9.4/10 Exceptional! (191 reviews)

Very nice hotel in quiet (relatively) San Croce. Very walkable to everything. Clean rooms w views. Great breakfast and service. Only issue was check in - deceptive advertising of kids free but staff disputed vehemently. Although this is likely a US vs italy custom- this should be made clearer (Eg strict registration policy for kids despite free stay w existing bedding noted on web site and other internet sources ) to avoid the significant stress we experienced at check in - in addition to lecture from staff. We did not feel welcomed initially - but - to the credit of the management- they did find a way to accommodate- and this is the bottom line and reason for 5 star recommendation overall. I travel extensively (w st Regis stay on our next stop in Venice just completed) and would stay at Relais San Croce again despite confusion. Check out clerk was excellent on March 14 2023 in early afternoon.

7.6/10 Good! (1,009 reviews)

Hotel is in a great location, close to both the train station, tram and Duomo. Hotel room is small but it's not unmanageable especially if you're just using it as a place to sleep. Only issue was with the amount of mosquitoes that were in the room, this meant that I could not keep the window open and spent some time trying to kill them as the noise kept me up at night.
