Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Il Palazzo Experimental is known for its beautiful design and convenient location near the lagoon promenade, water bus stop, and a Conad supermarket, just a short walk from attractions like the Accademia. Guests often enjoy the made-to-order breakfast. Some guests have mentioned that first-floor rooms facing enclosed spaces may require keeping curtains closed for privacy, but many others have relished larger rooms overlooking the lovely gardens, finding them a cool retreat on hot days, with some even being upgraded to canal- or garden-side rooms.

The hotel location is very convenient near many hotels and restaurants. The water bus stop is a short walk away and a supermarket is also close. Breakfast was freshly made to order each day. The gardens are a particular feature offering a splendid cool location on hot days.
My room had a terrible view of a roof and was directly next to the elevator. I could hear the dings whenever the elevator was in use. There was no ability to adjust the AC in my room and the vent was constantly blowing.
