Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Aqua Palace enjoys a superb location, allowing easy walks to both the Rialto Bridge and St Mark's Square; some rooms even provide canal views. Many guests find the rooms surprisingly spacious for Venice, especially the junior suites with their beautiful decor and comfortable beds. You can conveniently arrive by water taxi with the hotel having its own mini-port, and some guests have mentioned early morning noise from garbage collection by the canal being a minor inconvenience. The hotel also features a bar, where the skilled bartender prepares awesome cocktails like Bellinis.

We stayed for several nights and loved the proximity to rialto bridge and st mark's square. It was just a short walk away. the hotel provided water taxi service directly to the door. the breakfast selection included fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes. our room was spacious, with beautiful decorations.
The shower temperature was a bit difficult to adjust. It took some time to find a comfortable setting.
