Hotel Carlton On The Grand Canal

The Triple room was nice venetian style cots, windows, a double bed room and a nice single bed room separately give required privacy for 3rd guest. Good storage space. Fantastic location - right on the Grand Canal and in front of the Railway station and the Water taxi station. Good breakfast, clean rooms.

The double bed room bath cubicle was a super slim cube - too cramped to even turn around inside the bath room. Could have been reasonably bigger. Bit too pricy for the rooms and location.

Location! Location! Location! There are a lot of great choices in Venice, but the reason we chose this one was because of the location and it did not disappoint. We wanted to be within a decent walking distance to people mover for our departure day and didn’t want to drag our bags forever. This hotel met that need without a doubt. In addition to this, it was close to the waterbus stop across the canal for getting around Venice and a few tour meeting points near KFC (also just across the canal). The hotel itself is beautiful inside and the rooms are quite cute. The staff is friendly and helpful was well. There is a nice sitting area in front of the hotel to grab a coffee or other drink which was quite convenient. The rooftop bar and restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. Moreover, if you haven’t booked your tours they can assist with this as well. Lastly, breakfast is amazing!

I wish the pillows were a bit more comfy. And I wish there would have been more of a view below…like a fountain or something. But at least we could see the church from the bathroom window. I would definitely recommend staying on the canal side if you can, but the room type may dictate where you stay anyway…and I wish there were more options for those staying with more than 2 people in their party (we are 3). I'd definitely stay again though.

Staff are fantastic

Venice smell present in the toilet. Can’t be avoided.
