Our take
I recommend it to travelers who want a traditional Venetian stay close to Venezia Santa Lucia station, with an airport shuttle for the onward journey. Genteel rooms, some with canal views, rooftop dining, a cafe and bar and a business center suit couples and business travelers alike, and pets are welcome. An 8.0 rating across more than 2,700 reviews is solid. Anyone wanting a very modern look should look at other hotels.
- If you're traveling with a pet, make sure to request a pet-friendly room in advance.
- Take advantage of the airport shuttle for a hassle-free transfer to and from the hotel.
- Enjoy a meal or a drink at the hotel's restaurant or cafe/bar, especially if you have a canal-view room.

Why guests love itRooftop dining and rooms with canal views, for those who book them, are what I would highlight for families at the Hotel Carlton on the Grand Canal, close to Venezia Santa Lucia station. Arriving by train with children and luggage is simple, and an airport shuttle covers the other end of the trip. There is a restaurant, a cafe and bar, and pets are welcome. The rooms are genteel and classic rather than modern.
