My wife, her brother and I visited Venice in February. We had nothing booked in advance. At the front we saw the Metropole. It looked beyond our budget. We met a pleasant man at reception-possibly a manager. He quoted an off season rate which while good was still a bit beyond us. He then agreed to give us 5 nights... more

We spent 3 days at The Metropole Hotel in late August 2008. We booked this accommodation as a late booking and could not have been happier with our choice. It is an ideal spot on the very edge of Venice - - literally a few steps away from where all the boats stop and just a short walk away from... more

I am just returning home from my first visit to Venice and as part of my overall Old World experience I feel compelled to write a ‘little something’ to express appreciation for the wonderful time I spent at the Hotel Metropole last week. My first impression of the Hotel was its grand archetypal and artistic style, with rare classic art... more

Venice is clearly a ridiculously expensive city so was pleased to find the Hotel Metropole. It is situated close to the main Square but far enough not to be affected by the noise. The interior of the hotel is fantastic, lush and everything you would want and expect from an Italian hotel. The rooms were very nice, each individually decorated.... more

It's been a long time since I went to the Metropole (July last year), but have been to a number of hotels since and none of them have lived up to the magnificent Metropole.

We stayed here on our first trip to Venice, in a Junior Suite. We arrived by water taxi and check in was very efficient and welcoming. The hotel is small but not tiny, with lots of beautiful features throughout - great collections of antique fans and art displayed everywhere. They gave us a fruit basket in our room on arrival.... more

I booked a double room and qualified for a promotional upgrade to a Junior Suite. When I checked in with my husband, we were given a wonderful full suite. The service was warm and we were extremely pleased with our experience. more

We stayed at the Metropole 25 years ago on our honeymoon - promising to return for our 25th wedding anniversary. We are so glad made this decision. We tried to book our original room, but the hotel could not work out which it was, but when they heard why, they upgraded us to a room with a lagoon view and... more
