Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo

Hotel was near to most of the attractions and we could even walk (about 20 minutes) to train station to catch a train to Padova. The hotel staff was very friendly, especially the front desk person (I think he is philipino). He helped us with clarifying places to go, catching a water bus/taxi, etc. The breakfast included in our stay and it was wonderful. They had sausages, eggs, bacon, ham, bread, many sweets, drinks, tea/coffee, etc. It was one of the best I have seen for breakfast included hotel stays. Also, hotel is on the Grand Canal and they have few chairs and two tables in front of the hotel for their guests to enjoy in evenings or day time near the canal. There were lot of dining options nearby. Hotel was very responsive to my messages through Expedia and even arranged a taxi from airport to hotel at late night. We stayed with 2 kids and we were very happy with our stay and would deycome back.

Great location, 10 minute Walt to Rialto and 5 minute walk to San Marco’s square. Really nice place to stay. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

I loved staying here. The hotel is sooooo conveniently located....can't imagine anything better. Right next to a water taxi, and from my windows, I could see Dior, Tiffany and Hermes! A girl's dream location! :) If I'm ever back in Venice, and I hope that'll be the case, I would most definitely stay here again and will recommend to my friends.
