Palazzo Paruta

Location was only few minutes walk from Rialto bridge. Easy to get to all the main attractions.

The hotel does not advertise any photos of their standard rooms on booking.com however advertise their suites as well as what looks to be a smaller room (which is actually the bedroom Of their suites) allowing you to assume that is the standard room. When comparing photos and prices online with other options in the area, it looks to be the best value for money however once we got there we were shocked on how small and uncomfortable our room was. Bed had no bed side tables but a wardrobe on either side making us feel claustrophobic. The bathroom was tiny and there was no working fan in the room with 26 degrees. We ended up being way too hot, opened the window over night and got lots of mosquito bites. When questioned the size of room which was not matching what was advertised online and for the price we paid, the reception staff replied with ‘we can’t have every rooms photo online, this is our standard room and only way for a bigger room is to upgrade which will cost you more’ The room was really unbearable so we decided to upgrade paying even more to the already very expensive and not value for money bill. The upgrade was worth it and more reflective to the few we paid. Really spacious suite with an amazing king size bed and jacuzzi room. Breakfast was again not value for money. The breakfast offer was literally bread, couple of cheeses, cakes and fruits. We arrived 45minutes before breakfast was closing to find half of the trays empty, no croissants, eggs, ham or cheese left. Overall very poor breakfast for what is meant to be a four star hotel! We were very very disappointed with our experience, something that we are not used to with booking.com as we travel a lot. I would not recommend, it felt like an absolute rip off.
