We arrived in Venice on December 23 for 3 nights at the Paganelli with our 2 teenaged granddaughters. We were dropped by our water taxi in front of the hotel. Our rooms were on the 2nd floor with the view of the Grand Canal pictured on the website. The bathrooms were well appointed with modern fixtures; the rooms were roomy... More

Stayed for 4 nights in January. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Kept our luggage for us after check out. Would happily stay there again. Wonderful. More

If location is your main criterion, you cannot go wrong with this hotel. It really is very close to St Mark's Square, yet it doesn't cost a fortune. Don't expect five star luxury or services, but you will receive a friendly welcome and good service from the front desk. Our room was on the top floor of the main hotel... More

The hotel is right on the main waterway, making it incredibly convenient. It was quiet and the breakfast was very decent. Only 5 minute walk to St. Mark square and only 12-15 minute easy walk through shopping/eating areas to Rialto bridge. Unfortunately, the hotel didn't meet our expectations. Last year we stayed at Best Western Hotel Ala near Paganelli (on... More

Our family of 5 stayed there for 3 nights in mid Dec 2011. Small but charming hotel, backed by great location and very good service from one of the Front Desk Manager, Marco. Very patient with our many questions. His recommendation of 2 restaurants were spot on, good and affordable. He even suggested where we could buy the Venetian Masks.... More

Our lagoon view room had a gorgeous view. The best part was that it accomodated our family of five which is very hard to find in Europe. The room was a little outdated, and the carpeting in the hallways were stained but the location was great and the front desk help was very helpful. Would consider staying here again. More

On our first trip to Venice - arriving at night, we couldn't have asked for a hotel that was easier to find. The hotel is directly in front of the San Zaccharia vaporetto stop. We didn't realise quite what an advantage this was until later in our stay when we saw numerous people struggling with their luggage through the streets... More

Spent one night here in December 2011. Location of the hotel is fantastic- right across from the vaporetto stop, so none of the bag-lugging you see so many tourists coping with in Venice. The lobby of the main building is very nice, and check-in was very smooth. I stayed in a single room in the annex- a building right around... More

Located just around the corner for Piazza San Marco, in front of the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop (making travel from the train station absolutely seamless), Hotel Paganelli is a real Venetian find. Courteous, helpful, English-speaking reception staff provided a warm welcome and I soon found my room to be surprisingly spacious for the price, as well as spotlessly clean. Good... More
