We flew into Venice from Barcelona and our flight was about 6 hours late, so we didn't end up getting to the hotel until just past midnight. When we arrived, the man on duty for that night was extremely rude. I was starving and he informed me that not only were there no open restuarants nearby, but he couldn't give... more

We stayed in Hotel Palazzo Bembo just one night, but it was very pleasant stay in a lovely hotel in the heart of Venice. Our family of four (two kids 8 and 6) shared a family room with a picturesque view of the Grand Canal. The Hotel is a small one (just 6 rooms) on the 3rd floor of a... more

Small and over-priced. We did not get the room we booked which the staff regarded as normal and not worth bothering about. There was sour milk and stale bread as part of the breakfast but the clincher was the two occaisions we saw rats in the entrance hallway at night. We could have got a lot better for a lot... more

Based upon a very high rating and previous positive experiences using TripAdvisor ratings, I booked this small hotel despite the very high price. It simply is not worth the money. The staff ranged from friendly, but only when approached, to downright indifferent and "put upon." We arrived early by overnight train and the desk lady acted as if we were... more

I've just returned from a short stay in Venice, in CARNEVALE. It's been a great experience, specially for the view from room 101 at Palazzo Bembo. The place has 6 finely decorated rooms, with antique furniture, murano lamps....comfortable beds and a very kind and helful staff. Don't expect a Luxurious lobby or any of the usual things you expect from... more

My wife and I stayed in Venice for a few days whilst touring Italy and France for our honeymoon. Our stay in Venice and the Hotel Bembo in particular was fantastic. The hotel was all we expected it to be and the staff could not do enough to help. We needed to send a parcel home whilst staying in at... more

My husband and two daughters (aged 9 and 11) travelled to Italy in June. We stayed at the Palazzo Bembo for three wonderful nights. The hotel only has seven rooms on the top floor of an old villa and we managed to secure the front room overlooking the Grand Canal. It was magic to wake up every morning to the... more

We honeymooned here last year. I really appreciated finding this hotel through Trip Advisor. Our room was lovely and spotless and spacious. It compared very favorably to our room in Rome, and was only a little more expensive. Weird though it may sound, I was particularly impressed with the fact that the wall cloth matched the chairs and bedcover. The... more

I definitely think this hotel was above average for Venice. Beautiful environment, great location near to Rialto Bridge and unbelievable views. The bottle of Prosecco the staff provided was a nice touch and the breakfast offering was adequate. My only complaint would be the staff's restaurant advice- beware. I think the staff receives kick backs by sending guests to "tourist... more
