We stayed for three nights in the hotel Carlton & Grande Canal in Venice. What a lovely hotel. Dairo the barman/waiter is a lovely chap, very friendly and nothing too much trouble for him he is a credit to the hotel. We landed in Marco Polo airport. We went to the Hellovenezia kiosk to collect Blue Venice Cards which i... more

We stayed at the Carlton Grand Canal as part of a tour, and enjoyed our time there very much. As other reviews have said, it is a bit far from St. Mark's Square. At night, it is VERY easy to get lost (believe me, I know); so I would seriously recommend using the vaporetto. The souvenir stall just outside of... more

Although the hotel is on the outside of the central Venice, we found it to be handy to everything. Everything is walkable and within 30 minutes but it is nice to have the water bus ticket for 2, 3 days especially when you have been walking all day and your feet are tired. Plus if coming later in the evening... more

The hotel was priced pretty high, but worth every penny. We stayed in a room that was beautiful and clean (also normal toilets, while I'm not such a prude, I like to be able to use normal clean toilets). The staff was absolutely wonderful. We regularly went to Marco, one of the concierges there and he gave us recommendations to... more

Definitely a nice hotel. Not sure that it is worth the canal view room....This made the stay VERY noisy. There is a walk way below the window (we were fortunate to have a balcony room overlooking the canal). All day and night you could hear the people pulling their suitcases on the walk below. Their talking carried into the rooms.... more

Located close to the bus station , train station and one of the main vaperetto stops , the hotel is perfecly located to be able to explore all of the sights that Venice has to offer. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was very clean. Our room did not have a canal view - and was small... more

Stayed at the Hotel Carlton and Grand Canal 7th to 10th April. I took my mum for her 60th Birthday but it was our second trip to Venice. We booked through Ryan Air and flew with them from Liverpool to Treviso so got a discount on the normal hotel rate. If you want a Grand Canal View you have to... more

Positives: Everything was nicely decorated and clean, breakfast varied, very good location for the main sites (water taxi stop opposite the hotel), staff good. Good value - although we booked it through www.lastminute.com and so didn't pay full price. Not so positives: the rooms were very hot. We slept with the windows open and it was okay, but our friends... more
