Bauer Palazzo is an excellent hotel for a stay in Venice. The location is superb, directly at the Canal Grande, and so close to Marcus Square. You are really in the very centre of Venice. The breakfast is all worth it alone; great buffet, and you can enjoy it at the canal front - with the best view possible, just wonderful... The rooms are beautiful in the historical part, but will need a renovation soon. Hopefully in the same style. We had an incident, but got the best service from the management and an upgrade to a suite. A very pleasant stay, and excellent service.
