Initially, I was a bit disappointed about the location when my group arrived at the hotel. Being at…read morethe terminus of the land bridge to the mainland with the train station nearby and lots of vehicles and parking, I thought, "Oh great, I'm stuck out away from everything cool in Venice." As it turned out, it made me see a broader view of Venice, discover different places and the hotel itself was lovely (with canals, bridges and everything Venice nearby!) During my last visit, I stayed near the Rialto Bridge in a pensione, so this visit was quite a change. And I loved it! The AC Hotel was modern, clean and excellent overall. The room was small, but comfortable, well-designed and quiet. Service was always attentive and exceptional. I utilized the common area a bit and enjoyed the seating, drink selection as well as breakfast and coffee. Overall, I was quite enjoyed my stay and would easily return there on my next visit to Venice. 4.95 stars

When we arrived, we were shown to the room immediately after a brief introduction to the hotel and city. We were offered any advice we needed as well as access to concierge services gratis. The staff was welcoming and friendly as well. It's very comfortable. The room decor was elegant and the bed was wonderful after a long trip. Coffee and a welcome bottle of Prosecco were also waiting for us. The view is really, truly right on the canal. It's fantastic but surprisingly quiet at night, likely due to the excellent windows We took the water taxi to the San Marco Square then walked back and it was about a 30 minute walk with beautiful shops and restaurants almost the entire way. Final note, the breakfast was a very good value with a diverse selection and excellent coffee. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.

The breakfast was fabulous best so far we had in hotels. It was a grand buffet. The luggage storage rooms came handy, and we enjoyed the stay and will definitely consider it again.

It's official! My favorite city so far in Italy was Venice! Despite all the horror stories about…read morethe flooding, I was happy to still have the chance to visit this city while I was in Italy. During my recent stay in Venice, I reserved the Hotel Abbazia as it was one of the best locations near the Santa Lucia Railway Station. Literally, the hotel was 700 ft from the station, down an alleyway as I passed several restaurants; you can't beat the convenience and the price! For a budget hotel, this was a simple and decent stay--the room offers a small flat-screen TV, iron board and hairdryer, mini-refrigerator and air conditioner, and a hard ol' mattress queen bed, not the most comfortable bed but it was doable for the time that I spent there. The only thing it didn't offer was a damn elevator; BOO! Good thing for friends because my homegirl and her boyfriend were able to take my heavy ass suitcase up to the second floor or else a sista' would have been struggling! The hallways to the bedrooms were this sexy red lighting that automatically came on when it sensed any movement. I liked it but I sensed that my friends thought it was pretty creepy. The hotel offers a beautiful elegant dining/bar area with a gorgeous chandelier. This is also where free breakfast is served in the morning. I hear breakfast offered an array of different pastries and fruit. If you have time to eat breakfast, I would give it a shot. Make sure you also check out the back-garden seating area. It's perfect for enjoying your breakfast in the morning or coming out to get some fresh air. The staff during the evening was nice, however, I felt that the gentleman became irritated with me as the bedroom door had slammed shut on me as I was walking my friends out of my bedroom, and it just so happened that I had left my keys in the room. Also, just like similar hotels in Italy, the air conditioners turn off after a certain time, making these rooms stuffy. The only option I had was to open the window; UGH. The rooms are quiet, I couldn't hear my neighbors at all. The bathroom was super small, and the showers were not the best. The water temperature only provided cold water; BOO! You can tell the facility is a little outdated and needs some TLC. Within the area alone, there are varies different restaurants. Once you walk out of the hotel, you are right in front of all the activities. You can take a Water Boat to any side of Venice, or you can do what I did and just walk the whole City as its pretty doable to do in 8 hours. There are also bars all throughout the area, making for a great night. If you are looking for more of a convenient hotel near the station and close to many of the landmarks in Venice, I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are staying for less than 2 nights. P.S-If you are planning to leave your luggage at this hotel as you roam the Venice area, please note that this hotel doesn't lock the door to the luggage room. Make sure you take your valuables with you.

Our suite was very spacious and had a separate parlor. They arranged our airport transfers, gave us recommendations for lunch and dinner, gave us ideas to go sightseeing (been to Venice before). I could not have asked for more. I will say, it's not the easiest to get to from the bus station: 1 people mover, a porter to carry bags over 2 bridges. Might have been easier to get to from train station but, live and learn. The lady who met us at the desk and appeared to be here every minute of the day, Francesca was amazing. I only wish I had the chance to thank her but she was off on Monday. The staff were amazing the hotel impeccable. Will have lasting memories of Venice.

The concierge offered to upgrade our room and im glad we did! our room had that little tiny balcony and it was just marvelous and overlooking the Grand Canal. The room was opulent looking, heavy drapes adorn the balcony windows and accented by antique victorian chairs. Tiny chandeliers hung in the bathroom mirror and of course a big one in our junior suite. There was a tv and a mini bar with tea service and coffee as well. I was regretting not staying another night. I will definitely book again when we come back.

Walking distance from everything you want in Venice. They gave us a free bottle of Bellini when we checked in. Great breakfast buffet right on the water, that was included with our room for being Marriott elite members. This has to be one of the nicest best hotels in Venice. The only somewhat downside is that because this is such a nice hotel, room service and the food options at the hotel are completely overpriced. But that's the case almost everything in Venice from what we saw. If there was some more reasonable food and beverage options at this hotel i would have given it 5 stars

*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.

Absolutely excellent stay at Palazzo Paruta Apartments!…read more The apartment with a terrace was exceptionally clean, and had all our basic needs. It was on a quiet street (the whole area is mostly quiet) and a ~7min walk to the more bustling areas of Venice. We loved it! I would recommend this property & would definitely stay here again! The staff was also super kind and helpful (directions, recommendations, etc). Some other tips: From the airport we took a water taxi for 15€ each and it took 45 min to get the S'Angelo stop which was then a ~7 minute walk to the lobby! Be mindful there are stairs you must walk up & down (like in most of Venice). You can also get to the Santa Lucia train station from the S'Angelo stop in about 35 minutes! Take the 1 line towards Rialto. ask if you need help at the stop, captains were very friendly! Overall, during our 3 day stay we walked pretty much everywhere! I would 100% recommend this property and hope to come again!!

Although the staff did try to prevent this, and gave us a map of the city as well as recommendations. I think the main selling point for me was that with three travelers, we usually needed a queen and an extra bed, and the suite that we booked came with an extra bed in it's own separate little area that had it's own television (although we didn't use it, it was nice that it was there!). Plus, there were extra pillows and covers to make sure everyone was comfortable. Overall, a really lovely stay in Venice.

This place had reasonably good rate compared to others so I booked it with fingers crossed. Very happy with this decision. The hotel is very modern and clean. We arrived very early in the morning but they held our bags for us and delivered them to the room before we got back mid-afternoon. There was cold lemon water in the lobby which was refreshing after walking in the hot weather. The tub was so deep! A bit scary getting in and out -- not good for anyone with mobility issues. Great for soaking! We only stayed a night and didn't try the buffet. Opted for light breakfast at the place a few doors north of the hotel. I had emailed the hotel before our arrival about a restaurant to go to for our anniversary and they responded quickly with a few, each with a paragraph explaining why they recommended it. A day or two before arrival, they asked if I needed anything else like flowers or any other special requests. We did try Casa Bonita across the canal and that was wonderful. Air conditioning was wonderful on the hot and humid day. We liked the quieter neighborhood and proximity to the boat stop. Local travel on the vaparetto and then the Alilaguna to the airport. I forgot to take photos of the interior.
