This was not my 1st time at Palazzo Abadessa and it surely won't be my last time. I am simply in love with this HistoricalHotel, not too big, not highly touristic, in a great location walking distance to most of Venice attraction including being able to be dropped off by taxi boat from the airport to the hotel front door (high/low water permitting). The rooms are great, the service is impeccable, all staff is super friendly and helpful and works perfectly with or without children (as in romantic enough for couples, and beautiful enough for children to feel at home including the small garden they have not overlooking any super busy street in Venice). We only had one issue during our stay - they had work happening in the hotel which we were not informed by ahead of time (travelling with a 2-year-old this made "nap time" tricky as it was a bit noisy during the day) and we did not have warm water for the same reason and again we were not notified of it ahead of time (in full winter the whole family would have loved a hot bath after full days out in the cold). No apologies were made in this regard which was a bit disappointing. We would have still stayed there, but it would have been helpful to know about the two mentioned issues ahead oftime.…
What a delightful hotel. It is packed with Venetian charm and the staff were exemplary with a most sincere welcome on arrival plus the bonus of an early check-in. The location of Hotel Palazzo Abadessa couldn't be beaten as it is a two minutes' stroll from Ca d' Oro Vaporetta stop and within one minute of leaving the hotel you are in the heart of charming Cannaregio's main street. It is an easy 20 minutes stroll to St. Mark's Square and even less to the Rialto Bridge. The room we were given, 26, was extremely well furbished with material wall coverings, a comfortable bed, historic fireplace and spacious bathroom. My only criticism, and this goes for the whole hotel, is that in our room there was no comfortable arm chair or sofa to relax and the communal areas have period pieces that you cannot use so there is little opportunity to relax. This may well be different in the summer when you can sit in the lovely garden. Breakfast each morning was a treat being simple but all carefully prepared. It consisted of nice continental meats and hand cut cheeses, a good range of fruit and yogurts, hard boiled eggs, delicious croissants and the most delightful coffee I have had in a hotel for many a year. If we return to Venice I would have no hesitation in returning to 'Hotel Palazzo Abadessa' but would ensure I requested a room with a sitting area. Highly recommended!…
My boyfriend and I stayed here in November, and we will definitely stay here if we come to Venice again. The rooms had so much Venetian character and the breakfast was delicious. The staff provided 5 star service, they accommodated our every need and gave great restaurant recommendations. They also upgraded us to a suite free of charge. The location is very central, a 20 minute walk to the train station, close to all attractions and to the ferry to Murano. I would recommend staying here to anyone.
My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Palazzo Abadessa for three nights in October. We took a water taxi right to their dock as we didn't want to drag all our luggage around (you can also get there by public transportation). The hotel is beautiful. The rooms were a good size and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome. It is in a quiet area but you don't have to walk far until you're in the middle of everything. Highly recommend.
This hotel was fantastic value for the money, as it's sparkling clean, is conveniently located, is in a quiet location, has a wonderful buffet breakfast (and an afternoon tea, which we weren't able to make) included, and amazing staff, who were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. While our room was a bit small and on the dark side, we didn't spend much time there except to sleep, so this wasn't a factor. The bed was very comfortable and fortunately the mattress and bedding were very nice and not of the same age as the hotel itself. The bathroom had good water pressure and a bathtub and shower. I would highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again! Thank you to the staff for helping make our stay in Venice so memorable.
