I know it’s Venice and old & beautiful! It definitely was! Just wish we could have had a coffee maker in our room especially with early tours! Didn’t even have coffee available in lobby until their breakfast was ready! I need coffee when I wake up! The safe lock broke and we had to call front desk! The man broke it open ! Thank God because we put our passports in there! The refrigerator did not work at all! The rooftop bar was so much more expensive than any other eateries in Venice! It was so hot in room! Air conditioning didn’t work! We were told because it’s October and winter was here! Not for us! The positive it was close to all!

Carlton on the Grand Canal, has a very friendly team, specially Tudor on the Front desk, who was extremely patient and helpful with his recommendations and options for the area/transport. Rooms are clean, spacious and bright. Convenient location, across from the Main station and vaperetto stop. Roof top restaurant is amazing !! Express Bus available for Marco Polo International Airport, within 5 minutes walk. We were very happy.
