Ca' Malipiero, Hotel Venice Castello, 4852

Ca' Malipiero is a noble Venetian building from the XVI century, an age-old residence of Doge Pasqual Malipiero who lived there around 1500.

Ca’ Malipiero is a refined Venetian relais, recognised as a "Period Residence" by the Provincial Authorities and the Monuments and Fine Arts Office of Venice: the vast central lounge overflows with light that filters from the large glass doors and illuminates the precious Venetian floor, the refined upholstery and the period furniture.

Each detail of the building recalls an illustrious past: from the frescos on the high ceilings, to the marble with a thousand reflections.

A stay in this prestigious guesthouse in Venice offers the possibility of breathing the atmosphere of an authentic Venetian residence, to live a truly unforgettable experience.

Ca' Malipiero The staff at the front desk were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast in the morning was acceptable and a nice addition.

Ca' Malipiero The room was so high up that we had to walk up several flights of stairs, which is very difficult with luggage. The area where the rooms were was under construction so that there were unfinished places behind several doors. The many different doors and window shutters rattled throughout the night. The bed was two rollaways put together with one sheet. The springs were sticking up all over the bed which made sleeping without getting poked impossible. Whenever you flushed the toilet, water sprayed out of the button being pushed. This didn't feel very sanitary.

Ca' Malipiero I am very disappointed because the hotel looked very nice online but when we got there we got one triple room that was very nice and spacious but the double room was so small that literally one of us had to shower in a crouched position to prevent from hitting our head on the roof. We only stayed 2 nights and fortunately the staff was able to get us another room for the second night because we were thinking of finding another hotel even if they charged our credit card for the second night. The staff made the fact that they had changed our room very uncomfortable by repeating that they don't usually give that room for such a low price instead just apologizing for giving us such an inappropriate room the first night. I think we would've overlooked most of the hotel's faults if it hadn't been for this experience. The good things were that the bathroom was modern and very clean, the sheets were clean and the location was excellent. The negative aspects were being cheated on our first night with a room that shouldn't even be offered to guests, there is no elevator which becomes a problem if you have big or heavy luggage, the first floor looks a little bit dirty (almost like a haunted house as you walk in with the old carpets and curtains), and the breakfast was lacking some fresh fruits.

Ca' Malipiero La habitación que nos dierón era impresionante grande con techos pintados pero al parket le fataba una buena restauración, a las lámparas les faltaban bombillas. Los empleados eran muy amables i correctos chocaba porque eran de etnia pakistanì o india, les faltaba la amabilidad tipica de los italianos que es lo que esperas cuando vas a Italia.

Ca' Malipiero Gegenüber der Internetpräsentation war die Realität enttäuschend. Als der gebuchte "Superior Room" eine kleine Dachkammer mit Bad ohne Tisch und kleinem Fenster zu einem Innenhof zugewiesen. Nach der Reklamation erhielten wir ein durchschnittliches Zimmer in einem Dependance-Gebäude, ebenfalls mit Blick auf einen Innenhof. Dieses Zimmer war in Ordnung, aber auch nicht "superior".
