Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Il Palazzo Experimental Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Il Palazzo Experimental enjoys a fantastic location, just a short distance from the main attractions, with convenient access to water transportation. Guests often compliment the spacious and stylish rooms, some featuring lovely garden views or overlooking the rooftops of Venice; many were provided with comfortable robes and enjoyed making coffee with the in-room coffee maker. The hotel boasts an excellent restaurant where the avocado toast and cappuccino are popular choices, and the outdoor seating allows one to savor the stunning views; however, some guests have experienced issues with boats obstructing the view from lagoon-facing rooms. It's a great place to enjoy the beauty of Venice away from the crowds.

An Experimental Romance

convenient locationcanal viewreception staff
The hotel's location was quiet but accessible. The water taxi brought us directly to the hotel's jetty. The reception staff (especially Martina, and Andrea) offered a warm welcome. We found chilled Prosecco in our upgraded canal view room.
The shower door did not prevent water from escaping into the rest of the bathroom, requiring cleanup after each shower.
Dining
9/10
Breakfast was served a la carte (with good variety). The hotel restaurant provided a wonderful dinner in the garden. The cool garden courtyard offers a special setting for meals.
Service
10/10
The staff provided a friendly yet professional service. Martina, Andrea, and Maddalena were particularly cute. The hotel ensured our anniversary celebrations were nice, a testament to their dedication.
Rooms

Our upgraded room had a beautiful canal view. Interior design was gorgeous throughout the hotel. A bottle of chilled Prosecco awaited us upon arrival, a good touch to begin our stay.
