It was great
Pros:

We booked three nights in the hotel in June 2026, the hotel’s location is amazing right on the grand canal and next to a water bus stop so very easy to reach, it also has a traghetto (a public gondola service you can pay 2 € per person and only cash and cross the grad canal to the other side) station right outside the hotel
The breakfast was good but lacked an egg station where you can ask for an omelette or any other kind of eggs, but the breakfast tables are located just by the window with an amazing view of the grand canal so you can have breakfast with a great view, there are 3 tables located outside right on the canal but if you want to have breakfast there then you must pay extra, but after breakfast and throughout the day you can sit there and enjoy the views free, the staff were nice but not very smiley except a receptionist from Algeria who always smiled and was very nice, the room was big enough, and clean but a bit outdated, the water in the shower was weak, we had a room with no view (this was what we booked so we can’t complain) and Venice all and all was great and sightseeing was very easy because the water bus station was very close.

Cons:

A little outdated, the water pressure was too weak in the shower, and the breakfast lacks an egg station.

gdybym wracał do Wenecji na pewno wybrałbym ten sam hotel
Pros:

super lokalizacja, przy samym Grande Canal, przemiły personel, wspaniały taras na dachu z cudownym widokiem, fajny tarasik na parterze przy głównym kanale; bardzo urokliwe miejsce

Cons:

śniadania dość skromne jak na 4 gwiazdki, ale wiadomo -śniadanie kontynentalne

Ein toller Aufenthalt in super Lage.
Pros:

Der Palazzo ist hervorragend, direkt am Canal Grande gelegen. Die hauseigene Anlegestelle hat ein paar Sitzplätze, an denen man in Ruhe den Trubel auf dem Wasser genießen kann. Die Einrichtung der Zimmer ist typisch venezianisch, sauber und gut klimatisiert. Beim Frühstück ist noch ein wenig Luft nach oben :) Insgesamt haben wir hier ein paar schöne Tage verbracht - gerne wieder.

Cons:

Die angekündigte Dachterrasse war leider ungepflegt.

Wir waren das 8. Mal in diesem Hotel, das sagt doch alles.

Loved the Grand Canal setting and convenience, though the dated furnishings and service let it down
Pros:

Foscari Palace stood out for its amazing location right on the Grand Canal, where you can watch the boats glide past during breakfast or in the evenings. If you want to enjoy breakfast outside directly overlooking the canal, there’s an extra €10 charge, but the view makes it feel special. The hotel is extremely convenient, with vaporetto stops and even a gondola stop right outside, making it effortless to get around Venice. Despite being so central, it sits on a quiet little side street, just a minute from shops and restaurants. Inside, the hotel features beautiful traditional Venetian décor, with elegant paintings and classic details that give it real charm and character.

Cons:

While the hotel has charm, some aspects didn’t feel as clean or welcoming as expected. The traditional furnishings — heavy curtains, fabric headboards and older carpets — look atmospheric but clearly aren’t washed or dry‑cleaned between guests. Our headboard had visible marks and even some hair, which didn’t feel hygienic. The bathroom also had a bit of damp, and I needed to ask for the shower head and sinks to be cleaned more thoroughly.

Another downside was the reception staff, who often came across as unfriendly and not very welcoming. At times it even felt a bit rude or uninterested, which really affects the overall feeling of customer service.

Kötü bir deneyim yaşamadık konumdan dolayı iyi bir konaklamaydı
Pros:

Konumu çok iyiydi.

Cons:

Kahvaltı çok basitti. Çalışanlar çok mesafeli ve soğuktu. Kahvaltı haricinde otelde su dahil hiçbir şey servis edilmiyor. Odamız mutfak ya da sevkiyat kısmının altında olduğu için sabah 5 de yukarıya yansıyan seslerle uyandık. Sabah kahvaltıyı balkonda yapmak için extra ücret ödedik. Her sabah için 10 Euro.
