Hotel Ai Reali - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

This was honestly one of the best hotel experiences of my life. As a Hyatt member, I almost canceled after the organization ended its affiliation with Small Luxury Hotels, but I’m so glad I didn’t. This is the quintessential Venetian experience, and you will receive 5-star service, guaranteed.

The room is truly exceptional—plush mattress, completely marble en suite, Venetian design elements throughout.

The staff is so kind and helpful. We called ahead because we were arriving late, and the reception turned on our a/c to ensure the room was nice and cool when my partner and me arrived. Then, he helped bring our bags directly to our room. Staff offered plenty of insider tips on sightseeing and shared personal anecdotes about Venetian life during conversation. Hotel management also noticed it was my birthday upon check-in and had a bottle of Prosecco waiting with a handwritten note. So kind!

The included breakfast is wonderful, and the on-site restaurant is astounding! I will be writing a separate review for this, but please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a scrumptious, Michelin-reviewed meal.

Location is perfect. A quick walk to all of the main sights of Venice. Location may be a bit tricky for folks with disabilities, though, as there is one bridge that you must take to get to/from the hotel to the key sights; however, I’m sure the hotel would be happy to offer some advice and tips. Definitely recommend utilizing a private water taxi to/from the airport. If you’re traveling by train, the Rialto vaportetto station is a very quick and easy walk to the hotel, with just one bridge crossing (not bad for Venice!)

I was so sad to leave!!!! Stay here, please! It’ll be a highlight of your trip.

This hotel was our first hotel on a bucket list trip, and we couldn't have been happier. The staff was very helpful when the air didn't work in our first room and promptly moved us to a larger room. The breakfast selection, while small in comparison to some of our other hotels, was very good. We enjoyed the comfort of the bed, and all the amenities at the hotel. (We are sad we can't buy those delicious little fruit candies they have at the front desk here in the States) The staff was very friendly, and the location couldn't have been better for sightseeing in Venice, with it being very close to the Rialto Bridge and the Doge Palace.

We love staying at this boutique hotel in Venice. It's on a quiet area near the major tourist center.
The service is impeccable, the room is clean ans spacious. We even had an outside terrace ,and you can actually hang out there,sip some wine and soak up the sun. The breakfast buffet was also wonderful.
Alesandra from the concierge was very helpful and she even got us a reservation from one of the restaurants during the peak hour of the season.
Wr would definitely go back to this wonderful hotel!

My husband and I just returned from a lovely stay. The rooms are beautiful and everything I was looking for to introduce my husband to this romantic city. I look forward to recommending this hotel to friends living in/ traveling to Europe as it is truly a one of a kind experience. We would absolutely return.

We had a fantastic stay! We stayed here for a few nights while traveling across Europe and could not have asked for a better experience.
The room was spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable. The location is great - it's close to the Rialto bridge and plenty of shopping and dining. The hotel offers a private gondola experience, and also a free water taxi to a glass blowing factory. And most of all, the staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to give an amazing experience for our honeymoon. We had issues with the heating/AC in our room and the staff were very
accommodating and ultimately were able to get us a new room. Stay here when you're in Venezia!

I cannot stress enough how much we would recommend Hotel Ai Reali. My husband and I spent 9 days at the hotel in January 2024

First, the staff is unbelievable. They are beyond accommodating. Any question we had from restaurant recommendations to where to buy dress shoes for my husband to the best ways to get to certain locations- they were more than happy to help.

Let's talk the spa- THE BEST MASSAGE IVE HAD WORLDWIDE. I get massages often and would get in a plane just to have a massage here again. I would 1000% recommend not missing this.

Our room- suite 110. This room is what a girls dreams are made of. It was gorgeously decorated, spacious, had a dressing room, and the bathroom was AMAZING. I also have to commend them on the high end toiletries that were refreshed daily. I'm beyond missing them now that I'm home.

Location- PRIME! It was on a canal so we were able to take a water taxi to and from the airport. We had to walk over one tiny bridge turn right and we were at Rialto Bridge. St. Marks was a 5 minute walk. There was nothing we couldn't walk to within 10 to 15 minutes.

Overall, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Every single person from the manager to the bartender to the front desk staff to the wait staff at breakfast was amazing! This hotel made our trip absolutely perfect!

Good stay, good location, nice service. For Venice, it is probably the best you can get for 4-star hotel and location. Regretted getting canal view because of loud boats starting at 5am; not the hotel’s fault, but a warning.
