Torre dell'Orologio Suites

superb location, attentive staff, excellent facilities (junior suite), and great breakfast (incl. gluten free options). Recommended

The place is difficult to find by this name, it is, in fact, part of the Royal San Marco Hotel. It is just a few steps away from Piazza San Marco, it has a convenience store just 2 doors away and a gondola service right next from the restaurant where breakfast is included. The staff is helpful and ready to help in various languages. The suites Torres dell'Orologio are big, with kitchen with microwave, stove and cooler, balcony with table and chairs looking over one of the canals, dining-room and living-room, a bathroom, a bedroom and a safe. There is an elevator as well. The only not so good aspects were that the wall outlets were few and do not allow to plug in the 120 to 240V plugs we use in North America, so you need to bring or buy an adapter even if your converter may work on 250V. Also the bathroom was very narrow and the water leaks through the door, nothing that can't be fixed if needed.

We stayed 3 nights and had the best experience at this hotel. The hotel is located just off san marco square, very central to eateries, water taxis and shopping. The room was huge with a kitchen, sitting area and very clean. Beautiful big bathroom and great full it was a shower. Most places we stayed in Europe had shower/bath combo, this place didn't however could have used some bench space. Breakfast was fabulous was fresh and a good variety including bacon and eggs. We were given a free Murante tour by the Hotel, water taxi to the glass factory which is really lovely and interesting. The hotel staff are very helpful and always greeted with a smile. The whole area is relaxed and completely car free, bike and scooter free which made it really pleasant walking around the cobblestone streets without dodging traffic or scooters. Overall would stay at the hotel again. Would recommend a visit to Venice a little expensive but worth it.
