Not great for gays
On arriving, after my partner had already check in, I was told that the room has a double bed (marital bed in Italian). It’s discriminatory to have to explain to the staff that we are a (gay) couple, as a straight couple would have never had to. This is just shameful in this day and age and in such a popular destination! Also most rooms are next to the reception or the very noisy front door and therefore not quiet. Our room was very dark and hot, though nicely appointed. Breakfast was great and the breakfast staff fantastic, but all tables are weirdly set back, When the could be placed to the front of the room to face the Grand Canal. The approach to the hotel through the smallest lane is not brilliant.

Dear Mr Ping, I am very sorry to read about your not great experience at Palazzo Barbarigo. We usually host lots of gays couples, and we are famous for being gay-friendly. Every room is equipped with a queen size bed, and you can find this information written in every booking engine. We usually can provide an extra bed upon request. So we usually make every couple (in love, family or friends) happy about their night accomodation. There is only one room facing the reception, lower category, and I can find out you booked that one. Most of our rooms are located upstairs or on the Grand Canal, they can enjoy quiet atmosphere and nice view. We can offer you a free upgrade on your next stay, so you'll be able to feel how cozy your vacation can be. Thank you for your great appreciation about breakfast! Our living room facing the Grand Canal is dedicated to bar lounge, each guest can enjoy it all day and night, and also have a quick breakfast there. Complete breakfast, as you happily experienced, can be served only in breakfast area, close to the kitchen. We look forward to see you again!

Great boutique hotel with super service!
Incredible service and hospitality. Loved the team here - made us feel like family in a luxury hotel. The hotel is easy to get to by water taxi, but the 'land' entrance opens up to a very narrow alley (just enough for 1 person to walk) of around 50 meters till you get to you the main street.

A bit difficult to find, but a very nice place with excellent service and friendly staff. The bedroom was large and the bathroom was high end. We enjoyed drinks on the second floor balcony where the bar is located. Use your GPS to navigate the area, but in walking distance to everything.

Location was great. The little ally way that you take to get into the back door was a bit scary the first time down it. We weren't sure we were going the right way, so a little more light and a few more signs would have helped. Would have liked a balcony.

Beautiful grand canal stay
Beautiful hotel - very well designed and right on the Grand Canal. You get the real Venetian experience. Highly recommend forking out for the water taxi arrival if you’re lucky and it’s quiet you can get a seat on the terrace in the bar area overlooking the canal. Some have mentioned finding it from the street difficult but we had no problems - the higgledy piggledy streets are just what Venice is about. If you don’t get lost you’re missing out in our view!!

The location is good for sightseeing. The staff were sparse in number but very helpful and friendly.It seemed like an extraordinarily expensive B and B rather than a hotel. There was a bar but itt was empty and dark. A gin and tonic cost 15 euros.There was no atmosphere of warmth and welcoming. My room already costing 300 euros a night was shabby. The wardrobe was ricketty with kdoor knobs missing. Breakfast was served in the bar. All cold nothing except the coffee was served cooked or hot. KAs soon as I was shown my room I was invited to take an upgrade for a further 80 euros a night. Not my idea of luxury.

This hotel was absolutely amazing! It was right on the canal and nice and quiet at the same time. There is a great second floor bar with a few chairs outside to overlook the canal. It’s weird getting to the hotel as you go through an ally so ask for directions but don’t let that worry you, this place is amazing! Would stay here again in a second

Excellent hotel - highly recommended
This hotel was an excellent place to stay to explore Venice. We arrived at the front door (waterside) via a water taxi which was a fantastic experience. The staff were all wonderful - kind yet professional & very efficient. Breakfast was immense! A huge bowl of fresh fruit, cheese, meats & pastries. The fresh juices were delicious. My only suggestion for a small improvement is the introduction of a pillow menu. The pillows in my room were thin and not particularly supportive. I would have appreciated something of a higher quality. Other than that it was perfect! If I’m ever in Venice again, I will return!

Upon arriving at Palazzo Barbarigo, we were warming welcomed by Ivan and was extremely helpful getting us settled in. The next morning we were treated to the fabulous breakfast offered by the hotel and the service provided by Alex was excellent! We also met Valentina and appreciated her warm personality since sometimes it’s not always this good. Thank you Valentina! The hotel is accessed easily by taxi boat (about 70Euros-15 min)) from Tronchetto car park or you can take the public boats (Vaporetto-at least 40 min) to San Toma Station. Access to San Toma is via back alley ways. At first it may seem intimidating but don’t worry, all pathways in Venice are narrow. It is a 5 minute walk from the ferry stop to the hotel. The photos seem a little dark and may turn you off but once you arrive, it is a beautiful hotel giving it a mystical charm. The hotel is located perfectly to reach all the touristic sights but situated in a nice quiet area. If you’re lucky enjoy a drink on their private balcony enjoying views of the grand canal. You will feel like James Bond! For dinner I recommend Trattoria San Toma in the piazza near the hotel and ask for Antonio. Be there by 7:30 as it fills up quickly. As shown by my rating I highly recommend Hotel Pallazo Barbarigo!

