Hilton Molino Stucky Venice

What a beautiful property. We loved being outside of Venice. The hotel provided a shuttle to Venice which took about ten minutes. My husband is a diamond member and we were upgraded to a Jr suite which was lovely. Their executive lounge was great as well. The hotel has a wonderful atmosphere and great staff. Should have stayed longer!

Quiet, great staff. Stayed 3 days. A few issues with spelling my name right and HH, but all worked out. Stay was carefree. Room cleaned well at same time each day. Firm bed. Quiet nights. Concierge was great. Pricey but what Hilton isn’t. Recommend highly.

Fantastic hotel and superb service by all their team members. This beautifully restored property is absolutely lovely. The Sky Bar view is divine and the frequent and punctual water shuttle makes the location ideal for those that prefer to reside away from the crowds, but be close enough to enjoy the sites and restaurants easily. The nicest hotel we have stayed in in Italy and probably Europe.

Hilton Molino in Venice is on a more private island side of Venice. It is located on Giudecca, which as it turns out, has a lot of history and the hotel itself used to be a huge flour mill owned by Giovanni Stucky. Apparently they told us that a lot of famous people like to come to this side of Venice since it is a bit more low key and less touristy.
If you get one of the normal rooms, you will notice the weird pattern in the ceiling, which is leftover from the when the mill was around. The upgraded rooms with a room are a must, though. The view of the water and Piazza San Marco is just amazing. If you don’t get a room with a view, you can just go up to the roof top bar and enjoy the view from there.
If you are a gold or diamond member, the exec lounge always has something to nibble on. There is also a free water boat that takes you to Piazza San Marco where all the tourists are. If you are into have a quieter time on another side of Venice, definitely check out this hotel! The alilaguna water boat from the airport does have a drop off right in front of the hotel as well.

This was one of my favorite hotels of all times! We stayed an amazing three days to see Venice, and the hotel not only was beautiful, but the staff made us feel at home like VIPs. The lounge was well taken care of, and the young lady who greeted us was always helpful and wore a welcoming smile. The staff set us up with a fun glass blowing tour of course and plenty of ideas to keep us busy. The shuttle service and set up to get to the airport went flawlessly, and they even helped to set up our room when the beds didn’t work out so well. All in all an A+ five star in my book. I hope to get back here when we finish seeing all the places on our long list of travel!

Very beautiful. Would diffently stay here again. Friend and I did a week vacation seeing as much of Italy as possible. Great Hotel, very friendly, very clean.

This is a beautiful property but out of the main stream in Venice. we stopped for a drink and looked at the bar on the 8^th floor but decided it was too cold and unfriendly looking. We decided on the lobby bar and found it very enjoyable. Excellent bar tenders. Good drinks. But expect to spend about 5x more than the usual prices for things

Clean hotel on quiet Giudecca. They provide a Waterbus to the main island. Spotty wi-​fi, but great common areas and executive lounge

Stayed for 3 nights in October, 2015 and this hotel was the highlight of our 2 week Italy vacation. As a Diamond member, I am partial to Hilton properties and we paid for our stay using Hilton Honors points. That said, I am still critical of service and amenities even though the stay only costs me the room taxes.
Received an upgrade to a King Executive room, with the sitting/​living room area and separate bedroom on a top floor. While the room did not have a city view, I was more than pleased because let’s face it… if you go to Venice only to sit in your room and look out the window, save your money and go someplace else.
The bathroom was a great size with separate bathtub and shower and away from the bedroom, which was a nice touch logistically. The bed was comfortable. It was warm during the day and a challenge to keep the room cool with the A/​C unit there, but we opened the windows to cool it down a bit, which to us, was not a big deal. The in-​room hairdryer did not blow heat, but we had brought one that did.
Service from the rooftop bar and executive lounge staff was attentive.
Our issue would be the shuttle boat drivers were never very friendly or even helped us get on/​off the boats. The hotel boat shuttle schedule went late into the evening, which we found was a blessing after other hotels we stayed out later in our trip stopped shuttle service at 9pm. The concierge staff offered us good directions and vaporetto schedules.
During checkout, I was charged for some minibar items I had not consumed, but when I brought it to the clerk’s attention, they were promptly removed.
One piece of advice for guests arriving by train is to take the 4.1 or 4.2 vaporetto shuttles to get to the stops closest to the hotel. We did not realize this and had some initial difficulties until we learned the layout of the city and the boat transit.
I would definitely book this hotel again if I visited Venice.

