“Anniversary in Venice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

I was somewhat worried before this holiday, surely this hotel was not as good as the excellent reviews it receives. No need to worry it was a wonderful experience. Prosseco on the house started it off and it just got better.

Good location for exploring. Room was excellent. Breakfast first class. And best of all the staff, very professional and helpful.

I have travelled extensively through Europe, and have never stayed at a better hotel than the Ruzzini.

Room Tip: We stayed in a top floor room overlooking the Square, it was quiet and had a reasonable view.

“Just perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

Venice is unique. Our 3 nights stay at the Ruzzini for our 10th wedding anniversary was just perfect. We brought 2 kids (1y and 3ys) and got a junior suite. Amazing room with a large format painting I woulden't distinguish from the masterpieces in the front door Santa Maria Formosa. The hotel is central and in a quite surrounding at the same time. I don't want to repeat the other customers infos. So I'll just add that there is a relatively big supermarket at 2mn walk (very hard to find in this island). And that the location is amazing as when you go out and turn left you are in the Touristic area (must do one). Piazza St Marco is at 4mn walk. And you can also turn right and you are in the area I would love to live in, quite, classy and full of charm. The service is excellent at the breakfast is gorgious. Kids are very welcome there too.

“Mediocre”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

Stayed here for a weekend. Receptionists rude.

Rooms small. Basically each floor is split into two floors, so the ceilings are low.

There are plenty of good restaurants and cafes around, so you don't have to eat there. Im sure the food would have been ok, but why would you eat in a hotel?

We usually thank all our reviewers for their comments; reading your it becomes difficult to us to understand if we are speaking about the same Ruzzini Palace. You didn’t like the accommodation you had, but we wish to remember you that we are speaking about a XV Century Palace and nothing can be considered “Basically” as you’ve stated. Each accommodation is different from the other, even on the same room category. Moreover, the info given are not correct, because we don’t have a restaurant....why you compare us to the neighbours Restaurants and Café, if we don’t have one at all???

“Amore in Venice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

We stayed at the Ruzzini Palace 12th November 2012 for 3 nights bed & breakfast. The hotels location is perfect for visiting the main sights of Venice a short walk away from St Marks Square and Rialto Bridge.I would definitely recommend this hotel. We prebooked for our arrival a private water taxi which the hotel arranged for us. I must say this was an excellent way to start our holiday and arrive in style at the hotels own landing station. Worth the splurge! The staff at the hotel were very helpful towards us and any question we had. Good choice for breakfast compared to other hotels we've stayed in Italy. Choice ranged from cold meats, pastries, cooked breakfast, fruit, cereals and even Prosecco! We were very lucky to be upgraded by the hotel on arrival to a junior suite with balconies overlooking the canal. A real surprise and treat. The only slight niggle was the firm bed. Some may like this but we found it a little uncomfortable but still managed to sleep after all the walking we did. I would return to the Ruzzini Palace with no hesitation and will be recommending to my customers ( I work in the travel industry ). Thanks again to the hotel for a lovely holiday!!

Dear Guest,
Thanking you for your very nice review, we wish to inform you and all our readers, about the small gripe of the firm bed, if you have told us, we could have placed a softer (between the sheets and the mattress)...may be the next occasion....don’t forget us!
