This hotel is a real gem. The staff were wonderful and could not be more hopeful. Would certainly recommend Hotel Moresco to anyone wanting to visit Venice and it was so conveniently located for all the sights.

Palazzetto My Venice is a beautiful hotel. It is in a quaint area but yet a short walk to St Marks Square, a water bus terminal and the stunning winding streets of Venice.
The staff cannot do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble, and they are really friendly. Our room was perfect and breakfast is amazing. I did not find a fault with this hotel, the staff made it a wonderful experience for us and we will definitely return one day.

We stayed for 6 nights and found this hotel just perfect for our needs. From start to finish the staff were very friendly and cheerful as well as helpful and efficient. I would especially mention the lovely lady who oversaw the breakfast room each morning - always smiling and welcoming. Our room was tastefully furnished with a good sized bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities - unusual in Italy I think but very welcome.
Free Prosecco on arrival, fantastic choice at breakfast for 5euros and...

Two guests were greeted warmly and everything efficiently taken care of. Friendly & helpful staff; generally very quiet and peaceful accommodation. The hotel location and grounds are ideal; we could be dropped off at the doorstep by the river taxi and within easy walking distance of good restaurants, and attractions; very close to one of the few bridges crossing the Grand Canal.
The room size and bathroom were good but not overly generous - we had not asked for a suite although there was...

A wonderful hotel in a nice part of Venice, almost like a hidden gem. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the breakfast selection was great. The room was nice too, clean, relatively big for the location, bathroom great too. In room facilities good, although no iron, they do have an ironing service which is supplemented by a tip to housekeeping. There’s a coop (convenience store, gelato parlour, coffee/pastry shop all within 30 seconds.

The apartment was perfect for what we needed - great location a couple of minutes from Academia bridge, clean and nicely appointed. Whoever did the modernising was not a perfectionist in terms of finish! But everything worked well and we enjoyed it enormously. The support we got from administration before out trip was excellent and the staff at the sister Hotel Nani Mocenigo Palace were absolutely delightful, friendly and helpful.

This hotel is surprisingly close to the Santa Lucia train station...a walkable distance with cabin bag. The front of the hotel opens out into a busy market area and restaurants, souvenir shops and bars are all around. There are two major waterbus stops a few minutes walk away so very convenient. Very close to the Grand Canal.
Lorinzo in reception was very helpful as were all other staff. The hotel is small but the rooms are spacious. Very clean bathrooms. Not a sign of mould or wear and tear...
