Palazzo del Giglio

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. The hotel has a great location, it is close to all of Venice's main attractions and close to the vaporetto stop. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We received a free bottle of prosecco from the hotel, which was a very nice addition to our stay. Breakfast was served to our room and was tasty. Rooms are clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel as great place to stay in Venice. Show

I was glad we booked this hotel. This hotel checks off all the requirements when booking a hotel in Venice: 1. Location. I travel with a baby, so 3 luggage s & a baby stroller. My biggest concern was crossing the bridges in Venice. So, my number one requirement was a hotel must be close to a pier or a dock. This hotel is located just a minute walk from the Giglio dock and doesn't have to cross any bridge. So, getting from the water taxi to the hotel was a breeze. 2. Price. Most hotels that have access to a dock or pier are very expensive in Venice. This hotel is not water front, which makes it much more affordable. We paid €420 for a deluxe double room, which has a double bed and a sofa that can be pulled out as a bed. 3. Hospitality. The staff were amazing. We got to the hotel early at 12pm, but the check-in hour is 3pm. The staff was able to let us in our room early, which was great because we were really tired. The surprise is they even have champagne for us, a basket of fruits. And breakfast was also included, which I had no idea of when booking. 4. Friendliness. The front desk/receptionists were friendly and extremely helpful. They helped us booked our water taxi from the hotel to the airport, and the price was just as cheap as if I book online. 5. Cleanliness. The hotel is on the newer comparing to other hotels in Venice. Even though the entire Venice is so compact and old, but this hotel doing a great job of keeping it clean and up to date. The room is the largest when comparing to other hotel rooms that I stayed during this Italy trip (for the same price, much bigger comparing to rooms in Rome and Florence). The room, especially the bathroom, is really clean, spotless. 6. Extra. The room comes with a kitchen, bowls, plates, and utensils. They also have a 110V outlet in the bathroom for American tourists, which I love so much because we have a portable water boiler that only take 110V. 7. View. The room has a nice view of the square, which has nice air breeze. It was nice to open the window and watch people walking in the square. Overall, we enjoy our stay at this hotel the most during our Italy trip (we stayed in Rome and Florence before Venice). I would definitely recommend this hotel for all family and friend. So many good things to stay about this hotel.
