Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Palazzo Stern enjoys a prime location right on the Grand Canal, next to the Ca' Rezzonico vaporetto stop, which many guests find convenient for exploring Venice. The spacious rooms in this beautifully renovated palazzo often feature comfortable bedding and some even offer balconies with wonderful views. While the continental breakfast is considered perfectly adequate by many, some guests have found it a bit uninspired. The hotel also offers its own water taxi entrance, a plus for those arriving in style, and is within easy walking distance of the Accademia Bridge.
