The Best-Rated Hotels in Venice
Venice rewards travellers who choose carefully. The hotels listed here have earned the highest satisfaction scores from real guests, cutting through the noise of thousands of properties across the lagoon city. From a modest one-star address tucked beneath a Cannaregio archway to a five-star palace overlooking Dorsoduro's waterways, each property on this list has proven itself through consistent, genuine guest praise rather than marketing alone.
The city's distinct neighbourhoods shape the experience just as much as the hotel itself. Cannaregio offers a quieter, more residential feel steps from the railway station, while San Marco places you at the dramatic centre of Venetian life. Dorsoduro attracts those who appreciate art, tranquillity, and sweeping Grand Canal views. Murano, connected by vaporetto, delivers an intimate island stay away from the main crowds. Whichever corner of Venice calls to you, the properties below represent the best your fellow travellers have found.

Frequently asked questions
Which Venice neighbourhood has the most top-rated hotels on this list?+
Dorsoduro stands out with three highly-rated properties: Hotel Nani Mocenigo Palace, Palazzo Veneziano, and Ca' Beatrice. The neighbourhood is prized for its artistic heritage, calmer streets, and proximity to the Accademia galleries, which may contribute to the relaxed, satisfied guest experiences reflected in the scores.
Is it possible to find a highly-rated hotel in Venice without spending a fortune?+
Yes. Hotel Al Sotoportego in Cannaregio carries a 1-star classification and starts around 130 euros per night, yet it holds a 4.9 out of 5 traveller score, matching far pricier properties on this list. FloVe' Rooms Venice, also in Cannaregio at around 146 euros per night, achieves the same outstanding score. High ratings in Venice are clearly not reserved for luxury budgets alone.
What makes Casa Sulla Laguna on Murano a good choice for a well-rated stay?+
Casa Sulla Laguna earns a 4.9 out of 5 score while offering a genuinely different experience from mainland Venice. Staying on Murano means waking up to lagoon views, visiting the island's famous glassblowing workshops, and exploring quieter calli, all while being just a short vaporetto ride from the main city. For travellers who want high satisfaction and a slower pace, it is a compelling option at around 158 euros per night.
How should I choose between the 4.9-rated hotels in Venice?+
Start with location and what you plan to do. If easy access to the Rialto and Piazza San Marco matters most, Hotel Al Codega and Rosa Salva Hotel both sit in the San Marco district and carry 4.9 scores. If you prefer a residential neighbourhood with easy train connections, Hotel Al Sotoportego and FloVe' Rooms Venice in Cannaregio are excellent. Budget is the next filter: prices among the 4.9-rated hotels on this list range from around 130 euros to over 450 euros per night, so the star category and facilities will vary considerably even when the guest satisfaction score is identical.
