Hotel Bucintoro

We had an outstanding stay at Hotel Bucintoro. The location is simply perfect – right on the waterfront with breathtaking views over the lagoon and Venice’s skyline. Waking up to see the gondolas and boats passing by was unforgettable. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a nautical style, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Everything felt thoughtful, from the little details in the design to the quality of the bedding. The staff made the experience even more special. They were warm, attentive, and always willing to help with directions, restaurant tips, or travel advice. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, with a good choice to suit everyone.

Hotel was well located on the Grand Canal, away from the tourist throngs, but within walking distance to San Marco and close to a vaporetto stop. The room was comfortable and attractively furnished. The breakfast was excellent with a variety of delicious choices. ||However, the best thing about this place was the charming Stefano. He arranged our transfer from the cruise terminal and was most helpful with suggestions for restaurants and other activities. We would definitely return there.

This is a charming hotel located right on the main canal. Our room (405) was quite spacious with the bonus of a separate sitting room and windows opening directly on to the canal. The bed was comfortable, if a little firmer than we would normally prefer. The A/C worked well as did the internet. The bathroom was a good size, with a shower over a large tub. ||The location is ideal. On the edges of the main tourist area - just 10 minutes walk from San Marco square, and 1 minute from a vaporetto station, there were relatively few people on the footpath, so the hotel was very quiet. There are numerous shops and restaurants within very easy walk. ||The staff were very helpful - they organised our land/water taxi ride from the cruise terminal to the hotel - the boat docks right beside the hotel. ||The included breakfast was excellent.

What a gem situated just outside the busy San Marco area. Fantastic views of the sea from our room and the patio where we enjoyed a spritz daily. They had a lot of delicious offerings at breakfast including the best cappuccino in the city. The rooms were spacious, updated and clean. The overall standout was the staff, especially Luca, who went truly above and beyond for us each day. He even made reservations and suggestions prior to our arrival. This little hotel is the perfect place to relax.

We had a wonderful stay at Bucintoro and recommend this hotel 400%. Stunning views, very confortable, warm atmosphere. Marco, Luca, Antony and all the staff are very nice and helpful. It’s our fifth time in Venice and maybe the best one. The hotel is not far at all from the center (6-7 min walk from Piazza San Marco) and having stayed in different hotels in the deep center, we appreciated the quietness of the Arsenal area. Thank you also to the two very kind and efficient women at breakfast time.

I can’t begin to say enough great things about Hotel Bucintoro and its incredible staff!! Especially Toni and Marco who were always there to greet you with a smile and great recommendations! They have someone at the front desk 24/7. Before we even arrived, the hotel staff assisted with so many of the logistics, including setting up a water taxi during the busy Venice film festival, as well as giving recommendations for amazing restaurants that we enjoyed during our time in Venice. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warmth and treated very kindly. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our 4 nights in Venice! The room and view were just as pictured and the water pressure in the waterfall shower was like no other I have ever experienced! The view of the water from our room was stunning and was easy to be dropped off and picked up by water taxi just next to the hotel! The breakfast buffet spread was always delicious (meats, cheeses, pastries, variety of fruits) including some hot breakfast options (eggs and bacon) and coffee/espresso as well. You also can’t beat the location! You are only 10 minutes from Saint Mark’s Square and all the action in that area. Also conveniently located a few minutes walk from a vaporetto stop. There is a very nice neighborhood that was perfect for an afternoon and evening when we wanted to escape the crowds just a few steps from the hotel in the opposite direction of St. Marks Square. We highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for an intimate experience with exceptional staff and a great location!

Excellent location. Small cozy hotel with personal service. We were delighted with the selection. Excellent breakfast. Good value. I'd defitely recommend it.

We stayed here for 3 nights in August. It was absolutely fabulous. The view from our bedroom (room 302) was stunning. The breakfast was amazing, and all the staff were so friendly, a big thank you to the lovely lady in breakfast room for all the cappuccino’s 😃. Whilst in the midst of a busy city and so close to St. Mark’s square, it was a very relaxing hotel. We would definitely recommend it and return again.

Very friendly, cute, and the room and hotel had tons of character. The location of this hotel is ideal. You are close to the tourist locations on one side and to the other side, the locals. The views from the hotel are beautiful! The service was great- very helpful!

This place was great. Super pricey but hey, When in Rome, right? My luggage got lost before arriving to the Venice airport and the people at the front desk were really friendly! They were calling for my suitcase at all hours of the day. As far as the rooms, beautiful and spacious compared to other hotels in Europe. I also loved that their are only....maybe 20 rooms? The staff makes an effort to get to know you because when you leave the hotel, you have to leave the key with them. Another thing about the rooms is that they have BEAUTIFUL views. Absolutely breathtaking. If I come back to Venice, I'll definitely come back to this place.

This place was fantastic. We stopped in Venice after visiting Paris and on our way to Florence/Tuscany. Admittedly, I take forever to book places, because I have to scout it out, read reviews, check maps, investigate pictures, etc - It's long, exhausting process and Venice was no different, all of the places we looked at had heavy floral drapes and over designed rooms - looked dark and musty. This place was/is incredible - so friendly, so authentic, but clean. We stayed on the top suite, it's almost designed like a fanciful oversized yacht, with maritime touches through out - but very tastefully, not themed. We walked through the hall, which was low lit, and to our door, you turn this skeleton style key with a huge tassel - the door opens and all I remember is the incredible palette of light - I was awestruck, I couldn't help but drop my bag and run to the window to look out. I will never forget the moment I opened the window and this punch of sea air swept in. It sounds crazy, but it was crazy, I immediately was transported into authentic Venice Italy.
