The Metropole has always been our favourite hotel in Venice. It has recently changed from a 4 star to a 5 star, I guess with a corresponding increase in cost. The ground floor has been re-organised: the lovely old breakfast room and the glamorous Zodiac bar have been knocked into one room and naffed up to produce a larger space... more

Stayed at the Metropole in November 2008 for 8 nights and found it a great place to stay. For the first night we had a room without much of a city view but were changed without question to a higher city-view room at no charge. Good basic restraunt - with great Vietnamese style coffee - and a buffet breakfast with... more

This is an incredible hotel on the Riva degli Schiavoni. It is approximately 200 meters from St Marks Square but far enough away to be quiet.

My family & I stayed here in July. The hotel is beautiful, centrally located and the service is 5 star. Breakfast is incl. in the price of the room.... the breakfast is excellent as well. Will stay here again. more

Great room (I got a Junior suite with a view on the lagoon and a wonderful terrace). Great service, quick and helpful. I am a travel agent... more

Our almost 3-week trip to Italy began in Venice and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction. Our family of five plus our friends who are our children's god-parents stayed for 3 nights in June. As we were traveling with 3 children ages 7, 9 and almost 13, our room was quite large. It consisted of two king beds... more

This Hotel was amazing!!! Relaxing, Romantic, Beautiful, Great service!!! Wonderful breakfast in a beautiful setting. Some mornings we ate outside in the intimate internal garden. Venice is such a magic city and coming back to our hotel completed our experience. Listening the boats passing in front of the hotel was so relaxing!! It is only a 5 minute walk to... more
