Hotel Antico Panada - Venice

Nice room, clean and quiet.

The staff was not particularly helpful nor friendly. Be aware that some rooms are not in the main part of the hotel. I had to go through a maze of hallways, 2 different elevator banks, 2 card-keyed doors to get to my room--very confusing. Adequate breakfast. Located very near St Mark's square.

Could have been a really good stay apart from dead mosquitoes left splattered on the walls!

My friends and I stayed 3 nights. The hotel location couldn't be better. Staff were very helpful especially Alex at Reception.

Location wise-couldn't have been better...2 minutes walk from San Marco Square and so of proximity... close to everything...but you pay for the privlige...the room costs are astronomical and I did feel that the cost of the room far exceeded the quality. But, that's the way it goes..if you don't like it go somewhere else..we didn't-we paid up !!

Excellent location just off San Marco square. Room was quiet and private. Breakfast was good and I would stay there again.

The hotel was centrally located near the San Marco Plaza-my room was difficult to find-I needed a GPS to get these and back-far and disjointed from hotel lobby

I was very impressed by the the helpful reception desk. They were prompt to lower the volume of the ambient music in the evening - I had two loudspeakers on the corridor wall opposite my room - and I cannot praise them enough for their willing attention. I was also very struck by the most convenient location of the hotel, and by the design and decor of my room: it was a pleasure to be in, and to come back to.

A great little hotel, right in the heart of S. Marco. Excellent breakfast and offered with good time span. The room was a little overheated for me, but then I am a northern European and it was February

My stay was fine. Room bigger than expected. Piped music in all public areas, including outside my bedroom, was horrible. Fortunately, switched off at 9 p.m. Would nevertheless stay again as good value for money.

We were at Panada for one nite during Carnivale. The hotel was in a great location. The staff were very nice. I asked for an extra pillow for our room and it was there when we returned from dinner. I had a little problem with the room safe and someone came almost immediately after I called the desk to open it for me. There was some noise from the street during the night but it was of short duration. Room was clean, plenty of hot water in the bath and breakfast was typical Italian and very good.

Ottima posizione, camere spaziose e pulite!

I have been there three times and would go back again!

I stayed in the new extension of the hotel, which is quite new and clean. The furniture is modern,and the bathrooms are clean. But the room was very small. And most importantly it was a maze to reach the room. I had to take two elevators, walk a distance, try to memorize the way to and from the room. There is no direct elevator to the room so I had to carry my bag on the stairs when I left. The new extionsion is clean and quiet though.

The hotel is very close to the main attractions in a little narrow street. Our room was on the top floor, the windows looked at the nearby rooftops. The elevator worked well. It was very nice to hear the bells ringing from the room. The rooms generally are available from 2 p.m. Unfortunately we were said to come back 1 hour later because our room was not ready. Our luggage was carried to the luggage room by the staff. It was convenient for us, we went to the San Marco to look around. The breakfast was very good and rich (tea, coffee, juice, toast, sausage, butter, cookie, etc.). You can pay cash or bankcard as well.

We were unable to travel to Venice as our daughter was diagnosed with strep throat while in Rome. The doctor told us not to go. We tried cancelling through Venere, but could not. We sent e-mails using panada@venere.com and info@hotelpanada.it to indicate we needed to cancel and request a refund, or at least a modest cancellation fee. We heard NOTHING, but got back to the States to find our Visa charged the FULL FEE! I would NOT recommend this hotel at ALL! Julie

This hotel was the second hotel on my vacation to Cortina venice then rome this was the most expensive room but was not the nicest. The staff would ignore me until I made a point to get there attention and then they were rude to me even on the phone like I was wasting their air. Hotel location though is fantastic easy walking distance to everything in Venice.

Nice hotel and great location (just 2 minutes walk from piazza di San Marco, on very old, very narrow street) the room was very, very small, but otherwise it was quite OK (clean etc)

Hotel Antico Panada was an excellent choice. It's location right off of St. Mark's Square was very convenient. The rooms were very spacious and spotless. The gentleman at the front desk displayed an attitude toward us that was not welcoming. However, this was an excellent choice for our purposes and they included a lovely breakfast in the price.

Ottimo hotel e ottima location a due passi da Piazza San Marco. Unico neo: Intenet non è nelle camere.