Due to family emergency I couldn’t make my trip. I did advanced purchased. Since I’m an honors member and spend thousands a month with them I assumed they would understand the emergency and reimburse me but instead the hotel not headquarters would do anything about it. Needless to say I will be switching hotel chains. Shame on you Hilton.

I spent a couple of days here for a corporate event, and was not disappointed. I find that the Hilton has an underlying efficiency to it that’s consistent across all their properties — less luxurious, more practical, a perfect venue for business trips.
The Molino Stucky is the result of a major refurbishing project, of what used to be a «mulino» (mill) and then a pasta manufacturing plant. Like they did in Budapest on top of the Buda hill, the Hilton has put new life into this impressive complex, towering over every other construction in Venice. Couple that with good service and excellent catering, you’re in for a treat. The only downside is the location itself, since the Giudecca is a bit too far from the main attractions to decide to have a stroll on a whim There’s a water taxi that goes back and forth, but for a family trip I’d recommend something closer to San Marco or the train station.

The actual hotel looks very nice and it is a grand hotel but the service is awful, the buffet breakfast was cold and there was not a lot of variety. I can’t believe they didn’t have an egg station on the buffet site and they said if you wanted to order it would be charged a la carte.
The shuttle times are inconvenient and to get to the other side you have to walk through some dodgy alleyways to get to the back of the hotel where there was a lot of rubbish and dirty towels. There were no signs telling you how to get to the point to take the water bus.
In the rooms, despite being Gold HHonors members they made a fuss about providing slippers and water. I was shocked as we had 2 rooms booked under the one card member’s name as it was my parents in one room and myself in another and yet they said they would only provide the ‘extra’ facilities for the card member and they shouldn’t be acting as though they are doing me a favour! The lady at the HHonors desk said she would send the slippers and water to the card members room only meaning she wouldn’t send me anything! What a load of crap!!! I was shocked, I have never experienced a Hilton hotel where they have given such excuses and terrible customer service. Their executive lounge is a joke to be honest… they hardly have anything to offer.
Taking into consideration the lack of manners, lack of good service and location I would not recommend this hotel and would rather find a hotel on the main island as by the time you factor in hiring a private taxi since the shuttle times are inconvenient this is another added unnecessary cost.
Compared to the Hilton in Milan which we just came from, there they provided us with slippers, chocolate, water in all the rooms for all the family members and their service was wonderful the staff were smiley and the restaurant was delicious too!

When we came the rooms were not ready so we had to leave our luggage with the bell boy. When they were ready we went in but there was no water or slippers. When we went to complain they were very rude and told us that only HHonors members would have water even though we were card holders. They also told us that only certain rooms would get slippers which was very frustrating and there manners were unacceptable. The Hilton we went to in Miami was 4 star but they provided us with water, slippers and had very good manners unlike this ‘5 star’ Hilton.

This is quite a remarkable hotel. It has been here as a hotel for seven years and still seems to be a work in progress. It is a completely retrofitted historic building. It has plenty of amenities and a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Emphasis on quiet. This place is across the water and a special boat ride is required for access. Some may like this, some may not.
There was a lot of construction going on while we were there and access to the room involved a convoluted and lengthy corridor.
The buffet breakfast was as good as any to be found anywhere.
Flying home? A private water taxi to the airport is 120 Euros in cash.
Overall, a nice place.

Everything is breathtakingly beautiful! You can read everyone else’s 5 star reviews, they’re spot on to what I experienced.
word of caution: Don’t order gelato here. You get two very tiny, mediocre scoops in a bowl for $ 11. Go outside to the shops instead!
Aso, wifi is only free in the main lounge, you need to pay for it if you want it in your hotel rooms. –1star for that nonsense

