Review summary
Based on recent reviews

Hotel Canal & Walter boasts a prime location, especially convenient for those arriving by train, being just across from the train station and near the Grand Canal. Many guests appreciate the Venetian decor touches in the rooms, such as silk wallpaper and chandeliers, and some rooms even offer delightful views of the Grand Canal; keep in mind that some rooms may be a bit on the smaller side. A buffet-style breakfast with a variety of options is typically included, making it a good value, and the hotel is also close to a supermarket.

A Touch of Old-World Charm

great servicebeautiful canal viewclean roomuncomfortable stairs
The service I received was wonderful. Lisa greeted me warmly at the lobby. She tried to ensure my stay was special. The canal view from my room added a beautiful touch. The room was clean and the included breakfast provided a great start to each day.
The hotel layout presented some issues. To reach my room, I had to exit the hotel foyer, walk around a corner and enter through an alternate entrance. This area of the building seemed somewhat worn. The stairs were also somewhat difficult to navigate with luggage.