Abbiamo avuto la camera superior (bellissima) al prezzo Venere (molto buono per Venezia). A queste condizioni il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono. Peccato per la colazione solo discreta e non all'altezza del resto.

Está muy bien situado, a dos minutos de la plaza san marco. Perfecto.

The place is located in an excellent location near San Marco Basilica, but it could be full of tourists. I would rather stay in a quieter location, but others may feel different. I showed up at 11:40am (check-in time is 12noon) and I was told to come back in 20minutes and my room will be ready. My room was not ready until 1:30pm. The room was all the way in the back and was very small. The carpet was very old looking. I would not knowingly choose this hotel again.

Perfect location with easy access to all city attractions, closeness to to transport

Location was great, hotel offered more than the basics, but the price was a bit high. overall, we enjoyed our stay...

The hotel is in a great location but be prepared for the noise. My wife and I loved that you are right down the street from the Spanish Steps but the noise from traffic was quite loud. It did not matter since we would come back so tired we would fall asleep right away. If you are looking for a centrally located hotel with a great staff and great breakfast included this is the hotel for you.

The rooms and bathrooms were very nice and the hotel was in a very good area for the price. The staff were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

This hotel was a real gem. The staff provided excellent service. There was a bellman to take our luggage up to our room and also down on departing. Great directions were given by the front desk for touring around. The staff at breakfast was also very good. The breakfast was very nice as well. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Venice. The only drawback was it wasn't easy to find but the local Tourist Office gave us directions.

Si volvemos a venecia volveremos a ir a este hotel nos hicieron sentir como si estuvieramos en casa, sobre todo el personal del hotel y el personal que hay a la hora del desayuno FORMIDABLE

The Hotel is adequate for Venice. My room was very small but clean. Breakfast was great. Had internet access in lobby and bar in lobby open late.

Disappointed no coffee/tea making facilities in rooms - no hot drinks available in hotel at all until 6.30pm and then prices for tea/coffee exhorbitant. No comfortable place to relax in hotel as bedrooms were too small and dark and small lounge in foyer unwelcoming. No room service. Menu for breakfast very limited.

Antico Panada was lovely. We were pleasantly surprised to find our room had a balcony (through a strange little window/door at the top of a wooden staircase). The main lobby with it's marble staircase was very nice, and the closeness to everything! perfect. The map makes SanMarco square seem a bit off, it's not! And there were plenty of good shops (not the tourist trap ones) and restaurants right out the door. There was always enough to eat from the complementary breakfast of deli meats, cheese, and breads. We had an all too short stay there. We would stay there again if it weren't for our wanting to try new places.

I couldn't have reserved a better hotel in Venice! Although the room was quite small (as expected), the service of the staff and nearness to all attractions & water-transit more than made up for it. The front staff were amazing, especially one older gentleman who had the most refreshing sense of humour and made my stay one of the best in Italy! I'd definitely return here!

My only criticism is that the rooms are twin beds, not doubles. Location is excellent, less than a minute from St Mark's.

The hotel was okay, I wouldn't stay here again. Our room was infested with mosquitos and no matter how many we killed, more showed up and we continued to get bit all night. Not a great experience. Although it was a good location and close to evertying.

An excellent location within stone's throw of Piazza San Marco. Friendly staff who made some excellent recommendations for meals. Decent breakfast. Will definitely stay here again.

Very good location. Room clean and nice. Internet terminals available in the lobby. On a very narrow street with a nightclub across from it so there is street noise until late in the night.

A great location in Venice and a good sized room - a bit dated in facilities and a bit pricey

Poor customer service, old hotel, does not seem fire safe. lots of old paths with not "real floors". Lost electricity one night, no wake up call, and once we paid for the room, the desk really didnt give a damn about helping us. breakfast was ok, but small, so come early if you want to eat, otherwise you have to wait. if you want to keep your bags at the hotel while you tour venice, they just keep them in the middle of the lobby with other guests bags.. this could be a hay-day for some dishonest guest. i would have rather had them behind a safe door. go find another hotel! chris, florida, usa

Hotel in ottima posizione. Stanza molto ampia e confortevole. ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

The hotel is unprepossessing from the outside although the reception staff were efficient. My friend who had arrived earlier was given an extremely small room with a view of three red water tanks and a walldirectly outside the window. My single room was better. However the next day on request they cheerfully found a much nicer single room which resolved that problem.Generally it was OK but a bit expensive. Breakfast was reasonable and the breakfast staff were very nice.

