Antico Panada

Location was excellent...the hotel is very close to St.Marks cathedral and how many hotels can boast that their clients can wake up to the sounds of the bells ringing Also the hotel is within a 5 min walk to St.marco zechariah boat piers which allows you access to all boats in the grand canal as well as easy travelling to Murano,Burano and Torcello Staff are very friendly and helpful and helped us out when getting our luggage delivered from the airport

The breakfast is typically Italian (quite light) and while it's good quality, one should remember that it's not typical of the breakfasts in other countries in Europe

Good location. Decent breakfast.

The beds were so hard and the pillows were absolutely awful.

Quaint, charming hotel, with winding corridors to some - in our experience - nicely decorated rooms, just as seen in the photos. Perfect location just off St Mark's and attached to a restaurant which served us great dinners on two nights of our stay.

Some elements of management would have done Basil Fawlty proud - one room hadn't been prepared so one of our party was put in another building across the lane for the first night, and checking in was an experience - more staff in the hotel would have helped! But we were not paying a thousand pounds a night!

Very close to Piazza San Marco (a block!)

dated but absolutely fine

location

expensive and not very comfortable

The location was very convenient, walking distance to a lot of main attractions and sites (including the ferry stop) which is the best pro about this stay I found. The room itself was quaint with lots of character, very Venetian, I loved it. The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional.

Nothing to do with the hotel itself but some VERY SMALL challenges come with bringing a large suitcase, namely stairs and some narrow walkways. In the photos of the room the shower had a door and cover, but the room I received had a curtain and shallow depression in the floor for the water. Again, not a big issue but also not one I expected to come across.

Comfortable and spacious rooms

There is no room for suitcases, In case you need to leave your suitcase

ANTICO PANADA IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO THE ST. MARK SQUARE...JUST A BLOCK FROM THE CLOCK. WE GOT A DOUBLE ROOM...THAT IS TWO SMALL ROOMS UNITED BY 2 STEPS. BOTH HAD NICE AND QUIET WINDOWS. THE BATHROOM WAS IMPECCABLE AS WAS THE REST OF THE BUILDING AND AFTER LONG YEARS OF TRAVELING I KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FOR DIRTY CORNERS OR BEHIND TOILETS OR WINDOW SILLS, THIS PLACE IS SUPER CLEAN. BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLLENT. YOU CAN WALK TO ALL THE FAMOUS PLACES AND TAKE ANY OF THE VAPORETOS STEPS AWAY TO THE TRAIN STATION OR TO VISIT MURANO O BURANO OR GO TO LIDO BEACH.

I WISH I COULD HAVE STAYED A COUPLE MORE DAYS. 4 DAYS IN VENICE SHOULD BE THE MINIMUM.

Location! Location! Location! I tend to be very particular when It comes to hotel stays. However, to my surprise...there was literally nothing to complain about in terms of the room, cleanliness etc. The hotel gave the feel that I was In Italy, from the décor to furniture( rustic and authentic....exactly what I was after). We were on the 3rd floor ( lift available) which was fine. The room was to our satisfaction...I would say though...ditch these red floral blankets. We enjoyed breakfast. Staff was nice. Overall VALUE FOR MONEY!

I'm all for keep with the authentic Italian charm, but you need to consider reupholstering some furniture. We decided to have dinner on site (despite the numerous options available outside). WORSE DECISION EVER! My husband had the salmon...very bland and watery! The shrimp cocktail...please dnt order! The mixed pork was not seasoned..and staff wasn't knowledgeable enough to know you can't cut pork with a table knife. I won't recommend dinner unless people are happy to waste €80 for rubbish.

The location is just super great (like all the other reviewers say) Even though we are not living in a room in the "main building", the WIFI was very strong (strongest among all the places we've stayed in Italy) and the AC was very strong too (great for hot summer days) even though there's no view outside of the window (living on the 2nd floor), at least there are still windows that you may open (2 layers, one glass, one wooden for better security) The hotel itself represents the style of the labyrinth of Venice and the interior was beautiful as well. The bed was clean, huge, and comfortable. The staff was friendly.

if you just want to leave your luggage after checking out, they will only be at the lobby, felt a bit unsafe, but at least there're security video cams around. every liquid provided in the breakfast tastes very much diluted, but it's still good that the coffee is unlimited (so you could still boost yourself up with enough caffeine you'd need)
