Stayed here in May for 6 days. Excellent location, just off St. Mark yet within short walking distance from the "non touristic" areas of Venice. Room and bathroon were big for average Venetian rooms. Breakfast OK, it's a continental breakfast extended with scrambled eggs. I do agree with other comments advising some variety, every day was exacly the same. Staff... more

Stayed at the end of February 2008. Location was fantastic, only about 3min walk from St.Mark's Square. Hotel staff very friendly and efficient. Room large as was bathroom and very clean. Stayed on bed and breakfast with a typical buffet style breakfast which was fine. Brandy and coffee in the bar before bedtime was a treat in lovely surroundings. We... more

My husband and I stayed at the Dona Palace for three nights in late April/early May. We had just come from Amsterdam and Prague, where we stayed at two lovely hotels. Dona Palace was, to say the least,tremendously disappointing for the ranking it has been given and for the money that we paid for a junior suite. While the room... more

Good points: This hotel is in a great location, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The whole hotel is very well kept, very clean. Our room was on the 5th floor, so very quiet and quite spacious. Top tip: make sure you know where it is, stand in front of the Basilica in St Marks square, go down the... more

Stayed off-season at a discounted rate. Had no problems with the hotel at all. Room was perfect and surprisingly big for cramped Venice. WiFi internet was free (you have to get a password at the front desk), and the breakfast buffet excellent. My only interaction with the staff was at check-in/out, and they were very friendly and efficient. Location was... more

My husband and I, together with a friend, have just returned from the Dona' Palace and had a memorable 3 night stay there during Carnival. I had done a lot of searching, but previous comments and a look at their website helped me decide in favour of this beautiful hotel. The location must be one of the best in all... more

We stayed at the hotel Dona Palace for 3 nights. It was wonderful. Easy access to all of Venice, very helpful staff, and a nice breakfast buffet. The rooms were great, with nice beds and a TV. Our room did not have a view though. However, with it's great location in Venice, we were able to have plenty of fun... more

We are a family of 6, youngest is 15, and we stayed at the Dona Palace for four nights over New Years Eve. Overall, the hotel was adequate, but not great value for the money. We reserved two suites. The suites were large enough and each had a separate sitting area with a pull-out couch that served as a second... more

What a fantastic location!! It makes so much difference being really close to absolutely everything. The hotel is a little tricky to find, down a back street off the North Eastern corner of St Marks square. I recommend printing off the Expedia directions to the hotel before trying to find it. The (standard) room was really clean with good decor,... more
