Hotel Dei Dragomanni  

Overall, I did not like the Del Dragomanni. The postive things were: (1) Sandro at the front desk was really helpful and nice to me. (2) The towels were good. (3) The room had a fairly powerful blowdryer. (4) the hotel is very conveniently located between L'Accademia and Giglio water taxi stops on Line 1. When you come in on the train at St Lucia, no one will help you, so I suggest you learn the taxi routes beforehand. If you take a gondola (a private taxi), you will pay at least 100 e to get to the hotel. For 6.5 e, you can take the pubic water taxi, line 1 towards San Marco Square and get off at the Giglio stop. Although you will be very close when you get off the boat, you will still need a good map to the find the hotel.

First, Marco at the front desk is not helpful and has an unpleasant attitude. Also, my single room was tiny like a box. The pictures are not representative of what you will get. The shower was tiny and I had to stand sideways to raise my arms to wash my hair. Another problem was that the door of the safe would not open and there was no clock in the room. Also, there was only one english speaking channel on the tv (fox news) and the tv would not turn off by the remote, so I had to get up to turn it off. Also, wifi was not free - 5e per hour. Each thing by itself was minor, but altogether, it made me dislike stay very unpleasant.

The hotel is beautiful, very elegant, and intimate. The staff knows you by name and is very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again- it was fabulous!!! Location, cleanliness, staff, appeal, value: all perfect.

The hotel is a quick walk to St Marks and other restaurants and squares so the location is great. The rooms were a good size for Venice and the decor was very traditional Venice. It was very good.

I thought the woman on reception was a bit of a grump and couldn't help feeling just a little ripped off about the room price, but everything in Venice is expensive!!!

the fact is, I was looking for a good hotel in Venice to spent one night after a cruise trip. the hotels in the area were fully booked and the hotel initially booked with Booking.com was cancelled for unclear reasons. then, I searched another hotel quickly before running out the rooms in Venice. this is the story of how I got this hotel. when we checked in, the lobby didn't give you a good image that the room would be so great and spacy. I liked that hotel. it has an access to the main canal where a water taxi can transfer you anywhere. it has another access to have a private Gondola reserved from the hotel for 160 Euros (1 hour) before 7 PM.

The breakfast was poor. it is a little bit far away from Piazza San Marco. nut since Venice transportation mainly on foot. it worth walking that distance and enjoying the scenes.

Hotel was not up to our expectation as the room is very tired looking and windows was facing the narrow alley overlooking walls of other buildings. No air condition was available during our stay and the room is warm during the night if window is not open. Opening window is not a good option due to lack of privacy as the next door neighbour is very close by. Some of the lightings was not working and safety box also not working. Room does not have a proper covered wardrobe to hang clothes. Room decoration is very old and makes you feel eerie. Wash basin is very small and water just spill out all over your body as you washes your hand.

not far from San Marco, cozy room (№26), with grand channel view, but there only 2 rooms like this...

receptionist asked us to pay city tax in the period when city taxes are not being taken, they always are trying to cheat on you, keep it in mind

This is a beautiful hotel, nicely decorated, very well maintained and clean, plus very helpful staff. Love room 8. a very nice 5-minute walk from the hotel to San Marco's square is full of diverse stores. Breakfast was excellent with impeccable service. We would happily come back to this hotel.

We found room 12 a little small and colder than the other room we had. Just a minor detail compared with all the good things of this superb hotel.

The position, not too far from St. Mark's Square, sights and shops was very good, but it is not a typical Venetian Hotel which I would have preferred and in one of which friends of mind stayed, very close to the Accademia which is still quite central. And I could have stayed there for €20 less. Dragomanni is convenient for business people who only stay one or utmost two nights there.

Our stay at your hotel was arranged by our daughter and our son as a splendid present and the greatest surprise for our 36th wedding anniversary. Hotel Dei Dragomanni deserves its four stars! It was a very pleasant experience for both of us. Even the sunny weather was as in a dream. In mid november we had lunch in a nice restaurant in Zattere, sitting outside in the plain sunshine! Unforgettable! Nataša and Mathias
