My husband and I came to Venice for both a get away and business trip. This hotel is perfect for a get away, but was not ideal to a business trip.

Conveniently situated next to Saint Mark's Square the Hotel Concordia offers old world charm with a modern flare. Designer's spared no expense in the details. In fact we saw the Marano glass chandelier in out hotel room for sale in a local shop for 1500 Euros. We also appreciated the knowledgable staff. Their know-how made viewing the city a breeze. Our only regret was that we were not able to have a view of Paizza San Marco from our room.

As we were here for a business trip, we needed a reliable WIFI service. While the Concordia advertises high speed internet, visitors should be aware that this means spotty WIFI service. I do understand we are on an island but to have WIFI in one 2' x 2' corner of our room should not count. We unbelievably had better Concordia WIFI reception in the restaurant behind the hotel than in the lobby, lounge, bar, or restaurant of the Concordia. If we didn't need to check e-mail or communicate via internet the Concordia would be perfect. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

We travel in Europe quite a bit and this was by far the best four star hotel we have visited. Before our arrival, the hotel contacted us and offered to arrange transportation, or make any other reservations needed while in Venice. We asked them to reserve a spot for my son in the Kids Day Program at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. They made the reservation and e-mailed me to confirm before our arrival, which was above and beyond what I expect from a hotel. On to the hotel...We booked the suite overlooking St. Mark's Square and absolutely loved the views! The suite was beautiful and looks like it has been renovated in the last 5 years or so. I was concerned that I would hear noises from the square during the night, but we didn't. The staff came in and closed the shutters as part of their turn down service. Breakfast the next morning was wonderful! Eggs and bacon, cereal, pastries, cheese, yogurt, fruit. Wonderful hotel, helpful staff, and the location can't be beat!

Perfect!! The room was beautiful, we had the top floor with balcony over looking St. Marks square (free upgrade...thank you very much) this is the room you want....better views of Venice only exist from the bell tower. Sitting on the terrace, over looking Venice with a bottle of wine watching the sun set is a memory I will have forever. Hands down the location does not get better. We walked every where and not all of Venice is as beautiful as this area. Breakfast was great, we had fresh coffee and eggs cooked for us. The staff.....so helpful, just lovely and charming. They did recommend the boat ride to us once we initially said no but changed our minds. It was expensive but I'd do it again 100 times over. I loved Venice it was beautiful, my experience was perfect and a lot of that was thanks to hotel Concordia. Thank you. Tommy and Amy. Ps you do hear the bells but they didn't worry us, it all added to the charm and memory.

We had a superb stay at the Hotel Concordia. The location of the hotel was perferct - just a stones throw away from Piazza San Marco. We stayed in a double room with view of the Piazza. The room was warm, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was delightful with a range of cereals, breads, pastries, eggs, bacon etc.. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice to be able to leave our luggage there before we headed off to the airport. The welcome drink was a nice touch too. Without a doubt I would definitely return to this hotel.
