Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli e Gran Canal

Hotel

The canal view is amazing. Good atmosphere.

An awesome location, very central location. Massive rooms and good amenities. Highly recommended.

Stayed here for 2 nights during a European trip to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Loved everything about this boutique hotel. The view of the canal was amazing and the amenities are first rate at this hotel. Loved it. Highly recommend staying here as a couple.

A idyllic place with all the amenities and exquisite breakfast.

Great hotel. Very well located. Quiet to rest. Good breakfast buffet. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended. I will definitely be back when I go to sell.

Hotel with crazy charm; Exceptional reception; Staff of a rare kindness and professionalism. One of the most magical stays ever lived.

This hotel is beautiful and conveniently located with great views. Our room in particular overlooked the courtyard which was well manicured and pictures. Where our experience fell short was with the service we received from the front desk and bar staff. The were inattentive and short with us most of the time. The breakfast staff, however was absolutely delightful.

Not even German TV but for that Al Jazzera and Dubai TV.

Great location… breakfast not quite so great.

Very nice hotel. All the staff at the top. Nice location and very clean establishment. Quality price nothing to say. We had a good stay.

Nice hotel and rather luxurious rooms the only small downside is the bathroom in the bathroom.

We stayed here one night while in Venice and it was lovely. The hotel is upscale with the modern charms. It is easy to access the water bus from the hotel. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed here two years ago and we are returning this year. Such a fantastic hotel, great breakfast and close to some outstanding places to eat.

Splendid Hotel in a historic building on the Grand Canal, in San station, a stone's throw from Rialto. Finely furnished rooms, courteous staff. I recommend it.

Friendly staff Nice and quiet setting… vaporeto to 2 steps… breakfast a little just… don't hesitate to stay there.

Top Hotel! Great location for the city tour, made all on foot without vaporettos. Only 2 small in: The waitress who cleans the room while we are at breakfast and nn ending in time continues housekeeping while we are in the room to take the last things before going out for the day; Last day done already checkout we ask for 2 coffee before going out (it was very cold), €6 we never paid them even in St. Mark's Square!

Nice surprise hotel conveniently located 30 seconds from the Vaporetto stop quality home. We had room 210, gr1nde and cozy. Toilet in the bathroom… correct breakfast (Nothing crazy but the main thing is there)

Check-in was smooth and quick. Pleasantly surprised with an upgrade; my room is large, clean, comfortable with a tub that is extra large. Desk staff are consistently friendly and helpful. Breakfast is full, not continental, and includes both hot and cold choices. Breakfast staff are meticulous in keeping selections full and fresh. Location is adjacent to a vaporetto stop, yet quiet and safe. Highly recommend.

Great staff and service. The bar has a Russian-speaking bartender. The rooms are standard, clean. Wi-Fi is free, breakfast is standard, there is also an omelet with sausages, on request make good coffee.

Excellent structure and staff! Friendliness and impeccable service. Breakfast and dedicated staff attentive to every detail. Rich and very varied Buffet. Nothing to complain but only to return!

Service from the staff was not 4 star. In fact there was time when they made it seem like we were an inconvenience to them. The location was ideal and in close walking proximity to the San Marco and Rialto Bridge and market. The Wi-Fi here was awful and made it very difficult to use my phone when there. Breakfast was great along with the breakfast staff. And the rooms were also great. If the service would have been better and the Wi-Fi would have worked at all, this would be a higher rating. And room service stops at 8 I believe, not ideal for those who like to have a late night snack here and there.

We stayed in the Junior Suite for 2 nights passing through on our honeymoon. We loved the decor of our room, and it was a great size, Beautiful bathroom with a tub and separate shower. The room offered little amenities, but we felt the view from all 4 windows (that opened wide) of the Grand Canal was enough. The hotel was very quiet — I don't think I saw maybe more than 2 other guests. The bar is small but nice. Breakfast wasn't great, but the coffee was! It is located near taxi docks and a 4-5 minute walk will bring you to plenty of shops and food.

Nice view and polite and helpful staff… recommended.

Beautiful hotel! We had a superior room overlooking the grand canal, and it is just beautiful. The staff is very friendly and were able to suggest places to eat, and all some English. The breakfast in the morning is also really good, they have pastries, cereal, eggs, ham, etc. And of course coffee. FYI, we're from the US, so the room seemed small at first but the whole city is that way. It was still incredibly comfortable, and I doubt you will find larger anywhere else in Venice.

Very hot rooms Small rooms Not a great service.

Advice for location and courtesy. Great structure not too bad. There is catering.

Nice little hotel with a view of the Grand Canal. Hotel staff are nice and accommodating. Rooms are cozy and well adorned. It's located near the public boats as well as shopping and restaurants.

The hotel is very nicely located, the rooms appealing, very friendly and souvenient staff.
The breakfast was unfortunately absolutely inadequate in this price range. What a pity.

Palace held with great care in all its space. Very nice rooms and very very friendly staff.

The service was impeccable.

Good rehabilitation good service and cleanliness.

Staff friendly and helpful. The room where we stayed is comfortable, nicely decorated and striking: we are in a historic building. Recommended.

Very beautifull hotel in quite a central part of the canal, 10 min walk to realto bridge. Just finding the hotel first time will be a mission, as the roads r very confusing, tip, take the taxi, from the station the 1st time u arrive, its 40 euro, but at least u will find it 1st time round. The go walk around to find ur berings? there after not so bad getting around.

Average hotel, not worth the money. The rooms OK but Breakfast was poor and the Internet (10 Euro per day) and the Internet only works in the lobby. In the room very noisy air conditioning, not allowed to sleep.

We visited in late May of 2013 and it MADE our trip to Venice special. The room on the Grand Canal was beautiful with both modern accents and ancient ceiling beams painted in the 1500's. Seeing the traffic coming and going on the canal each day was a highlight of the trip. All day long the small and larger boats plied their trades below and that gives you the essence of Venice. Can't speak for other rooms that did not have the view, but if you are going to Venice, it is highly recommended as a place to stay. The desk was courteous, helpful and efficient. The room details were immaculate and the breakfast was fitting of a top hotel. All in all, I would go back. Also, note that the vaperetto (water bus) stop is directly next door so if you are carrying baggage, the walk is about 100 feet to the hotel and there is a 'pier' for the smaller water taxi's if you arrive that way. Being off the main tourist route, it is very quite for a place almost in the middle of Venice. Enjoy.

Horrible, horrible customer service. I booked a room and needed an extra bed for our 7 years old daughter. They said it was impossible unless we upgraded to a much more expensive room for €200 extra/night (! ). We then checked their website and found that it was totally incorrect and they most likely just tried to cheat us. We spook to them several times but they refused to cancel the reservation and seemed to lie several times (if you want to give them the benefit of the doubt it might have been caused by the poor English and poorly skilled employees). Perhaps we need to settle the whole situation through Mastercard's fraud department. We decided to book another hotel with decent and honest employees.

FIVE STARS! My wife left her passport in Rome. We were to sail the next day. The staff here bent over backwards to assist us in getting it back. They went way beyond what might be considered reasonable to make calls for us and arrange a courier to get the passport to us in time to board our ship and sail. One of the front desk men even went to pick it up from the courier to be sure we had it in time. Add to this the excellent room and breakfast and a very wonderful and supportive staff and you can understand our 5 star rating.
