Saturnia & International

The Saturnia hotel is very centrally located to shopping and Saint Mark’s Square. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. The gentlemen at the reception area makes great food recommendations. The hotel bar has some great drinks, my gf liked the Rossini (a strawberry purée with champagne). The only negatives with the hotel is the comfort of the beds, pretty stiff for my liking, and it is difficult to control the temperature in your room.

This was the last stop on our honeymoon. The hotel has a great «old» feel and is close to many of the tourist spots — like St Marks Square. You have to return your room key each time you leave the hotel and pick it up whenever you come back, which isn’t nearly as annoying as it sounds. Actually a good idea, so that they’re not lost. The room itself… Seemed dark, and was very hot. We asked the hotel staff about the air conditioning we were supposed to have, well apparently they turn it off after September? So we had to keep the window open the entire time we were there. The the furniture /​décor was dated and didn’t seem entirely clean. The bed & pillows… Not comfortable. The bathroom just didn’t «feel» clean and the bathtub was so darn tall, short people like myself have a heck of a time getting in and out. Not too mention water leaks from the shower/​tub when you shower. The staff seemed friendly enough. The staff person who carried our luggage upstairs upon our arrival and down to the water taxi was very nice.
Overall the hotel just didn’t do it for me, but it wasn’t terrible. I would stay somewhere else upon another visit to Venice.

Found this place on accident which ended up being a huge blessing for us!!!
From the moment you walk in to Saturnia you feel like family. The only way you get this kind of feeling is from a family ran business.
The concierge had all the rift answers for every question we had. If we asked for a restaurant, he had a great recommendation, we needed directions, he made finding what we were looking for, a breeze. On top of all the answers and great recommendations he had an amazing ability to make people laugh. It’s been a while since I was in a hotel with a great concierge.
The room had a wonderful bath tub that was perfect for long walking days around Venice. Beds were typical for Europe but not uncomfortable. High ceilings and great décor made our stay that much Better.
I would recommend this place to my best friend and my folks. I know if they went to Saturnia they would be taken cared of and treated like family

Amazing hotel. We booked a tour but they had us staying on the mainland. We decided to blow off our «tour» hotel and find a place closer into the center of town. As soon as we arrived our host made it abundantly apparent that our time in Venice/​Venzia was going to be special. He gave us the lay of the land including that the area we were in was central but very touristy. He showed us places to explore to get a better feel for local Venice.
The hotel itself is stunning. Think renaissance era wood beams and original oil paintings on the wall. Murano blown glass chandeliers in every major room. The room itself was a lovely retreat, firm bed, nice granite lined bathroom, and a little table for doing some work.
Breakfast was included with our room. We travel a lot through Europe and have gotten use to little containers of yogurt and boiled eggs. The breakfast was palatial. Beautiful yogurt, huge offerings of fresh fruit, incredible meats and cheeses, and the largest pastry table I have ever seen during my travels. And my personal American favorite is that the staff brought me two double espressos no questions. Being from Seattle I am use to stronger coffee and I think they could sense that one espresso was not going to get me going.
Every evening we would start or end our evening at the bar downstairs. The bartender was so nice and immediately recognized us on our second visit. The cocktails are sweeter than my personal favorite but they do have a large selection of higher end booze.
And last but not least the service is amazing. We missed our train the morning we were suppose to leave because we spent to much time lounging in the breakfast room. The host called to see if we could rebook our train, helped to map our way to the water bus, and get us going to our next destination. If you ever get a chance to stay in this hotel you should!!!

Great hotel with the perfect location! It’s blocks away from St. Mark’s Square and on a street full of stores and restaurants. We looked forward to the breakfast every morning the most! The breakfast was amazing with eggs, bacon, cold cuts, breads, fruits, and various types of pastries. The staff were so friendly and attentive too. The rooms were decent and bathrooms appeared to be renovated. They offered wifi for free in rooms as well. Overall, a great hotel choice in Venice!

The Hotel Saturnia is a very charming, upper end hotel where the staff go beyond expectations to assist travelers and make them feel welcome. The hotel is very central to shopping and the remarkable historic sites. The hotel offers a free water taxi to Murano, home of renown glass factories. Additionally, if one mentions that you are staying at this hotel, nearby restaurants will give you a 10% discount on meals (but you must ask). The hotel rooms are comparatively spacious as well as the bathrooms. Free WiFi is included, along with a complimentary breakfast. This hotel is a charmer, having been opened since 1908. While dating back many years, the hotel is very well maintained.

Hotel Saturnia and International was our last stop on our Italian Honeymoon excursion. We were so pleased with the location and ambiance of the hotel. Venice and the hotel Saturnia took our breath away. It has an old world charm to it with five star quality in room dining (some of the best lobster pasta I have ever had). One of my favorite parts of the hotel was the maze like layout that eventually leads to a roof top deck where you get a great view of the city. It was in an ideal location for our daily excursions, right in the middle of everything. I would definitely recommend this hotel to future travelers and hope we are able to go back someday.

Amazing experience! If you want the rustic feel of Venezia this is the Hotel you want. Alberto at the front desk (at least in February/​March of 2014) is wonderful! They are the only Hotel we found during our stay in Italy that would exchange money at the actual exchange rate! No Fee’s… No extra anything.
They are currently renovating and having a local Venizia glass company do all their lighting and chandeliers, because of this they offered us a free half day tour of the facility. DO THIS!!! Taxi there and back is free, and it is GREAT! I’ve seen glass blowers before at renaissance festivals and other events (some museums put on exhibitions), this makes them all look like they should never even drink out of a glass let alone try to blow one.
The continental breakfast (if your package includes it) is outstanding and the best we had in 3 cities in Italy over our 2 week trip. The have everything you could ever want and more, and it is all worth the experience.
I literally cannot say enough great things about this Hotel. They are unbelievable, and we’ve already planned to return in 2 years and stay here again. YES, it’s that good!
I don’t recall exactly what our room rate was because we booked everything through Costco, but I know it was worth it.
