The staff was friendly and the location was good. The room was tired and outdated and we had a connecting room with our kids, but if you wanted to have the door between the rooms open, you couldn’t turn off the light in the hallway at night. The white plumbing fixtures had some yellowing and staining. I’m assuming that is minerals in the water, but it didn’t feel very luxurious. I would probably look for a different hotel next time, but there was nothing wrong with the place and I think that lowering expectations a notch when in Venice is probably a good plan.

Great hotel in a fantastic location. We stayed in a family room (2 beds and 2 bath), which was perfect for our family of four. Room was very clean, with ample room and only downside was kids room had better view of a side canal. Service was outstanding from the front desk, to housekeeping and especially Ali. Venice is a great walking city and hotel location can't be beat.
Wonderful Staff and Stay!

Smiles greeted us from the time we stepped in till the time we left. Rooms were tastefully appointed with beautiful baths! The location in San Marco could not have been more perfect. We had a daily breakfast included with our rate which was fantastic. Please look for Khan in the restaurant as he made each day special for us. More than a waiter.. a new friend. Thank you Hotel Splendid!
Splendid, indeed!

Spent two nights at Splendid Venice, which lived up to its name! Our water taxi was able to dock at the door, and we were welcomed into old-world charm by friendly staff. Public areas were nicely appointed. Our room was spotless and comfortable, and very quiet, although it faced the canal. Ports and outlets were thoughtfully placed, and wi-fi was good. Of note, the location was excellent—steps from some great restaurants and shops, and very close to the square. Altogether a grand stay!
