The verdict

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Set on the quiet island of Giudecca, this converted flour mill offers recently renovated rooms, panoramic rooftop views, and easy shuttle boat access to San Marco. Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds and the extensive breakfast buffet at Il Molino. However, on-site food prices can feel steep, and staying across the water adds extra travel time to every sightseeing trip. 1128122

  • The Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is a great luxury hotel choice in Venice. In fact, for the room price, it's hard to beat! 22
  • With so many rooms to fill, the hotel appears to be making an effort to offer value for money. My waterfront room was almost the size of the 'no view' junior suite I had at The St Regis but was 25% of the price - and the Hilton room definitely had more 'wow factor'. 2

  • The hotel's location was also very interesting. Of all the times I've come to Venice, I never stayed on the outer islands. It kept us away from the crowds of Venice, especially the day-trippers who come and take up space in the small alleys. 12
  • the hotel itself yeah it's it's a nice hotel location relatively good the good thing about it being slightly out the city center is you're across the water you've got some fantastic views of venice On camera2111:45
  • I'm not "crazy" about staying at the Hilton (so-so location and lack of character), but I am also a Diamond member, so I know we'll get some decent benefits. 7
  • The hotel (like most places in Venice) is kind of hard to find and get to. Plan accordingly when you fly in from the airport. 7
  • Yes, we had a suite overlooking the canal, and it was stunning. It's a beautiful property on a quieter island. But it's a short boat away from the most touristy center of Venice. It's a great location from which to explore. 24
  • from a location point of view yeah it's it's not in the center of venice you do have to get either the bow bus or the shuttle boat over to the center venice but it's not far away maybe about 10 minutes on the boat yeah it's it's it's not it's just a lit it's just it it just can make any journey just feel a little bit longer 21
  • The hotel is beautiful, the location is great, and the rooms are very large. 13
  • Located at the end of Giudecca, it's not only a lot quieter and more relaxing in this area of Venice, but it really feels like you're getting to experience life alongside the locals rather than just the tourist hub. 23
  • Located on Giudecca Island, this hotel is across the canal from the main sites of Venice, but I truly think that's a big part of its charm. It's removed from the crowds of inner Venice and way more relaxing as a result. 30
  • Located on Giudecca Island, just a short boat ride from central Venice, the hotel offers a peaceful, almost secret hideaway, while still delivering postcard-perfect views across the water. 28
  • With the hotel's private boat travelling to San Marco and back every 30 minutes or so (costing just €15 for your entire stay), plus a vaporetto stop just a 5 minute walk from the hotel, exploring Venice is incredibly easy from here. 23
  • Literally the best hotel I've ever stayed at is the Gritti Palace and the location and accommodations were superb. 16
  • Some may not like the location, but I didn't see it as a problem. In a way, it felt nice to be away from the main tourist areas (although most parts of Venice felt quiet at night). 3
  • The water taxis pull up right outside as does the Alilaguna. It's a short walk to the vaporetto stop too, which is kind of neat. 24
  • Excellent location right on a big canal. 10
  • Thus, the downside of this location is that you will have to plan a bit more to experience sights like St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace and more - though the hotel does have a handy boat all its own to help with getting back and forth across the lagoon. 11
  • Hilton guests get the peace and quiet of Giudecca with the benefit - which you don't get at the JW Marriott or Kempinski - of being able to walk to an independent bar or restaurant. 2
  • Palmetto0 • 1y ago Yes, we had a suite overlooking the canal, and it was stunning. It's a beautiful property on a quieter island. But it's a short boat away from the most touristy center of Venice. It's a great location from which to explore. 24
Room55 mentions · 3 filmed
  • Being a proper suite, it had a separate living room, and a guest bathroom as well. The decor of the suite was a mix of modernity, historic elements to fit the building, and some slightly outdated furnishings which seemed left over from pre-renovation. 3
  • And if you choose a room with a view, you certainly won't be disappointed. Waking up to the sight of the canal flowing in front of the majestic palazzos opposite, you'll feel like the luckiest person on Earth. 23
  • Somehow, the usual discussion about desks, plug sockets etc seems a bit irrelevant when you've got a room like this with a stonking view. 2
  • All the rooms have amazing views morning, noon, and night and the hotel decor is classic yet old world, complete with artwork, Murano glass pieces, and a really inviting lobby bar. 26
  • Please expound on the Bauer Hotel. Looking to make booking soon. Just wondering what makes it your favorite. Macy My favorite too. The most amazing terrace for sitting at night under the stars by the Grand Canal. 27
