Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Aqua Palace from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Aqua Palace enjoys a prime location, putting guests within easy reach of both San Marco Square and the Rialto Bridge; many find it's a pleasant 10-20 minute walk to either. Arriving by water taxi is a popular choice, thanks to the hotel's own canal entrance. While most rooms are spacious and well-appointed, some guests have noted that canal views from certain rooms require leaning out the window. The suite options offer ample space and comfort and breakfast is convenient.

close shopping helpful staff american-style breakfast money refund hotel closure
The hotel is very close to the Rialto bridge and St Mark's Square. There is also shopping nearby as well as many restaurants. The hotel offers breakfast for 15.00 Euro. It's worth it if you like an American-style first meal with eggs. The staff were friendly and helpful. They assisted me with all my questions.
I cannot leave a review about the actual hotel itself. They then refused to refund the money. This was VERY frustrating. I had checked online and they still allowed me to book rooms I would never stay in as the hotel was temporarily closed.

a venetian dream

perfect location stylish decor friendly staff canal views
The hotel sits perfectly between san marco and the rialto bridge (it is quite central!). everything is a short walk of perhaps 10 to 20 minutes. i loved arriving by water taxi. The hotel features its own canal entrance, a must. the decor struck me as fabulous, with a cosy and stylish ambiance. staff members acted very friendly. the room featured canal views which enhanced the romantic feeling. breakfast was tasty and fresh.

Fantastic Location and Service

short walk lovely staff water taxi fast direction
The hotel location was great. A short walk took me to San Marco Square. The Rialto Bridge was also nearby. I found one of the best gelato shops between the hotel and the Rialto. The staff was wonderful. They were always smiling. The front desk people were really lovely. They were always happy to assist. I arrived by water taxi, and this was a special experience. The hotel provides wonderful direction to find it fast.
The breakfast, though good, was not very diversed. I wanted to see more options.
