I had a great time at Il Palazzo Experimental for three nights. The elegant design and comfortable rooms truly stood out, creating a lovely atmosphere. However, the breakfast options could definitely be improved, as the selection felt somewhat limited. Overall, my stay was enjoyable, though a few tweaks could enhance the experience. 🌟

I stayed in a Small Single Room, which was well-equipped and incredibly comfortable, especially since it faced the inner court, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling city. The room was clean, albeit a bit small for my taste.

The service overall was good; the staff was knowledgeable and attentive, helping me with various requests. However, I found the breakfast service to be a bit lacking, and the menu didn't offer much variety, which was disappointing.

The hotel's location is lovely, situated right on the Zattere. It offered picturesque views while being slightly away from the main tourist trail, allowing me to experience a more authentic side of Venice. Perfect for exploring without the crowd! 🛶

Breakfast was served in the inner court, and while they did offer fresh eggs cooked to order, the overall menu felt a bit predictable and could definitely use more seasonal variety to enhance the experience.

The hotel boasts nice facilities, including dry cleaning and housekeeping. However, I felt that the amenities were somewhat limited; for example, there wasn't a lounge or a dedicated workspace available during my stay.

My stay at Il Palazzo Experimental had its ups and downs. The location was perfect for a quieter Venice experience while still being close to everything, but the service left much to be desired. The hotel itself is beautiful with thoughtful design, but some amenities and dining options need improvement.

Rooms

8.0

I stayed in a Superior Double Room, which was beautifully designed and had all the luxury touches I could want, like bathrobes and speakers. However, I noticed the bathrooms could use better ergonomic features; it was tricky to use the faucets with soapy hands, and the glasses provided were oversized for rinsing.

Service

5.0

The service was a low point. Staff seemed unhelpful and slow, particularly in the dining area where I waited a long time without anyone taking my order. It felt like they were not really attentive to guests' needs.

Location

9.0

The location is definitely a highlight—I loved being away from the main tourist trails yet still just a short walk to key spots. It’s right on the water, providing stunning views of the canal.

Dining

Breakfast was decent with a lovely setting, but could be better; I missed having filled cornetti and fresh eggs. The dining options felt limited, and I wished the terrace had more functionality for dining or lounging.

Facilities

7.0

Facilities were pretty basic for a place of this category—no real lounge or workspaces. Despite this, I did enjoy the ambiance and the bar's cocktails were superb!

The Deluxe Double Room had quality bathroom products, but the soundproofing could have been better. I also noticed the ventilation was a bit lacking, which was a concern during the summer heat.

Service

The staff were friendly enough upon arrival, but when I needed assistance, their support fell short, which left me feeling unvalued. I hoped for follow-up from management after my issues with discomfort, but unfortunately, that did not happen.

I loved the location of the hotel as it was near the Vaporetto stops and away from the main tourist trails. It provided a lovely opportunity to experience everyday Venice while still being close to attractions.

My stay at Il Palazzo Experimental was quite enjoyable, particularly because of the lovely location and the stylish rooms. However, the lack of certain amenities, like toothbrushes and toothpaste, was a bit disappointing. While the service was commendable, especially from Maddalena, I felt that the hotel could have tailored the experience more personally, especially since I mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary.