  • We'll talk about that later though! We were both surprised and delighted to see that the Hilton upgraded us to an king executive room with a view. This meant that not only did we have a beautiful view of the lagoon, but we also had access to the executive lounge. 8
  • I also loved the armchair near a turquoise table where I could set my things down and have somewhere else to lounge other than the bed. 12
  • Stayed here a few years back - junior suite got gold upgrade to suite. So characterful, rooms have amazing views and it's a little magical. 2
  • At around 70 sq. metres, the King Tower Suite offered magnificent panoramic views over Venice. 5
  • We didn't get a canal view, sadly (all the best rooms were full of celebs for some film festival), but did get upgraded to a sumptutious suite with the nicest finishes/furnishings I've ever encountered. 16
  • In-room amenities included 2 Samsung HDTVs with a good selection of international channels. 5
  • I did love that they kept the Murano glass chandeliers in the room, but they also added additional pin lights so that room never felt dark. 8
  • Overall, there wasn't really anything to complain about the room. It was spacious, comfortable and an upgrade beyond expectations. 3
  • so nice big comfy bed there and then you've got a tv samsung a bit of a work desk going on On camera210:44
  • Got a free upgrade to executive suite as diamond member. It was easy getting to and from the main island with the water shuttle. 24
  • The old flour mill gives it a character which is usually missing from the Hilton brand, and it was a joy to wake up in my waterview room each morning and fling open the windows. 2
  • however we chose not to do that because we wanted something else as part of our room package and this is what we wanted a beautiful view venice On camera213:12
  • The bed is the perfect density, and I loved the multiple pillows per bed. There was a big tub in the bathroom for relaxing at the end of the day, and the room was overall very spacious. 30
  • The suite was also in the classic area and had a total of three rooms and two bathrooms. The bed was very comfortable and we had a lot of space. 4
  • The King Tower Suite is probably one of the best hotel rooms you can get in Venice. 5
  • mosquitos are a problem so the hotel provides plug in repellents in each room. Resupplying the consumables used in them was patchy 2
  • The room's best feature had to be the view. It was such a beautiful place to watch the boats go by and see the sunrise! 9
  • For the size of room, there was a lack of available power outlets. There was a USB port on the left side of the bed, in the clock. But if you wanted to plug anything else in next to the bed, you had to unplug the lamps on either side. 5
  • There's a door that separates the two rooms of the suite here at the Stucky Hilton. There's no escaping that you're in Venice when at the Hilton Molino Stucky. It's just always present in view. I absolutely loved this, even if the decor was a little old fashioned. 13
  • The living area had a separate round dining table, and a sitting area. The red dining table table chairs and living room armchairs looked like holdovers from pre-reno and jarred a little against the more dominant greyish colours 3
  • The wardrobe was on the other side of the entryway, just before the bedroom. For a suite, it was a little on the small side. 3
  • The design of the room felt traditionally Venetian, which only added to the whole exeperience. 5
  • The upgrade to the King Molino Tower Suite was generous and shows how much the hotel values its Diamond guests. 3
  • I was extremely happy with the design of the room-modern with elevated character. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling is definitely what did it for me. 12
  • I loved the roof top bar, room views, and the upgraded suite. 13
  • As you can see, the room is fairly basic, although it's pretty big by Europen standards. The decor is understated, and the exposed beam ceiling and interesting light fixture gave it some personality. 16
  • The minibar was located inside the TV console, together with the kettle. Rather annoyingly, the kettle heating base was mounted to the tray it sat on, which meant having to take out the entire tray including mugs, to use the kettle. 3
  • The corner suite had a perfect view of Venice. 13
  • The bedroom was furnished with a king bed and a work table, with an ensuite bathroom. In the morning, it was nice to draw the curtains and across the Giudecca Canal. 3
  • Sadly I wasn't upgraded to a suite despite my Hilton Diamond status, but they did give us a room on a high floor with a view of the water, so I can't complain. In retrospect, I'd rather have had the water view than the unnecessary extra space of a suite anyway, and it was an added bonus that the window opened all the way. 16
  • Book one of the newly refurbished Deluxe room categories. These rooms are all fabulous, with a warm grey color scheme, wooden floors, and nautical murals, bringing the feeling of the Venice canals into your room. 22
  • We stayed in a King Executive Room overlooking the Giudecca Canal, and waking up to soft light dancing on the water was the stuff of dreams. The room struck a lovely balance between old and new with Murano glass lamps, warm wood tones, and thoughtful touches that reflect Venetian craftsmanship. 28
