Perfecto location.

Great location. On the canal with direct access to courtyard by water taxi. No dragging luggage through narrow crowded streets. 2 minutes to St Marks Square. 5 minutes to Rialto Bridge and everything you want to see is within a 10 minute walk. Perfecto. Will stay here again in our next trip.

This is a beautiful hotel located on a canal and only a couple of blocks from St. Mark’s square. The staff was personable, my room was very nice and breakfast was wonderful.

I enjoyed our stay, and the location was very convenient to plaza Santa Marco. The only downfall was the bathroom grout had some mold in the shower area. The staff was very nice, and the room was roomy and clean otherwise.

Stayed here for two nights while in Venice. Amazing staff, and very good breakfast. Everyone was so helpful and courteous. The room was clean and the bathroom and shower was also very clean and modern. I would def come back to this hotel. It's situated in the middle of everything and about a 5m walk from the st. Basilica. Busy area with a few restaurants around.
Sammy, 2-night trip

This was my second time at Dona Palace Hotel in Venice Italy and I must say each time I am amazed at how flawlessly managed it is. My room was "home away from home" in every aspect. I love their bed sheets! Grande place and very comfortable in every manner. Thank you for making my visit to Venice so enjoyable.

Fabulous, comfortable stay

Fabulous from entering the foyer, beautiful surroundings. desk staff, helpful and friendly. luggage immediately taken to our room. Our room number 45 was big, bath, two sinks, lots of toiletries. Air conditioning, huge comfortable bed. Breakfast was incredible, again staff attentive and friendly. We have been visiting Venice seven years, best hotel we have been in.
Richard, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice boutique hotel but no real public space. Solely an outdoor terrace on the canal but kind of run down. We took their best room, top floor with balcony and outdoor jacuzzi. The room was nice but the space a little odd. Breakfast food was pretty poor and the dining room not very charming. Service was excellent with staff attentive, friendly, and efficient.
Gregory, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful but hard to find

We had a hard time finding the hotel but it was beautiful and the staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Room was big and gorgeous but we could hear noise outside until 1:30 in the morning. Sounded like people moving metal furniture around and scratching the ground. Water taxi directly from the hotel to airport was amazing.
Tamra, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Imagine a really OLD building that they tried to convert into a hotel. We found the staff to be rude and nosy. The breakfast was cold first thing in the morning. Much to expensive for the hotel. They have a key that weighs 2.5 pounds that you drag around with you.

Look at Your Key Card Closely

The location of the hotel is great! Less than a block to St. Mark's Square and Cathedral. There are plenty of dining options nearby. However, I lost my room key and they were besides themselves because the room number is engraved into the room key card. I have NEVER stayed at a hotel that has the number in the key card. It is a ridiculous practice!
Rick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All the staff operate with a very high level of customer service. My room was comfortable, beautiful and very clean. It's in a fantastic location for restaurants, site seeing and ferries. I like that you drop your key at the desk with them before exiting each time. They not only get to know their guests, but as an individual traveler it felt like another safety check for me 24/7.

Natasha A, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Dona Palace was a great place to stay. I loved having a private dock. Our trains were delayed over 5 hours so, after a long day of travel from Capri it was great to have a water taxi that pulled us right up to the hotel. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the patio was a pleasant place to sit and watch the gondolas go by. Breakfast had a nice variety in a lovely room. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

One minute walk from St. Mark’s Basilica. Relaxing patio on ground level and veranda on 2nd floor. Very quiet. Friendly staff, good breakfast, good drinks in lounge room. Rooms are typically small, well equipped. Clean. Highly recommended. Would stay again.
