Independent, Castello East hotels

"We loved our charming rooms at Splendid. We had two adjoining rooms which was perfect for our family of four with teens. The staff are all super friendly and the location was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again. "

"The water taxi dropped us off right at the front entrance—an incredibly convenient way to arrive. Navigating this route would’ve been tricky if the water level had been too low or too high, especially with all our luggage in tow. While water taxis can be pricey, cruising through Venice along the Grand Canal is a spectacular experience that’s well worth it."

"Excellent all and all!"

"Not a luxurious place,no elevator so it could be hard for elderly or disabled people. Very near the Rialto Mercato ferry station. Very near the Rialto bridge. Very kind and helpful staff. Good breakfast. For its price you can't find something better."

"Great hotel. Would book it again "

"This hotel is in a fantastic location in Venice. Our room had a large and comfortable king sized bed and overlooked a canal with gondolas coming and going! The bathroom was large and all amenities were very clean. It’s located right next to St Mark’s square, a fantastic tourist attraction, where you can find museums and shopping. It’s also located super close to great food and drinks. I will say, don’t expect strong air conditioning (temperatures are high in the summer months), as the entire building stays at a unified temperature. Staff was helpful by providing a fan, but don’t expect to be able to adjust your room temperature. This is pretty common across many hotels in the area, so I would do your research if it’s important to you or go with an air bnb to be sure. "
