Monaco & Grand Canal Hotel

Absolutely wonderful. We had a great experience at the Monaco and Grand Canal. Great hotel comparable to a "W Hotel" in the states, with a great location. Try the restaurant - outdoor dining on the canal to match the quality of the hotel.

We loved our recent visit to Venice, and doubt it would have been as enjoyable and memorable had we not stayed at this hotel. It's location on the Grand Canal is absolutely perfect, and the hotel is luxurious, updated in a chic modern style which nicely accents the building's original 17th c. architecture. We checked out the lobbies of other 4/5 star hotels along the Grand Canal and none looked as nice as this hotel; many of them appeared outdated and a bit depressing. Our room was small but very nice, as was the bathroom. Service was... more

We enjoyed this hotel in Venice. The room was on the small side but beautifully decorated and upscale. The lobby is modern (not what I had in mind) but the room was not. Request a king bed if needed. The location was great (within easy walking distance to St Marks). Located right off the Grand Canal and the water taxi stop. I enjoyed breakfast the most because the dining area was on the Canal. Make sure breakfast is included with your room price.

We stepped off the water bus snd were at the front entrance to Hotel Monaco. NIce room overlooking the Grand Canal. Had a great time watching gondalas, ships and other boats from our room. Close to St. Marks Square. It is expensive, but in Venice it is prime property.

The location couldn`t have been more convenient,right at the stop at St.Mark`s directly across from Harry`s bar.Rooms were renovated and modern with marble bathrooms,hair dryer and robes.Complimentary breakfast on the terrace facing the Grand Canal and all the activity was delightful.Also fresh towels were provided twice a day.Excellent dining at night.Probably wouldn`t have chosen this hotel except the internet rates were 50% less than their regular rates.

We loved our stay at this hotel in early June, 2004. It was our honeymoon, so I suppose that helped us get better service. We got an upgrade to a canal view room and free champagne. The room was on the small side, but very clean and the bathroom was also great. The breakfast terrace is very nice and the staff was quite helpful to us. Don't expect a big breakfast, though - just some breads and coffee. You can't beat the location either - it is exactly where you'd want to be in Venice. We had a wonderful time. It can be a bit pricey,... more

I think the hotel was very beautiful and tidy but there was problems with young receptionist. It hink he didn`t know the job so good.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 days from 26 May 2004, in a suite with a canal view. The (first floor) suite was of a high standard, and had wonderful views from the balcony. There was no sign of the building works that travellers earlier in the year had noticed, and the hotel decor is now a most interesting (and spacious) contrast between the ultra modern and traditional styles. Breakfast on the ground floor terrace was an enjoyable experience in itself. We also ate one main meal in the hotel restaurant, which was of a high... more

A hotel with a great location, an excellent restaurant onsite. Well appointed rooms. The concierge desk wasnt the most helpful infact on some occasions was downright rude. However, if its location and a well appointed room you're after, you can ignore the concierge and stay here! We got a great rate on a utell website.

I stayed at hotel Grand Monaco in July 2002 for a week and I although work was being carried out at the time which meant the breakfast veranda was closed, the standard of service, general atmostphere, proximity to San Marco and the quality of the accomodation was all perfect. I ate in restaurent just once for dinner (was out sampling Venice most of time!) and I was most impressed with the food. Quite simply, if you want the glory of Venice on your doorstep and luxury, then you can't go far wrong. Incidentally, the hotel is owned by the... more
