Foscari Palace

Wonderful location on the Grand Canal, close to vaporetto and traghetto stop. Good breakfast selection. Great rooftop terrace overlooking the Grand Canal. Front desk staff overall very friendly, except for one middle age gentleman. Washroom needs updating. Rust along shower/bath enclosure, faucets mismatched, vanity counter top broken and chipped. Good water pressure and good hot water. Room too warm and unable to turn on air conditioning since the hotel already disengage the air conditioning system. Windows do open but no screens so mosquitos became a problem.

Fint hotell, med alt innen gå avstand. Store fine rom og god service. Helt ok frokost, men veldig leit at takterrassen de har bilde av ikke er åpen. Det var en av grunnen til at vi booket det. Rent og ryddig. Hyggelig personalet og god service

Hotel is really well situated for exploring Venice, close to many restaurants. Next to a water bus stop which makes transfer from railway station very easy. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Unfortunately, the bar was not open throughout our 3 night stay and neither was the roof terrace. It would have been lovely to have been able to relax on the terrace with a drink after a day’s sightseeing but apparently it was closed for renovation.

Hotel had boat dock at side entrance. Take water taxi from train station and tell them hotel name and they bring you right there.

Very friendly staff. Cleaning lady for the rooms was excellent. large variety for breakfast. Was charged an extra 10 euro per little table to sit on the terrace for breakfast which I wasn't told there was a charge until I went to check out.

Nice property close to all major attractions. Property has its own dock so you can go to the airport via boat.

Very accommodating. The only thing I would say negative is that to sit out on the porch on the canal they charge another 10 euro.

The Hotel enjoys a prime location in a charming neighborhood with a beautiful view of the Grand Canal. It's conveniently situated near several vaporetti stops, making it easy to explore Venice. The rooms are spacious. However, the age of the building does show in some areas. The bathroom sink was clogged during our stay, and the shower doors were unstable, occasionally coming off their tracks. The fridge in the room was completely empty, and there were no water bottles or a coffee machine provided, which felt like a missed opportunity for guest comfort. The hotel features a rooftop that offers an incredible view but was abandoned and poorly maintained. In reality, it had a few scattered tables and was clearly not set up for guest use. Service was inconsistent. Some staff members were courteous, others at the reception were noticeably hostile and unwelcoming. The hotel is also understaffed, which may explain the lack of attentiveness. Breakfast was limited and repetitive. On top of that, we were mistakenly charged an extra €20 for having breakfast on the terrace despite never having eaten outside. At checkout, we were given someone else’s bill, and they also added a city tax for our 4-year-old child, which should not have been applied according to local regulations. Given the high room rates, management is relying solely on guest turnover without making any efforts to enhance the guest experience or create a welcoming atmosphere that could enhance the experience.

La struttura si trova in zona centralissima, edificuo storico, zone comuni belli colazione di livello medio alto . I dubbi sono sulla stanza,grande ma poco funzionale, senza set di cortesia ne' un semplice bollitore, il bagno in condizioni pietose,mobiletto di truciolato che cadeva a prezzi e la doccia aggiustata con lo schoch e funzionante male. Onestamente in un hotel di questo livello, il personale non particolarmente gentili, ovviamente hanno evitato di chiedermi nulla sul mio soggiorno

Excellent hotel great location only negative was bar not open

The location is ideal for what you want to do in Venice. The rooms are a good size; however we found a couple of bugs in one of the beds. Not sure what they were.

Dårligt ophold fra start Beskidt på værelset og badeværelset Sort skimmelsvamp på badeværelset Beskidt sengetøj

We found a buy in our bed and when I asked the front for a new room or at the very least new sheets it seemed like I was just inconveniencing her. After some back and forth we were given a new room, but the bug and exchange left a bad taste in our mouths. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

We checked in and everything was great, went to our room and all was good until we unfortunately found bed bugs… we were so disappointed, we notified the staff and they were great. They offered us either a different room on a different level or a stay at their sister hotel. We took the sister hotel and all was good! On a positive note The breakfast was amazing!

We had a terrible experience at this property. I reserved 3 night from 8/16 to 8/19, 2024.You have to take a water bus to reach the hotel. The hotel is nicely located near St Marks with nearby restaurants and shops. But, it's a very old building lacking maintenance. I saw two bed bugs on my bed, and the bugs bite me at night when I was sleeping. The bed bugs are as big as a lady bug. I recorded videos and took pictures of the bugs and showed them to the front desk next morning around 6:30am. The staff and manager are very polite and nice. They offered me refund since we decided to leave the hotel. I regret that I did not read google review of this hotel before booking. There are several complains of bed bugs this year. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone unless you are ok with bed bugs.

