Hotel Dell'Opera

V er ry nice and

Just back to Ireland from fantastic stay in Dell Opera in Venice. This hotel is definitely better than the official 3* and located in very central area just 3 minutes (walking) to St Marks and 5 minutes to Rialto Bridge - also just beside all the designed branded shops - Gucci, Dior, LV, Prada etc. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, providing maps and useful information for our visit. The staff at breakfast were also excellent and provided you with choice of breakfast requests. Breakfast was mostly continental with some cooked egg options but more than enough especially if looking to leave room for the many delicious Italian restaurants for lunch and dinner. The room we had in the hotel ( Room 106 ) was excellent - large with high ceilings and antique furniture and great views from 2 windows overlooking the canal and able to watch and listen to the gondoliers. The ability to travel from the airport via boat right to the hotel is a great advantage. Be careful with other hotels of 3* or 4* with thousands of reviews - many are bought so you need to spend time reading the actual reviews to see what hotels are good - very important if you have travelled from USA or a big distance to be sure of good hotel and good service - this applies to the restaurants as well. Dell Opera was a great recommendation from my travel agent and it did not disappoint in location, room quality and staff service so thank you for a great base to explore Venice and hope to be back again soon.

Everything was perfect

Perfect hotel and room size. Amazing location and access to local shops. Our only complaint is that there was limited hot water for bathing during our trip.

Very good

Loved this hotel. It’s right by the channel and can catch a gondola from right outside the hotel. It’s walkable distance to everywhere.. the restaurant under the hotel is open till late and has good food. Best croissants, hot chocolate at the bakery down the road .. rooms r big and clean 4 stars since the bathroom does not have a stand up shower and no shower curtains. Atleast we did not have time for a soaking tub experience in the 2 nights we spent here . Not sure if this is an issue with just the room we were in (103) or with all rooms. Other than that, absolutely loved this hotel and the staff.

Loved this hotel. The location was great. The staff were just wonderful .. all of them! Room was clean and spacious. Morning breakfast was very good. We would definitely come back! Thank you!
