San Clemente Palace Kempinski, Venice (Italy) - Deals & Reviews

It was a great hotel with loyal staff.

it is undoubtedly a superior option when in venice. amazing 5-star experience. we were moved to a superior twin room and had central heating, an electronic key card and cable channels. furthermore, free wi fi was a great addition.

Breakfast was excellent. Pool was great. Complete outdoor facilities incl. tennis court was very well maintained. Boat shuttle service to the city all day was fast and reliable.

The price/performance ratio of the dishes in the restaurant at dinner is not satisfactory. it's better to go to the city for dinner.

large pool; free shuttle service; super breakfast; nice rooms; well-kept green area with great views of Venice; windows were closed but were opened on request. Tickets for the Doge's Palace are available at the hotel.

We had a very small shower cubicle in a big bathroom. Food and drinks are very expensive but good. Cappucino cost 9 EUR!!!!! Small bottle of water - 7 EUR. We got a kettle on request, but without tea or instant coffee ... a little poor for a five-star hotel. Bring it with you. :-)

when you go out of the water taxi you feeel transported into another world. The large park with the magnificent swimming pool invites you to linger. you can pamper yourself with a cocktail or a small snack. The rooms are very spacious and the oversized bed is wonderfully comfortable. The breakfast is very generous and clearly arranged. We are happy to come back to this excellent place.

Very nice amenities, the place is magnificent, the rooms are very comfortable, all in an ultra peaceful atmosphere... a nod to the kindness of the team: concierge, room service, shop manager and the whole crew... ideal for enjoying Venice and real moments of relaxation at the same time.

We had room 352 on the 3rd floor, clean and spacious but uninspired... could get the climate control to meet the desired setpoint and couldn't get the confort level expected. Overall like the location and experience but this didn't fell like the 5* it claims to be. Large public groud, with pool,tennis, putting... It was really hot while we were there and we opted for the indoor Jacuzzi to relax. In fact we would get up, breakfast then head to San Marco around 11am then back to the SPA areound 4pm til 6pm then back to San Marco for dinner... this worked out great everyday. Full buffet breakfast was included but it did sometime run low on bacon and eggs.. The hotel itself is quite large and located ona private island at about 10mins boat ride which runs every 20mins. Found that entertaining and easy to use, compare to the poor folks lugging their lugage across multiples bridges! If you're getting there by train or drop off a rental, I suggest you get on Linea 1 to make the journey down the Grand Canal. If leaving/arriving by plane(VCE), Alilaguna's Linea Blu will get you to and from the airport. Really like the location away from the main islands, the hotel shuttle boat was easy to locate, just a little before the first taxi stand after getting off at San Marco heading toward Doge's palace. Only one bridge (5steps) to cross before making it to the landing area.

Relaxing in quiteness after a long day away from the crowd. Breakfast was superb. Shuttle boat to & from St. Marco Sq service including staff was great. Hotel Staff were Fluent in English (big +). Best way to geet to Hotel from Venice Train Station is 1) Take the Ferry boat Euro 6.50 per person to St. Marco Sq trip (20 -25 min) then 2) About 200 meters to your right you will get the free Hotel shuttle total trip (10 - 13 min). Taxi boat from Train station to hotel o/w or vs is around Euro 75 which is too expensive

They don't provide an iron & board, because of safety, but their Laundry service is very expensive. For ironing 4 simple items we paid around euro 65.

Breakfast buffet was excellent. Champagne was available every day if you wanted it. There was plenty of choice and all good quality food. The hotel itself was beautiful, well decorated and well organised. Lots of space for a Venice hotel. Being on its own island means there is a chance to relax and unwind if you want rather than going into town. Although the trip in to Venice is only 15 minutes on the shuttle boat. This runs every 20 minutes most of the day though there are a few 40 minute gaps - you are given a timetable on arrival. Overall and excellent choice and I would stay again

Didn't have dinner at the hotel - ate in town. We had to wait and extra 20 minutes once for the shuttle as it was full - only happened once in 5 days though. Beware the free trip to Murrano - they will pressure you into buying some expensive glass.

Superb location. Wonderful staff. On arrival we were told we had been upgraded to a larger room and the room was very comfortable. The shuttle ride to San Marco was a delight and shuttles run from 5.40am throughout the day until 2am! The hotel is a great place to relax away from the crowds in Venice. The buffet breakfast was exceptional and as we had to leave before breakfast on the last day to catch a flight, staff at reception arranged a "breakfast bag" for us to take. A great place to stay!

One small annoyance - the mosquito in our room! Can't really blame the hotel staff for this though!

lovely atmosphere lovely setting and great staff.

everyone we met was upset regarding cost of wifi

Cleanliness, kindness of the staff & luxury experience

Historical aspect of the building and the privacy of the hotel away from the crowds of mainland Venice.

Over-expensive food and beverages.

the spaciousness and the peace after the hustle and bustle of the city of Venice.

The reluctance of the staff to take on board constructive feedback.

the design of the hotel is amazing plus its offers a free boat trip the city and they offerd us a free transport and free tour to the glass factorys
