Well located for Piazza San Marco but a haul from Train station. Arrived by water taxi ($$) for the full Venetian experience. Our room was in a joined adjacent building which meant no lift and entailed going down two half flights, (duck) up a half flight, up another flight and up a few more stairs - challenging with luggage. View over a canal wasn't as good as hoped for when booking. Room and bathroom was fairly spacious, but big step down into bathroom, slippery shower enclosure and no vent fan in bathroom meant leaving a window open and allowing heat, flies, noise to enter. Adjacent property under construction which added some daytime noise. As mentioned by others, the AC unit fan high above the bed was noisy all the time and intrusive no matter the setting. Couch looked rather worn, and not much clothing storage available. Front desk staff very pleasant, breakfast selection quite good. Value not quite as good as hoped, largely due to the room.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful stay. The staff were fantastic and a special thank you needs to be extended to the young woman on Reception on our final morning. The Grand Canal was closed for a rowing event and there was no means to get to the train station. She helped us to transfer our train tickets and advised us on how to get to the train station on foot. We were very grateful…excellent customer service!! Thank you Duodo Palace and especially the Reception staff x

On the plus side the hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. On the negative side the hotel is 3 stars at best. No tea or coffee facilities or water in the room ( other than the mini bar) , the room was tiny…only 3 metres wide so only 1 side table could fit on one side of the bed and there was nowhere to place your toiletries in the bathroom. On one of the days, the shower was cold. I mentioned it to Marko at the desk and he said “ that would’ve woken you up”. The toilet seat also fell off ( although they did fix it), the small wardrobe was not built in or connected to the wall ( looked like a cheap robe from EBay). There was a worrying large crack across the concrete ceiling. To get to and from the room with our 23 kilo suitcases and hand luggage we had to walk up around 30 steep stairs as the lift only went to the second floor and we were on the third floor. We love holidays but we were basically glad to leave this hotel.
