Marconi - Venice

Getting to the hotel from the train station was so easy. It was my first visit to Venice and I found the hotel without asking or getting lost. As you get off the vaporetto at the Rialto stop, the hotel is just across the canal. The hotel is located in a very lovely and busy area. The rest next door is perfect for the experience of people watching and the view of the canal, but the food was not great and very expensive. From the hotel to Plaza San Marcos it is a short stroll and very interesting with lots to see on the way. Would recommend but next time in Venice I would stay some where else just as charming but not as expensive.

We loved this hotel because of its location- it's right next to the Rialto Bridge! The staff was very helpful, the breakfast was good, and the room was sufficient. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I stayed at this hotel after traveling to other parts of Italy. We enjoyed the ambiance of the hotel and its old world charm. It is right on the canal next to the Rialto Bridge. It is an easy walk across the bridge to the taxi stop. They also offer a free trip to Murano for a glass blowing demonstration. Perhaps the best part of the hotel is the chairs they have out front that are available to sit and people watch throughout the day. Plus, the restaurants next to the hotel are wonderful. The only downside to this hotel is its layout. Most rooms are away from the only exit. The rooms are centered around a center stairwell and with the lack of insulation in the walls, you hear everyone walking up and down the stairs.

older hotel but well maintained with a charming ambiance. right on the grand canal. loved it!

arrived to Hotel after making our way from disembarkation off the Princess cruiseline only to be told by front desk clerk that "they had no rooms" for us or the other couple just ahead of us; he wanted us to "take a room at one of their other Hotels" located in center town (this hotel is right off the Grand canal at the Rialto bridge - a wonderful location!!); the other Hotel had no A/c; we had both prepaid in America and he really did not care; we argued and stood firm that we would not go to another Hotel and we wanted our rooms we had paid for!!! finally he gave the 1st couple a room; but told us he only had a room for our 1st nite that sleep a single but he'd add a bed but it would be VERY small and it was !! we had to crawl over our siutcases and beds to get to the bathroom; but the next day we did get a larger room as he'd promised! I LOVED the location; it was close to catch the valperrto water taxis; close to great foods, lots of night life and shopping; we even walked to and from St. mark's square by just following the crowds of people and it was only about 10 mins from our hotel; the Hotel is older but A/c is good, brkfst was good, and front desk was good to have, and spoke english!

All the hotels I've looked at in Venice were very expensive and this one came up inexpensive. For the price the hotel was great. The only issue is that the walls are thin so you can hear people at night if they are loud, but I could always put ear plugs in! The location couldn't be beat! A++++

I was very satisfied with this hotel. Location is perfect and the service is outstanding. Complimentary breakfast was better than any other place we stayed in Italy. I will definitely stay there again and I already recommended it to my brother who is staying there next month.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They took the time to talk to us about our cultural differences which made us much more comfortable interacting with the local people during our stay. The Staff took great care of us. Only downside - I don't think the Hotel Management gets along very well with the Restaurants on either side, which is understandable due to the excessive early morning noise made by the restaurants.

Great hotel, nice location

Our room was large and comfortable. The Hotel is located on the grand canal near the Rialto bridge. The staff spoke excellent English and gave great recommendations on things to see and do as well as restaurants. The breakfast which was included in the price was served in a charming breakfast room and had great variety and was quite tasty.

lovely location, you walk out the front door and the Rialto bridge is just to your left. I stayed in Venice during the weekend of the Festa del Redentore and the helpful concierge gave me lots of information about the best place to see the fireworks (go to Lido, San Marco Square is way too crowded!) This was a comfortable and charming hotel - and by charming I mean that the room was quite small for the rate I paid, but that's what you get when you book a room for one of the biggest festivals in town. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends & stay here again.

best location in venice for sure, helpful staff, typical venetian roon, fairly clean and cozy, find restaurants on your own, dont ask hotel

location was great,rooms were clean.Staff really helped us out.Transportation was on the other side from Realtio bridge.For the money it was great.The only time we used the room,was for sleeping.Breakfast was more then we expected,bacon eggs and lots of pastry and fruit.

