Hilton Molino Stucky Venice

So here's a sensible review for people travelling to Venice and to counter a few silly reviews which are unhelpful. 1. The staff are perfection and make the stay a delight. 2. The Pool is clearly labeled on the hotel website as needing to book 2 hour slots so everyone can use it. Not reading the website and then getting emotional in the reviews is not anyone's fault except your own. It's beautiful and the best view in Venice you could ever hope for. Ensuring booking means everyone can experience it. If you want full pool days Lido is close just stay there. 3. For my lovely American friends please remember Italy had cities of over a million people when Americans were still hunting buffalo. It's not a great look for for you to demand special treatment just because you are fed a line that Americans know best. One chap was yelling that they wanted a deckchair and didn't feel that the rules applied to him. Just enjoy being somewhere different (that's not all of you, lots of you are beautiful people) the ones I'm speaking to know who they are- well actually they probably don't and that the issue) 4. If you want to moan about how much money everything is then don't book a 5 star hotel. Is it expensive, hell yes. Is it worth it - yes. Ok so a few soft drinks will cost you $15 but there are cafes and bars 5 mins away walking, just venture outside, Venice is exciting but it's not a bargain holiday. 5. The views are beyond incredible, Venice isn't new so you get the view you get but just walk outside and you get the best view in the world and it's free. 6. The hotel is on an Island- for this that haven't done their home work Venice is mostly water and all islands, you have to get boats. The hotel boat is amazing and very frequent, but boats and quite slow (and Venice is busy so at times they may be a tad late) just chill and enjoy the sights while waiting. 7. Charging €15 euro is a bit weird for me, just include it in the price of the room far easier but it's cheap and so who cares. 8. The breakfast is amazing. Best I've seen anywhere. A few people complaining about the price but it's well worth the money. As for not doing a quite coffee option, jeez you are in Italy a country more addicted to caffeine then anywhere on earth, just walk outside it's bloody everywhere 9. The rooms are beautiful, the hotel is beautiful, the staff and wonderful, the boat drivers are polite and if you can't be bothered to learn a bit of Italian (and you should) they all speak English 10. For the grumps that moan about the smells. Venice is water, water gets a bit smelly sometimes, if that bothers you Verona is close and also nice, they can't do anything about the smell so no point in telling people it's smelly, it's also wet they can't do anything about that either. This hotel is amazing. And I wanted to defend that polite staff that have to deal with the nonsense. If you are a sensible person you will love it. If you want more stay in the Cipriani ( It will cost you $2000 a night then you really can moan about the price 🤣🤣)
