Fodor's "This 16th-century palace inn has lined its Gothic windows with tiny white lights, creating an inviting glow that's emblematic of the hospitality and sumptuous surroundings that await you inside." Full review
Rough Guide "This extremely plush four-star residenza, a few metres upstream of the Rialto Bridge, is one of the best small hotels in the city."
Time Out "In a 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal, with views over the Rialto bridge, Al Ponte Antico's exquisite little balcony overlooks the water, as do some doubles and suites." Full review
OysterUpscale

Lonely PlanetTop choice
"A smiling host greets you at the padded, golden reception desk and whisks you up large, unabashedly lavish rooms with enough gilt to satisfy Louis XIV." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A joyful pastiche of Venetian style both in its bedrooms...and in the central living room which gives on to a delightful balcony with a view over the Grand Canal and bridge." Full review
Afar Magazine "We've stayed at the Hotel Al Ponte Antico now three times, and love it for the staff and location but the highlight is the patio: sitting out and having cappuccini in the morning and wine at sunset." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Once you recover from the surprise that staff magically knows your first name from the moment you arrive, you’ll be bowled over by the décor." Full review
Frommer's "Yes it’s expensive, but this is one of the most exclusive hotels in Venice, steps from the Rialto Bridge, with a private wharf on the Grand Canal—to indulge your James Bond fantasy, look no further" Full review

Frommer's "Just off Piazza San Marco on the street leading down to Harry's Bar, this luxury hotel may be Venice's oldest inn, converted into a hotel from a convent in the 1200s." Full review
Concierge "The "location could not have been better—literally steps off the Piazza San Marco" at this hotel."
Insight Guides "Countless refurbishments mean that it does not look its age, and as part of the Baglioni group it now has all modern extras to go with its traditional luxuries."
Travel + Leisure "A 900- year-old palazzo—the oldest in Venice—located steps from the Piazza San Marco." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A recent addition to the Baglioni Hotels group, this sophisticated and surprisingly spacious hotel once hosted knights en route to the Holy Land."
Time Out "In a 15th-century palazzo, this hotel has little remaining period decor, with the exception of the original frescoes and stucco decorations in the conference room." Full review
Star Service "Amid Venice's most fashionable shops and prominent art galleries, 100 meters from St. Mark's Square and next door to the Hotel Monaco, this is Venice's oldest hotel, dating from the 11th century." Full review
Jetsetter "Hand-painted frescoes, Murano glass chandeliers and objets d'art combine at this 12th-century Venetian palazzo." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler88.4
"A private canal makes for "a remarkable arrival and departure experience" at this hotel, the oldest in Venice and the closest to St. Mark’s Square." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Just steps away from St Mark’s Square and tastefully decorated in gorgeous Venetian colours and fabrics, expect lagoon luxury at prices that are a tad lower than other nearby five-stars." Full review
