Hotel Carlton is bang opposite train termini of Venice. As in Venice cars are not allowed, having hotel closed to train station for tourists coming from train is a big plus. Also hotel is on the Grand Canal and very close to motor boat stops. You will enjoy sitting in the verandah outside hotel, sipping wine and having dinner. View... More

This hotel is in a good location just across from the St Lucia train terminal. It is a small walk, but be aware, you have to lug your bags over a bridge that crosses the Grand Canal to reach the hotel. The hotel has a nice lobby; a full breakfast and a bar with lots of seating, some of which... More

We have just returned from spending our honeymoon at this wonderful hotel, the rooms are small but great, breakfast as great and the staff were all very wonderful. We spent the starting of each evening siting outside the hotel overlooking the grand canal and sipping fab mojitos while people watching. Really cannot wait to return!!!!!! More

If you are arriving by train and/or taking a cruise from Venice, (we cruised to the Greek Islands) this is a great place to stay. It is about 200 meters walk, directly across the canal from the train station. We had luggage with wheels and found the walk easy except for carrying the bags up the steps to cross the... More

I can recommend this nice hotel, close to the canal. The staff is friendly and helpful, the location excellent, the room we had elegant with a touch of "old times". More

Lovely hotel, rooms had an air of shabby chic but very in keeping with the area. Spotlessly clean. Staff friendly and very helpful. Great location. Have visited twice now. More

The hotel is on the Grand Canal with easy access to the walking or boating areas of Venice. Check in was easy and the staff are friendly. The room is small, but that is to be expected for Venice. The rooms of the wall are padded and we heard very little noise. Everything worked well and the bed was good.... More