I found bed bugs the first night and I haven’t been able to sleep since 2:48 am until morning. The manager came after 7:00 am and was not nice. I just upgraded me and didn’t say anything and I try . Now I have to buy things for the bed bugs and take my shower everyday with it . I have rashes on the back of my neck… At the very least, I should get a refund for the nights spent at this hotel. And even more

Die besten Tage hat das Hotel hinter sich. Im Badezimmer tropfte Wasser aus der Lampe / Decke so dass es einen Kurzschluss gab und wir im dunklen sassen. Der Heizkörper / Klimaanlage war vergammelt und roch unangenehm. Das Frühstück war sehr übersichtlich. Alles im allem keine vier Sterne wert!

Amazing canal views, great breakfast. Traghetto station right next to the hotel, and vaporetto really close by. Water dripping from ceiling onto towels placed on floor, not so good. Staff seemed very laid back about it. "Someone left wet towels in the floor". "Oh yes we'll sort that out". "There are still towels on the floor". "Yes that's because there's a drip from the ceiling".

Notre salle de bain avait des moisissures au plafond et cela donnait une odeur de rance dans toute la chambre La douche tres étroite. Impissible de se doucher sans toucher le mitigeur Bien situé sur le grand canal.

I lliked the location, very convenient, walkable to most attractions. Nice restaurants around. Didn't like the bed bugs. They were everywhere.

Beautiful hotel right on the water. The room had a balcony overlooking the gondolas. Great location. Nice breakfast included. Room was spacious. Great value

perfect room and very big

Rooms need to be renovated. Mirror falling off the wall. Lamps didn’t work. Ac vent was broken. The location is great, but the man at the front desk was rude. He couldn’t even be bothered to say goodbye.

Wonderful location on the Grand Canal, close to vaporetto and traghetto stop. Good breakfast selection. Great rooftop terrace overlooking the Grand Canal. Front desk staff overall very friendly, except for one middle age gentleman. Washroom needs updating. Rust along shower/bath enclosure, faucets mismatched, vanity counter top broken and chipped. Good water pressure and good hot water. Room too warm and unable to turn on air conditioning since the hotel already disengage the air conditioning system. Windows do open but no screens so mosquitos became a problem.

Great location. Large room. Bathroom primitive. In the tiny shower, Not even a dish for a bar of soap or shower gel. Toilet badly stained.

Our Studio Suite had 2 Juliet Balconies overlooking the Grand Canal and Gondola station. The decor was Old World and 550 sq ft. The staff was friendly, served buffet breskfast-it felt like home for a week. Only 23 rooms with good air conditioning. This location as great as you could walk or Vaporetto eithercdirection as it's halfway up the Grand Canal. Highly recommended.

Our room was facing the Grand Canal with two balconies from french doors. The location is halfway up the canal, with a Vaporetto station a block away and Gondola rentals next to the hotel. Good air conditioning and with buffet breakfast included. Value for money-highly recommended.

Great position with roof top views a small Platform with 4 tables over the grand canal was nice. Room we had was quite small but bed was very large a super king size or even bigger was very comfortable.. breakfast could be better very little in the way of warm food not even a toaster. Ask for a coffee as the cofffee machine wasn’t the best..

Room was very spacious nice and clean. The bathtub/shower in the bathroom needs an update. Shower head sprayed water everywhere even when repositioning, so bathroom floor was wet every time after use.

I just completed an “okay” stay at this hotel. There are Pros and Cons to this hotel. The Pros: 1. Location! Location! Location! 2. This hotel is located very close to a water bus stop on the grand canal, making it very easy to get to from the public boat. It is very convenient to walk to the Rialto Bridge and other popular areas in Venice. The Cons: 1. When we walked into the hotel it is very spacious, the lobby is nice, and our room was large and nice. 2. Poor shower design - The first morning of our stay, we realized the shower door does not keep the water in the shower and the entire bathroom was flooding. There is no way to avoid this. When I went downstairs to get towels and ask for assistance they were rude to and told me I needed to be more careful, however there was nothing I could have done different. There was water damage around the sink vanity, rust marks on the floor and floors in the room at the bathroom all had water damage so this is a common issue. 2. The gentleman who works overnight was extremely unhelpful and dishonest. The hotel had arranged a taxi to pick us up at the hotel at 6am to take us to the airport. Due to a flight delay he was supposed to change our taxi time and lied to me that he changed the time when in fact he didn’t. Bottom line about this property is the location is great and service is okay. I rely on reviews when making travel arrangements so I want to help others out with making the best decision for them by sharing my experience.

Having booked a water taxi from the airport to the hotel beforehand and having received confirmation, there was no taxi upon arrival. Water taxi was also booked for a return trip upon checking a day before departure was informed no taxis are available due to the film festival. After letting them know of my disappointment a taxi was arranged however was charged more than what was communicated to me before the trip. This is not a 4 star hotel, it is in need of refurbishment, staff are not particularly helpful. Would not recommend to anyone.

