Hilton Molino Stucky Venice

Lovely Hotel, great suite, great staff, reasonable price. Nice rooftop pool.

Guidecca is great but the shuttle service runs every 40 min which is too infrequent to be of any use. Vaporetti (water buses) are fine but only the #2 or #4 stop at the nearest stops at intervals of 12 or 20 min which makes getting back and forth to the main island a tad inconvenient. There are three restaurants one in the expansive bar and two in adjoining building. The food is on the expensive side in the main restaurants and they are too similar with too little variety. My wife and I were there four nights and the food was fine but we were bored with the menu. The hot water was frequently luke warm in the bathroom. It’s a long time (maybe 10 yrs) since I’ve been asked to pay for Wireless in a hotel room! And I was paying extra for an executive suite! We usually stay somewhere on the Grand Canal but we thought we’d give the Stucky a try having walked past it on our last trip. It has much to recommend it but I think we’ll opt for a hotel on the main island next time.
