Antico Panada Hotel Venice

Good experience overall, stayed there for 5 days for a conference and needed quick access to the water buses, which were only a five-minute walk (both San Marco and San Zaccaria stops, which are commonly used). Room facing the back, so I didn't hear any crowd noise even though the streets were always full of people (though there were occasional hammering noises until around midnight). Very small room fitting twin bed and luggage, and shower configuration made it difficult not to get the floor drenched after a shower, but if you're here alone, plan to spend most of your time outside, and want privacy and relative quiet with excellent convenience for a decent price, this is the place to stay.

The location is good for the area as the Panada is it just around the corner from the Piazza San Marco, less than a minute walk. Clean enough but definitely showing age. Small rooms typical of that part of Italy. Staff was courteous. If you are looking for a simple place to stay with no extra luxury then this hotel could work for you.

I've booked a double room in this hotel for 2 nights. However, the hotel was fully booked and it's only able to give me a single room in the first night. But overall, the hotel was quite good with reasonable price and great location - juz beside the St. Marco Plaza.

Location was really good, we were very close to Rialto bridge and practically next to the Doge meusuem. Breakfast was not good at all. There was no variety.We were charged quite a lot for the normal cow milk that we wanted for our kid. No hotel hs charged us for that and the price was very high. Room was nice and clean but small. the receptionist was very nice and helpful and made sure we are comfortable with kids. overall good expeirence.

Some personal there was very very unfriendly! Be careful what you are saying they will shout at you. I was just asking for a correct invoice (the was a third of the amount missing and the name (was not my name) was wrong), then the guy at the receiption was freaking out and shouting at me...embarassing... Location is really good..but the employees..

The hotel is charming and in an excellent location a couple of minutes stroll from Piazza San Marco. Throughout our stay the staff were friendly and helpfull. Our room was of a reasonable size, well decorated, with air conditioning, a large bed and superb bathroom. The room was well cleaned and the towells changed daily. The hotel building is quite old which adds character and interest befitting a holiday in Venice. Getting to our room from reception was unusual as we had to negotiate several corridors take two lifts and climb some steep stairs. This is possibly a result of the hotel occupying two separate buildings. If anything as we are reasonably healthy this was simply regarded as quaint rather than a problem. It is of note that at the outset we were asked if this room was acceptable and indeed it was. Breakfast is typically good continental fare ie. cereal, meat, cheese, fruit, bread etc with tea and excellent coffee. The hotel is ideally placed for those wishing to explore Venice with immediate acces to the water buses on the Grand Canal and the many narrow streets with breathtaking views which take one by surprise as you turn a corner or cross a bridge into a "square". If you are seeking a holiday to enjoy the Venice experience at a reasonable cost then this hotel should be on your list. If however you want a 5* Hilton or such like with full English breakfast then this hotel is not for you, but then perhaps the delights of Venice aren't either

it was a good deal.

The location of hotel is great. The staff is not friendly at all. They are not helpful either. One of the guys used a racial slur when he was speaking to me. I would say some of the staff members were ok, but I feel like they don't really want to help you. Its like you are forcing them. I booked my hotel room and was suppose to get a double bed and a twin bed instead I got a double bed and a couch that a five foot five person could not even sleep on. I would recommend staying at another hotel in the same vicinity. Breakfast was not great at all, just bread, cheese, orange juice, coffee and cereal. I would expect more when I am on vacation in Venice.

The whole staff was very friendly except the breakfast waitress. breakfast wasn't that great either except the coffee, which was amazing and the fresh fruit. I don't know if this is a Venice law or only this hotel had it, but, the room key is also used to start up the electricity in the room, so if you want to leave any batteries charging while you are away you have to leave them at the front desk.

Very good location and nice hotel to stay in. Bedroom a little squeezy but bathroom huge and had a bath - great after a day of site seeing.
