San Marco Palace sits steps from St. Mark’s Square and offers spacious, apartment‑style rooms with classic decor and a well‑liked breakfast, but furnishings and bedding feel dated, services are mixed, and the maze‑like layout complicates access with luggage.
Several reviews report kitchenettes supplied without utensils, cookware, or a kettle, limiting usefulness. There are recurring comments about seasonal heating or air‑conditioning not working well, plus occasional maintenance problems such as plumbing quirks or faulty fittings. Expect a central, characterful base rather than modern luxury.

Facilities
Facilities are limited; there are elevators but reaching some suites requires multiple corridors and stairs, which can be challenging with luggage or mobility needs. Many appreciated the complimentary boat transfer or tour to a Murano glass factory.

This hotel was all about location and fabulous breakfast. If you are going to stay here, you have to keep in mind that you will be traveling into Venice via water and then uneven ground and bridges with your luggage. The hotel is a labrynth of corridors and steps ... also a challenge with luggage. The room was comfortable enough. There was a kitchen, but no plates, knives or forks ... nothing actually, not even a jug for hot water. The bathroom was fine.

Heat was switched off for the season and it was cold in our room. Uncomfortably cold. Desk staff was just Ok and helped with a water taxi to airport which worked out fine for $140 euros cash. Breakfast was adequate but nothing special. The best was that the hotel provided a free water taxi excursion to Morano for a glass blowing tour. Sales opportunity at the end of course as nothing is “free”. No pressure to buy but strongly encouraged. Over priced compared to shops near the square.

It was a little tricky to locate on the first day because the plaza San Marco floods during hightide mid day so we had to walk around a bit to find the hotel, the suite was roomy and the location was really convenient, the breakfast was delicious and the tour of Murano was interesting.

My only cautionary feedback is that It's a historic higgledy piggledy building and not ideal for Customers with mobility issues even though there are lifts. Otherwise it has the best location, a great breakfast, and comfortable rooms.

Check in was quick & painless once we found the desk. Although we booked San Marco Palace, check in was at Royal San Marco around the corner, which wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have to drag bags over bridges and steps. Although we were early, they kindly stored our bags until our room was ready. I confirmed before booking that the hotel had a lift. However, our room was a walk down the hall, outside, through a keyed external door, up a flight of stairs, 1 floor in a lift, down a long hallway, more stairs, another lift, through another door to outside, walk a few doors outside, into another keyed door, up another flight of stairs to a lift, down a hallway to our room door. Inside the room door, another half flight of stairs down to access the apartment. If our 83 year old mother wasn't with us, it would have been less of an issue but beware, the family suites are nowhere near the lobby or breakfast room. Good: location, spacious apartment, 2bedroom, 2bath, large living room, small kitchen and looked to have been lovely in its day. Bad: Furniture is old and worn, mattresses are thin, worn and uncomfortable. Pillows are flat and only 1 per person provided. Kitchen had only bottles of water in fridge&disposable plastic cups. No cutlery, glasses, plates...nothing. We requested extra pillows & finally tracked down the maid on day 2 & asked her directly. An electric outlet in the master bedroom was falling out of the wall and unsafe. No water taxi access-dragged bags thru

Its official name is Hotel Royal San Marco. Don’t map to San Marco Palace. It’s a great location with balconies overlooking a canal. Grocery next store, and 2 minute walk to St Mark Square. Very comfortable room, but beds are very firm. Only one bathroom, which was tough on American family of four. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast Club runs until 11am, and has eggs, bacon, cold cuts, cereal, rolls, pastries and fruit with large selection of coffees, teas and juices. We didn’t realize, but with our reservation came a free tour to Murano Island. Check out at 11, but free bag storage allowed us to do more sightseeing, and take 10 min walk to Rialto Bridge. Really 4.5 out of 5 because of firm beds. Everything else was great, and super deal for the price!

The property is not a 4 star hotel at all, I would say a 2 stars max. I was given a room with a roll away bed to be able to sleep four people and not a Deluxe suite as I was promised. When I asked to turn the temperature up because the room was cold they told me the heating was not working. The room was not very clean. The location is great, close to most major attractions.

Läget var fantastiskt och likaså vårt familjerum, sen att det är gammalt och slitet hör liksom till. Välstädat inne, dessutom otroligt stort. Ni kan lätt sova 5 personer. Första intrycket av trapphuset var mindre bra, gamla slitna mattor, sopsäckar överallt på varje plan. Frukost mkt bra. Personalen i receptionen borde alla gå på en charmkurs, minst sagt. Inte ett leende. Vi betalade ca 28.000 (4 pers 4 nätter). Förväntade oss kanske lite högre standard. Vi betalade för läget helt enkelt och vi är supernöjda över lag.

