Palazzo Rosa Hotel Venice

We stayed 2 nights, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and breakfast in the morning was a nice touch. Travelers should be aware that the "hotel" is at more than one location, all close by. We were a little unsure of how to find the address we were given, and once we arrived, we had to backtrack to the actual location where our rooms were. A little inconvenient, but worth the trouble.

This hotel is well located within easy walking distance to Piazza San Marco and the Rialto bridge is just a few blocks away. I booked this hotel because of the on-line reviews I read, the location, and because of the price. When you arrive at the hotel main entrance door there are two flights of stairs up to the hotel check area. This was not a problem for us, but for someone who has mobility issues it could be a problem. We were checked in quickly and went to our room. It was up another flight of stairs, again it was not a problem for us, but if you have mobility issues it could be a problem. The room we were given was by far the largest of the five hotels we stayed at in Europe. There was a large bedroom with a queen size bed, a second long narrow room with a small kitchen that included a cooktop, sink and refrigerator next to that a table for two or three, a couch, fold away bed, a desk, and a huge bathroom. Everything was neat and orderly but the room was very warm. The windows were open and the two air conditioning units were running but were not blowing cold air. We thought that maybe the room had been closed up for a while and maybe they were just letting in some fresh air. We closed the windows and went out sightseeing. We returned very late and the room was still very hot. We were tired so we just dealt with it. The next morning we told the person at the desk and he said he would call someone to take a look at it. By the time we returned from sightseeing the air conditioning was working perfectly. We really appreciated how quickly this concern was addressed and it shows they really care about their guests. The continental breakfast consisted of a pot of coffee, blood orange juice, a croissant, a roll, packages of cookies, toasts, honey, jams, and jellies. The croissants were incredibly good and the coffee was excellent. We had breakfast in our room twice which really made us feel spoiled. Everyone we encountered at this inn was very friendly

I spent all Saturday and Sunday in Venice, and stayed in Palazzo Rosa at night. I was with three friends. Our room had one double bed and two twins, and a nice spacious bathroom (which was nice despite the violent shower pressure). The location was great, and the facilities were very clean and quiet. The best part was the friendly staff and the terrific breakfast. We checked out at 10:30 Sunday morning, but the staff let us leave our bags in the hotel until we left later that night, which was incredibly convenient. While it was somewhat pricey, I feel as if I got what I paid for.

What a great little hotel, great value for money. Plenty of room for a family of 4.