  • The Executive Room had plenty of storage space between the closet and the dresser. We loved having a table and chairs for in room picnics, which is something we miss at the Hyatt Murano. 8
  • We loved having a table and chairs for in room picnics, which is something we miss at the Hyatt Murano. This is a large room by European standards, and it is extremely well designed. 8
  • and the view as you've seen from our room was just spectacular wasn't it it really was and we could not have asked for a better room with a better view to be fair On camera2112:46
  • As a Diamond, on arrival I was given a letter of benefits, lounge access and a proactive upgrade to a junior suite 2
  • The room was well furnished but one of the rooms had a funky smell in it. Karen said it could be because of moisture and wood all around the hotel structure, but I think maybe it was the carpet !! 10
  • The bedroom had a large, comfortable (soft but not too soft) King bed with two bedside tables, a desk, a luggage rack, another small table and an armchair. 5
  • Since I am a Hilton HHonnors Diamond Elite Member, I was given a room on the top floor (room A603) and access to the executive lounge near the lobby, The room was beautifully decorated and offered a great view of Venice and the passing boats. 7
  • Most have panoramic views across different parts of Venice, as the Hilton Molino Stucky is one of the tallest buildings in Venice. We stayed in a King Molino Executive Suite, an amazing room that captures the afternoon and evening sun. 22
  • The Executive Room had plenty of storage space between the closet and the dresser. 8
  • This is normally the point in my review where I become gushy about how fantastic the room is, but with the Hilton Molino-Stucky, this didn't happen. The room was fine, it did the job, but I didn't want to spend any more time than necessary in it - which actually was a positive as I spent more time out and about exploring beautiful Venice. 17
  • Yes, we had a suite overlooking the canal, and it was stunning. 24
  • The blackout curtains were perfect for keeping out the light, and we were able to set the room temperature as we preferred. 12
  • In the bedroom there is a desk along with the TV. We didn't do any working while on this trip, but it's always nice to have an area to get organized. 13
  • The part we loved most about the room was the gorgeous view. By day and by night, our window framed a vista over the Giudecca Canal, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee of a morning. 1
  • I was given a water from suite with huge dining room so I had massive space for one person with two refrigerators and water views from every location. 2
  • Rooms are spacious and offer a modern interpretation of traditional Venetian decor -- broad stripes, chandeliers, and wood-beam ceilings in some rooms -- and common areas embrace the former 19th -century mill's history. 15
  • The room ticked every box for comfort, and the space felt like a true retreat after a day exploring the city. 28
  • The common areas and the room were immaculate. I never noticed anything out of place wherever we were in the hotel. 12
Food60 mentions
  • Service and food were good. 24
  • Rooms are bigger since it's on its own island and breakfast was solid. 24
  • The dining room and buffet area were actually separate rooms, with only a narrow passageway between the two rooms. This could create a bit of jam when there was a crowd. 3
  • Hot drinks including cappuccino and hot chocolate could also be requested from the wait staff. The quality of coffee was quite disappointing to be honest, lacking body. 3
  • The food quality at breakfast was fine, if a little average. Perhaps the more main disappointment was that the selection was exactly the same for each of the 3 mornings we were there. It was quite boring by the third morning to be honest. 3
  • I suspect a large percentage of guests here are American and will have free Diamond status via their credit card if not from Hilton stays. There is a good selection of eateries here, although it is also worth trying some of the local restaurants a few minutes walk away on the waterfront. 2
  • Breakfast was good, as was the Executive Lounge (for a non-Asian property). 3
  • My favorite part about our stay, though? The breakfast. We were shocked by the layout of Italian pastries, fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared eggs, and even a roasted ham, waffle station, and selection of meats and cheeses. 12
  • When it came time to order, our group decided to just try one of everything on the food menu. The cicchetti, hummus and chips, and charcuterie plate were standouts items for me, but it was all enjoyable. 11
  • The astonishing thing about breakfast at the Hilton was the sheer amount of choices. The spread essentially covers an entire dining room and features everything from hot items (eggs, sausages, bacon, and more), to fruits, vegetables, yogurts, and granolas, to charcuterie and cheese, to pastries (French and Italian), to a chocolate fountain. 8
  • We began with the Raw Beef raised with hazelnuts, mustard grains, marrow, and Chef Deluxe Giaveri caviar. It was insanely delicious and was complimented by fresh baked breads with squid ink butter! 26
