Hotel Bucintoro in Venice

Our first stop in Italy was Venice. The hotel and their staff set a really high bar that no other hotel & staff met while we were in Italy. Stefano at the front desk in the morning and afternoon was amazing and helped us arrange a private water taxi from the airport, to Murano & to the train station after we had issues buying public water taxi tickets. Some of the best service from their staff we have ever received. The rooms were large for the two of us. We had 3 rooms for our party of 6. One room had AC issues and they moved us with no problem. It was an easy walk to St Marks Square and lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel gave us a free tour to Murano & glass blowing demonstration.

Overall wonderful experience. The only downside to this hotel are the size of the rooms. We were traveling in Italy for 3 1/2 weeks so we had several pieces of luggage that made it difficult to move around the room. The view from our room was spectacular and the service was very nice. The best part of this hotel is the front office manager, Stefano Fiore. He's extremely kind, knowledgeable and helpful for whatever you may need for your stay in Venice. Beware of his "free" taxi to the Murano Glass factory :) - it ended up costing us 3,800 € in purchases (obviously our choice & well worth the tour!!!) LOL. But honestly even that was magical, because they also gave us a free taxi to visit Burano! Just exceptional overall- we will definitely stay here again.

If you're expecting a 4⭐️ hotel by other big city standards, this isn't it due to a lack of facilities; pool, bar, terrace etc. But if you want 4⭐️ friendly service, great location, amazing views, then you found the right hotel!

Amazing breakfast selection, though the small breakfast room gets very cramped at peak times.

Rooms are adequate but definitely not roomy, but the views more than make up for any lack of space.

Far enough away from the hustle and bustle to not be bothered by noise, but still only a few minutes walk from many of the tourist spots, and the Vaporetto stops just over the bridge outside.

Handy to be close to Via Garibaldi aswell, where you'll see some authentic Italian life, and have access to a decent selection of bars, restaurants, and shops.

We loved our stay here! Fantastic view from the window was combined with great hospitality of the staff and great breakfast where you can find everything: eggs, bacon, yoghurt, fresh fruits, ham, cheese, croissants, cakes, pancakes and many else.

We loved our stay here. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are decorated beautifully and the beds are comfortable. You are right by a boat station and so what you gain in terms of location you lose in terms of noise.
Breakfast was really good considering it was included.
It’s a bit of a walk to the key tourist attractions but we preferred that. There are lots of nice restaurants and bars just to the right of the hotel too.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing! So glad we chose to book in this hotel after reading all the positive reviews. Superb view from room 302. Room itself was clean, with a comfortable bed, great amenities provided like toiletries and slippers! We were especially grateful for the powerful air conditioning in the room, which was a lifesaver during the mid-August heatwave! Great location too in a quieter area but a short walk to attractions. It was also very convenient to have ferry terminal right in front and can hop on anytime if you have the city pass.

Staff were all very helpful and welcoming. Good breakfast, much wider selection than we expected. There was a breakfast area in the lobby, but we also brought the breakfast to the room to enjoy after selecting from the buffet, or you can probably request for room service. The stay was definitely worth the price, considering the typically high costs in Venice, not every hotel offers this level of service and comfort in similar prices. It's my second visit in Venice, and this stay definitely exceeded my expectation.

What made our stay even more unforgettable was getting engaged in front of the stunning view from the hotel. It was the perfect, romantic setting for such a special moment.

the BEST view over the Grand Canal and the Laguna. room 501 has the best terrassein Venice. small hotel (21 rooms) and friendly team. Our favorite choice !

Feels like a hotel that Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn would check into. Our family of 3 stayed in the ‘suite with lagoon view ‘ - it was elegant, comfortable and had an amazing private terrace with a sweeping view of the lagoon. It was pretty awesome waking up each morning to see a 240 foot super yacht, parked in front of the hotel! Staff was excellent and attentive from the moment we arrived and throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet featured a delicious assortment with huge variety, it was lovely to enjoy it on the large private patio in front of the hotel watching the city come to life.

We loved everything about this hotel. The location was just the right amount of distance from the crowds but close enough to be able to get involved.
The staff were excellent especially Tony, who was super friendly. The room had the most amazing view room 302. It had a bath and a shower. The bed was excellent and also the pillows. We would definitely come back to this hotel. It’s been our favourite so far on our 6 week trip.
