Best Western Montecarlo

Location and staff were fantastic, facilities and service also great for the price

the breakfast was rubbish

Location,

Breakfast was awful

Liked the staff, liked the breakfasts, liked the location.

Firstly, Venice is mind-blowing. It is like being on a filmset - it's unique and a must see. Secondly, be aware of the Americans who review this hotel and say the rooms and bathrooms are small. Our room was spacious with high headroom and the bathroom was functional with room to shower, wash and sit on the loo! What else do you want to do in a bathroom?! The room was clean with quality bed linen and traditional Venetian style furniture. The hotel is superbly placed - just a one minute walk from St. Mark's Square. And 10 mins walk from the Rialto Bridge. Yes, it's situated on a very narrow street but hey, Mr American, this is Venice and big is not always beautiful! The hotel staff was knowledgeable and helpful and breakfast was plentiful. Being in the middle of the tourist area meant the room was a little noisy with people sounds, but of course, no traffic noise and closing the external shutters as well as the windows cut out most of this. However, it quietened down well before midnight as most tourists bedded down early for the next day's busy sightseeing. Some tips: 1. Avoid Venice in the hot summer months. It's very crowded and the nature of the place does give rise to nasty drainage smells - so they say. We visited in October (our first visit) and the weather was fab. 20 degrees and bright blue skies - and mo smells! 2. Don't be frightened by the absence of vehicular access when finding your hotel. Of course, there are no buses and taxis on the island but getting around is easy. Do your research first and look at the public transport system online to find out how it all works. There are regular water buses which connect with the hire car, rail and bus stations at Piazzale Roma and everyone is helpful and will advise you how to buy your ticket and what line you need to take.

location in san marco , however the hotel is very difficult to find

staff are not very helpfull but not so bad as well, very pricy room for its size and noissy as well

This is a fantastic hotel. The room was a bit small, however as was stated - it is a over 400 years old. Very nice, helpful and courteous staff, room, breakfast and location was excellent. Despite being close to everything, with the window closed, could not hear the outside, so nice and quiet. Again, location is excellent.

Great location and the staff was very helpful.

Staff were extremely friendly, professional and helpful. The location of the hotel could not have been better.

The rooms were cramped and the decor tired and way overdue for a refurbishment. The en-suite facilities were circa 1960's and quite honestly unacceptable.

The location was fantastic.

The breakfast was not very good. The eggs were cold and runny and the coffee maker was not working a few times. The dining staff was not friendly and seemed to be bothered if you addressed them with an issue of concern.

Superbly quaint and comfortable hotel on the doorstop of St. Marks square meant the location was good.

Breakfast was disappointing and Germanised, we went to Venice for traditional Italian.

Excellent location to visit the city; The staff was very kind. We recomend this option

I think the place was perfect for what we wanted and easily found. Great location in Venice and would return
