Expert reviews
“Opened this year after a nearly decade-long renovation, Palazzo dei Mori occupies a discreet 1400s mansion in a quiet passage. The salon and six rooms are decorated in old-world Venetian style, with gilded wood, Murano-glass chandeliers and long drapes.”

All you need to know
Palazzo dei Mori is this totally charming boutique hotel tucked in the heart of Venice, at Calle Muazzo, just near the church of San Giovanni e Paolo.
The building dates back to the late 1400s and used to be the home of the noble Muazzo merchant family. When you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, intimate courtyard (with a genuine 16th-century well!), and a central salon that’s adorned with little frescoes and a trifora window—basically, you feel like you’re stepping into a slice of Venetian history.
The rooms are equally dreamy: they’re styled in classic Venetian fashion, with damask walls, Murano glass chandeliers, and high ceilings, but everything’s equipped with modern comforts—free Wi-Fi, USB sockets, minibar, you name it.
Palazzo Dei Mori
It’s cozy, elegant, and feels more like staying in a historic Venetian home than a hotel.

Felt at home
We’ve stayed in quite a few properties, but this one was by far amongst one of our favourites The 2 female staff that we met were warm and friendly and as soon as we arrived greeted us with a drink. The room was beautiful and very clean and the breakfast impeccable. Will definitely be staying here again

Beautiful, amazing, and quiet
The location is perfect, very comfortable and quiet, make sure to take 5.2 ACTV waterbus to Ospedale from the airport then it’s a short walk (google maps helps a lot). The beds were big and comfortable and the room was very cold (AC was amazing!). I would come back to stay here for the property alone
The food for breakfast could’ve been more accommodating to all but was a decent spread although I couldn’t personally find much

A truly wonderful stay that felt like home
If I could give more than 10 stars out of 10, I would. From the moment we walked into this charming and cozy hotel, it instantly felt like home. We were warmly welcomed by Anastasia, who was not only extremely professional but also incredibly friendly and prompt in all our communications—before and during our stay. We stayed in the Junior Suite, which was spacious, beautifully designed, and had everything we could possibly need. The attention to detail was truly impressive. The hotel itself is in a perfect location—close to everything yet peaceful and quiet. Every staff member we met was smiling, kind, and genuinely happy to help. You could feel the positive energy throughout the whole place. Our entire stay was just amazing, and we are already looking forward to coming back again. Much love, Rana & Emad ❤️

Beautiful hotel and kind hosts
The Palazzo dei Mori was an AMAZING place to stay for my sister and I’s quick trip to Venice! The hosts were extremely kind, personable, and accommodating. They even made us a to-go breakfast box when we had an early train and were leaving before the hotel breakfast service! We also loved the room itself, which was very clean and beautiful. This hotel is located a little far away from the train station, so we would recommend using the Venice vaporetto service to get there (only 9.5 euros), as opposed to a more expensive private water taxi or walking, as we had done.
We loved everything!

Super high rating well deserved!
Absolutely fantastic experience! We traveled with our baby and were pleasantly surprised by how thoughtfully the place has been recently renovated or reimagined—it feels fresh and welcoming. The facilities are excellent and very well maintained. When we asked for a baby chair, they didn’t have one available yet due to the recent setup, but the staff couldn’t have been more responsive or accommodating. They truly appreciated the feedback, and to our delight, they had a baby seat ready for us the very next day. The service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. The staff and facilities made our stay incredibly comfortable. Highly recommended!
Nothing - really perfect. Rating well deserved.

The perfect hotel for a holiday in Venice.
It is decorated beautifully and you really feel that you are in a Venetian palazzo. The team are really welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. It is really easy to access from the airport water bus - no bridges to cross between the bus stop and the hotel. The location is perfect - an easy walk to the Grand Canal and the main sights but in a quiet residential area with lots of reasonable but good quality restaurants.
There is nothing to dislike about the property

Incredible hotel
This property is one of the best hotels I have stayed in all of Italy. The rooms are exceptional, the fact it is a small hotel makes it very personable and quaint. The location is fantastic, it is quiet and peaceful and overall excellent.

