Carnival Palace Hotel

This is a cute boutique hotel but the rooms are pretty small, make sure you are comfortable with your travel mate. Our room had a nice view of a canal but this is not in the main part of Venice. However, venice is pretty small so anywhere we wanted to go wasn’t a terrible walk. This pat of venice is the «old» and more authentic part of Venice with more locals than tourists so it was nice to see that side of things. If you’re looking for more of the picturesque part of Venice you are better off in San Marco or San Polo near the grand canal but I wouldn’t mind staying here again.

Was very fortunate to find the hotel that is not far from the hustle and bustle of the touristy spot and yet have a very calm
and quiet atmosphere. Every morning the staff will have a full on buffet for guest to eat. From bottomless champagne to coffee to juices and tea. A variety of hot and cold entrees and fresh baked croissants that is to die for. Many selection of meat and cheeses. Fruits and yogurt and even cereals and oat meal for us Americans. Literally I didn’t want to leave this great service and stocked buffet. Would return to stay at this hotel whenever we are back in Venice. Such friendly staff and service.

I simply can’t say enough good things about carnival palace. The hotel is located in old venice near the Jewish ghetto. In layman’s terms, you’re in a quiet location away from crazy tourists, but close enough to anywhere as long as you are looking to walk. Right around the corner from our hotel was a super cute park overlooking the ocean; we spent a few evenings here watching the sun go down. This area is clearly a locals spot and it was refreshing taking walks with virtually no one around. There were a few restaurants located near the hotel that were really lovely.
After taking a bus into venice and having to cart our luggage over many bridges and uneven streets, we were excited to be greeted with cold towels upon arrival. Nice touch. As mentioned before, yes, they speak English. Check-​in was fast and friendly, giving us a map and two complimentary glasses of prosecco (which were delicious).
The rooms are absolutely gorgeous; my only complaint was the half enclosed shower which allowed plenty of water to escape and get everywhere. Quite messy. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I loved how many windows our room had. Everytime I was in the room, windows would be open; fresh air and sounds of the city.
The service here was top notch, especially the bartenders. On two separate occasions they brought us snacks they thought would go well with our cocktails, and they went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Breakfast was free and plentiful, also, free mimosas!
WiFi was free and very reliable.
This was hands down my favorite hotel that we stayed in during our europe vacation!

Nice modern hotel right off the canal, we took a water taxi to get here. The front desk staff is helpful. The rooms are pretty big, a family of four can sleep comfortably. There’s a big bath tub my kids love bubble baths. It’s in a convenient location. It has the carnival theme.

Booked carnival palace through tripadvisor recommendation. Here are the positives then why I’ve given them only 3 stars.
Rooms were beautiful albeit almost New York small. We had a fabulous breakfast each day with thoughtful service. Quite a nice stopping point for all of our tourist activities.
A few concerns. Note that the hotel is on the other side of the island from st. Marcos square and thus most of the main attractions. This makes for a very long walk. But also for a more neighborhood feeling.
My main concern is that you’re charged city taxes per person per night collected upon check out. As we we’re rushing to catch a water boat to airport I paid in cash for the fees. Now the front desk man claims he cannot remember any cash that day and has charged my credit card the fees. Now it’s only 30 $ U.S. But the principle of missing cash is my concern. They did issue an invoice on leaving but have misplaced it through travel. Just be aware and don’t pay for anything cash at the hotel. A disappointing end to a lovely treat of a luxury hotel stay in Venice.

Today was my last day here with my family. I had a great stay here at Carnival Palace. The walls were sound proof so almost no sound could be heard. I have to give this a four because of how small the rooms were. Just a heads up. Also the room came with breakfast witch was very good. Other than the small rooms my stay was comfortable. Also some beds are couch beds for family’s.
Suggestions:
–Make more beds with mattresses

I love the modern bathrooms in this hotel, complete with color changing light and rainfall showers, Italian marble flooring and bidet. The beds are comfy and rooms are clean. We got the continental breakfast which was included it was delicious and lots of protein for hungry tourist.
So my only complaint is that it was out of the way, hence one star off. The location is near guglia stop on the water bus aliliguna, with stop very infrequently every 30 minutes. So for us we just walked everywhere instead, it was just faster that way. If walking around is not a problem, Venice is very small anyways, then this hotel is great.

Lovely décor and excellent bathroom. Power shower and modern set up, power points at both sides of bed for charging, decent tv. Breakfast also very good and ongoing to 10:30 which is a bonus.

I really enjoyed this hotel. It was clean and comfortable. The breakfast that is included is incredible with many options. The front desk staff were very nice and accommodating. We were there unfortunately the wifi was not working but they were already working on it the next morning, meanwhile there was an Internet café they were providing free of charge. I would definitely stay here again

Cool design for room and lobby. Furniture, lamps, lighting… everything has a modern chic look and feel. Clean and smells good. Location is a long but good walk for San Marco Square. Wandering the streets of Venice is the best thing anyways. Easy access by water taxi from airport, Only about 30 yards from the taxi drop offf. Good value for the reasonable room price.

Clean and modern. Front desk gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. Free wifi is SOOO convenient. I can’t say enough about the bedding. So comfy and clean and new which is sometimes hard to come by in Italy. I took one star off because it is kinda out of the way.
Breakfast is spectacular. Continental, eggs, hash and bacon, cold meats and cheeses. I don’t drink but they had fresh squeezed orange juice and persecco every morning! This was much more than a continental breakfast.

We recently spent 4 nights here on a tour and were very pleased. The room was spacious, clean, well-​decorated, nice breakfast included and lovely garden area.
Some people in our group wanted to be closer to St. Mark’s, but we enjoyed the quiet, safe area, and loved the walking and exploring around it.
They do need to provide a professional bartender at least after 5… desk staff tried to fill in, not successfully, and they could also provide coffee in the lobby for early risers, our only criticisms.

Carnival Palace is probably one of my favorite hotels so far. Carnival Palace is located along the Grand Canal in Venice, a short walk from the Water Taxi Stop and maybe a ½ mile from the main shopping area. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted by the Front Desk Agent (in English, Thank Goodness!) and she also recommended some great places to have dinner and drinks.
Our room was perfect and very clean! Free wifi and free breakfast was included in the rate. Love it! I will definitely return when I’m back in town!

My friend and I stayed at this hotel in Venice. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating and all the concierge spoke English, which was comforting.
The hotel/​room were clean and the décor was nice. The AC worked great, and we had a delicious complimentary breakfast every morning downstairs in the breakfast room.
A hidden gem in the city.