  • The dining area had the juices, and surprisingly, Prosecco. Great for those who want a splash of sparkling to start their day. 3
  • Two chairs, which weren't as comfortable, sat on the other side of the coffee table. 5
  • In reality, the canapés on offer around dinner time weren't substantial enough. Overall, great for snacks, but don't expect to leave the lounge feeling full. 5
  • Yes, it's a great property with an excellent breakfast spread and very good executive lounge. 24
  • Ahh nice. We never ate at the restaurant. I usually don't eat much for breakfast, so the lounge food was good enough for me. 7
  • Giudecca is a true Venetian neighborhood and we enjoyed walking the island and having dinner at a local restaurant. It's true that if you want to be in the heart of the crowds then you would want to stay closer in, but we didn't find the shuttle situation to be an issue at all. 19
  • The food in the restaurants was really good. 24
  • The breakfast in the executive lounge was great. Similar food every day, but lots of choices available. 7
  • The breakfast buffet is awesome. Location even more so. 27
  • The buffet spread at Il Molino is exactly how you'd expect a run-of-the-mill European hotel buffet to be. Appreciated the prosecco, though. 29
  • Standard gold benefits from Hilton include free breakfast and the property honored that, too. I don't know that I've ever seen such an extensive hotel breakfast. 8
  • Stayed there during covid and it was an amazing property to be honest.. what i found underwhelming was the breakfast buffet. But I guess this was because of Covid 24
  • Besides serving an incredible espresso martini, we also enjoyed other classic cocktails they offered and some of the menu items! Our final evening in Venice we visited Aromi Restaurant where we enjoyed an incredible couple courses with wine pairings. 26
  • Dinner at Aromi was a real highlight of our stay. It offers a seasonal menu that reimagines Venetian flavours with a gourmet twist, and every dish was as beautiful as it was delicious. 28
  • Besides the buffet, egg dishes such as fried eggs or omelette could be ordered with the wait staff. Sadly the eggs were not at the same standard as the Conrad London we had just come from. 3
  • From the incredible breakfast to the great bar and rooftop spots you can easily do so much at just the hotel before you even hit the streets of Venice to explore. 26
  • The highlight here is Aromi, recently reopened under the command of chef Ivan Fargnoli who spent almost 20 years in China, bringing back a vivid set of flavours that infuse his Mediterranean menu. 14
  • The breakfast in the restaurant is so much better than the lounge. 7
  • kafka-esque14 • 1y ago Yes, it's a great property with an excellent breakfast spread and very good executive lounge. Also having their own private water taxi is super convenient. 24
  • The breakfast buffet is also very comprehensive. From hot options to meats, cheeses, yogurt, dessert, pastries, and beyond, you'll be well fed if you add this to your hotel stay. 30
  • On top of that they serve an outstanding breakfast as well as have a nice spa, treatment rooms, and even a shuttle boat that brings you to the other side of the canal. 26
  • The breakfast buffet is unbelievable, offering everything from vegan peach croissants to freshly made pancakes, fruit, cheese, pastries, doughnuts, Stucky pudding and 'full English'. 23
  • Last but not least, let's talk about one of the top breakfast buffets I've enjoyed in Europe. At its dedicated breakfast restaurant Il Molino, the Hilton Molino Stucky has an entire high-ceiling room devoted to a large buffet spread stocked with everything from exquisite pastries, an array of fruits, made-to-order waffles and pancakes, a honeycomb, a candy bar, salads, fruit and so much more. 11
  • Stayed there during covid and it was an amazing property to be honest.. what i found underwhelming was the breakfast buffet. 24
  • The Stucky would have charged us €30pp per day if this wasn't the case. This was quite possibly the largest hotel breakfast selection I had ever seen. 5
  • Breakfast is free for Gold Elite or Diamond Elite members of Hilton Honors, and of course you can book cash rates which include breakfast. It is a surprisingly smart buffet which is well above your typical Hilton, including a dedicated chef for a waffle and pancake station. 2
  • Great if we'd just come back from a long day in Venice. We wouldn't really recommend breakfast in the lounge as the options were very limited. Breakfast in the main restaurant (Il Molino) offered a much larger selection. 5
  • The food is honestly amazing here and there's something on the menu for everyones taste which I loved. 26
  • We made it back for evening cocktails since we usually had dinner slightly later and there wasn't much to see or do once the sun set. I thought the lounge food variety was quite good for a hotel not in Asia, though of course it would by no means be a dinner substitute. 3
  • Breakfast at Il Molino had a vast array of options making it the clear choice for breakfast, over the lounge. 5
  • The breakfast was also very tasty and the ambience in the breakfast room was pleasant. There was a varied selection of bread/rolls, egg dishes, fruit and much more. 4
