Convenient location

I stayed at Bauer Palazzo with my mother and sister. The best feature of this hotel is its proximity to Piazza San Marco, and the fact that the water taxis pull right up to the hotel so you don't have to drag all your luggage over narrow stone streets. The room was clean, quiet and hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. We asked for a view of the Grand Canal, but our room was on the side of the building so we could only see a glimpse of the canal. But we really didn't spend too much time in the room, so it wasn't that big of a deal (although you do pay extra for a room with a view). The morning breakfast buffet was really nice - good food, on the roof of the hotel overlooking the canal.
