The manager of the Bauer is top notch, a plus point as we did have some problems with surly impolite service from the girl at reception and our dirty room. He not only undertook to address the issues but did so in a very charming manner. The young porters were delightfully helpful with my baby grandson and a credit to... more

We couldn't have been happier with the Bauer Hotel. The staff was most helpful in arranging a trip to Murano and transportation to our cruise ship. Sitting outside for breakfast on the Grand Canal was a perfect setting. We inadvertently left something of great value in the hotel room and the staff found it and have made arrangements for it... more

We only stayed at the Bauer for one evening before we left on our cruise but the location was perfect. The room was large and very clean. They also have a computer and free internet service in their lobby for guests. Take advantage of their water taxi service if coming from the airport. It was extremely reasonable. more

Wow! We arrived on a private taxi from the train station, our first trip to Venice proper. What an arrival! From the private dock off the lobby, to the excellent service from the concierge, we were swept away by the romance that is Venezia! Our room didn't have a view, but the accommodations were so outstanding, and while a view... more

We were coming off a Windstar cruise and needed to stay overnight in Venice to catch an early flight the next morning. We chose The Bauer for it's excellent location and we knew a major hotel would be able to get us on a 4:45 am water taxi to the airport. At 360E a night for 2 rooms we were... more

Getting There From the airport turn left out of arrivals and follow the signs for the water taxi (about a 10 minute walk). Take the Alilaguna shuttle boat (blue line) to the San Marco (Giardinetti) stop (13EURO each one-way and you can buy a ticket on the boat for no extra cost). This takes about 1hour 20 minutes. When you... more

Hotel Bauer upgraded us to a very beautiful, modern suite overlooking a gondola filled side canal. Staff was friendly, location fantastic, and the patio on the Grand Canal was a very beautiful spot for an evening cocktail! The wireless internet connection was slightly slow in the lobby, but a very minor detail in an otherwise relaxing, enjoyable 3 day stay.... more

We have just returned from a 4 night intoxicating break at the Bauer and found the Hotel to be absolutely superb. As seasoned travellers throughout the world we enjoy and expect high standards of accommodation and service. We found the Bauer didn't disappoint us. As we had gone to celebrate a special birthday we had chosen carefully our Hotel and... more
