Palazzo Marcello Hotel Al Sole

A wonderful hotel. Excellent location, with the option to leave your car nearby (in a special garage 400-600 meters away). It is 1.2 km to St. Mark's Square. You can also take a vaporetto along the canal. The hotel is clean, and the breakfasts are good. In my opinion, the hotel deserves 4 stars, I recommend it.

The convenience of this hotel was the main reason we chose it - it's a 5 minute walk from the bus station in Venice, which is how we arrived from the airport, and just a little longer to walk to the train station, which is how we left. You have to cross a few bridges with suitcases, but generally super easy. From the hotel on foot, you can walk anywhere or 4 minutes to the nearest vaporetto. The breakfast was quite good, but they also keep their bar and a la carte food bar open late, which was perfect for us one night we got back late and didn't feel like looking for a restaurant. We were able to order some very reasonably priced food and drinks at 9pm and sit in the quiet and beautiful courtyard. The room was very large and comfortable. They held our bags all day the day we checked out for no extra charge.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Venice! The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, which made for a very comfortable experience. Breakfast was included in the room rate and exceeded expectations—fresh, tasty, and the perfect start to the day. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and local tips. One of the highlights was the bar's terrace—stylish, cozy, and full of atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind in the evenings. The location couldn’t be better—close to major attractions but still peaceful enough to relax. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to return someday!

Hotel was of a very high standard, easily accessible with a lift to the room. Great views over the canals if you have a canal view room. Room decoration itself showed its age but was in keeping with the hotel and honestly does not detract from the quality of the hotel room as it is still done to a very high specification. Bathroom was excellent although shower ceiling was a little low. Breakfast in the courtyard was a lovely start to the day and the hotel is well located to get to a good selection of attractions. We stayed in this hotel for one side of the island and went to another hotel on the other side of the island so we could explore all of Venice.

Location. Close to train station. Beautiful view from apartment overlooking canal. Staff lovely and helpful especially Eelena. Great breakfast
