Hotel Review: Dona' Palace - Venice, Italy

The Dona' Palace is a rare find in Venice. Great value for money, it is just a few steps from St. Marks and a convenient home base for your visit. The hotel is actually a 16th century palace, though this is only discernible from the exterior and a large and attractive hall used as a breakfast room and lounge. The rest of the hotel's interior is thoroughly modern, with such unexpected conveniences as wireless internet included for no extra charge. The rooms are comfortable, reasonably sized and attractively furnished in the "Regency" style and boast flat screen televisions.

The staff was helpful and friendly, and all we encountered were comfortable with English. There was some exterior work going on during the day at the time of our stay (12/2005), but this is scheduled to be complete by the end of January. We could not recommend this hotel more highly!
