Santa Croce hotels

I booked the room for my mom and I with a nice grand canal view and a 15th century balcony. If this doesn't make you feel like a royalty, the pope, or Juliet (in Romeo & Joliet), not many places will. The room is very elegant, but not overly-decorated. Everyone in the reception area we encountered was nothing but a delight to chat with. Location is also perfect, in a quiet neighbor close to train and bus station (which can be quite rare in most places.) It's on one end of the main street to San Marco square so you can't get lost if you just follow the signs in most corners and you can't miss much.

Walkable from where the airport shuttle drop off is (5 minutes). Incredibly friendly service at the front desk. Absolutely delicious breakfast and reasonably priced. Room was very comfortable. Walkable to ALL major landlmarks in venice.

Cannot fault the location of the hotel. Very convenience and very close by the main bus and all other transports. i.e. water bus stations. Takes only couple of minutes walking from main bus station (Pl. Rome) to the hotel location and easy to move around town for the local attractions. Only minor challenges I found is the internet facility provided complimentary. A bit slow and unable to use online chat. Room was a little bit too warm for my liking and had to open up the window which taking the risk of having mosquitos coming in. Did query about A/C, was informed because it is cold season, Air Con is not available during this period. Yes they do provide mosquito repellent. Excellent selections for breakfast which we enjoyed. Years of working experienced in hotel industry and I must say, well done to the senior management for having such great staffs working on the front line. Special thanks to Robert, Marta & Max for everything. Definitely will recommend the hotel to others.

Wonderfully relaxing five day break to Venice. Good flights, easy transport links to Venice from airport and hotel within 15 minutes walk from bus station. Very friendly welcome from hotel staff and room very clean and comfortable. This is our fourth stay in Venice and the Hotel Canal Grande has provided the best services.

OMG. We walked out of the train station onto the Grand Canal which was breathtaking then spied our hotel right across the Canal. Our room was at the top with two Windows that opened out to a magnificent view of the Grand Canal. We loved everything about this hotel. The location is wonderful. We could watch or lean out our Windows from morning till night and watch the action in and around the Canal. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We loved it. The only negative was no free wifi and we had to purchase blocks of time but no matter... We would must definitely stay there again!

My wife and I stayed one night in October on our first visit to Venice. The hotel was beautiful and in a great location. The staff was very friendly and took great care of you. We had a large room looking out over the grand canal. The central location is only 5 min to Ponte di Rialto made it easy to cover a lot of ground in one day. The hotel breakfast was good and had plenty of options. After spending the afternoon and evening in Venice, we sat on the deck with a nice bottle of wine from the hotel bar. They gladly stored our bags the next day until we were ready to pick them up during the afternoon. The only downside was that it was a bit tricky to find. If taking the public water bus, you need to get off at San Stae and head back over a couple of canals toward Rialto to find the hotel. Other finding it at first, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

The hotel is convenient for the airport bus / train station and water busses . We caught the airport bus right outside the terminal and it only took 45minutes from touch down to being settled in the hotel the return fare is 11euros.I would recommend you ask for a canal view room as room 214 overlooks the roof of the kitchens and a side passage way. The breakfast was very good with lots of options mostly continental, they did have scrambled eggs and bacon and toast for the Brits.The staff were exceptional and very helpful

Best hotel of trip in europe. Staff is friendly, room is clean and confortable. Location is good, only 10 mins walking distance from train station and 1 mins to waterbus station, but it is a bit hard to find the hotel, it does not have a big sign. Over all it's a great hotel and Venice is a lovely city.

We loved staying here and would recommend it. We stayed in an apartment a couple of blocks away from the hotel. The staff was very helpful in every way.

Great hotel although not close to St Marks Square, this can be a good thing as excellent choice of very good quality and resonably priced restaurants and great little Bacari where you can get a cheap glass of wine, snacks and mingle with the locals. Vaperetto's within walking distance. Although people think Venice is an expensive city in the right areas it is not.