  • Interestingly, the chef here developed much of his experience of flavors in Asia, so the food is a mix of Italian with an Asian take. We chose melt-in-the-mouth risotto for the starter, Sea Bass main, which was utterly delicious, and a 22
  • Mark's Square but I can't imagine the view to be much better than this. This hotel does offer a fantastic breakfast spread at the restaurant. We had the opportunity to sample it for 2 consecutive days and we loved it. 10
  • We were so full but I had to try dessert so we went with some Grappa made from Moscato grapes, and The Peach dessert with Dark chocolat 55%, filled with blackberries, chocolate crumble and peach ice cream. This dessert was haven and was perfectly balanced with texture, sweetness, and some bitterness. 26
  • Every dish was tasty and very more-ish, so I'm not surprised this restaurant has been nominated for a number of awards. 22
  • The highlight here is Aromi, recently reopened under the command of chef Ivan Fargnoli who spent almost 20 years in China, bringing back a vivid set of flavors that infuse his Mediterranean menu. 25
  • For dinner, we went to Bacaromi, which specializes in authentic Venetian flavors. It is so good, and the gelato made for a fantastic dessert. This was one of my favorite restaurants in Venice! 30
  • I woke up excited to try the lounge's breakfast! It definitely filled me up. They had all of the English and American options you could imagine. Nothing on the menu however was super exciting but it did hit the spot. 9
  • The food is so fresh, and the options are all exceptional and changing by what they have thats fresh and seasonal, so you can visit a few times a year and try out lots of menu items! 26
  • The breakfast spread was amazing. 24
  • Il Molino is where you take breakfast. It's made up of a number of indoor seating areas, all with access to the extensive and fresh buffet. The buffet is self-serve and well-organized. 22
  • Breakfast was amazing, rooftop bar even better. 24
  • With an amuse bouche and petit fours to top and tail the dinner, Chef Ivan presents you with just the right portion sizes to fully satisfy without leaving you feeling overindulged. 23
  • Breakfast is served at Il Molino and is a complete extravaganza, with a buffet selection that features a candy table, Venetian traditional dishes such as suckling pig, and most everything else you could wish for. 1
  • First of all, can we please talk about the waiter who roused all of us with his renditions of Christmas carols? Is it possible to be unhappy when you have a waiter doing everything he can to bring the holiday cheer? (I think not.) That was, in my opinion, the best part of breakfast at the Hilton. 8
  • Our server, Riccardo, was an absolute delight, helping us to create a sharing dinner that gave us a sampling of local dishes. 1
  • However, the breakfast buffet more than made up for any loungetastic shortcomings. There's a separate room where they serve breakfast, which is divided into an enormous dining room and a separate area where they keep the food. Over the course of our stay, we had four breakfasts each, and we still didn't try everything we wanted to. 16

Bed & Sleep8 mentions
  • After our wonderfully relaxing first day at the hotel and a very comfortable and restorative sleep, we were finally ready to face the masses at San Marco. 23

  • The bed was comfortable and the sheets decent quality. 3
  • The modernity makes the rooms feel homely, stylish, and up-to-date, and the beds are superbly comfortable. I slept like a baby during our stay! 22
  • The bed is the perfect density, and I loved the multiple pillows per bed. 30
  • The bed and pillows were plush and comfortable, making for one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a while. 12
  • The room presents all the conveniences you would expect in a 5-star hotel, it was quiet and the bed was comfortable, I had a great sleep! 17
  • The bed was very comfortable and the comforters were heavenly. 10
Value22 mentions
  • The Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is a great luxury hotel choice in Venice. In fact, for the room price, it's hard to beat! 22
  • I got the Molino Stucky at a great price via Priceline. 19
  • With so many rooms to fill, the hotel appears to be making an effort to offer value for money. My waterfront room was almost the size of the 'no view' junior suite I had at The St Regis but was 25% of the price - and the Hilton room definitely had more 'wow factor'. 2
  • Bottom line - it's just not worth it. We stayed at this hotel for three nights on a visit to Venice. We actually liked being away from the hoards and being able to take a break, while going across the canal at our leisure. 19
  • For a sexy time, I highly recommend bathing in the fuchsia glow of the rooftop terrace. The drinks are predictably expensive, but the view makes up for it. 16
  • From the rooftop pool and bar to the impressive breakfast buffet and those gorgeous, recently renovated rooms, there's no doubt that if I'm lucky enough to find myself in Venice again, I'd be checking the points price for a repeat stay at the Hilton Molino Stucky. 11
  • Hence - its low price for a 5-star hotel. It was a pain to have to take the boat across the canal on "their" schedule to get to Venice Island. 19
  • Redemptions are good value at 70,000 points per night since we'd value these at 0.33p each (£233 / €275) and you will pay well above that in peak season. 2
