    Unfortunately, we had rooms very far away and one of them had a view on the wall of the other building, also the hotel sadly doesn't read the comments that we have wrote, which led to some complications.

    It was a great stay, one of the rooms had a great view and it really elevated our stay. Also, the location is great near the boat station and grand canal bridge. We had some complications with rooms being very far from each other and very nice lady Adelina helped us as much as she could.

    Awesome location in a beautiful historic hotel!

    The front desk staff seemed to be inconsistent in friendliness and helpfulness. For a hotel at this price and the room as nice as it was, a simple tea kettle, instant coffee and tea would generally be expected. Also robes would really go a long way to add comfort to the stay.

    The room was beautiful and really gave us a "Venetian" feel. We had one of the rooms with the terrace and really enjoyed sitting outside a bit. We like the ability to make the room very dark by closing the shutters. We loved being on the roof top terrace our first night and watching the gondola's and gorgeous water taxi's. Sadly we could not use it thereafter because the awning had come down and was not fixed during our stay. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. Beautiful little waterfront room to enjoy breakfast in.

    The bathroom had massive problems. The bath leaked! The shower leaked! There was also a leak in the sink (a puddle in the draw under it). The bathroom mirror light didn't work. Apart from that it was huge & clean. The music system didn't work. A few stains on the lamps & the ceiling. They could definitely put a kettle into this room (take a portable kettle) as a morning coffee on this gorgeous balcony is priceless. There was no mini bar & no hotel bar. We bought wine & beer from supermarket & drank on balcony 🥰 we didn't complain, as we didn't want to move rooms, as this was the only room with this view.

    Breakfast was minimal, but adequate. Buffet style, everything topped up regularly. Staff were very friendly. Room was tidy & huge, we had the suite with a balcony. That was the best thing about this hotel, location & the best view in the city !!!

    Return Visit to the Foscari Palace
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Superior Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    See above - The building is old and it sits directly on the very busy Canal, anyone booking should take this into consideration.

    We were return visitors to the Foscari Palace having enjoyed a stay in 2022. Our expectations were based on our previous experience and the price that we secured for our rooms last week. The hotel building dates back to the 1500s and that should be considered by anyone planning a trip..... it is typical of the area. We arrived at the Foscari in the evening from the train station and were met with a friendly welcome back, prompt check in and our rooms on the 3rd floor were ready for us. Our rooms were clean and of a good size with partial canal views which was nice. Beds were enormous and arranged with crisp, fresh linens. Bathrooms were well equipped and hotel addressed a hot water challenge promptly and successfully. Breakfast is plentiful and typical of hotels of this standard with hot options and continental choices. Service was good on the mornings that we had breakfast. The location of this hotel brought us back.... it is located on Campo S Sofia, adjacent to the Ca D'Oro ATV stop. The hotel sits on the Grand Canal and has magnificent views across to the Rialto Market and along the canal in both directions. The views from the newly restored roof terrace are stunning, particularly in the evening when the buildings are all lit up. Its location is very handy for exploring Cannaregio and it is easy to get about the wider city using the #1 water bus service from the Ca D'Oro stop which is just around the corner. The hotel reception arranged our water taxi back to the airport for us and provided helpful information regarding purchase of tickets etc. Would have no hesitation in returning to the Foscari.