The Hotel Marconi is ideally located just south of the Rialto bridge. The hotel is clean, well furnished and well run. The concierge were extremely helpful with tips and information. We ate at the Trattoria Paradiso minutes from the hotel, which was bellissimo!. Wander around Venice and you will find many small cafes and restaurant very reasonably priced. We had a great time.

Friendly, helpful and English speaking reception. The room was very nice, I had heard the rooms were small, but ours was fine. Ideal location right beside the Rialto Bridge with cafes and restaurants right outside looking over the Grand Canal. Would definitely recommend it.

Our holiday to Venice was greatly complimented by our hotel, with its wonderful Venetian feel and impressive hospitality. We arrived and had to wait half an hour, as there was a problem with getting our room ready, however, we were given a larger room, which was pleasing! There are no lifts in the hotel but the hotel staff will take your bags. The concierge was so helpful, he directed us to a great student bar area (around Accademia area) and also arranged for us to go to Murano (where all the glass factories are) - for free! I'm not sure if the way back was free because we bought something, but we took the waterbus back right around the Laguna. The bathroom was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room to spread out, we also appreciated the safe and the tv, in the room. The breakfast room was cosy, with cooked and continental food. For us, a great features is its location. It is on the grand canal, which means from Piazza le Roma (bus station), you can just hop on the waterbus and in a short while you're there. It is on the other side of the beautiful Rialto Bridge - a little mission in itself with the luggage. Piazza San Marco is a lot closer than it looks on the map, so you must walk everywhere to see the beauty of Venice! (And the Marconi is a perfect starting place).

the best thing this hotel has going for it is its location, you are very central to see all of venice. we did not have much dealing with the staff, they push a free taxi to the glass factory but they do not tell you that you will have to pay for the taxi back and while you are there they put pressure on you to buy someting, the hotel was very clean and the breakfast was very good, plenty of food and a good selection. all in all a good place to see venice from.

All three shifts at hotel were great. The night shift got us up for our 4:45 AM water taxi. The location was right on the grand canal right next to the Rialto bridge. No doubt, we would stay there again. My only complaint would be the very small room, but would not prevent me from a repeat stay. PS: the staff spoke very good english. They also gave us great advise to maximize our only one full day in Venice!!.

When we checked in, the hotel staff knew we had booked our stay with hotels.com and paid significantly less than other patrons. They took us to our room which was one of only two rooms that had a different entrance than the main hotel. The other rooms in the hotel looked very nice, although we were not allowed to stay in one. The hotel staff however was great for recommending different places and experiences around Venice and even had a complimentary boat ride to Murano.

This hotel is centrally located -- within easy walking distance of everywhere in Venice. Plus one quick trip over a bridge from the water taxi stop. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The room is fine - consistant with a very old building. As for food, though tempting, do not eat at the restaurants right outside the hotel located on the Grand Canal. Way overpriced, mediocre food. The hotel staff warned us but we got thought we would try. Instead, go around the corner to trattoria -- great food, good prices.

location was the only positive this place has to offer.

The Hotel Marconi is right next to the Rialto Bridge, lots of places to eat, quite expensive but worth it.

only small issue was noise in alley next to hotel. But I think same issue at most hotels right on Grand Canal

The hotel is in a great location..you can take the water taxi right from the train station. The room was fine, but ours was on the first floor and the window (which was stained glass so you couldn't see in) wouldn't open. Good breakfast and helpful staff.

the hotel was in a great location, just steps away from the rialto bridge. you can walk to san marco in about 10 minutes (if you don't get lost!). we flew into treviso on ryanair and then took the ryanair atvo bus into venice. i would highly recommend doing this. the bus only cost 9 euros return and it drops you off at piazalle roma, which is about a 10-15 minute walk to the hotel. the hotel had a good breakfast, clean rooms and friendly staff. i would stay there again for sure.

Very clean! Excellent service, friendly staff that speak English. Perfect location, just over the Rialto Bridge. Very nice size room w/great shower.

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff. I would certainly revisit.