  • The price of this Hilton Hotel is a bit more demanding, but the price level of hotels in Venice is generally a bit higher. 4
  • Hilton does charge for this service, for your entire stay, it's $8.50 so it's much cheaper than the regular Venice water busses. 13
  • Nightly rates start from €240 based on double occupancy with breakfast included, while Molino Suites begin at €590 per night. 28
  • Initially, we thought this location would make it difficult (or expensive) to reach central Venice on a daily basis. However, the hotel has a great accommodation for its southern location in the form of a shuttle boat. 5
  • At this particular hotel, the breakfast is a very expensive added charge. 20
  • As room prices start from just €200 a night, this hotel offers a really affordable and perfectly placed taste of luxury in one of the most beautiful cities on Earth. 23
  • Now, if you want to enjoy the views and the crafted cocktails, just know you're going to pay a pretty penny for it. All of the signature cocktails were 23€ while the spritz selection was 18€. A bit pricey for an everyday event, but worth it for the experience. 12
  • The spa pricing is very, very, very fair. It's beyond fair. 8
  • Overall, great for snacks, but don't expect to leave the lounge feeling full. This hotel, for us, taking into account the benefits that come with Diamond Hilton Status and a good last minute deal, represented great value for money. 5
  • Aromi was and is closed for renovation, but I never saw a sign of either of these restaurants. We had been slightly tempted to dine in-house on the evening we arrived for convenience, but the menu at Bacaromi didn't appeal for the price point. 3
  • I chose the Hilton Stucky mostly due to the cost. It is the off season, but it's still Venice so the hotel costs aren't exactly cheap. 13
  • Our Departure Board is where we (Andrew and Damon) provide useful travel advice and reviews on hotels, experiences, theme parks, food, transportation and more. We found a great last minute deal, staying at the Hilton Molino Stucky Hotel in Venice. 5
  • But the hotel offers a very good alternative. There is a special boat, which is reserved exclusively for hotel guests and goes once an hour to Piazza San Marco and back to the hotel. The boat really looks very chic and is also very cheap. 4
  • In the end, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The price was comparable to or cheaper than similar hotels, and I loved the location and the view from our room. 16

  • Honestly if I had the dough, I would stay in this suite because the service at this hotel is unmatched and you won't find a cooler space. 26
  • A bellman saw our water taxi pull up at the pier beside the hotel and came out to help bring up the bags, which was greatly appreciated since getting up from the pier required climbing a few steps. 3
  • The rooms and service are first class. 27
  • Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is special because it offers more than just a comfortable base in the city. It gives you a sense of Venice's industrial past, a dramatic waterside setting and some of the best views in town, all wrapped in a property that feels both grand and welcoming. 1
  • For example the great roof terrace with the Skybar. From there you have a great view, the drinks were delicious and the service staff was very attentive. 4
  • the free shuttle bus starts relatively late in the day and only runs to San Marco until the evening when the closer Zattere stop is also served. You will end up paying for the Alilaguna (€9 one way; €16 return) service if you're travelling a lot to the main island 2
  • Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. 24
  • Guests are charged around €10 EUR per person per room at the end of their stay for unlimited use of this shuttle, which offers a brilliant way to get around. 22
  • Venice offers more than enough to fill a week, but the concierge team at Hilton Molino Stucky made it easy to focus on the experiences that mattered most to us. 1
  • Service was excellent in general, starting from the pre-arrival communication and the friendly staff throughout. 3
  • remember up until around 11 o'clock you do have the shuttle boat that holds help of our everybody hotel provides however it's eight euros 50 per person each way each way per ride On camera217:29
  • Within the TV stand is a small fridge. Not a particularly common feature in Europe. It's nice to have though, we can keep a bottle of water cold. 13
  • If you're looking for solid all around service you should pay a visit to the Hilton Molino Stucky in Venice! 9
  • Don't think it had free weights tho but could be wrong Doxie_love2205 • 1y ago We stayed there last may! It was amazing, wonderful hotel, great staff, quick with the vaporetto at piazza San Marco, easy to go to other parts like Murano as well! 24
  • the hotel's shuttle bus is not free. A single charge of €15 is added to your room bill at check out regardless of whether you used it 2
  • I was there with my family last summer- I had problem after problem and the staff was actually incredibly rude and was oblivious to any of the issues. 24
  • The dessert was so beautifully plated as were all the dishes here, and the service is impeccable. 26