So good!
The breakfast. The staff treat you like family! They will do almost anything to make your day wonderful! They will assist you with finding you daily destinations. They made calls for us, mainly because our Italian was non existent. We were in Italy for 16 days and stayed in multiple nice locations, but this place was a treat due the personal and friendly staff!

Staff were very helpful, rooms were soundproofed very well and no cars in Venice so everything was super quiet. Also, the breakfast was very good and there were snacks available throughout the day. Location was good, about 15 minutes walk to St. Marks Basilica and 10ish to Rialto Bridge. Located in a quieter neighborhood away from many tourists and tourist attractions. Would highly recommend!

Amazing hotel! It's quite small, only 6 rooms, and you get truly boutique experience. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated; they even have description of all the materials used in a room. Staff is so friendly and attentive. And the neighbourhood is the best - easy way from the airport by ferry, very few tourists, but 10-15 min walk from all the main attractions. A lot of great cafes and bars in 5min walk.
Breakfast is typical European (pastries and sandwiches), but was ok for us.

Beautiful palace of a hotel - treat yourself!
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, taking the time to point out the local highlights. Breakfast was excellent and the fresh coffee superb. Furnishings were stunning with a merano glass chandelier in our room. Room and bathroom were very clean & the free mini bar was very much appreciated!
Honestly, nothing.

An excellent hotel that I recommend wholeheartedly.
The location is great, close enough to everything you might want to see, but away from the overcrowding Venice is infamous for. The staff were exceptional, all of the team were so helpful, polite and knowledgeable. The room was large and stylish.
The bathroom was not very big.

Blend of historic building and mod cons.
Hotel Review: A Perfect Blend of History and Modern Comfort I recently stayed at this fantastic hotel in Venice, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted and welcomed with a delightful coffee, setting the tone for a truly exceptional stay. The hotel itself is housed in a stunning historic building, full of charm and character, yet seamlessly equipped with all modern conveniences. The blend of old-world elegance with contemporary comforts made for a unique and luxurious experience. The rooms were beautifully appointed, offering both style and functionality, and the service throughout my stay was impeccable. Every detail, from the friendly and attentive staff to the well-maintained facilities, contributed to a truly memorable visit. If you’re looking for a hotel that captures the essence of Venice while providing top-tier comfort, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

Treat yourself to this luxurious boutique hotel!
This place is so elegant- you’re basically staying in a beautiful palace. The room was amazing, large and comfortable. There are complimentary tea-making facilities with pastries and fruit in the common area. Wonderfully quiet and serene. The staff are always helpful without being intrusive, and kindly offered me some suggestions for restaurants and activities. The location is convenient if you arrive by Alilaguna boat from the airport. It’s only a 5 or 6 minute walk from the Ospedale stop. The area is quiet and not very touristy, but with some excellent artisan shops and nice reasonably priced restaurants.
I was a little disappointed with the shower, which was quite small considering the size of the room; however, the bathroom was cozy and warm, and immaculately clean. The location meant quite a lot of walking to get to the tourist attractions and museums. I’m pretty sure I’d still be wandering around lost in the labyrinth if it hadn’t been for Google Maps and GPS!😅 Also be aware that the breakfast is basically continental; slices of ham and cheese and boiled eggs are available but don’t expect an English breakfast. That said, the pastry and croissants are incredible!

An absolute gem in Venice! The hotel couldn’t be more perfect for a weekend escape.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Venice!

Lovely hotel worked perfectly as a base for a short first visit to Venice.
We felt the Pallazo dei Mori was an excellent hotel, tucked away in the Castello district, five minutes walk from the Ospedale vaporetto station or 15 minutes walk from the Doge's palace, if you don't get lost. The staff could not have been more welcoming and volunteered many tips on how to get the best out of the visit. The hotel itself, though small, is beautiful and we would certainly use it again.
Nothing to add.
