3-star hotel on San Marco Basin with rooftop Altana terraces and former convent setting in Venice's Castello district

Rooms & Suites

The hotel is set in a former convent of Benedictine nuns and has rooms in the main building and an annex 25 meters away. Select rooms overlook the Basilica della Salute or San Marco Basin, with full-width windows opening onto a large terrace. Guests in the annex have rooms with art-dèco decorations and renovated antique ceilings.

Dining & Amenities

Guests dine at the on-site restaurant Sestante, which serves fresh, seasonal cuisine made with local ingredients and offers a dynamic selection of local wines. Breakfast is served at the restaurant dependance 25 meters from the main building, with barista-brewed coffee and fresh pastries. The hotel has a bar, room service, and organizes themed evenings and special dinner events.

Location

Hotel Paganelli sits on Riva degli Schiavoni, directly opposite the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop and water taxi stands for airport connections. It is a 2-minute walk to St. Mark's Square and Doge's Palace, and a 5-7 minute walk to Harry's Bar and Caffè Florian. The hotel is also close to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Accademia Bridge, and the Venice International Film Festival at Lido.

Rooftop & Outdoor Spaces

The hotel has unique rooftop Altana terraces with views of the lagoon and surrounding landmarks. The Altana serves as a relaxation space for guests to use during their stay. A small rooftop deck is also available for escaping the crowds below.

Guest Services

The 24-hour front desk offers concierge service, luggage storage, and tourist information about nearby restaurants and evening entertainment. A shuttle service is available, and the hotel has a CCTV surveillance system covering common areas and the exterior. Dry cleaning, ironing, laundry, and invoice provision are also offered.

Highlights

Location: 2 min walk from St. Mark's Square, opposite vaporetto stop

Rooms: Rooms with lagoon views and full-width terrace windows

Dining: Seasonal local cuisine at Sestante restaurant

Rooftop: Altana terraces with panoramic views

History: Former Benedictine convent

“This hotel, once a convent, now welcomes guests near St. Mark's Square, a prime spot for exploring Venice. The rooftop terraces, though a climb, reward visitors with striking views, and the dining options, including the restaurant Sestante, emphasize local ingredients. In my opinion, its blend of history and prime location make it a worthy base for discovering Venice.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Paganelli enjoys a fantastic location, as many guests appreciate being just around the corner from St Mark's Square and near the Doge's Palace and Basilica. The proximity to the water bus stop is another highlight for convenient transport. Rooms are often described as clean and well-renovated, with some offering charming views, though a few guests have noted the small size of the elevator and noise from the street. Many rooms provide amenities like a tea kettle and comfortable beds.

poorly maintained room unhelpful staff
The location was acceptable, near many points of interest.
I was very disappointed with the room. It was smaller than expected and not well-kept (the air conditioning made a loud noise every few minutes), and the bedding felt rough. the staff was unhelpful when I asked about nearby attractions, lacking any advice.

Okay Location, Shabby Room

thin pillows tiny room
This hotel's location is alright, close to transportation. My room however was pretty bad. It was tiny. I struggled to fit my suitcases anywhere. The bed seemed like sleeping on concrete, and the pillows? Paper thin. I could hear every single person walking up and down stairs. I don't recommend it.

Excellent Location and Friendly Service

great location friendly staff clean room easy arrival
The location is great. I walked to st mark's square within minutes. The water taxi stop is just outside making arrival easy. The staff helped me with directions and recommendations, and they were always very polite. The room was cleaned every day, which I appreciated.
The breakfast choices were a little limited. I did find enough to eat each morning, but more variety would have been nice.