The customer service was terrible. The front desk said that we need to get an extra bed for my 9yr old daughter because the bed is small. I paid $120 for extra bed for 2nights. I saw the bed and it’s California king size which is good size for us. I canceled the extra bed and I asked for a refund and she said I can’t get my money back and I asked why. And she said it’s a no.

I'd like to for sure recognize the afternoon desk attendent for being attentive and kind. I dont have her name, but she jad eastern/asain heritage and was great. Everything else was not. The manager was not kind did not care about our experience. The room was not good or comfortable. We could not increase the heat and the shower soaked the entire bathroom. Would not recommend.

Liked Egyptian evening receptionist. He was extremely helpful and pleasant. Hated fact that during check out at 6am with a train to catch I was informed that city taxes have to be paid in cash. Every other hotel I stayed in Italy accepted the payment with a credit card.

Amazing location close to everything including sea bus which was very convenient. Breakfast was very nice. Rooms are Ok. Breakfast staff were great. One of the front desk guys was completely under the influence of drugs and or alcohol when we came back one night, it was very strange and a bit shocking. Not sure what to make of that. Otherwise excellent stay.

This is a wonderful property in a great area. The breakfast was excellent and the two staff who run the breakfast room were so friendly and helpful as was the maid who did a great job. Lots of great restaurants nearby and a great base to explore Venice. Highly recommended.

Nous avons apprécié l'accès à l'hôtel proche des principaux monuments. A notre départ (au matin) le personnel de la Réception a été particulièrement désagréable (notamment un homme d'une cinquantaine d'année) qui parlait très mal anglais. Nous a demandé en hurlant de payer la taxe de séjour en liquide. Nous étions tout à fait d'accord de payer cette taxe malheureusement nous n'avions de liquide. Une autre Réceptionniste était toute de noir vêtue (de la tête au pieds) avec des tatouages sur les deux mains a participé à cette transaction (a été aussi désagréable) Pour un hôtel qui se dit Palace à revoir (manque de professionnalisme). Nous sommes très déçus et choqués de la manière de s'adresser à ses clients. Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel !

Great hotel and a great location. Staff was helpful, courteous and professional. Their breakfast was a perfect start to our day. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone. Thanks Again and see you next time Foscari!

An excellent hotel. We arrived at 10.00pm. Matteo was amazing. He immediately went and made us a coffee. He was so professional, kind and friendly. The breakfast was incredible. A great choice of food. Again, very professional and friendly staff. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel. A*

Great stay at Foscari Palace. Room was perfect. Larger than expected and quite. Glimpses of the Grand Canal. Perfect location close to Traghetto, ferry stop and all the action.

Short & easy walk from train; close to Rialto Bridge & St Marks. Delicious breakfast! Fantastic rooftop terrace, nice view. Situated along Grand Canal!

Fantastic property in a great location right around corner from Ca D’Or vaparetto stop. Very large room with large bathroom and beautiful decor had fantastic view of the grand canal.

Direkt am Canale Grande Sehr schönes Viertel etwas abseits der grossen Touristenströme ...Traghetto und Vaporetto direkt vor der Tür.

Very nice hotel right on the Grand Canal.

Property was well situated to access the area of venice it was a few steps away from water bus stop.

The location of this property is fantastic.

Nice hotel close to almost everything

This is a very nice hotel to stay in a very local area. The water ferry stop is one block away. It’s a walk under a minute. The location is the lovely local district of Canareggio and dining options there are endless. There is also a Gondola ride service right next to the hotel.

Gondola service was right next to the hotel. Excellent location!

Front desk staff overall very friendly, except for one middle age gentleman. Washroom needs updating. Rust along shower/bath enclosure, faucets mismatched, vanity counter top broken and chipped.

Staff was lovely, easy to get to via shared water taxi, excellent location, nice breakfast, bed was comfortable, everything in bathroom was in working order. Loved that there is a safe in the room. Good cappuccino and assortment of fruit, pastries, cheese and meats for breakfast. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay.

Lovely room with great bed. Excellent breakfast and the staff were helpful, friendly and charming. Will definitely return.

Very friendly staff. Cleaning lady for the rooms was excellent. large variety for breakfast. Was charged an extra 10 euro per little table to sit on the terrace for breakfast which I wasn't told there was a charge until I went to check out.

Large rooms, excellent breakfast!!

Great breakfast. Friendly staff.

Gutes Hotel in sehr guter Lage. Sauber und ordentlich. Receptionistin (junge Dame) extrem unhöflich , unaufmerksam und die ganze Zeit nur am Handy. Frühstück mittelmäßig. Bedienung alle freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unbedingt Frühstück draußen am Tisch celebrieren - kostet aber pro Tag 10€
