We recently stayed at Palazzo del Giglio for 3 nights. The hotel is spotlessly clean, and our room was of a good size with plenty of storage, a jacuzzi bath and shower. There was a very welcome bowl of fresh fruit in the room and shortly after we arrived, a bottle of prosecco on ice was brought to our room. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast is ordered the previous evening and served either in the bar or your room. We chose to eat in the bar and there was a good selection of food and drinks on offer. The location of the hotel was perfect - just a couple of minutes walk to the San Maria del Giglio vaporetto stop, and within easy walking distance of Piazza San Marco. The only very slight disappointment was that the bar was closed. It would have been pleasant to have been able to have a nightcap after returning to the hotel in the evening after dinner. I'm not sure of the reason for this - perhaps it is only open in the high season? Having said that, the fridge in the hotel room is stocked with soft drinks, wines, and miniature spirits and I believe drinks can also be ordered via room service. This is only a minor detail and didn't worry us. We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, and it will certainly be our first choice next time we visit Venice.
