Yet another old world hotel that rests undeservedly on its famous laurels. From check-in to asking the concierge for some simple assistance with booking a covid test, no one at the Danieli was very bothered (read:dismissive to the point of being rude). I get it- it???s a high traffic hotel, with a lot of notoriety. People will stay here regardless of the quality of the experience at the end of the day. However, as a lover of old school charm and equally as a ???collector??? of historic properties, I can only say I was disappointed. In general, you don???t encounter friendlier people than Italians, but I have to say, that wasn???t the case whatsoever at the Danieli. It???s strange, because in a city like Venice I???d expect a hotel of this caliber to attract only the best of the best in the industry, but sadly I didn???t feel any warmth, eagerness, or charisma from the staff and instead felt a lot of arrogance. The rooms are also very dated, and not in an elegant way. The one big plus I???d give the Danieli (aside from the beauty of the old wing) is that the bed was very comfortable. Frankly, go for a drink, but stay elsewhere. I know I won???t be coming back.

I used to come here with my father as a child, came back and im sadly to say it is not the same anymore. Maybe because its been purchased by Marriott? I dont know. BUt the staff is rude, waited for 25 min at front desk at a 5 star hotel? the rooms are not well kept, just overall has lost that magic. So sad.

This hotel is a True work of art
Beauty of Entryway and bar alone are worth price of admission.
Very expensive drinks.
Arrival by private wooden boat is priceless
Staff was incredibly friendly, knew us the entire time but they were fully behind the scenes and let us be.
Perfect location for touring or just exploring at any time of day. Our room was a junior suite and was as much an apartment as a hotel room. Allowed us both quite a bit of personal space to get ready, read and relax, etc.

?? Everything was absolutely perfect. From the check in to check out it was an amazing stay for us. We had a lagoon view room with balcony in the 3rd floor of the Danieli. Of course during the day it is crowded and a bit noisy, but at night it is totally silent and you just hear the water splashing against the promenade. All in all it was an unforgettable stay and we would like to say thank you to Massimo and Eduardo which are the best concierge. Special thanks as well to the restaurant team. The service was extraordinary and when we made pre orders for wine on our room etc. it was always on time and served with a smile. (Even in the middle of the Night). Again thanks a lot and we definitely will stay in the Danieli again.

We stayed at Danieli during Covid. Of course, the Palace is beautiful. But more than that, and despite the gloomy atmosphere due to the pandemia, the Staff (Head of Concierge Filippo, Head of Restaurant Lorenzo, Reception) have done far more than one could expect, spending time answering any question, advising, and all the time being so friendly. Suite 360 was abs. perfect with a view to Dodge's Palace. We recommend.
