5 star service, immaculate rooms, sensational location on the Grand Canal next to St Marks Square and a five minute walk to the Rialto Bridge. One of the few hotels with a terrace restaurant overlooking the Grand Canal. Will recommend highly and return.

This hotel has one of the finest locations in Venice with a lovely bar and restaurant terrace right by the Grand Canal. The foyer entrance opens out onto quality shops and is just 2 minutes walk from St Marks Square. Our suite was in its day of the highest quality but really needed refurbishment. Rooms lower down might be a... More

Had a 4 night stay at the end of April. Lovely hotel situated just a few minutes from St Marks square. The hotel is art deco in style and has a lovely terrace overlooking the Grand Canal where breakfast is taken. Rooms are clean and comfortable and bed linen and towels changed each day. All staff at the hotel were... More

This 5 star hotel is extremely well located right on the Grand Canal, two minutes walk from St Marks Square and the Water Bus stop, and has dual frontage, both to the Grand Canal, and to a small plaza area, overlooking a small bridge. The rooms are large in size, and all the amenities are first class. The view from... More

I was a bit apprehensive about the Bauer hotel especially after reading the reviews but I was wrong as I had the best experience during my stay there. The hotel is traditionally decorated but elegant and well maintained. The room was a bit small but I was offered a room overlooking the canal, which was lovely. Breakfast on the terrace... More

Close to all places of interest, helpfully staff, room was what you would expect for a 5 star hotel. Down side had to ask for the free WiFi, would have expected to have been told it was free when I checked in which is standard practice in all the 4 & 5 hotels I have stayed in around the world.

First visit and loved it. Water & boats a pleasant change from bikes & vehicles. Food & drink great and not as pricey as we thought apart from the biggest rip off ever at Harry's Bar. Ludicrous prices 16 € + 10% vat for a Bellini that tasted nothing special in a place tha resembled the front room of a... More

My family and I stayed here for one night before a cruise, and was not disappointed. The hotel was within easy walks to most major sites in this beautiful city, which to me, was the most important aspect to a hotel in Venice. The morning buffet did the job, and the lobby bar was a nice place to spend time... More

Stayed at the Bauer during a family trip at Easter time. We enjoyed the hotel comfort very much because of the tropical rain outside and the acqua alta almost every night ! The Bauer is a mixture of a traditional hotel with gracious personals and of a modern hotel . The room for breakfast right in front of the Canal... More