Eigentlich hatten wir im Hilton Stucky Molino auf La Giudecca in Venedig ein Zimmer mit King Size Bett gebucht.
Nachdem uns die schnittige Motojacht vom Flughafen «Marco Polo» direkt vor das Hotel geprescht hat, stehen wir nach dem Einchecken in einem Zimmer mit zwei Queen Size Betten — und reklamieren erst mal! Wir wollen mal ehrlich sein: sooo schlecht ist die Zweier-​Bestückung ja nun auch nicht (normalerweise treffen wir in unseren Hotels sogar nur eines dieser Exemplare an und das geht dann auch), aber wir hatten ja nun mal die Luxus-​Variante geordert.
Das Hotel reagierte umgehend und schickte uns einen «Vierer-​Flight» von Zimmermädchen vorbei, die sofort das Räumen begannen: Nachttisch aus der Mitte raus und Betten zusammengeschoben. Soweit hätten wir das gerade noch selbst gekonnt. Aber das große Kino war, dass die Ladies flugs mit neuer Bettwäsche wiederkamen: über die zusammengeschobenen Betten kam ein King Size Laken, womit die gute alte «Besucherritze» ausgehebelt wurde. Die Krönung war dann allerdings die überdimensionale King Size Bettdecke, die nicht nur die Bettfläche bedeckte, sondern an den Seiten bis auf den Fußboden überhing. Zum Einwickeln! Für ein Gute-​Nacht-​Küsschen waren wir auf dieser Spielwiese fortan immer ganz schön lange unterwegs.
Schon mal schöner Einstieg. Jetzt hatten wir auch endlich Gelegenheit, uns in Ruhe im Zimmer umzusehen — cool. Das Zimmer war tatsächlich sooo groß, dass wir uns zum Fernsehen lieber in die gemütliche Polsterecke flegelten statt von der Bettkante aus zu gucken. Wir hatten mal wieder ein «Sonder» geschossen, was zwar das Frühstück mit einschloss, nicht jedoch Lagunenblick. Immerhin ließ eine breite Fensterfront trotz der Innenhofansicht viel Licht in den Palast.
Wir setzten unsere «Begehung» im Badezimmer fort. Dusche und Wanne saparat, klar; das die Regenwalddusche allerdings gute 2 q² hatte, erstaunte dann doch. Sehr niedlich war das kleine Bänkchen in der Marmorkachelung — hatte schon fast Hamam-​Charakter.
Nachdem wir das Zu Hause der kommenden Tage durchgewunken hatten, testeten wir die Dachterrasse. Schon wieder eine Adresse für meine «Roof-​Top-​Liste». Neben einer ansprechenden Bar mit einem Panoramablick über die Umgebung, war das absolute Highlight die Poolterrasse. Hier verstellte nun definitiv gar nichts mehr die 360 °-Rundsicht. Im Vordergrund schob sich in Schleichfahrt ein Querschnitt aller Kreuzfahrer der Weltmeere zu ihren Liegeplätzen, während im Hintergrund die einzigartige Skyline Venedigs in je nach Tageszeit in unterschiedlichem Licht erstrahlte. Bilderbuchmäßig!
Die Drinks sind fehlerlos, preislich natürlich dem 5 Sterne Haus angemessen. Für uns heißt das dann immer: einen Drink, mal zum Gucken, ansonsten Wein der Gegend auf dem Zimmer. Zudem dieses Hotel eines derjenigen ist, wo man tunlichst das Zimmer, in dem andernorts ‘né ganze Suite untergebracht ist, nicht nur zum Schlafen nutzen sollte. Wir lieben unsere Picknicks vor den Hotel-​TVs dieser Welt!
Dieses Mal brauchten wir zum Frühstück nicht in die nächste Bar gehen, gehörte doch ein Frühstück zum Übernachtungspreis. Und zack — begannen unsere Sightseeing Touren glatt immer ‘né Stunde später als gewöhnlich. So lange braucht’s schon, sich durch das schier unerschöpfliche Angebot des ausladenden Büffets hindurch zu probieren. Derart solide grundversorgt, trauen wir uns, den Magen mit einem feierlichen Gläschen Champagner zu schließen, bevor wir frohgemut die Herausforderung von Venedigs unzähligen Treppen annehmen: der Speck muss ja schließlich wieder runter.
P. S.: Der hoteleigene Schiffs-​Shuttle braust alle halbe Stunde von La Giudecca rüber zum Markus-​Platz.

Great views, great staff, great lobby. Rooms are great and some have great views of Venice.
Need to take shuttle or water bus to get to Venice Sites. Internet is expensive unless you are a high points achiever.
Both rooms we stayed in over a 6 day period had minor maintenance required.
If you are looking to get luxury with minor inconveniences in Venice area, this is the place to go. Highly recommended.

Although the Hilton Molino Hotel itself was very nice, (I mean VERY nice), I refuse to ever stay here again. The scheduled shuttle only left ONCE PER HOUR to San Marco in the morning on the weekdays & Sundays. This really made our itinerary hectic as we were very early to go where we needed to be or very late.
Having the Executive Lounge made the waits more bearable and I can’t even imagine what it would be like without it. Even so, ELounge wasn’t enough to make me want to stay here again.
One time, a group of us arrived 5 minutes early to the Shuttle and it had already left. We asked the bell man if there will be another one coming and he said no and that we would need to wait 65 more minutes for the next one. We all instantly looked very angry and he said «no worries, I will get you guys a cab».
Yes they ate the cost of their mistake but still, I prefer to stay on the main island next time as it seems as though everything we did was based on the times of the Hilton shuttle. It was very annoying.
My categorized ratings don’t justify what I rate the overall convenience, which is a ²⁄₅ star rating.

