Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Canal Grande enjoys a perfect location near the Riva di Biasio waterbus stop, providing easy access to vaporetti, and is also conveniently close to the train station. Guests often appreciate the spacious and beautifully decorated rooms, with some offering lovely canal views, though a few have noted that some rooms can feel small. A highlight for many is the breakfast, known for its great variety, and the charming patio is a plus, where guests enjoy watching canal traffic. While generally well-regarded, one guest reported issues with cleanliness and customer service.
