Murano Palace

We can’t understand why more people haven’t chosen this option. Great accommodation at a reasonable (for Venice) price with friendly service and a bedroom view of the canal. ||Yes, it’s not in the main part of Venice but there are frequent water uses throughout the day and evening (only 10 minutes across to the main island) and you have quiet evenings. Also closer to the beautiful Burano. ||Add to this a good , fresh breakfast selection (and they even did a generous packed breakfast for our final morning when we needed an early start) and our only question is why more people aren’t choosing this great choice.

A hidden gem. A wonderful, small (8 rooms?) hotel, with more of a B&B feel. Beautiful rooms, great canal views, good breakfast and coffee options. And a very friendly and helpful staff. They are willing to accommodate your requests and make special effort to ensure your stay is easy and pleasant. Great communication via text and easy to find. The stay initanonos worth it to get out of the busyness of Venice proper. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed 2 nights at this gorgeous property. Beautiful sumptuous room overlooking the canal. Impeccably clean, beds were very comfortable and breakfast was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and we would stay again when in Venice.

A lovely, quiet hotel, well situated in Murano for quick access to Venice with trattoria locals hang out at close enough to be convenient but not so close as to keep you up at night. The staff are welcoming and laid back, and the rooms are immaculately clean and comfortable. Perfect city break away from the crowds of Venice but still within easy reach.

I booked to stay at the Murano Palace as my wife has always wanted to visit Murano and Venice, so to celebrate her birthday I looked to book somewhere that would allow us to visit both.|After booking and approaching our visit there was regular communication from Murano Palace confirming our arrival time, initially I indicated 1500 but as we arrived early we liked to drop our bags off so we could explore. Entering the hotel we were greeted by Vittorio, there was no issue in arriving early and our room was ready so we were able to check in. Our room was located on the first floor and very well decorated and overlooked the canal. The room was immaculately clean and had a safety deposit box and mini fridge, this held complimentary water, juice and some snacks. The en-suite contained bath, shower sink etc, again spotlessly clean. |Vittorio showed us the dining area where breakfast would be served and also how to operate the coffee machine that was available for us to use outside of the breakfast hours.|The hotel is situated a 5 minute walk from the water taxi stop and has plenty of cars and restaurants around, it is also a great place to explore the many Murano Glass manufacturers and shops. From Murano it is a 30 minute water taxi to Venice which was a fascinating place to visit.|I would recommend the Murano Palace for couples looking at spending a few days visiting the area, all the staff were helpful and very polite especially when asking for recommendations to eat and visit.||

Breakfast is traditional Italian. Bed is extremely comfortable and A/C worked well. We had a balcony overlooking the main thoroughfare on Murano and despite the restaurants below, the doors shut out most of the noise. Be mindful however that Murano has little open after about 6pm, not bad if you want time to rest though. Only issue was the showerhead - it does not stay upright after half a minute so you end up showering with one hand holding it up.

The hotel's position is right on the main Murano canal. So in the middle of everything, but due to the islands lack of 'nightlife' it was peaceful in the evenings. We had a first floor room with views of the canal which were stunning!!! |If I had to find criticism, then there is no mini kettle in the rooms, but facilities are available in the breakfast room (but you need to get up to get one,!)

Ideal retreat on beautiful Murano (a destination in itself) to return to after an intense visit to a hectic and crowded Venice. Location is perfect next to one of the three idyllic bridges crossing the channel. Rooms are large and everything you need is there. Staff is very helpful, friendly and efficient. Basically this is almost as good as it gets.

This was a pretty little hotel, which was more like a B&B. We let the owner know when we were arriving and a young man met us and carried our bags to our room. We had a spacious and very comfortable room on the canal, which provided lovely breezes. The breakfast room was cozy and had the continental breakfast options that you would expect in Italy. The staff was friendly and attentive. Carlotta loved practicing her English skills in conversation with us and was quite helpful with transportation and directions. I would definitely stay here again.

I really, really wanted to love it here, but I just didn't. Murano doesn't have a lot of places to stay, but I was keen to spend the day before and the day after our cruise on Murano instead of in Venice proper, so we needed 2 separate nights in a hotel. I booked Murano Palace for both but ended up cancelling the second night and going elsewhere. Basically it is a small, family-run place that is much more like a B&B than a hotel. The owner wanted us to call when we were at the airport but that would have been expensive, so we just emailed and said we were on course for our arrival time. You see, they don't staff the building except when they know people are coming. So that's awkward. We got to the hotel about half an hour early and the door was locked, so we buzzed and waited and waited and buzzed and knocked and nothing. Finally I emailed and said we were waiting and the door was opened for us. There's no lift and the stairs a bit awkward when you're dragging luggage and there's no offer of help. The lights have to be pushed on every time (and you need a special key to have them on in your room). The lady who checked us in was nice but didn't really speak English. Our room was not the cheapest in the hotel but wasn't a canal view - it was, in fact, right next to the reception desk. The window opened up onto nothing, except the kitchen window - so they could see right in our room if we didn't have the curtains drawn. And it was warm but the air conditioning wasn't on so we wanted the window open... not great. But the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom large. The TV is tiny and doesn't have any English channels. There is a minibar with a few free items which is nice. When we checked in we had to decide what time we wanted breakfast the next day, which was annoying. As it was, we didn't much want to get up for breakfast after a terrible sleep - the walls are paper-thin, and there was a late check-in, and people talking in the corridor throughout the night (not at all loudly but they might as well have been right in our room). So we traipsed to our unwanted breakfast and met the male owner, who was friendly but a bit overbearing. As we don't drink coffee we might as well not have bothered - we were each given a warm bread roll and there were a few pastries but that was pretty much it. But that's to be expected, and Italians don't really do breakfast. Long story short - if you like the B&B feeling, want to feel 'part of the family', and have good earplugs, you'll love it here. We didn't.