  • The pre-arrival experience in general was excellent, responsive to emails and very helpful in answering all my questions. 3
  • The room upgrade we got was fantastic, and the overall Diamond treatment and service were very good. 3
  • From the incredible breakfast to the great bar and rooftop spots you can easily do so much at just the hotel before you even hit the streets of Venice to explore. You'll love all the beauty the Hilton Molino Stucky has to offer including the rich history, the welcoming team, and menus. 26
  • It was amazing tomsee how they had to,remove garbage on boats. It was terribly romantic, on,y thing I was missing was a man, but hotrl,staff were very hospitable to make me feel cared for. 2
  • Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is a large hotel with over 400 fabulous rooms, yet it feels welcoming. 22
  • If you are Hilton Gold or Diamond, you should have access to the lounge. There are always food and snacks available, all times of the day. The snacks were very good and the staff was always very attentive. 7
  • Once I had walked through the hotel doors into the cooling embrace of the air conditioning and welcoming front of house staff, I didn't want to leave. 23
  • The shuttle bus provided is nice and all, but a little silly when the Vaporetto are so frequent and easy to use. 13
  • Not to worry, though, the hotel has its own boat that will shuttle you between the dock out front and St. Mark's plaza multiple times per day. (You pay once when you check out, and it's WAY cheaper than the public water buses.) 16
  • Don't think it had free weights tho but could be wrong 2 more replies 2 more replies More replies More replies Doxie_love2205 • 1y ago We stayed there last may! It was amazing, wonderful hotel, great staff, quick with the vaporetto at piazza San Marco, easy to go to other parts like Murano as well! 24
  • Service and food were good. 24
  • If you want to try and avoid a wait, avoid check-out (11:00am) and check-in (3:00pm). We found the check-in process to be very efficient. They provided us with a schedule of Hilton shuttle boat schedule, which costs 15 euro per person, whether you use it or not. 8
  • Check out is 11.00 and fat chance of getting an elite member extension 2
  • the place is heaving with American Diamonds in medium (extended families) to large groups (cruise passengers) meaning waits can be slow for any front desk needs even with a dedicated Diamond agent 2
  • The Hilton Molino Stucky is a hotel I'd love to return to, if Venice crops up in my travel plans. Lovely rooms, good service and a historic setting. 3
  • Check-in was swift and friendly, and we were soon heading to room 602 in the Arsenale section of the hotel. 1
  • However when checking out, the hotel denied me any points saying I hadn't booked direct (my booking was via a Hilton partner agent). Despite me brandishing their Diamond benefits letter, they still refused. Despite a call from my agent to Hilton to the hotel, they still refused. They wouldn't even provide a bill showing the total room costs to assist me with a retrospective claim to Hilton. 2
  • The sommelier's wine suggestions paired perfectly with each course, and the service was impeccable, attentive yet relaxed, exactly how fine dining should feel. 28
  • We loved the Hilton Molino Stucky. So easy to get over to St Marks on their water shuttle, but nice to come back to the quieter little island with lovely restaurants nearby and the hotel is stunning. 27
  • I have stayed many times, never been charged for using the water ferry and was granted a late check out on the two occasions that I enquired about the possibility. 2
  • The service we received was to a high standard and if we returned to Venice, we'd definitely look at booking this hotel again. 5
  • And, of course, as every woman does, I couldn't help but fall in love with the flattering light around the mirror. (So helpful when doing makeup-or taking the occasional mirror selfie.) 12
  • We were finally attended to by the lone front desk staff. He was extremely polite and took the time to explain the various hotel facilities, breakfast venue and timings, Executive Lounge opening times and the shuttle boat schedule. 3
  • When we arrived we were greeted by the lovely staff, and a really nice nautical themed room. 26
  • Paired alongside were a selection of wines we let our friendly dining manager pick, and he did a really great job. 26
  • If you're looking for luxury, modern amenities, incredible views, and top notch service than this is the hotel to stay at! 26
  • The service costs 15 per person per stay, while the vaporetto stop is just a short walk away. That combination of easy access and relative peace is part of what makes this location so appealing. 1
  • The reception staff were very polite and offered us an upgrade. 5
  • so it absolutely tipped the box in that respect it's just the service element that just has just fallen down just that just a bit yeah On camera2112:55
  • Check in was easy and quick, staff were friendly and helpful. 17
  • The concierge was very helpful, and gave very detailed information on the available options. 3
  • The service here is excellent, too, and bar snacks of olives and nuts could keep you planted on this rooftop all evening. 22
  • The service was incredible throughout our stay. The staff was attentive, kind, and extremely professional. 12