Absolute jewel of a hotel. Close to the water bus (vaporetto), but just far away enough from the Rialto Bridge to enjoy the quiet serenity of the island. The hotel decoration is luxurious, And the staff who all speak English, Were knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel entrance resembles something out of a James Bond movie ! We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Atmospheric and serene
This is a great hotel. It is nestled away and takes a bit of finding, but once there you are surrounded by an aura of stylish tranquility. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and nothing is a problem for them. The spritz or coffee next to the Grand Canal is always an unmissable experience and the location is central and easily accessible from Santa Lucia or Piazzale Roma without being in amongst the tourist hoard of San Marco or Rialto. A great experience and we shall be back!

Liked the room. Getting to the property was difficult for a first time visitor to Venice. The main entrance to the hotel is ON the Grand Canal so must take a water taxi. Rear entrance is at the end of Calle Corner, which is a very barrow alley and a bit difficult to find.

It’s Venice
Finding a hotel that has everything you are looking for is difficult. This hotel and the staff certainly try however. It was clean, the staff extremely accommodating and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was also very good. Please keep in mind that it’s Venice. Water when standing for a long time has a certain odor and occasionally this odor permeated the room. Not pleasant but we were rarely in the room. I suggest investing in dehumidifiers. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Very nice and clean hotel. Excellent service and breakfast. Very modern in construction. The location is very good, however if you take a water taxi from airport, there is some struggle in walking from taxi stop to the hotel. This is true for most places in Venice. Overall a very good place.

Happy stay
Located just next to the Grand Canal and close to San Toma pier. Very accessible, despite its entrance opens into a very small alley that you may miss. Staff said most guest arrive by water taxi but we took the water bus. Room is relatively smaller than my other stays in Italy but it is well decorated. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is spacious as well. The tiles of the shower place may be slippery after use. I liked the breakfast. There are many choices of bread that is soft and warm, fruits, cheese and ham. Front desk staff is helpful and welcoming. One morning we needed to go for an early tour and they helped us to prepare the breakfast earlier. I am really happy about the stay with Palazzo Barbarigo.

Beautiful hotel - firm mattresses
What a beautiful hotel and a lovely breakfast. The hotel is very hard to find by foot - the street you go down is very narrow and even having been to Venice before, it was a little confusing. The staff is great - very kind and accommodating. The mattresses though are terribly firm. They were kind and tried to soften it a bit with blankets, but it wasn’t enough. So while I’d recommend the hotel to others, my one caveat is that, unless you like an extremely firm (we’re talking a few steps above a hard floor) bed, just be careful.

Lovely hotel with fantastic, friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was a little disappointing, too many unappetising pastries and orange juice wasn’t fresh but the fruit was lovely. Great location and little terrace over Grand Canal was wonderful to sit on and watch the activity on the canal with a drink in hand.

Just perfect
We were back at this hotel a year after our previous stay. The hotel is absolutely stunning. Our room was a perfect sanctury with a comfy bed and the best rain shower that brought me back to life after a cold day outside. The lounge area has beautiful views of the Grand Canal. Some rooms are facing the grand canal as well, others face a smaller side canal. I can go through features and amenities, but the thing I will remember most is the feel of tranquility and peace that this exquisite hotel gives you. It’s a perfect place to relax and recharge before storming the crowded streets of Venice.

Elegant but needs attention! The hotel is lovely but needs a lick of paint. Our room had scuffs and marks in the bathroom/loo and main bedroom. Staff overall were great and friendly. One morning at breakfast a member of staff was stressed as he claimed he was the only one on duty, hence my wife's wait of 20 mins for a cappuccino. Departure and arrival experience was excellent.

Perfect boutique hotel on Canal!
After being stuck in a car for three hrs at Slovenian/Crotia border so glad to turn in car at Venice airport and jump in a water taxi that brought us to front door of hotel. Then greeted by a Daniel who welcome us with warm greetings and a great itinerary. The hotel was so beautifully decorated and such a relaxing atmosphere. Our room overlooked a side canal and could open window with a nice breeze miss it already! Just side note the hotel is down three narrow corridors off main st. Felt like heading to a mysterious speak easy. But worth the walk. Love our stay💞
