Not all rooms are overlooking St. Mark's Square. We were allocated a room on the side, overlooking the side street, so hence no view of St. Mark's Square! Very disappointing and very expensive for what it was. The room was very tired looking and needed renovation. Also piles of cardboard, which we assume were for disposal, were outside our door....

Yes, the view is fantastic but I've stayed in nicer roadside motels. Cheap construction, not well planned out room design ( Our Queen sized bed was actually two twins pushed together, Classy! ), no amenities except for a couple of packages of Nescafe instant coffee, rude employees and you have to carry your luggage up flights of a narrow staircase....

Best Windows is not a hotel. It is not a B&B. Instead it offers you a room, a very large room (perhaps 2 or 3 times the size of a typical European hotel room) overlooking the Piazza San Marco, the very center of Venice. There is no breakfast, no front desk, no elevator, no slippers or bathrobe, and no umbrella... More

This suite was overpriced. I was very disappointed with the unfriendly service when we arrived. Once we were brought to the room, the general appearance of it seems charming till you sit on the furniture or go to bed. The bed was like sleeping on concrete and the pillows like bricks. The bathroom was not as luxurious as advertised. Very... More

We had the pleasure of staying in Best Windows during a recent stay in Venice. It might be a little tired, and it might be a struggle with the stairs (no lift), and the decor might leave a little to be desired, but nothing could take away from the magnificient experience of staying right on St Marks Square! Sure the... More

Overpriced. Not luxurious as stated. Not a 4 star hotel. Linens were thin and had been mended. (You could see the holes that had been sewn). Mold in the bathroom. View of clock tower was not the view of the clock tower.

You can't ask for a better location and the small suites are classy and quite comfortable. The views are great and the place exudes charisma. We highly recommend it for a romantic getaway or just a sightseeing trip.

We loved the location of this hotel. Most of the sights the guide books rave about can be seen from your window or are just short walk or boat ride away. Ideal if you are only staying in Venice for a short time. The ferry service (Vaporetto), gondolas and water taxis are all a short walk away. Our room was... More

We were the luckiest couple in Venice on 4th. & 5th. November. Best Windows is the only accommodation, in Venice, on St. Marks Square. We were on the 3 floor ( no lift, but a very willing Porter who can be reached by calling the phone number on the door) with a view of the Clock Tower, ask for a... More
