Hilton Molino Stucky Venice

Superb hotel but with one big problem with the pool area. Rooms are wonderful especially those with a view of the Giudecca canal and city. Elegant public areas, helpful staff, and a great breakfast buffet. Transport to Dorsoduro and San Marco is easy with the hotel boat or ACTV boats. Big problems with the pool area though. First the drinks are both staggering expensive and very small. 23 euros for a cocktail that contained just 75 ml fluid including 25 ml of liquor is terrible (see pic). More seriously the pool area is covered in bird droppings which to my mind is a human hygiene concern. I have been several days and they are not cleaned up overnight. Management needs to step up and implement a full clean every day. Pics attached are just from 1 meter of my sun lounger.

I'd always stayed closer to the Grand Canal before, but found that the Hilton provides a quiet setting away from the bustle of Venice, with a convenient boat shuttle service to St. Mark's Square and the city center. We easily arrived by water taxi from Santa Lucia station. Service was friendly and helpful across the board—from the front desk and restaurant staff to the concierge team, who assisted with reservations and transportation. As a Hilton Diamond member, we had access to the executive lounge, which offered food and drinks during the day. However, it had limited hours that were not very convenient if you plan to be out exploring Venice, opening in the late morning and closing in the early evening. Breakfast is served in the Il Molino restaurant, which offers a wide selection, including plenty of treats that kids will love. We stayed in a king suite, which also had a sitting area with a pullout sofa bed. It was very spacious for an Italian city hotel and kept very clean. I will happily return to the Hilton again when in Venice.

We recently stayed here for a weekend just before embarking a cruise. This hotel is in an excellent location if you're looking for something in Venice but away from the crowds. They have a shuttle to San Marco, but we found the water buses (vaporetto) were more frequent, faster and provided more capacity. Food options are pretty good. The buffet breakfast is excellent (in true Hilton style). The rooftop bar is a must - be sure to book in advance as it can get busy. The restaurants downstairs offer a variety of Venetian and European cuisine. Good... but not great unfortunately. The Exec Club lounge is essentially an annex to the indoor bistro - we used it to grab a free drink and enjoy it outdoors. Our room was generously proportioned, although the aircon didn't work which was unfortunate.

This is a beautiful hotel in a fantastic location, with great restaurants, bars, a rooftop pool, and a well-equipped gym. However, I found it to be significantly overpriced. Drinks at the rooftop pool were extremely expensive—I paid $31 USD for a single martini, and some cocktails were around $40 USD each. If you decide to stay here, I recommend eating and drinking in the city or along the adjacent strip, where you’ll find much better value. My partner and I also booked a couples massage for $100 USD per person. The massage itself was enjoyable, but it was disappointing that it didn’t even include a complimentary glass of champagne or another small amenity. One thing I do highly recommend is the breakfast—it’s definitely worth adding to your stay. Overall, it’s a nice hotel, but be prepared for the high prices. Good luck!

Just wow!! The hotel is absolutely stunning and the rooms too - and their ferry service is practically non stop to the Doge Palace! We got there in 10 minutes- but it was nice to be across the water away from the craziness! The hotel pool is absolutely stunning but sadly you need to reserve each day a two hour period or they don’t let you up due to overcrowding! I don’t think we would stay anywhere else!
