Amazing.Breathtaking.Beautiful.Regal.First Class. One of the most remarkable and wonderful hotel experience I've ever had. It is off the beaten path, but it has a private boat service that takes giest into St. Marks' Square. It is also really easy to get to Muran, Burano and Torcello from the hotel. We went for New Years and we were so well looked after. I can't say enough about how great this hotel was. We look foward to staying there again

The first room we were given was tiny and faced the back of the hotel with the garbage; therefore it smelled. We were dissatisfied and were shown some other similar, unacceptable rooms. The next day we were switched to a much better room facing the street/canal and that was lovely. We were appreciative but it did take 24 hours for this to be accomplished. The front desk was helpful but not as friendly as at some other hotels in which we stayed. Also, the price of the room did not include breakfast, which was about 20 euros ($25). The location was very good and the recommendation for a cafe was excellent. The lobby was beautiful.

Beautiful hotel in a peaceful location - off the well trodden tourist routes but within comfortable walking distance of many bars/restaurants. Lovely garden with sunbeds for relaxation. Public areas of high quality. The room was rather expensive for its size and location. We stayed for 4 nights and most of the rooms on our corridor seemed to be allocated to tour groups. This meant disturbance from early risers and also that the maid service was ever-present (vacuum cleaners and laundry bins parked permanently on the corridor!) There was no view whatsoever from the room. Food and drink prices are very expensive in this hotel - however it is a lovely place to stay!

This hotel was recommended to me as an alternative to my first choice booking by Hotel Club and what a hotel it is,beautiful,clean ,and very relaxing! It has an amazing foyer and garden,make sure you walk to the end of it for another suprise,It is a little outside the main area 20 mins by foot to rialto.The staff are more than helpful..they have courtesy taxis to St Marks and Murano,this saves €5 each way per person.The hotel is in a residential area and is quiet ,no cars,just boats.I do suggest you enlarge the street maps or buy one with all the street names on it ..this will save you a lot of time.Shops are 2minutes away. Eat where the locals eat, lots of restaurants near the hotel.Breakfast was included.If you can afford it go for a suite or superior room and spoil yourself.I will definitely return to this hotel.Thank you Hotel Club for finding this hidden treasure..and also all the staff in the Grand Hotel Boscolo Dei Dogi Venice for making this a special weekend to remember.

this hotel is a dream come true. We first came to this hotel in 1999, and we were very impressed. Nowadays, it s even better, because they extended the private garden, and is probably the only hotel in venice with a so huge garden. We were located at the end of this beautiful garden. The rooms were spacious with a lot of venitians charming details and a private patio with a table and chairs, unfortunately the weather was not part of the dream at the time, so we didnt used it very much, but nevertheless, it was quite enjoyable... This hotel is one our favorite all around the world because of its refined atmosphere, its perfect service, and also for its location, out of the most touristic area, near the casino, but only 15 minutes from San Marco. If you want to enjoy the real Venice, where you gonna meet real venitians, go to this hotel! I recommend strongly this hotel! which is, for me, almost perfect!

Loacation: inspite of yr description, the hotel is 30 minutes from Pza San Marco, so it is not few steps... Although it was really cold outside (rainy, and below 10°C) tha hotel had no heating !!! not even an electric heater.... The breakfast buffett was really poor, the cold cuts were not fresh, this is unbelievable in a 5 star hotel. The hotel is really expensive for this poor service.

A lovely hotel off the beaten track, making for a very relaxing stay and giving you the opportunity to see the parts of Venice most tourists don't visit. Very friendly and helpful staff.

A beautiful place away from the normal hustling and bustling of Venice (but you can be there in 15' walk). We liked the lobby, the bar, the restaurant, the garden, the room. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff. - We liked the food at the restaurant, albeit a little bit pricey (Pesce crudo with a distinct Sashimi touch was delicious). Restaurant staff needs improvement (attention, skills). - The location indicated on Venere.com map was incorrect and we walked way too long. If it takes you longer than 3' from vaporetto station Madonna dell'Orto to the hotel then you are doing something wrong! - We will definitifely come back!!

Beautiful room, lovely public spaces, staff was a bit sparse but all services provided were wonderful. A bit off the beaten path but the walk into centro offered a wonderful chance to see the few Venetians who still reside in Venice.

Restaurant poor relative to cost both in food terms and service. Good value restaurants within easy walking distance.

We arrived in the middle of a Vaporetto strike and monsoon rains, and were consequently soaked to the skin. The staff did everything they could to dry us out and make the rest of our stay excellent. We would definitely recommend the hotel.
