Royal San Marco Hotel

Prós: Highly recommend staying here. Location could not have been more perfect, less than 30 second walk to San Marco square. While not a 7 star luxiourious hotel, it was beautiful when you walk in, rooms were clean and cute with Venician decor and staff was very helpful and kind. For the price, it was everything you want in a hotel and could not have been better with the location. Will recommend this to all of my friends and to avoid the hassle of researching hotels in Venice , just choose this one!

Prós: Great location - 1 bridge over from San Marco Plaza - the heart of whats happening in Venice. Gondolier picked us up right out the side dock and it was close and easy walking to a lot of sights etc. Staff was very kind & helpful. Breakfast can be hectic if you come at high traffic but all in all not bad. A very good value for the money in Venice and location cannot be beat.

Contras: no dislikes - but a heads up. If you arrive by water taxi from airport at high tide, you cannot get across the plaza. The hotel sent a front desk person who helped arrange a porter for our luggage and a circuitous route back to hotel. Confusing at first but became 2nd nature after first day. We had a person in a wheelchair with limited mobility so Venice presents some challenges but location of this hotel and especially when not high tide makes it manageable.
