I love that they had a pack and play available as well as plug converters available for free to borrow. My MIL AND BIL also had rooms. MIL room was a suite with a separate living room/ bedroom with large armoire tv etc. They have a wonderful breakfast available each morning with some delicious pastries, fresh fruits and vegetables. A pancake maker, cereal assortments, and beverages. The dining area does get incredible full fast and it makes it hard to sit with your family if you have more than four. If you'd like you can pay extra to dine outside and enjoy the view of windows and canals. Excellent service the entire stay.

*Review is for the "Wellness Apartments", not the Paruta hotel…read more Great location in Venice and for the size of the apartment, it was a great price. Modern and spacious living space. Walkable distance to everything we needed to do with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Hotel staff (at Palazzo Paruta) was so friendly and we really appreciated their help in booking a private transfer to the airport for us for the morning of our departure (FYI - €180 for an early 4:30AM pickup at the St. Angelo port, 5 min walk from the apartment). We stayed in room 704 and having the balcony was wonderful - we spent so much time out there drinking wine, people watching, and relaxing in the evenings after a long day out. Bed was comfortable (duvet covers vs. sheets!), two TVs - one in living room area and one in bedroom, clean and very luxurious shower with both a rainfall shower and a regular detachable shower head, and a soaking tub that we didn't use but seemed to be very clean and well-maintained. As a note, due to the "wellness apartments" not operating like a hotel and per Italian regulations, there is no cleaning service or breakfast offered; however, we were surprised to come back one day to see our towels had been folded. After reaching out to their front desk, they confirmed it was indeed in their cleaning service who will only come in to fold and/or replenish towels. We were asked to use the do not disturb sign if we did not want this service. Overall we had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely come back next time we are in Venice.

The breakfast was excellent and they would have a type of 'happy hour' in the late afternoon in the beautiful bar area. Giancarlo went above and beyond with his delicious food and his recommendations for us in the area. We stayed in the lovely hotel part of the site on the first floor and not the apartments. The room was quaint and charming but a bit musty. I would have loved to have had the windows open but there were no screens so bugs would have been an issue. We were happy to have ac but the bathroom was always humid and take care with the slippery bathroom floors. Again, minor issues that I feel could be fixed to make it all around 5 stars.

Its a nice hotel with murano glass chandeliers to complement what Venice is so famous for. The breakfast buffet was pretty good. They have hot chocolate, tea, coffee, orange juice, grapefruit juice, eggs, cheese, ham, salami, an assortment of pastries and more.

The hotel is located in the perfect spot. It was located not far from the St. Marck's Square. There were shops and restaurants right at our finger tips.

This might be a 4 Star Hotel by Italian standards, but this place is a 5 Star Hotel to me…read more I know these hotels are very old and renovations in Venice are extremely difficult, but the shower situation in Room 105 wasn't ideal. Pretty much every time my wife used the shower, she left 1/2 an inch of water on the floor because the shower glass door isn't practical (you might as well take a shower with no door). I'm not really sure who "engineered" the tub/shower situation but it could be improved. However, the hotel staff was exceptionally friendly and more than willing to make suggestions. The convenience and location of the hotel couldn't be better. We could walk just about anywhere in under 15 minutes (and hopefully not get lost). The place was super clean and inviting. And finally, the free breakfast buffet put this place over the top. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay again.

My SO and I definitely enjoyed our stay the most at this first hotel compared to the other locations. It was also the most modern hotel that felt the most luxurious. They had a classy black design and dark hallway with the room numbers illuminated. The hotel is on the main canal in Murano with nice bar and outside terrace overlooking the water and right next to the water taxi / bus stop which takes you to Venice and the other islands. The water taxi dropped us off right in front of the hotel from the Venice airport. We arrived early and our room wasn't ready so we stopped by for a refreshing drink at the cafe next door. I love how each part of the hotel and cafe were decorated beautifully with the colorful Venetian glass. After comparing to the other hotels the AC was very well controlled and we never felt too cold or too hot. The bed here was also the most comfortable compared to all of the other locations. They included a small table with a nice lounge chair, 2 areas for luggage and a long glass table and stool to sit. We had 1 large window on the first floor that did not really have a view of anything. There's a roomy upright rainfall shower room plus a large flat screen TV (we didn't use). This was also the only hotel to offer 2 complimentary bottles of water one fizzy and one flat. I loved the bountiful warm lighting options in the room and the layout of the place. Breakfast was included in the large dining room and they had a buffet style. I think otherwise it may cost extra if you booked yourself. The hotel offers a modest spread of bread, cheeses, pastries and hot eggs and cold cuts. Nothing amazing. We had appetizers and a 3 course meal for the Welcome Dinner and our favorite was the Raspberry Panna Cotta. Personally I think my SO could have done a better job with the lemon chicken.
