The hotel staff were honestly the best I have very experienced, they were friendly chatty and supportive with all requests. The hotel's decor was in a traditional style, although very different from what I am used to, making me feel like a proper Venician! The room was really comfortable and the room service was excellent, it was clean and tidy and they gave plenty of amenities. The location was incredible, there were restaurants really close by of good quality and close to St Mark's Square. I would go back, just for the friendliness of the staff alone. I felt really safe by not having to carry a heavy key around with me and having a 24-hour reception.

The biggest problem for me was the water pressure in the room, it had a problem where it would surge during a shower and could sometimes surge with cold water suddenly as a shock. The tap within the bathroom had a similar problem. The room is dated, but I wanted that when I stayed there. As for all Italian hotels, I would introduce a tea and coffee-making facility within the rooms

The location of HC can’t be rivalled - a few minutes walk from St Mark’s Basilica and the piazza, with great restaurants all around, and easy access to water taxis and water busses. The hotel is quirky, as befits a building clearly retro fitted on more than one occasion. The staircase looks like the famous MC Escher painting, and my sons’ room has a mini-staircase leading to the bathroom. But the room has almost all the mod cons you’d expect and the breakfast is great value. My wife and I stayed here 21 years ago and greatly enjoyed our return trip.

Be aware that the is no lift, and if you have any mobility issues, the stairs will be very challenging indeed.

Great location so close to St Marks, restaurants etc but still on a quiet lane- staff were great and room had everything you need - recommend

Excellent location, staff exceptionally helpful. We didn’t have the correct socket adaptors so we were allowed to borrow some from reception. We were also allowed to keep our luggage there after we had checked out as we had a late night flight

Nothing

great location and staff were very friendly and helpful

The room was very dark and the bathroom was very small but this seems to be typical of properties in Venice.

Excellent location. Very good price. Great staff. Room was good, quite small but dont really need to be so big when you stay outside in city most of your time. Even bathroom was clean and nice.

You dont need to book with breakfast, I believe you will get a better breakfast in town. We did not eat breakfast in hotel.

Fantastic location for St Marks and surrounding sights. Very easy to get to Grand Canal. Plenty of good restaurants within 2 minute walk. Breakfast was okay but bettered by nearby restaurants for the same price.

Happened to have family room on third floor and, with no lift, the stairs seemed to go on forever after a long day wandering the streets, especially in 30’+ temperatures. Realising you’d left something in the room when you were already outside became less funny each time!

I liked the human relationship with all the members of the group that the personal of the Castello Hotel have shared with us in particular with me as I'm temporarily disabled and walking with a cane. They help me with my luggage in the way in and the way out. Marino at the reception was subtle, accurate and speak Spanish. Marie-Rose the cleaning lady is a bright sun that brings something very special to the house. I recommend the place. I'il be back God willing.

The phone didn't work.

The room was spacious for three people and it was close to St. Mark’s.

The bathroom was small and the water pressure of the shower was weak.

- location was great; about 300m from San Marco Piazza; there were some restaurants around and even a market, called COOP - staff was nice and friendly; they helped us with some info about vaporetto to Burano/Murano - room was clean

- room was quite small and crowdy; I travelled with my boyfriend; if he wanted to take something from wardrobe I had to stay in bed or bathroom in order to avoid stepping on each other's feet; for him it was hard to fit in shower cabin - bed was actually two single beds combined together, so the "middle" was not comfy at all - no plugs next to bed (charged my smart band in bathroom)
