Palazzo Cendon Piano Antico

We had to book a hotel at short notice when we arrived in Venice for work late on a hot day and our accommodation had been booked to start on the wrong day. A quick scan of Booking found the Hotel Cendon nearby and we booked a night there. The hotel is pleasantly old-fashioned in a good way, but our room on the ground floor was impeccably clean and spacious, with very welcome air conditioning. Staff were kind and welcoming and made us feel at home. Our room on the ground floor was quite basic but very comfortable, those upstairs look really quite special from the hotel's website.

The place is well connected, but quiet. Friendly staff, breakfast is very good, I was chosing a hotel with breakfast and I am quite happy with a full breakfast. I was also glad that my room had a nice big table to write on. Cool that it's a historical building and the room has nice looking furniture.

The location was great as Waterbus from the airport stopped just along from the hotel, then a short walk across a ponte. Room had a balcony over the canal up on the second floor, which was great as we could have the doors open at night to sleep. Evenings sitting there was lovely soaking up the night atmosphere. Restaurants around the hotel were handy and away from the main tourist area. Short walk to train station too. Bed was comfortable, and room had a Venetian style to it, which made for a true Venuce experience. Breakfast was included in our stay and was a lovely selection. A complimentary bottle of sparkling wine was a nice touch. Thank you.

Beautiful hotel. The room had lovely furniture. Some have been a bit negative in reviews, but we thought it was really comfortable. We were only there for one night, but the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is just out of the way, so it was very peaceful. However, we were able to wheel our luggage to Piazzale Roma comfortably in 20 minutes. (We are not so young, so that included slowly lugging it over the bridge between the train and bus stations).

Hotel is well located. Easy water taxi transport. It is a little old inside, rooms are a bit dated. But that does add to the overall Venice feel. When we arrived we were advised we could check in, went up to the room and it hadn't actually been cleaned yet. The staff were nice about it and got it sorted within 30 mins. They had been really busy with checkouts, so an honest mistake. Some lovely little bars nearby and it is lovely and quiet in the night time. Would recommend for a couple as price was really good for Venice.
