Wen we arrived we were told they hadn't received the 2 emails my friend sent we are 2 women in our late 60s with a room each we asked for them to be near each other..they were opposite sides of the hotel my friends room was 62 steep stairs up a floor on its own .a lift to 1st floor but not good if ur on your own and don't like lifts.my room was 30 steps high the room itself had no plugs except the one the big light was plugged into.the hairdryer was like a hoover pipe and difficult to hold as it got so hot. But the worse thing was on 2 occasions I came back to find my room was left unlocked by the cleaners! I did mention this to reception and have since read other reviews and have seen this has happened several times.es before.the water door was a good idea but very very expensive 4 x more than the water bus. The location is perfect tho which is why I presume it's 4

Wonderful staff and very nice lobby. Location in the heart of San Marco area with 5-10 walking distance from S.M. Square and Realto market. If you're getting there from the train station with luggage, be careful to take the waterway to San Marco station rather than Realto. The walk from Realto evolves several bridges and you'll have to carry the luggage a few times.

The room we stayed in wasn't refurbished and you see the furniture wearing out. Air conditioner is turned on and off from the reception (yes you call them to switch on/off, you only control the temp). Luckily we didn't feel the need to use it as the weather was very moderate. Water pressure is funny as it fades in and out every 10 sec or so but you get hot and cold water.

The staff were very pleasant and professional, and they were helpful when we asked questions about the area or needed assistance. And the property itself was well kept and pleasant. However, the room was really small and there was no shower, only a tub with a handheld spray attachment. But there was no shower curtain/glass, so using the sprayer was awkward, trying not to get water on the floor. Just not a good experience with that, but there were no problems with anything else and, again, the staff were great.

You can walk to St.Mark's Basilica Square and the adjacent DOGE palace. It is a bit of walk to from where you land from public water taxi point. This hotel requires you to deposit keys to your room everytime you step out.

Conveniently located, but slightly dated.

Had a lovely stay at the Duodo Palace Hotel for our anniversary. The hotel is conveniently located for easy access to most of the city. My wife and I enjoyed the secluded location, tucked away on a dead end street. The staff, on the whole, was helpful and friendly. (Just one, slightly gruff, waiter at breakfast. I think he may have been a trainee.)

Breakfast was nice and a real plus when wanting to get out into the city streets and not having to worry about finding a place open at an early hour. The food was decent but nothing overly special.

The rooms were clean with plenty of space. The beds, on the other hand, were very uncomfortable. There was no enclosure on the bathtub so taking a shower is a messy proposition, but in keeping with many bathrooms throughout Europe. The hairdryer was very dated, but still served it's purpose.

Overall, the stay was lovely. I'm only sharing these few issues so others can adjust their expectations.

If coming to this hotel, the staff service is exceptional but……… there is a sewer scent when you enter the hotel (not constant but occurs enough). DO NOT book room 607 if you are scared of ghost. We were unable to sleep the entire stay due to activities in the room. The staff never stepped foot inside the room as well. The jacuzzi is inoperable and there’s no standing shower head connections. Iron your clothes in advance as ironing is illegal on the island. The hotel provides this service for a FEE ($7 a shirt). Lastly don’t bother contacting the hotel in advance via email as your message will go unaddressed. You are REQUIRED to leave your room key each and every time you leave the hotel!!!!! Other than the above….Perfect location to reach all tourist destination

The room was spacious and clean. The front facade of the home is being worked on so it is covered in scaffolding and a protective sheathing. This meant that was all we saw out of our window. It was also noisy due to being on the street side and opposite a restaurant. However, overall we would recommend the hotel. Tea, coffee and small pastries and cookies were available at all hours.

The Duodo Palace hotel is ideally situated in Venice, right next to La Fenice, but down a quiet little side street that made it feel so private.

The property is in a convenient location and has a water taxi port which is very convenient. It is also close to the water bus and has many historic and charming areas, such a lovely common room. It was also quiet even though close to San Marco piazza. However, the bed and pillows in our room were hard and the property turns off the air conditioning after the summer. We had to open the window to keep the room cool. This resulted in mosquitos coming into the room. On the first night, we didn’t care as we had been travelling for 26 hours when we arrived, but after that, the hardness of the bed and the mosquitos began to test us. The bathroom was good. I understand that Venice is expensive and that this is a 17th century building, but it didn’t meet my expectations of a 4 star hotel. I expected more comfort for the money we paid.

Two things were not nice: 1) the air conditioner was loud. Since the temperature was ok, we preferred to turn it off, we did not really need it. But if someone stays there in the summer or in the winter they are going to hear an unpleasant background. 2) The bath tub is not great, while doing the shower the water splashes all over the place, no matter how careful we were.

Everything about their help was seamless. The included breakfast was great. They offered everything from fruit, toast, eggs, bacon, cereal, juice, tea and coffee.

The door leaves you almost no room to stand in the bathroom. They do not have a shower, it's a tub that you cannot stand up in, and there is no curtain glass etc.
Also I would not recommend the breakfast. If you need a water taxi plan way ahead, we requested one early and due to traffic on that canals it was 30 minutes late, we had to walk a block to get on and then the driver charged us €10 more that the price the hotel gave.

5 Star staff & service!

We had a lovely room with a balcony and canal view. The shower was difficult because it was just a tub with attached handle to hold to shower off- rather hard one hand shower. More for taking a bath. Our suite had no lift so we had to do some stairs - which was okay. The luggage was brought up for us. The breakfast was good with lots of selections. The service and staff was absolutely fantastic & helpful. The location was a bit of a walk from the Rialto -which was a bit troublesome with luggage- up and down about 3 bridges. But not impossible. They suggested a water taxi but quite expensive from the airport.