Das Hilton Venedig liegt mit seinen 379 Zimmern und Suiten auf der Insel Guidecca etwas abseits des grossen venezianischen Touristentrubels, was ich ausdrücklich positiv empfand. Durch einen etwa halbstündig verkehrenden Shuttleservice per Boot ist man jedoch fast jederzeit mobil. Das Hotel selber ist in einen alten Industriebau gebaut und recht geräumig. WLan ist für Gäste frei. Das Publikum ist sehr international und während unserer Anwesenheit zum überwiegenden Teil aus den USA, viele Gäste nutzen offenbar als Ein– oder Ausstiegspunkt einer Kreuzfahrt und da steht bei den Amerikanern das Hilton wohl hoch im Kurs.
Venedig — ein sagenhaftes Ziel. Ruhmreiche Historie, sagenhafte Architektur, keine Autos, viele Menschen, hervorragende Küche und mediterranes Flair ergänzen sich — zu Venedig eben. Mit dem hoteleigenen Shuttleservice ist man über die Wasserstrasse, den Canale Guidecca, schnell bei allen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Man kann sich direkt bis an die Schiavoni in der Nähe des Markusplatzes bringen lassen, aber ich empfehle den Ausstieg beim ersten Stop — Zattere. Hier gelangt man in etwa zwanzig Minuten zu Fuss durch etwas ruhigere Teile der Stadt über den Canale Grande zum Markusplatz und den umliegenden Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, alle Top-​Designer haben eine Dependance in altem Gemäuer. Bootsshuttle zum Airport geht per öffentlichem Nahverkehr in neunzig Minuten (16, – €) oder im privaten Wassertaxi in etwa dreissig Minuten (110, – €).
Der Service ist professionell, wie es eben in einer hochklassigen Kette üblich ist. Beim CheckIn war das gebuchte und bestätigte Zimmer im sechsten Stock nicht frei, was einiges an Diskussionen erforderte. Am nächsten Tag konnten wir dann umziehen in ein Zimmer mit noch herrlicherer Aussicht über den Canale. Der Zimmerservice arbeitete einwandfrei und unauffällig in den Zeiten, in denen die Gäste unterwegs waren. Was merkwürdig ist: Nutzt man den Roomservice, so fällt neben den gehobenen Preisen der angebotenen Speisen und Getränke zusätzlich eine Servicegebühr von 8, – € für das Bringen der Bestellungen an — kreativ muss man denken, wenn man an anderer Leute Geld will.
Es gibt insgesamt sieben Bars und Restaurants, die genutzt werden können. Zwei davon kann ich beurteilen. Das Restaurant Aromi bietet mediterrane Küche mit lokalen Zutaten, gute italienische Küche. Wenn man die Gelegenheit hat am Canale zu sitzen, dann sollte man das tun, mit einwenig Glück zieht ein Kreuzfahrtschiff vorbei, oder man sieht beim Diner einen unvergesslichen Sonnenuntergang. Irgendwie muss man hier Fisch essen — zur Vorspeise vielleicht ein Carpaccio von dreierlei Fisch, ganz frisch und mit ein wenig Zitrone und Olivenöl beträufelt. Zur Hauptspeise kann man den Thunfisch medium in leichter Kräuterkruste empfehlen — hervorragend zubereitet und ebenfalls ganz frisch. Günstig kann so etwas nicht sein und man lässt für einen schönen Abend mit Wein leicht und locker 150, – €.
Bucht man mit dem Zimmer ein Executive Package, dann hat man Loungezugang und kann Snacks, ein abgespecktes Frühstück und Softdrinks (ausser zwischen 17 und 19 Uhr, da gibt es Wein und Bier) erhalten.
35 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel liegt der kleine Pool auf dem Dach des Hotels, umrahmt von rot-​backsteinfarbenen Zinnen und mit einem tollen Blick auf Stadt und das Kreuzfahrtterminal. Die Durchfahrt eines Kreuzfahrers durch die Stadt ist von hier beobachtet ein riesiges Spektakel. Die Flächen um den Pool sind recht klein und man muss an Wochenenden Glück haben eine freie Liege zu finden — und man sollte keine Angst vor Enge kennen. Das ist nichts für mich, an Wochentagen jedoch ist es hier oben herrlich leer und man kann (Sonnen)Baden.
Die Zimmer sind gehobener Hilton Standard, für Italien recht gross und komfortabel. Der Blick aus dem Fenster eines Executive-​Zimmers zu Kanal ist atemberaubend schön und man muss sich eben umstellen, denn die Wasserstrasse gibt eine ganz andere Geräuschkulisse, als eine Strasse. Alles war sauber, Bett hart aber bequem. Das TV braucht man hier wirklich nicht, aber es war flach und gross. Das Bad ist marmorgefliest mit Dusche und Wanne. The place to stay in Venice.

