Hotel Montecarlo

We stayed in one of the apartments which is just around the corner from the main hotel. Perfect location right by St. Mark's Square. The apartment was clean, well equipped and felt safe. We booked a shared water taxi via the hotel in advance to get from and to the airport. This all ran very smoothly and was a great way to arrive and leave Venice. Reception was open 24hrs and every member of staff we met were very friendly and helpful. We booked the half-day sightseeing tour to Murano, Burano and Torcello at the hotel reception. This was our favourite part of the trip and only cost €25. Highly recommend.

Breakfast was adequate, nice set up. Sufficient choice but limited staff on hand if you wanted something cooked to order.

Our stay at Hotel Montecarlo was very pleasant. We stayed for four nights in January, in the annex building, which is a very short walk from the main hotel. It is important to note that there is no elevator in the annex building (there are two flights of stairs) and that the rooms are quite small, so big luggage is not recommended. As we were travelling light (two small suitcases and two backpacks), we had no issue. The room was always very clean and warm. It was cleaned daily, and the personal hygiene products were also changed daily. The pillows (four available) and mattress were soft and comfortable. There was a mini fridge in the room, with complimentary water bottles. The shower was very good, with great water pressure and hot water available. There was a towel warmer in the bathroom. There is a safe, but we didn't feel the need to use it. Access to the building and to the room was granted through a key card that we got during check-in. The entrance to the annex is next to the back of a restaurant, so there were always people around and dining, which added to the sense of security. The reception at the main hotel is available 24 hours a day. Our booking did not include breakfast, but we could have it for €15 a meal. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of options (fruits, bread, croissant, cheese, ham, pancakes, cheesecake, etc.). The location of the hotel is excellent - a two-minute walk from San Marco Piazza and a nine-minute walk from Rialto Bridge. We highly recommend the annex for those who are travelling light and don't mind a couple flights of stairs. We would definitely love to come back!

The hotel was a few steps away from Piazza San Marco and our room was very quiet and we didn't have the tourist crowds when we walked outside the hotel. Our room widows looked over the rooftops of the Piazza San Marco buildings , very nice . You are also in walking distance to all the other site seeing areas without needing the water bus or water taxi's. The staff were the best and very helpful with anything we needed or to setup reservations.

The location of the hotel is good. Close to many sightseeing places and also close to many well scored restaurants. The room was clean and the staff was very kind and helpful. I have to tell, a hotel close to the train station asked 32€ cradle price for 1 night. Hotel MonteCarlo did not even mention about it. This was the biggest plus for us.
