The Royal San Marco Hotel enjoys a prime location very near St Mark's Square, making it easy to visit the main attractions. Some guests were pleasantly surprised by spacious accommodations, with some rooms resembling apartments, featuring separate bedrooms and lounges. Breakfast is generally well-received, though the breakfast room can sometimes feel a little crowded; many appreciate the canal view. Occasionally, guests have noted that the older bathrooms could use some updating.

great locationattic roomcold bathroom
The location was great. Breakfast was pretty good. It set me up for the day.
This is not a 4-star hotel. My room was on the sixth floor, basically an attic room. I had to take the stairs. The room was tiny. There was barely space for the beds and a small dresser. The bathroom was cold. The water in the sink never really got warm.
