The location of the Bauer is perfect for a trip to Venice. It has its own small square to the front of the hotel, it has tremendous views of the Grand Canal at the rear, and is only a 5 minute walk from St. Marks Square. We had a fantastic stay - the room was immaculate, and the staff couldn't... more

Our stay was very enjoyable, comfortable and everyone particularly Paolo the Head Concierge and the Bell Staff were very helpful to us. However, please note in order to visit Venice and stay in quality accomodation, given the strength of the € against £ and $, you must expect it will be expensive. We booked a Panoramic Double Room with breakfast... more

There is no denying the fact the room was lovely. We had a drawing room with silk wallpaper and a jacuzzi bath for god's sake! The concierge were snobby and arrogant but the barmen, waitresses and maids were really nice.

We arrived in Venice on the Orient Express from London, and got a water taxi straight to the dock. I couldn't believe it - the doorman was waiting to welcome us with glasses of prosecco whilst our luggage was whisked up to our room. When we were ready we were shown to our room - which was lovely. No Grand... more

Everything in Venice is expensive so put your qualms aside. This hotel is very nice and has the DISTINCT advantage of being in the middle of the most key section, yet being out of the way of the throngs that always seem to be moving through venice. There is something nice about fighting the crowds and then walking down the... more