Bedroom had no plugs for phone, bed was almost on the floor and the pillows were just the worst. Older bathroom but it was clean. No washcloths provided. Overall, it was good and we loved the location.

Our suite was amazing. I couldn't believe how big it was. The balcony also was huge. The furnishings were not as impressive as the space, but still nicely done and very comfortable. The bathroom also was wonderful with adequate hot water and good water pressure (although I must add that hot water did not work for one evening, but a quick call to the receptionist took care of the problem). Then there was the breakfast buffett, which was plentiful and yummy. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The location was fantastic. Right in the middle of everything and a 5 minute walk from St. Mark's Cathedral. Wonderful restaurants are right outside the hotel door, and lots of great shopping as well. What a find. We'll definitely be back.

First. I travel for a living. I have been to 85 countries. When we arrived late, they did not help us with luggage. I was traveling with a woman who needed help. They said they had four hotels and walked us in the dark up stairs and down stairs, through hallways and alleys expecting us to remember the way. No map to help us find the way. Gave us 3 physical keys attached to a heavy key ring, with three keys and only one of the keys opened any door. Pillows were super flat, when I called to get extra pillows they made us feel like we were burdening them. Breakfast was from 7-11. As soon as it hit 11 they kicked us out The photos on the site are deceiving, it looks amazing in photos. Walls are all scuffed up. The claim to have great views of St Marks Square. Our view was an old man in his whitey tighties. I could say more but, I’m exhausted from the experience. Side note this isn’t my first time to Venice, but my last this hotel. The best part was it was spacious and quiet stay.

The location of the hotel is hidden and its because the actual name is different - no communication of this was provided and it was a nightmare to "find" the hotel while you're hauling your luggages. Bed was uncomfortable but the bad part is you only get one pillow and it the very flat and worn-out pillow! Lastly, after having travelled about 5 other cities in Italy it was very shocking to find a not so friendly front office. You can say Ciao and Buongiorno all you want but they're "too busy" to ever respond. Even though the hotel was beautiful and clean, I am not staying here next time.

I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Venice. It's central, the rooms are clean and the hotel team are helpful and friendly. There is a small shop nearby for essentials, water etc.

There was nothing to like about the Sam Marco. Staff was rude and uninviting our room needed a major facelift. Bed and pillows were disgusting. Would not recommend this hotel.

Great location, right next to San Marco square. There is a grocery store next door with great prices. Stroll the square after dark and get back to room in one minute. One useful tip, you don’t have to take the water bus number 2 to Realto off the train as most people do. Take any water bus to San Zaccaria and avoid the long wait. It is also an easier walk with luggage.

The hotel is less than 5 mins walk to San Marks, very convenient location. Water ferry and water taxi are less than 10 minutes walk. A lot of shops and restaurants and the walk at night next to water was very relaxing.

This hotel was all about location and fabulous breakfast. If you are going to stay here, you have to keep in mind that you will be traveling into Venice via water and then uneven ground and bridges with your luggage. The hotel is a labrynth of corridors and steps ... also a challenge with luggage. The room was comfortable enough. There was a kitchen, but no plates, knives or forks ... nothing actually, not even a jug for hot water. The bathroom was fine.

Our suite was amazing. I couldn't believe how big it was. The balcony also was huge. The furnishings were not as impressive as the space, but still nicely done and very comfortable. The bathroom also was wonderful with adequate hot water and good water pressure (although I must add that hot water did not work for one evening, but a quick call to the receptionist took care of the problem). Then there was the breakfast buffett, which was plentiful and yummy. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The location was fantastic. Right in the middle of everything and a 5 minute walk from St. Mark's Cathedral. Wonderful restaurants are right outside the hotel door, and lots of great shopping as well. What a find. We'll definitely be back.

The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The room was comfortable even more so once we worked the central heating out. Breakfast selection was very good although the "hot" food was barely warm and consisted only of scrambled egg and small pieces of bacon.

The apartment I stayed in was very large. It has a rustic feel with older decor / furniture as described. The breakfast was included and had good selection but was very busy in the mornings. The location was great very close to all the tourist attractions and not too far to walk from the boat with suitcases.

Avoid this unless there is absolutely no other good option available. There was no iron, bedsheets sofa was really bad and I was worried if there are bed bugs or hygienic. Hotel staff are rude. Hair dryer is a joke! Location only is perfect ! That’s the only good thing about this hotel.