  • However, on the flip side, Giudecca is very calm, peaceful and enjoyable for an evening eating by the water or a nice stroll without the crowds you will find in some other parts of the city. 11
  • Neither me nor Damon had any issues with our internet connection, throughout our stay. There were no issues, housekeeping-wise. The room was cleaned and tidied to a high standard on a daily basis. 5
  • The hotel has a shuttle which runs to Piazza San Marco and Zattere on the opposite side of the Giudecca Canal. The Hilton charges EUR15 per person per stay for this, which is reasonable. 3
  • The fabrics, bedding, and towels are all high quality. The use of different textures offers a modern design, which is quite different than the traditional Venetian rooms at the Hotel Danieli. 8
Bathroom14 mentions
  • The bathroom was surprisingly spacious and included a bidet. 2
  • The beds are very comfortable, the shower and bathroom amenities are superb, and you will enjoy everything this hotel has to offer. 26
  • The guest bathroom had a single vanity and WC. Even though it was just 2 of us, an extra toilet is always welcome. 3
  • The water pressure was fantastic, and we never had any issues with hot water. (If you know Tom, you know that these two elements are the most important in evaluating a hotel.) 8
  • The bathroom was very elegant. Also, the only hotel in our Europe trip that had a bidet in the bathroom. 10
  • The bathroom followed Hilton's familiar polished style, with Crabtree toiletries, an excellent rainfall shower and a separate standard shower. 1
  • The Executive Room bathroom was quite large. The former bathtub has been replaced with a large walk-in shower. 8
  • The bathroom was also pretty big, although the shower really sucked. The water pressure was bad, and the glass partition that keeps water from spraying all over the bathroom restricts the width of the shower, so I had a hard time reaching all my nooks and crannies without banging into it. 16
  • Bath amenities were Crabtree and Evelyn. I would have loved to see an Italian brand like Etro (still love their bath salts!), but this was sufficient. 8
  • The bathtub / shower was great. Handheld shower head was easy to use and had great water pressure and temperature. 7
  • The shower pressure was nice and high and the water came to temperature quickly. 5
  • It's nice to have though, we can keep a bottle of water cold. There are two bathrooms in the suite, the main one in the bedroom has a tub, shower, and toilet. As always, I like having a shower instead of just a tub. 13
  • But the bathroom is where it really stood out! I was so happy when I saw two sinks, one for me and one for my husband, a standing shower, and a bathtub. 12
  • The ensuite bathroom had both a bathtub and shower. Pleasingly, it was a double sink vanity. 3
Noise6 mentions
  • I also really liked how quiet the rooms were. The rooms are located around corners from the hallways, which adds a nice extra level of privacy and soundproofing. 30
  • And next time, I might just spend a day or two not leaving the island at all. There's something magical about this lesser-known part of Venice. Giudecca feels more local, more relaxed, and more authentic - a place where you can hear church bells instead of crowds. 28
  • Bathrooms have handsome antique-style fixtures and include large granite vanities plus upgraded Peter Thomas Roth toiletries. There have been complaints about noise from neighboring rooms and from the canal as well. 15
  • Being out on Giudecca was quiet at night, I really enjoyed getting away from the main islands in the evening. I was a little worried at first about being far away, but in the end, loved it. 13
  • My only gripe was the connecting door to the adjacent room which allowed some noise to come in. 2
  • To get to the historic main districts, a ride on a vaporetti or the hotel's shuttle boat is necessary. While this might feel like a hassle to some, we did enjoy the quietness away from the busy tourist districts. 3
View9 mentions
  • The best reason to visit the Hilton Stucky Venice root top is the view. At night, the lights of the city are such a great sight. 13
  • During our first evening, we enjoyed the unbelievable view from the Skyline bar. This bar is at the very top of the building, and you can sit outside above what looks like a castle's battlements and drink in the views from probably the highest bar in Venice. 22
  • Given its height and island setting, the hotel's rooftop is very popular for both its outdoor swimming pool as well as the Skyline Rooftop Bar thanks to the glorious panoramic views, which are especially mesmerising during sunset. 29
  • The view from the rooftop bar is outstanding. 19
  • The appropriately named Skyline Rooftop Bar is said to be the highest bar in Venice and an excellent spot to take in the view, especially as day turns to dusk. 11
  • This is a large room by European standards, and it is extremely well designed. We loved having a view of the Venetian skyline from our room. 8
  • If you get one of the corner suites with a view it is absolutely amazing. 24
  • Then, there's the Skyline Rooftop Bar, which has a wonderful view of Venice from all sides. 30
  • Looking out the living room area was a perfect view of the famous clock that's perched atop the historic Stucky mill. 13
