Pros: - location (5-10 mins walk to San Marco Sq, and right on the waterfront) - lovely old world charm, and interesting curious throughout the hotel - the tranquil courtyard for breakfast Cons: - the standard bedroom was a bit small, and the bed was not a double but in fact two singles made-up as a double. The room was... more

My wife, her brother and I visited Venice in February. We had nothing booked in advance. At the front we saw the Metropole. It looked beyond our budget. We met a pleasant man at reception-possibly a manager. He quoted an off season rate which while good was still a bit beyond us. He then agreed to give us 5 nights... more

We spent 3 days at The Metropole Hotel in late August 2008. We booked this accommodation as a late booking and could not have been happier with our choice. It is an ideal spot on the very edge of Venice - - literally a few steps away from where all the boats stop and just a short walk away from... more

I am just returning home from my first visit to Venice and as part of my overall Old World experience I feel compelled to write a ‘little something’ to express appreciation for the wonderful time I spent at the Hotel Metropole last week.

Venice is clearly a ridiculously expensive city so was pleased to find the Hotel Metropole. It is situated close to the main Square but far enough not to be affected by the noise.

This is the fith/Sixth time we have stayed at the Metropole, it is in an excellent position and the staff are always very helpfull and welcoming. We were awarded an upgrade on previous occasions but this time we were in one of the smaller rooms at the back but apart from the view the room was fine. We will not... more

We stayed here on our first trip to Venice, in a Junior Suite. We arrived by water taxi and check in was very efficient and welcoming. The hotel is small but not tiny, with lots of beautiful features throughout - great collections of antique fans and art displayed everywhere. They gave us a fruit basket in our room on arrival.... more

I booked a double room and qualified for a promotional upgrade to a Junior Suite. When I checked in with my husband, we were given a wonderful full suite. The service was warm and we were extremely pleased with our experience. more
