If you are planning a trip to Venice, you must stay at this magical hotel. From the moment we arrived at the hotel's private canal entrance by water-taxi we began what was a wonderful four night stay at the Palazzo Sant'Angelo. The hotel reception staff welcomed us off our boat in person, shook our hands and assisted in taking our luggage inside. Once at reception we were welcomed again and shown to our amazing room. The whole staff are obviuosly trained to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, from Bobby and Alex the friendly waiters in the bar, to the cleaning staff who leave delicious chocolates on your pillow each night to enjoy on your return from an evening out. We've stayed in a number of five star hotels over the years and this hotel beats them all. This type of personal service can not be found elsewhere. The morning breakfast was great too. As a gay couple we have often found that some hotels tend to be a little less than welcoming to same-sex residents, but this friendly hotel which welcomes all straight and gay couples and families too in the same manner, can not in my view be matched anywhere else in the beautiful city of Venice.

We stayed at this hotel during the carnival in February 2006. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the room was huge! We were upgraded to a room with a view overlooking the grand canal, which was fantastic.
Unfortunately there was some building work going on in the hotel while we were there so the hallways had a strong smell of glue & it was very noisy, but given that the only time we really heard this was when we came back to the hotel to drop off out shopping at lunchtime, it really didn't matter at all. It certainly didn't spoil our stay. Because of the inconvenience, there was no charge for room service - I doubt you'd get that at a UK hotel.
The hotel was lovely and we had a very relaxing break, but Venice itself is a total rip off - it's just a big tourist trap and the food is very average, but very expensive. We did find a couple of excellent restaurants, but both meals cost a fortune, so if anyone is planning to visit Venice, don't be thinking you'll be eating on a budget....

I just got back from Venice and stayed at the Palazo Sant Angelo. The Junior suite was huge by European standards and even very big by US standards. It had an entire sitting area, brand new bathroom with jacuzzi tub and king bed. It was very resaonable.

It is located right between the Rialto and San Marco square. The location is great and it has it's own Valpretto stop on the Grand Canal! Just get on the Valpretto (water bus) for 1/4 the cost of a private water taxi. It is a great little hotel. 14 rooms total and the desk is very helpful. Again, it is the easiest place to find with it's own stop!

Based on TripAdvisor reviews, we booked this hotel for a four-day stay in early December, getting an excellent rate from the hotel's website. Our room, 120, faced onto the Grand Canal and was spacious and beautifully decorated in red and gold color scheme with 19th century style furnishings. Separate closet/dressing room was handy and bathroom was huge...bigger than most hotel rooms! The staff was gracious, spoke excellent English and very helpful for first-time visitors like ourselves. Lamberto patiently answered all our questions, whether about Venetian architecture, the impending high tide or Italian history and politics. A sumptuous breakfast was included in our room rate. Although we were kicking ourselves during the first 3 sunny days of our visit for all the space taken up in our luggage by rubber boots, when the high tide arrived on the morning of the 4th day they made all the difference since water on the sidewalk in front of the hotel was about 8" deep. We would gladly go back to this wonderful hotel and we recommend it highly.
