Hotel Foscari Palace

Stayed here with my husband for 3 nights in June. The location is great - right on the Grand Canal. The hotel offers two nice perks: 1) A free water taxi to the island of Murano to see a glass blowing factory. 2) A free boat ride at night if you eat dinner at the hotel. Dinner at the hotel was nice because you can eat outside on a little balcony right on the Grand Canal! Service and breakfast were good, and the room was good. Our shower leaked onto the floor, but it wasn't a big deal. We just used towels to mop it up.

The staff is very pleasant and helpful. Value to price is also good. Breakfasts are tasty. Room was big and beds comfortable. Bathroom was awful, dirty, with fungus and tons of scale everywhere.

Good. Some improvement could be done for room facilities like complementary tea bags. Electric kettle.

Very kind and helpful! We checked in late and there were no problems.

Great location half way from the train station and piazza San Marco. On the Canal Grande very close to the Ca D’Oro and it’s vaporetto stop.

Great location exactly opposite Rialto Market. Lots of great restaurants and bars in near vicinity. Spacious room with HUGE, comfortable bed. No ceiling lights, only table lamps, more than one of which didn’t work. Bit of a pain to go round the room turning them all on and off individually to get sufficient light. Bathroom large but rather worn... the bath and shower screen were badly marked and jacuzzi jets didn’t work. Staff very pleasant and helpful. The inclusive breakfast was a good selection of breads, cereals, fruit, cheeses and meats. Bar disappointing... white wine wasn’t chilled and on our second night there were only 2 white wines available and no ice. Fabulous views of the Grand Canal from the roof terrace. Sounds like a list of negatives, but really enjoyed our stay in this unique city and would happily stay at Foscari Palace again.

Usual warm welcome. Not happy with first room allocation but after consulting with reception, room was changed. Staff always prepared to help and advise - even opened the bar so we could enjoy a nightcap on return from being out for evening meal.

Friendly welcome from staff, comfortable room, bathroom needs some updating, small shower area. Good selection and tasty breakfast. Plenty to eat. Great location on grand canal with gondola stop right outside and beautiful view from roof terrace especially at night. Bars and restaurants minutes walk away.

Staff really helpful and friendly and were the best part of the experience. However condition of the room was disappointing with a broken tap, broken chair in the room. Rooms, or at least our room, needs a refurbishment!!

Visited the week after the floods, the hotel was immaculate, considering it is on the Grand Canal, and although the staff declined to comment, the hotel must have been flooded. The hotel itself is in a very central position, close to all the major attractions and walkable from PIazzale Roma. We stopped in room 102, which is in the first floor, it was as you say , compact and bijou, although the bathroom was quite spacious. The breakfast in the hotel is very nice, with plenty of choices, including fruit, cereal, as well as scrambled egg, bacon and German sausage. Overall a very nice hotel.
