Canal Grande - A boutique hotel with Grand Canal views, Venetian-style rooms, and proximity to Santa Lucia train station

Facing the Grand Canal in Campo San Simeon, this 4-star boutique hotel occupies an 18th-century palace with Rococo-style interiors.

Located in Santa Croce district, Canal Grande is an eight-minute walk from Scuola Grande di San Rocco and 25 minutes from St Mark's Square via the Grand Canal. Private water taxis and gondolas can dock directly at the hotel.

Powered by AI
Hotel Canal Grande enjoys an exceptional location, very close to the main train station and with easy access to various ferry stops, making it a convenient base for exploring Venice. Many guests appreciate the beautifully decorated rooms in classic Venetian style, some featuring lovely balconies with views of the Grand Canal, adding a unique touch to breakfast. While some have noted that rooms can be small, particularly those with canal views, the convenience to transport and main attractions like Murano, combined with included breakfast, makes it an excellent choice.

The staff was helpful, especially with directions. I booked a complimentary tour to Murano. It was very enjoyable. I found a sweet, little breakfast buffet. The view of the canal was nice.
The elevator was a bit slow, it caused minor delays.

decent location, some issues

distant buildingunderwhelming breakfast
The hotel stuck me in an annex building a short walk away. it certainly was not what i booked. breakfast was also not a highlight. Limited and, frankly, underwhelming. i expected more from a hotel in this price range. it seems some corners were cut, and the food service suffered for it.

Excellent stay near the train station

strong air conditioningwaterfront deckexpensive transfer
the room had strong air conditioning. the front desk staff helped me with directions. the waterfront deck was nice for boat watching. i enjoyed the smaller size of this quaint hotel.
the transfer arranged by the hotel included a porter. i found this method less picturesque than a water taxi. i also felt it was more expensive.

I found the hotel very close to the train station. A water taxi airport transfer picked me up right from the hotel. The staff was very nice. They gave good recommendations for dinners.
The receptionist was very rude when I arrived at the hotel. She interrupted my speech and said 'hop hop give me your passport'. She treated my wife and me very badly. Our holiday did not go well because of her behavior.

The staff provided excellent restaurant recommendations, i found them helpful. the location offered a great balance. The lively riverfront was accessible, yet the immediate area provided calm.
my room was located on the ground floor, i did not like it. a small window was near the top, my phone reception suffered, and i felt confined, like in a grave.
