Hotel Paganelli enjoys a prime location, very close to St Mark's Square and directly opposite the San Zaccaria waterbus stop, providing easy access to the airport and other islands. Guests appreciate the well-equipped rooms, some offering fantastic views of the lagoon. Breakfast is served in a separate building nearby, providing a good start to the day.

Mixed Experience at This Accommodation

small room thin pillows
The location was convenient, allowing quick access to attractions.
The room was excessively small. Storing luggage proved difficult. The bed was uncomfortably hard, and the thin pillows offered little support. I could hear noise from the lift and staircase, which disrupted my sleep.

really nice stay, great location

excellent location friendly staff water taxi
the location is excellent! water taxis stop right at the entrance, this makes it convenient, especially if you have luggage. i found the staff really friendly and helpful.
the walls seemed a bit thin, i could hear some noise from the hallway.
Rooms
8/10
The room featured a stylish window. i observed two compact wardrobes on either side of the bed. one wardrobe provided limited hanging space while the other was missing the rail. That was a minor issue.

great location friendly staff water taxi small elevator noisy street thin walls
the location was very nice (seriously!). it was super close to san marco square. the water taxi stop was right out front too. the staff were so friendly, they really helped us when there was a big storm, that was a lifesaver.
the elevator was really small and made some strange noises. it also seemed very slow. the street outside could get very noisy. i could hear everything through the walls. the bathroom felt a little bit like a cutout box in the room, though it was clean.