Great location - right on the Grand Canal, overlooking the Rialto Bridge, however it doesn't mean your room will. Be prepared to carry your luggage over the steps of the Rialto bridge and in the hotel (no elevator), although the hotel staff will help you. Watch out for the restaurants downstairs. They will ask you to come in. Looks are deceiving. Because of the location they look romantic but the food is not great. Trattoria Alla Madonna - restaurant around the corner from the hotel is worth checking out!

The Marconi hotel is located in an excellent position adjacent to to the Rialto Bridge and is therefore very easy to find (a bonus not to be underestimated in Venice). The hotel initially looks a bit 'shabby' compared to hotels in more modern locations, however if one considers its setting, then it is totally in keeping with the general atmosphere of this wonderful city. Our room was very 'venitian olde worlde', but with a modern (small) bathroom. The room was cleaned every day. The Staff were always polite and helpful, and the continental breakfast was excellent. I would definitely go back.

Adequate tourist hotel at a moderate [price. Well located but minimalist in facilities. (e.g. no elevator)

The staff was friendly, the room was comfortable, the location was excellent, the breakfast was great, but look out... the construction in Venice begins promptly at 7:30AM. So, take your earplugs if you want to sleep in. Overall, I reccommend this hotel.

The room was small but clean, very functional for a short trip. The breakfast was standard fare, pastries, eggs, juices, etc., but tasty. My only issue is that the front desk staff was a bit pushy with their recommendations for dining, shows, water taxis, etc., making it seem as though they were likely to be getting some kind of kick backs from the third party. But, otherwise a great place!

För vår korta vistelse 2 dygn innan kryssning var det ett centralt och bra läge att utforska staden både till fots och båtledes.Bra matställen nära hotellet.

Precis lagom hotell med bra läge, underbar frukost och mitt i händelsernas centrum.

Tutto OK consigliatissimo, camera confortevole arredata in stile, molto pulito, colazione abbondante, in centro città a due passi da p.zza S. Marco.

Nice hotel and easy to find. Just next to Rialto

Bien. Hotel très bien situé, on peut '(presque) tout visiter à pied. Chambres très propres, seul bémol un peu bruyant le matin.

Dejligt hotel

excellent rapport qualité prix

Hyggelig hotell ved Rialto-broen i hjertet av Venezia. Høy servicekvalitet. Delvis små rom, så sjekk dette før bestilling.

Kalasläge! Bra service! Riklig frukost!

Hôtel très bien tenu, petit déjeuner très correct ,personnel sympathique, bon emplacement géographique, tous les ingrédients sont là pour un bon séjour à Venice.

Très bien situé, idéeal pour tout visiter, bref que du bon ... !!!

Zu Karnevalsbeginn war natürlich auch das Hotel Marconi überbucht. Man quartierte uns eine Nacht in einer Abstellkammer mit Bett ein, wo die Tür zum Bad gerade mal 20cm weit aufging. Eine dicke Person hätte nicht ins Bad gekonnt. Dafür bekamen wir die zweite Nacht ein Zimmer mit Blick auf die Rialto-Brücke und den Canale Grande und eine Flasche Sekt! Alles in allem war man sehr bemüht. Super Lage, Persoal freundlich, Frühstücksraum ohne Fenster und muffig, aber Angebot an Speisen gut. Zwei Wiener

Das Marconi ist traumhaft auf der ruhigen Seite von Rialto gelegen. Es ist behaglich, überschaubar und äußerst angenehm. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, Service und Zimmerqualität ebenfalls. Wir haben vor einigen jahren schon im Marconi gewohnt - die gute Erinnerung hat sich bestätigt. Wenn wir wieder nach venedig komen, wisssen wir, wo wir wohnen wollen.

Verblijf in het Hotel was geweldig en het personeel heeft altijd goed geholpen. De kamer was stil en heel erg donker dus we konden goed slapen. Ligging nabij de Rialto brug is echt top. Alles op het hoofd eiland is goed te belopen. Het ontbijt was goed georganiseerd en erg uitgebreid. Echt een aanrader!

Gut gelegenes Hotel, direkt an der Rialtobrücke, kein Komfort. Frühstück gut, Zimmer einfach, Fernseher Miniaturausgabe. Sehr hellhörig man hat das Gefühl die Wände bestünden aus Pappe. Eignet sich nur zum Schlafen.
