8/10 Very good

Stayed mid August 2026. Overall a good stay. Location is superb, easy to walk to restaurants and tourist hot spots. Plenty of space within the apartment. We stayed in apartment 13, which was on 3rd floor. Lots of stairs to contend with with the suitcases. Once inside the air con was portable machines, so really quite noisy & not massively effective for such a large place. Bathrooms felt a bit rickety & old, the showers were small with not much water pressure which makes washing long hair a bit tricky. No hairdryer, but plenty of towels. The apartment was very rustic/ traditional, & appreciate it is an old building.

Held all the charm of Venice. Filled with culture, the high ceilings were amazing. Great facilities! Very spacious. We could walk in any direction and find a local restaurant or mini shops to enjoy. Very close to Rialto bridge and San Marco square.

The only perk was the incredible location and helpful directions to find it. Thankfully we only slept there two nights. Otherwise, the pictures aren’t accurate. The furniture is decrepit, the floor is missing wooden tiles and there are little nails poking out, the bathroom had a hole in the wall and the windows had mould on them. There was some sort of bugs in the beds that left my daughter and mother covered in bites. I slept on the bed in the kitchen and was spared but overall it was shocking the difference between photos and reality. I appreciate it’s an older building but these things could easily be fixed as they are interior things. Replaces the mouldy curtains, the peeling kitchen chairs and fix the flooring throughout. There was a collection of missing tiles just sitting on top of the fridge. No effort to fix anything

The rooms and bed were okay. The bathroom was not great, the shower does not close so the floor was always wet. Location was excellent.

This place is gnarly. We stayed in unit 12. It’s like a palace with really high ceilings and beautiful paintings. The rooms are gigantic with small balconies facing the canal. It also has a large and well-equipped kitchen. The location is also convenient to water taxi and major sites of interest. There are a lot of nice restaurants, gelato places and a supermarket nearby. There is also free laundry room for travelers to use. We enjoyed the stay very much. There are two things that could have been improved. One is to inform customers that they can easily take the public boat at the train station to get to the property instead of walking. We ended up walking for 20 minutes with our luggage’s in the hot weather to the property due to the lack of such info. The other is that the property should allow people to store their luggage there before the official check in time like other properties. We paid Euro 90 to store our luggage at a nearby barbershop. Highly recommend the Suso Gelato place. Best gelato we’ve ever had.

It was okay

It was labeled a luxury apartment but it was a bit dilapidated. The wood flooring would come up when you walked on it. The location was good though. Close to where we wanted to visit.

We loved staying here. The doors opening onto the canal were a real treat. I saw reviews complaining about the smell, but we had no issues whatsoever. You are staying on the canal - of course it will smell like water! If you follow the directions you are given to the property, you will not get lost (do not use Google maps, just use the directions you are given). We would recommend this property 100 times over. We genuinely loved it!

Unfortunately the pictures did not make the property, picture was modern and clean, we got old and rundown. Dangerous carpet on the stairs. Dirt and fluff coming out from beneath the beds. Good things.. restaurants and shops nearby, walking distance to Rialto Bridge, water buses close by.

The property is in a good location close to city centre. Direction provided were straight forward so we got there with ease. There are shops Nd restaurants within 2min walk. However, it smelt of fish from the previous guests cooking and it was a little cold si we had to keep our jumpes on. The smell made us doubt its cleanliness. Also the floors are old and uneven and pause a trip hazard.

Pros: Comfortable beds, excellent location & great directions to apartment. Cons: Apartment was not as described in images on advertisement. Shower leaked. Heating barely worked & one controller was missing. A kettle would be useful. Sink plug in bathroom was broken. Nobody got back to us regarding the images being incorrect.

Venice - Riva Palace apartments

Nice apartment, really good location. Automated check in was nice - except they did not include link to Tourist Tax, and you can't finalize check in without that. I had to reach out and beg for the link the night before arrival. And property needed maintenance: BR AC did not work well, shower drain very slow. No wifi, it would have been handy since I had to find and download AC operating instructions online.

Communication wasn’t great. I didn’t get any checkin information and had to call for it the day of arrival. Was very difficult to get through and when I got through, they wouldn’t send me any information until the additional fee was paid. Room was very large and clean but very noisy upstairs.

Beautiful HUGE apartment!

Traveling to Europe with a party of 9 can be challenging, especially when it comes to accomodations. When we found a place that had enough beds for all 9 of us in Venice we booked. We were expecting a medium sized apartment like we had in Rome and Florence, that while a bit tight they worked wonderfully. When we opened the door to Riva Palace we were shocked! The size of the apartment was HUGE!!! Extremely tall ceilings, huge bedrooms, American sized beds (beds in Europe I have found to be smaller than what we have in hotels here). The ceilings had amazing drawings. The windows in the farthest room had balconys with a canal underneath so great pictures. The 2 bathrooms were big. The apartment was clean, had towels out for everyone plus extra if needed. Extra bedding for the pull out couch which we used (was surprisingly really comfortable). The kitchen was well enough stocked with the basics (we didn't really use it). The location was perfect as it was near the #1 boat and super easy to get around as well as close to one of the main bridges. It was near to the hustle and bustle, but also in a very quiet area that gave the feeling of being in a "neighborhood". We would highly recommend this location to anyone, especially if you are a big group. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location, but the AC wasn’t controllable, the bathroom had broken plaster, and there was a loud generator inside the apartment that wasn’t mentioned in the listing.

2/10 Poor

I was extremely disappointed with this accommodation. The furniture was broken, the chairs had patches torn off, the floor tiles were coming up in several places, and the mattress had a large dent in it. The photos on the website bore no resemblance to the room we actually stayed in. Looking back, I think I understand why the reviews and photos were so mixed. The building has three floors, and the rooms on the lower floors appear to have been renovated and probably look like the listing photos. Our room, on the top floor, looked half-renovated. It’s an old building where someone seems to have started refurbishing and stopped short of finishing the job, and the floor tiles were broken in many places. I asked both Hotels.com and the property management to refund our second night, which they did, and I do give them credit for that. Even so, the room was clearly not fit to be rented out, especially at what we paid, which was a premium nightly rate. If you’re thinking of booking, I’d suggest requesting a room on a lower floor, as I didn’t see inside those rooms, but the front door downstairs looked noticeably newer.

The apartment was amazing at one end it opened up onto a canal, where you could just sit and watch the water traffic like gondolas and other boats pass by. There were restaurants and cafes close by, and public transport was only a short walk away. We loved it and would recommend this property to anyone holidaying in Venice.

The view is everything! The fact that the apartment was spacious and air conditioned well was a bonus! The kitchen was ideal and the refrigerator was perfect because the Coop market is down the walkway. Close to everything, famous fish market, Rialto bridge, grand canal, etc.

A little tricky to find, luckily I bought the SIM card so I can use GPS. They give you instructions/directions before you come with pics. Might work for you. We enjoyed ourselves. My only problem (which is out of their control) is the smell of the water. Great property, cool view

Worst Stay EVER!

This place looks nothing like the photos! It's dirty and you can find mold inside the fridge and the bathroom curtains. We were highly disappointed.

This was a bit of a bait-and-switch, with very nice, canal-side apartment pictures being used, glossing over the units that are up three flights of stairs, with no balcony, and your view of the canal is achieved by hanging over a window ledge. Our internet only worked in the kitchen, which was frustrating. It was fine, but not what we were expecting.
