This is a beautiful boutique hotel located on a canal in Venice. You access the hotel for stepping off your water taxi right onto the front steps of the hotel. It is beautifully appointed, in a very traditional style, which hides the fact that the building has been updated with modern features such as central heating and air-conditioning. There is also has a beautiful terrace right outside of the hotel, which is overlooking the canal. The terrace offers drinks and food service. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were beautifully appointed, with very high quality mattress, bed sheets and pillows. The price of the room included a breakfast, which was spectacular, with an assortment of fresh pastries, fruit, cheese, jams, coffee, ham, sausage, bacon, etc. Highly recommended.

From the moment we arrived we felt special and looked after in this wonderful hotel. Attentive, understated, friendly service and immaculate, well equipped rooms. Stunning location right on the Grand Canal, we loved sitting at breakfast watching the morning action on the canal. We booked the airport water taxi and were so glad we did, we will remember it forever. We also really enjoyed the Murano glass trip - forewarned from other reviews that it is of course a sales pitch we still enjoyed the free water taxi there and the fascinating workshop demonstration. We chose to wander further on Murano and get the vaporetto back ourselves. The terrace over the canal was a very special place for an evening drink.

“Authentic Venice on the Grand Canal”

My wife and I returned to Venice to celebrate both of our 75th birthdays. We chose to stay at Hotel Canal Grande for the second time. In my correspondence with the hotel, I mentioned that we were returning to celebrate. We arrived from the train station late in the evening in the rain. The walk from the station was miserable, but everything changed when we entered the hotel. Although it was 9 years since our previous visit, we were greeted as old friends by Chiara at the front desk. She had taken the time to “remember” all the details of our previous stay and informed us that we were to be upgraded to the same Canal View room that we had in 2015. We were told that this was both recognition of our birthdays and for being a loyal guest. When we got to our room there was also a birthday cake waiting for us. During our stay, Chaira and Anka were at the front desk and did all that they could to make our stay enjoyable. From their help with restaurant recommendation and reservation, to recommendations for transportation options. They even provided help in finding Italian Pokémon cards that were requested by our grandson. They were welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and totally professional. They added greatly to the success of our stay in Venice. The other 5-star reviews for Hotel Canal Grande are all true. This is a terrific place to stay when visiting Venice. It is an authentically Venetian boutique hotel. It is not in the middle of tourist crowds. It is conveniently located across from the train station directly on the Grand Canal with a small dock and deck area. Water taxis can dock directly at the hotel. There are two vaporetto stations located within a 5-minute walk from the hotel. From there you can get anywhere in the main city, or to any of the outer islands. If you choose, it is only a 20-minute walk to San Marco. Within a short distance from the hotel, there are many choices of restaurants, both large ones catering to tourists and small trattorias popular with locals. I highly recommend Hotel Canal Grande. If you stay there, be sure that you take some time and have a glass of prosecco on the dock. Relax and watch the boats go by. It could change your life.

Highly recommend the hotel. From the moment we walked into the hotel's reception we were made so very welcomed. Customer service was fantastic. The staff were so very helpful. The rooms are cozy with venetian charm. Breakfasts were great. The hotel was close to the train station, perfect to get away from the tourists, and about 30 mins stroll to the main sights. A lovely hotel, we will be back.
