Reviews for San Clemente Palace Kempinski
Wonderful experience and would certainly go back
Would like to take a moment to give this hotel a 5 star rating! The experience was far and beyond our expectations and would visit again. The staff was professional and attentive. The staff was inviting and guest relations took care of everything for us. We felt very welcomed. This is the place to go, I recommend it highly.

A Luxurious and Peaceful Escape in Venice
Staying at San Clemente Palace was an unforgettable experience. The peacefulness of the island, just a short boat ride from Venice, made it the perfect retreat after a day in the city. The service was impeccable, the rooms were elegant and comfortable, and the views of the lagoon were stunning. I especially loved the lush gardens and the beautiful outdoor pool—such a rare find in Venice. It felt like a true escape, with all the charm and luxury I could ask for.

Horrible experience
Firstly, booked a suit, arrived and The very unpleasant man at The reception says that its not paid, when The payment was maid online. Secondly, The same man takes my card and says He will deduct an amount from there . After 30min spent at The reception i was led into my room all stressed and worried. After 20min in my room i called to The reception and asked if all good, they said yes, The room was paid online as i said earlier. Didnt say sorry and was still giving me attitude. Thirdly, on my check out day asked to book a boat at 4am. They said ok. At 23pm they came and said that there will be a fog and they don’t know if the boat will take me to the airport. And he is saying me this at 23pm when I need to leave at 4am. No solution was offered just to take a risk and wait until 4am. Went at 4am at the concierge and there is no boat and no concierge, no one at the hotel. Calling the concierge and no answer. Then after 15min wait the concierge arrived and said the boat is coming. Horrible and stressful experience in this hotel. The reception and concierge guys are really rude.

Beautiful hotel and fantastic service.
The hotel is quiet and beautiful. Service is extraordinary and the staff is very attentive. Housekeeping does an excellent job in keeping the hotel rooms clean and up to standard. But the choices of dinning is limited and the air con is no longer working in Oct, which is the reason I cannot give 5 stars.

A beautiful week in May
We know this very pleasant resort for Years. The location is extraordinary and every day with the shuttle from the hotel to Saint Marco square you enter and discover Venice, a marvellous city. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a beautiful and direct view on the lagoon.We have experienced a warm welcome from all the staff everywhere, at the restaurant ACQARELLO, at the swimmingpool, at the desk... Stay in this resort is the best way to meet Venitian culture and have a good rest after a wonderful day-walk in the town.
