Ahhh Venice
It’s a great hotel in the City. When we checked in we were greeted by a very nice man (Michael I believe) who gave us suggestions on where to eat, and visit. The room was clean and relaxing. There is a little sitting area on the roof which has a nice breeze. We enjoyed that we were right in an active area of Venice. There is a great little coffee shop to the right of the entrance door. The room we had was on the 5th floor, and there is no elevator, but great views of the city. We loved our time there and would stay again.

Hotel is a historic building so it was old but the room is updated. The wifi in the room was very weak, I think that's the only down side on this property. Other than that it is a great hotel.

Michael was very helpful.He provided information on how to go around and good restaurants. Lanterna is very easy to find close to Rialto and the Vaporreti. It was a memorable stay. There was no lift so prepare to carry your luggages and go up and down the stairs. It was a memorable stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The location was great. Friendly service at the front desk. Several issues wrong with the room. The refrigerator in the room didn’t work, the toilet seat was not properly secured to the toilet and kept moving. Pinching hazard. The carpet was old, spotted and very disgusting. The shower was filthy and didn’t seem to be cleaned in a long time. Dirt stains on tiles including mold in the bottom tiles. There was never a mention of endless steep stairs up to our room!! When the issues were reported, there was nothing corrected. The price for our room was way over priced!! Low end Hotel!! Not fit for dog and we will definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone!!

We enjoyed our stay at Lanterna di Marco Polo. It was initially a bit confusing as there was no check-in staff for our arrival around 6pm. However, we did receive an email with instructions to help us get access into the building. The staff member the next morning was very helpful & kind—thank you! Room bedding & decor is quite outdated, but the room was clean & the air conditioning was great. There are no elevators, so if I were staying here again I would request a room in a lower level especially if one is traveling with heavy luggage &/or has a hard time with stairs in general. It’s conveniently located within a 3-4 minute walk to water transportation. Everything is fairly walkable in Venice, and we found excellent restaurants & shopping within minutes of the hotel.

Office is only open until 1:00 pm but I was sent several messages from Anna on how to get in the property which was straight forward and easy. Michael and Anna were extremely helpful throughout our stay and the hotel is on the Centre of Rialto which was walking distance to everything. The Rialto bridge is a 5 minute walk. Great location and super helpful staff.

I booked a room last minute for one night. The location was very convenient. The front desk staff was lovely and very welcoming. The room had a historic look/feel but was comfortable, private and nice. The bathroom looked like it had been recently renovated - very nice. I would stay here again!
