The location was excellent, within walking distance of San Marco, very close to the vaporetto stop. The beds were very comfortable, the breakfast had a nice variety (the warm croissants were great). The staff is very nice and helpful. We had to leave very early and they prepared a small breakfast to go.

The furniture was a bit dated. The 3 flights of stairs were difficult to climb especially if you had luggage (there is a small elevator, but it was very cramped and felt unsafe). One of the evenings we had no hot water or heating, but they fixed it the following morning.

ROOM AND BATHROOM VERY SPACIOUS. NICE LAYOUT FOR BREAKFAST - I.E. TABLES AND BUFFET BREAKFAST GOOD CHOICE AND FRESH AND TASTY. A/C WORKED WELL-WINDOWS AND CANAL VIEW VVERY NICE . VERY NICE MAN MET US ON FIRST NIGHT- GAVE US GOOD MAP AND ADVICE.

LIFT VERY SMALL FOR LUGGAGE AND 2 PEOPLE - BUT V. OLD BUILDING AND DID APPRECIATE ANY LIFT, SUGGEST RECEPTIONIST SHOULD PROB ANSWER DOOR IF POSSIBLE AND GREET PEOPLE ON ARRIVAL - MOSTLY TO ADVISE RE LIFT -LUGGAGE, IF HAVING TEA FOR BREAKFAST WOULD PREFER A POT OF BOILING WATER, WATER IN FLASK NOT HOT ENOUGH I THINK.

We enjoyed our stay at the Palazzo hotel. Breakfast was very good especially the cafe cappuccino!! Valentina and working colleagues were very accommodating, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The staff was always available to help me out with our questions and concerns, giving us directions and recommendation on places to have dinner. I had to give a '10' rating because there is no 10+++ rating. We would stay again when visiting Venice, Italy.

The entrance to the hotel could have more lighting to be able to seen easier.

This was a detour trip from original plans so we were looking for comfort and value - Palazzo Guardi was the right choice . The room was the perfect size for a few days , the bed comfortable , and the shower area ca good size - all exceptionally clean . What I also loved was the room’s character . Sometimes value can feel stark and the room was warm and fit a stay in Venice. You will ‘hear’ this and that - but Venice is close together and that was expected . Breakfast was just right ! The fruit was fresh and sweet (so ripe and not green). And the staff was helpful. It’s good to know there is an elevator - helps with the steps. Very happy we choose to stay here .

The location is great. Very close to the Galleria del Accademia and not too far from The Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square. There is also a Vaparetto stop at the Accademia. Rooms were large and comfortable with decent aircon. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Ottavia was very friendly and helpful.

It’s quite hard to find. The entrance is down a very narrow alleyway. The hotel reception is on the third floor so you either have to walk up several flights of stairs or take the (tiny and very slow) lift which is only really big enough for one person.

Review for Palazzo Guardi I had an excellent stay at Palazzo Guardi! The location is absolutely perfect, situated in a quiet yet central area that allows for easy exploration of Venice’s main attractions. One of the highlights of my stay was the warm hospitality of the lady assisting during breakfast. She was incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure guests were comfortable. The extra cappuccino she offered truly added a thoughtful touch to the morning experience—such small gestures make a big difference. The room was very comfortable and provided everything I needed. It was clean, well-maintained, and created a cozy atmosphere, making it almost perfect for my stay.

I have a couple of suggestions that could make the experience even better. It would be great to have some fresh salad options available during breakfast, as it would add a nice variety to the meal. Additionally, including a toothbrush in the bathroom amenities, along with the provided shower gel, would be a thoughtful touch for guests who might forget to pack one. These are minor additions that could further enhance the overall guest experience in an already fantastic setting.

A wonderful place, like stepping into another time. Our whole famiily of 5 fitted into the magnificent room. Very clean, no problem with hot water even with 3 teenagers showering..breakfast with everything you need. I highly recommend to live at a historical place like this if you are so fortunate to visit Venice. Also close to a boat station for efficient transport to the train or Marcus area or Lido with the beach. The pic is the view from the breakfast room

I only wish my stay had been longer

This was our third visit to the hotel and we were given a warm welcome by reception and breakfast staff. We like the breakfast and the location is excellent - within easy walking of many sights but out of the heavy tourist areas. The room was quiet and comfortable and well serviced,

The air conditioning in our room could have been more efficient, though it seemed to work well elsewhere.

This is a perfect location from which to explore all the wonders of Venice. Easily accessed from Academia water bus stop, and in the great Dosaduro sestiere with Osterias nearby, it was the perfect hotel to recharge. Quiet, clean and helpful staff to ensure a good experience. Breakfast just outside your bedroom door makes a perfect start to your day.

The exterior door in the small lane was easy to miss the first time we arrived.

We loved everything as well as the staff. Room was very good. Breakfast was great. Staff were very helpful.

Did not give excellent for all because though it was specified there was a lift, there was none I am nearly 70 withBP and hauling up our luggage was difficult. Though Daniel helped when we checked in and the caretaker, when we checked out , with the luggage. Two suggestions 1. Instead of only coffee maker , please keep an option of electric kettle and tea milk sachets. 2. It would be very helpful if breakfast started earlier, at least 7.30 am if not 7.00 am.
