Danieli Hotel Venice Reviews

The Danieli was a real disappointment. The hotel itself is a fascinating building, which is located virtually next door to St Marcs's Sq, so location is great. However.... our room overlooked the lagoon (lovely), but also looked out onto the main thoroughfare. If we shut our window shutters our room was like an oven, if we opened them it was like sleeping in the middle of Piccadilly Circus! We didn't sleep for three nights, and on day three were treated to the sound (at 3am) of scaffolding being constructed outside our window! The Terrace Restaurant was expensive and the food very average. Both our main courses were overcooked and cold. The overall cost was absolutely extortionate for what was a very average stay. Staff were OK but a bit off hand. Our advice - don't bother, there are far better hotels to enjoy.