This hotel was sub par - very musty smelling and extremely small.

Our comments are based on the Superior standard room booked which was excellent. The room was not actually in the main hotel but a 2 minute walk round the corner. It was a very large room with sitting area,huge bed, a good bathroom and 4 large windows. In the morning we had a short walk back to the hotel for breakfast which was standard continental fayre.

Like just about every hootel in Italy, all you have to do to get a decent room is to keep refusing to accept the noisy, tiny dark ones they try to pass off on you untilthey break down and give you what you want. And don't ever believe them when they tell you there are no more rooms available.

Comfortable and close to waterbus stop. Breakfast room very small and selection of food basic but staff welcoming and reasonably priced.

We were thrilled with the location of the hotel and the price. I thought we received superior quality.

Good standard, easy to find, excellent location.

Celebrated my birthday in venice and enjoyed the stay in the hotel a lot. The room was really lovely. Nice and cosy hotel in the middle of venice. Easy to find and great located. Would go there again and can surely recommend it!!!!!

Very good value for money; well appointed hotel, with welcoming and attentive staff.

Beautiful hotel, loved the room.

Staff are warm and friendly. Hotel is small but provides everything a traveller requires.

Hotel Panada is in an excellent location very close to St. Marks Square. Room was very clean and quiet. Worth the price for the location and standard given that everything in Venice is more expensive than in other Italian cities such as Rome and Florence.

Room looked better than the photo. With the double superior room the bathroom was big enough for 2 women to put makeup on at the same time Location was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again and recommend it to any friends going to Venice

We booked a superior room and were given what was effectively a suite - bedroom and sitting room (with sofa bed)separated by a curtain. Well worth the extra. Breakfasts disappointing - coffee and croissants not as good as they could be. In Venice context, though, excellent value for money in great location.

We enjoyed our stay, the room was super small for the three of us but it was clean, superb breakfast, near everything. The guys at the front desk were wonderful. Loved the smell of fresh bread being baked, very noisy, but hey, it was Venice!!!

For our two night stay in Venice this was the perfect location - very close to river taxis - a must if you have cases to carry! minutes from St Marks Square. Couldn't have wished for anything better. Enjoyed the friendly hotel bar after walking many miles during the day - lovely to come back to! - our room was spotless and the jacuzzi was an unexpected bonus - lovely for wiery feet! - couldn't fault the hotel - very reasonably priced for such a prime location - would recommend to anyone.

The location of the hotel is very central. Rooms are a bit small and it would be helpful if the hotel staff is more friendly.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The hotel is only a few steps from St.Marks and so is in the centre of all the activity, near to everything as everywhere in Venice is easy and quick to walk to. The hotel itself was lovely. All the staff from reception to breakfast staff spoke good english. The hotel was clean and bright, with large rooms and bathrooms with 2 sinks! We took 2 rooms, one had a bath, the other a shower. Both had televisions, but only one of the TVs had 'English TV', CNN. The double beds were excellent, as it was 2 single matresses together, so very spacious and no sagging in the middle. They had double glazing to cut out noise from the street, only the restaurant shutters closing could be heard at night. The hotel provided a free water taxi to the Island of Murano, and tour around a glass factory. It is also a free ride back, unless you decide to explore the rest of the island and take a bus back. Though an iron is not provided, there is an extensive laundry service and ironing can be done within the hour by a member of staff for a small fee. There is a fridge in the room, but no coffee/tea making facilities, but there are many cafes around the hotel. Internet facilities are provided in the lobby. The main critisism would be that when we asked for a room with twin beds, we were given the same as in the double bed room but with the chair bed out. The chair bed was however very soft and comfy. Anyone going to Venice, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was very charming. The bathroom was very big with a nice jacuzzi, quite a novelty in Europe. Our room had a terrace with a view which added to the charm. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful, spoke English very well. They have internet access in the lobby, which was convenient. We didn't have a difficult time finding the hotel at all, since this was our 5th trip to Venice. The location is just perfect! Just steps from San Marco. Our only concern was with my parents who stayed there with us in another room... the rooms have different levels with steps and the bathtub is rather high, which made it a bit difficult for Dad to get around. Other than that, would highly recommend this place!