Beautiful building, front desk people are very helpful. I recommend taking their trip to Morano island.
Hotel service is slow, executive lounge is often out of food (free breakfast). Room is very clean and in beautiful condition.

Gayle and I stayed at the Hilton Molino Stucky for 2 nights after we returned from our Norwegian Jade Cruise to Croatia, Athens, and Izmir Turkey and back. Her Sister (Erin) was extremely generous in booking us here on her Hilton Hhonors points. Otherwise, this is easily a $ 400 per night stay and we wouldn’t have had continual access to the associated perks including the separate Lounge with unlimited snacks and drinks.
You can’t miss this place on this end of Giudecca Island. It’s a massive brick Neo-​Gothic structure that presides over the wide canal looking north towards the heart of Venice proper. Within this Complex are the deeply buried ruins of former 19^th Century Convent and Church of St. Biagio and Cataldo, the remains of one of Europe’s largest flour mills (founded by Stucky Giovanni in 1882), where electricity was introduced to Italy, where the first Italian elevators began operation and now where Venice’s largest hotel and convention venue stands. The Flour Mill was abandoned in 1955, rehabilitation of this property began in 1988, with the Hotel opening in 2007. The delay could be partially explained by historical preservation considerations, the Italian way of conducting business and politics, and a fire in 2003.
There were a few things I didn’t particularly enjoy during our stay, including needing to take a boat to get to Venice proper (instead of walking) and my feeling that with all the admirable restoration work and modern accommodations, this Hotel lacked soul. Erin would also tell you that she didn’t appreciate how Front Desk staff so easily let one particularly pushy and chronophage French guest cut in front of her in line and suck up all the air in that part of the room.
On the positive side, the rooms were comfortable, the showers were strong and hot, the Hilton Hhonors Lounge was very nice, the breakfasts were tasty and generous, and with that one exception, hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
Perhaps the biggest bonus or our stay at the Hilton Molino Stucky was walking along parts of Giudecca Island itself. On our last night, we stopped at the 795 Gallery for some artistic enjoyment, paused to listen to some well performed street music, had a wonderful waterside meal at the nearby Ostaria AE Botti, and romantically walked hand-​in-​hand back to the Hotel. For us, it was a perfect farewell (for now) evening in Venice.

If you have been saving up your Hilton Hhonors points, this is the place to spend them! At rates that average around $ 400 U.S. PER NIGHT, this place is far from a bargain. But, it’s an American style, comfortable hotel in Italy.
The hotel itself is located on an island across from the main section of Venice, but the hotel does provide a free shuttle boat. BE SURE TO CHECK THE HOURS OF OPERATION when you arrive or you will be stuck with a very, very pricey private water taxi ride back to your hotel. The shuttle isn’t perfect and it fills up very fast so you may find yourself waiting for an hour to get back to the hotel from the mainland. This was a bit of a pain but we learned to time it right so we’d go at off hours.
The room itself was fine, very spacious and modern with a comfortable American style bathroom (look, after being in Italy and staying and small b&b type inns for a week, it was Heaven to have a big shower and a toilet with a seat)! The room had standard Hilton bedding and amenities (t.v., safe, fluffy towels).
Getting to the hotel from the airport requires a private water taxi unless you want to be stuck on the SLOW vaporetto — the Hilton is just about the last stop when coming from the airport. Getting a vaporetto to the train station was easy and a short walk from the hotel to the dock.
The hotel’s rooftop bar is overhyped but it’s worth a look if you have the time. Service was great and all hotel employees were friendly and welcoming. I’d stay here again, but first I have to build my Hilton Hhonors points back up since I blew them all on a 3 night stay here.

La plus belle ville du monde, donc le plus bel hôtel né dénote pas.
L’hotel est magnifique, avec des services de massage, spa… les petits déj sont au niveau du Hilton, le seul reproche qu’il y a faire, c’est que l’hôtel est assez éloigné de la place San Marco et du venise central.
Il faut prendre un vaporetto spécial qui n’a pas des fréquences extra ordinaire.
Pour finir, la terrasse du dernier étage avec le bar est à faire, même si on né loge pas à l’hôtel…
