I highly recommend this hotel. We arrived late at night with our 7 year old almost asleep and we were greeted with smiles and helpful info. We ordered a junior suite (no canal view) but it was very large with room for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the jacuzzi was great!! The best thing about this hotel was the... more

My wife and I stayed here from 11th to the 14th of November and found the location great with the accessibility by the water taxi as a result we did not have to drag our luggage through the streets. The breakfast was good and the staff very helpful. The location of the hotel is great and is just a two... more

My wife and I stayed at the Dona Palace November 2-5, 2009. Based upon past reviews from Trip Advisor, we requested a Junior Suite Canal View Room. The hotel is located two blocks from Piazza San Marco and we were able to walk from the airport water bus (called the Alilaguna) stop to the hotel (though the entrance to the... more

Staff friendly and helpful, breakfast was ok, would suggest you eat all you can as eating out can be very expensive. We stayed in room 40 which is a nice room, the only problem being it is dark so you need the lights on during the daytime. If you are going to Venice during the months of Nov/Dec be prepared... more

Modest sized hotel with an attractive courtyard and private water dock three bridges up from the Bridge of Sighs which we could see (under its tarpaulin) from our room. We had a junior suite with antique furniture and mirrors and (closed) fireplace. Beautiful large room full of character with high celings and views onto the canal. A subdivided area contained... more

This was one our favorite hotels in Europe. Our room (number 26) had the best views of the canal and the outdoor patio. My husband and I would leave the windows open at night and hear the gondolas go by. Great location, the hotel is a few steps away from St Marks Square. Their outdoor patio is so pretty at... more

We stayed at this hotel for only 1 night before leaving for Florence, but it was an unforgettable stay. The hotel is tricky to find, in a maze of narrow pedestrian walkways near Piazza San Marco--we had to ask for directions twice. Our room was spacious, with comfortable beds, and an extra large bathroom. Our room overlooked a canal with... more

This was the second time at the hotel. Love the local right by St Marks. The reception area looked like a transit camp with bags everywhere, the desk clerk was not very welcoming. The suite (#12) was rather dark and the sitting room very small (we had a std room last time which was much brighter). The maid left cleaning... more

Chose this hotel due to proximity to St. Marks (VERY close!) and that it offered handicapped access rooms (traveling with companion in a non-motorized wheelchair who can stand & take a few steps with support). Did we LUCK OUT! First, do yourself a favor and take a Water Taxi from the airport--it's the way to go! Requires a moderate walk... more
