9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,001 reviews)
Our room was beautiful. It was quiet and had blackout draperies, the beds were comfortable. The garden room was gorgeous, the view from the bathtub was just great. The breakfast had a wide variety of choices. The location was close to transportation and a short walk to Pontocho. We enjoyed our stay. We arrived early and asked if one room was available. It was and it was great to check it early and quickly shower after a long day of traveling. They prorated the daily cost, so $100 for 4 hours. While fair, we were staying for 4 nights with 2 rooms, so it seemed a bit penny pinching-and it took over 30 minutes for the front desk to calculate the fee.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (61 reviews)
It was very nice room and excellent services overall. Just on the side of the hotel and was under our room had a constructions going on during the day. It was really loud even though just for a few hours. It would be nice if hotel would notify the guests in ahead of the time.

Get there by nine to get one of the limited tickets to go inside the palace, but you can always walk the grounds for free.
