We stayed two nights at the Luna Hotel Baglioni and also enjoyed three other properties in the Baglioni Hotels group in other cities. The lovely and inviting website describes Baglioni Tour, where one can stay over a two-week period in at least three of their properties, for two nights each minimum. It is a great deal, and we were treated like royalty in each property; the others we visited were in Florence, Bologna and Punta Ala. The Luna is a stellar property, with beautiful appointments, restaurant, spectacular breakfast room and impeccable service -- and the location cannot be beat. It is literally steps away from San Marco, from Harry's Bar, and the vaporetto or traghetto stops. We took a very short traghetto ride (inexpensive 'local' way to cross the Canal - a 'gondola ferry') over to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection - a must. We walked to the Teatro La Fenice for an amazing performance of Tosca. The very kind and efficient Concierge, Antonio Massari, managed to get incredible box seats for our group of four. We contacted him by e-mail several weeks before the trip. We procured a gondola right outside the lobby bar for a ride at dusk, and for our return to the train station for a sad departure from Venice, a water taxi picked us up in the same place - making baggage handling a breeze. Everything ran smoothly at the Luna Hotel Baglioni, and the property itself is stunning. It is also on a quiet street. Highly recommendable, and we will return.

We stayed here for two nights in June 2008.

I have learnt my lesson. Trust your fellow trip advisor's reviews!

In view of the short stay I just booked a standard room, thinking "surely I won't care". Wrong. The standard rooms are just a little too claustrophobic. They are nicely fitted out, but there was simply another wall outside the window. We asked to see a junior suite and shifted there. We were very happy with it. It was about 5m by 5m with a small Juliet balcony and appeared identical to that in MissSunshine15’s review below. Nice views over the adjoining garden and the canal.

We did take the advice to get a private water taxi transfer direct to the hotel wharf, and it is a perfect way to enter Venice.

The overall service was excellent, the breakfast buffet was also very good.

What a location!!! Stunning hotel right on S.Marco. Junior suite was very nice and comfortable.Service was what you expect from a boutique hotel...full of warmth and excellence. The dining experience was not that great with the breakfast menu very thin. Room service not any better. However you cant really go hungry in Venice

Overall, loved the Luna Baglioni

This smallish hotel is stunning; if you're in a suite. otherwise, no views, no space and a little cramped. We stayed in a suite for 2 nights - had views of the Campanile and the alley on the other side. The bathroom is stunning in marble and high ceilings (over 3 m high). However, the staff are officious, cool and not interested in finding out what you really want to do. Instead, staff push the free boat rides to Murano (and shopping at certain places). The lobby is small as is the dining area - but the breakfast (which can be pricy at Euro 30 or more) is on the second floor previous 17th century ballroom. Overall, would not have enjoyed stay or not stayed at all if not for the suite.
