Casa Nicolò Priuli

We asked about directions prior to arriving and the hotel advised which 'vaporetto'/ferry to take from the train station, then suggested we call them once we arrived. They then sent a porter to help with luggage and show us the way from the Grand Canal area to the hotel through all the little alleyways. Breakfasts were fantastic with a large variety of foods and beautiful quality and freshness. Our canal view room was spacious and gorgeous. The hotel location is just far enough away from Piazza San Marco to avoid huge crowds (in September), but close enough to lots of the sights.

It is in a very convenient location, within walking distance to most important areas of town and very near many good restaurants.

It should be noted that a private taxi costs 140 euro round trip and less costly transportation isn't very convenient especially when carrying bags.

Location is good. Staff friendly and very helpfull. Nice bathroom. Breakfast at least adequate.l

Room was dark. Contineuos noise day and night from fridge compressor made it difficult to sleep.Had a short walk along pavement to breakfast room.

Perfect location: Within 5 minutes from San Marco and from Rialto, but still in a quite and beautiful area. Rooms are very nice with antique furniture and lovely 'authentic' atmosphere. This was the second time for us in Casa Nicolo Priuli. But next time we would (like our first time) ask for a more expensive room again (see also remarks below)

Quality of rooms differs a lot. Some rooms are very, very small and dark. We declined the first room which was designated to us, and asked for another -larger- room, which was available, happily... Breakfast (buffet) is nice, but not great for a 3/4 star hotel. (we enjoyed our breakfast in the lovely breakfastroom of the Palazzo Priuli, which is right next to the Casa Priuli) A lot of sweet breads, but no dark bread, yogurt-naturel often already forgiven...But then again, the meager breakfasts appear to be a typical Italian problem...

Proximate location to main sights and free wireless internet access.

Hotel location was confusing and hard to find as listed house number was different from actual entry where reception, making it hard to find especially for arrivals at night. Staff at reception isn't particularly friendly.

The canal view from our small but comfortable room was lovely, and breakfast was served in a beautiful room in the palazzo.

The elevator was a somewhat spooky.

The room was comfortable and well appointed - the air conditioning worked well and the view of the canals was fantastic

The hotel was a little difficult to find

Convenience to transport, shopping

A/C did not work on arrival & we informed the hotel staff, but it was not fixed, We're not moved to another room on the first night when temp. Reached 45 degrees Centigrade. We had to open the windows and we're bitten by mosquitoes and there were also bed bugs. We complained we're goinig to check out should we not be given another room with air cond. On second night we're moved to another room where the air cond. Worked. This should be only 2-3 stars hotel. Lift not working properly.

Arrangements were made by the front desk for the water taxo. This was helpful

The beds were uncomfortable, there was no instructions on using the phone (to contact the front desk) had to go to front desk personally to request a wake up call. The airconditioning did not work properly, the room was warm hot and muggy. We were told by the night clerk that we could pay for the water taxi via visa card at the front desk at check out. To our surprise, we were told at check out that credit card was an acceptable payment for the water taxi, and we would need to pay cash. We were appalled, we were due to get on the water taxi in 5 minutes; therefore, we had to run to the nearest atm in order to make the water taxi on time to catch our flight out.

The location was excellent(in the heart of Venice), and the attic room gave a surprising scenic view from above Venice. Free internet access in the lobby was nice, and the breakfast hall was beautiful.

It was an attic room, so a bit cramped for someone of my height. Also, we booked the Venice in Love package, but none of the inclusive package was ready when we arrived. The free champagne was served warm, they provided free transport to Murano island glass factory (which was quite anti-climatic) but not a return, and the room had big stains on the carpet. Also, having the multiple buildings was a bit confusing on arrival; it took a bit to find the welcome desk.

Being at the center of the city and close to all the interesting places.

It was a great place to walk to St. Mark square in Venice. The service was very good.
