3 Nights In The Heart Of Venice W/Flts

Our stay at Liassidi Palace was perfect!! We arrived a bit early, but the room was ready and it was beyond our expectations. The price for our family of four was fair... no more than one would pay in any city. We chose this hotel on the recommendation of my husband's trusted business colleague who lives in Venice. It was a wise choice. For the reservation... we booked directly through the hotel website. In our travels we have found that is the best because some of the other travel services have been negligent in the past. Our reservation was originally for a smaller room as our son wasn't planning to come to Italy with us. He changed his mind and we phoned to change our reservation. Mr. Daniele was very helpful and was able to make the change. There are two different groups of rooms... and you have to be sure that you are booking for the hotel and not the annex, if that is your preference. The staff were extremely kind and professional throughout our entire stay. They treated my children with great respect (that goes a long way with me) and the staff member who greeted our water taxi, I believe his name was Johnny, was super sweet and helpful. He helped us off the boat and with our luggage. The room was very clean and well appointed... I liked that it was separate from the room where the children were sleeping thus affording us a little break. The weather was unseasonably warm (we were there from end of September into early October) but we opted not to use the air conditioning as there were so many windows. It was lovely to look out over the canal. Breakfast was good and the lady who greeted us every morning was very nice and accommodating. We sat in the little area with the view of the canal. Everything was fresh, the area was impeccably clean, and there was great variety. They even had "American" fare for those who prefer eggs for breakfast rather than an espresso and pastry. The common areas are beautiful and relaxing. The patio area outside is lovely and especially enjoyable on a warm evening. The hotel was quiet despite being fully booked. We didn't hear much noise at all. We did hear a little activity in the canal the one morning which appeared to be public works taking care of refuse. One has to remember that Venice isn't a resort, but a city where people live... and respect that there will be normal sounds of daily life. The location is brilliant... about an 8-minute walk to Piazza San Marco. There is so much to see nearby and the Castello neighbourhood is much quieter than San Marco. The hotel provided some good recommendations for dining and sightseeing. We are going to Venice soon and have booked a stay at this hotel again. We hope to have as wonderful experience as we did the last time. PS To the person who said that the water taxi should have been €70 and was €140... €140 is the correct price and while the water taxi is more expensive than the public transport, it is well worth the experience.

The hotel is clean and the staff fantastic. However the facilities were not so great. The hotel advertised air con but when we got there they told us they only use it in the summer months and suggested we open a window. We did this but the room attracted mosquitoes and we were bit numerous times. We also asked for a fan but were told that there were none available. The hotel bar was only open weekends, this again was not advertised. We had booked a deluxe room but felt that it was not what we would expect from a 4* deluxe. The room was small with a portable TV. The bathroom was large but only a bath and no shower, we queried this and were advised the wash ourselves using the shower hose attached to the bath taps, whilst standing in the bath. As I said earlier the staff are excellent and the hotel is clean. A few alterations to the facilities and I would return.

If I wanted an air bnb I would have booked one! I’m used to Venice, hotels and annexes since I’ve been coming to Venice for 40 years. Unreal. I had to open up three different keys in the hallway in the alleyway and my door as a New Yorker. I think I would’ve been killed by now the room was nice. Several years ago it shows where and tear and the bed is cheap backbreaking the shower leaks over the floor. The door is broken and I have a feeling since the entire neighborhood is boarded up second level above that they really don’t care I emailed them a few weeks ago and never got a response and now I know why, it is sad has come to the state where hotels don’t care. I literally can hear someone coughing in another room and I heard the restaurant below and it’s just not worth the money end of story it said two star not a four star
