Venice is clearly a ridiculously expensive city so was pleased to find the Hotel Metropole. It is situated close to the main Square but far enough not to be affected by the noise. The interior of the hotel is fantastic, lush and everything you would want and expect from an Italian hotel. The rooms were very nice, each individually decorated.... more

It's been a long time since I went to the Metropole (July last year), but have been to a number of hotels since and none of them have lived up to the magnificent Metropole. A minor booking mix-up over card details was smoothed over by Mr Aurelio Bon with a lovely bottle of Prosecco. The room - junior suite -... more

This is the fith/Sixth time we have stayed at the Metropole, it is in an excellent position and the staff are always very helpfull and welcoming. We were awarded an upgrade on previous occasions but this time we were in one of the smaller rooms at the back but apart from the view the room was fine. We will not... more

We stayed here on our first trip to Venice, in a Junior Suite. We arrived by water taxi and check in was very efficient and welcoming. The hotel is small but not tiny, with lots of beautiful features throughout - great collections of antique fans and art displayed everywhere. They gave us a fruit basket in our room on arrival.... more

I booked a double room and qualified for a promotional upgrade to a Junior Suite. When I checked in with my husband, we were given a wonderful full suite. The service was warm and we were extremely pleased with our experience. more

We tried to book our original room, but the hotel could not work out which it was, but when they heard why, they upgraded us to a room with a lagoon view and... more

We were really prepared to love the Metropole. We had reserved 2 rooms, had requested them to be connecting as we were traveling with our 17 yr old grand daughter. We got non-connecting rooms and non-adjacent on the first floor with no view. The rooms were shabby. the wall paper in my g-daughter's room was torn in places. The night... more

We recently spent four nights in this extremely well run and centrally located hotel. Room 401 has to the one to get as it has a rooftop balcony with views over the lagoon although in March it was a bit chilly to sit out. The hotel is full of antiques which I found a bit overbearing but the facilities were... more

We stayed here for a couple of nights in the middle of a three month tour of Italy and some of Europe. After the disappointments of a few much more expensive hotels this was a joy. The room was excellent with a lovely view over one of the canals down into the Grand canal and the staff were superb -... more