I can't speak for other rooms in the hotel but ours was excellent

Das Hotel hat eine gute Ausgangsposition für Unternehmungen aller Art. Zimmer ist OK und Klimaanlage war topp.( Wir waren Mitte August an sehr heißen Tagen in Venedig.) Frühstück ist etwas einseitig aber ausreichend. Das Preis - Leistungsverhältnis ist zu dieser Zeit in Ordnung gewesen. Wir haben für 2 Übernachtungen im Doppelzimmer für 2 Personen 255 € bezahlt, finde ich zwar sehr teuer, aber es scheint für Venedig wohl nichts besonderes zu sein.Könnte mir einen weiteren Aufenthalt vorstellen und kann das Hotel weiterempfehlen!

The room was fine--although small with small beds and small furniture. The location was excellent, although hard to find the first time. The shower was almost two small to get into--and if you drop something while in it--just forget it! The price was appropriate all things considered.

Ausgezeichnetes Hotel!! Einfach zu finden, Vaporetto Station San Marco, dann über den Platz, und in der ersten Seitengasse rechts. Extrem entzückende venezianische Zimmer, alter Stil, wirkt aber brandneu. Herrliches Marmorbad mit Bidet und Whirlpool, Frühstück gut, reichlich und appetitlich. Safe und Minibar am Zimmer, Klimaanlage bestens. Sehr charmant, zentral gelegen und preiswert. Unbedingt besuchen! Ich werde es bestimmt weiter empfehlen und wieder aufsuchen!

Great location, one step off Pl. San Marco, in the middle of all attractions. Working lift, great breafast (cold cuts, bakery, excellent coffee). Our room was quiet, clean, and nice to come back after a hectic day. Air conditioning was very good. The only indication that it was not 4 star was no fridge in the room. Internet connection was available in the lobby for a reasonable price. Great hotel! We would stay there again and recommend to our friends.

We were very pleased with the Hotel Panada, and recommend it highly. The location is excellent, and the rooms are as advertised. They are somewhat small, but this is Venice, so we expected that. As Americans, the bathroom and air conditioning are very important, and they both functioned well. The Panada had the best shower of all the hotels we stayed out during a recent two week trip to Italy. Our three teenaged sons also enjoyed the hotel.

Although hard to find at first, Panada is in a GREAT location for seeing the sights in Venice. It's really close to St. Mark's Square and the Grand Canal. The bedroom and bath were beautiful. The hotel also had a nice bar and sitting area, where we enjoyed talking about Venice with other hotel guests. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the best we had during our entire trip to Italy. The hotel is also close to the water bus stop. We appreciated the convenience when taking day trips to Murano and Burano, both great places to shop and dine.

The front desk at Panada was very helpful. They answered all questions and made phone calls if necessary to assist our family. Our one night at Panada was memorable for it's ease and comfort.

The location on the map was a bit deceptive. i either read it wrong or it is wrong. it looks like it's north of via cavour and that is why i selected this hotel. it was 4 blocks from there and not in a location i would have chosen. the people were very helpful and pleasant. you should probably indicate in your description of the hotel that during the summer months the air conditioning is off between noon and 3 p.m. so that people can plan their schedules around that.

Excellent service and location. Recommend to others

The hotel is in a very central location and right amongst all the shops! The room itself was quite small but probably in line with Venetian standards. The breakfast buffet is quite good and service was fine overall - only down side was during check-out at 5.00am the desk captain was very unfriendly.

I had a most enjoyable stay at the Hotel, the room was a little small,and the noise levels from the other guests on the same floor was quite high, however, the service was excellent, and the location in Venice is right in amongst restaurants and lots of shops close to the Square. I do beieve that the rate is high for the size of the room, especially as it was not peak season.

Hotel Panada was a delight. Great location, the room was a good size, the employees were helpful, breakfast was great. We enjoyed our trip to Italy very much and the Venere web site was a blessing. All our reservations worked out efficiently and met our expectations. Thank you, Gail Jeffrey

Very nice hotel ingood position in venice for the price of rooms, just around the corner from st. marks square ,which was something special at night.breakfast was excellant and the waitress,s very efficiant and friendly, unlike the guys at the reception desk ,who only raised asmile when we were leaving.
