HILTON MOLINO STUCKY
A curious palace with a breathtaking view of the city offers spacious and modern rooms
This historic hotel, identifiable at first glance, is housed in a restored old mill, a five-minute vaporetto ride from the heart of Venice (also accessible by free shuttle). From the outset, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. When it comes to accommodation, there's no shortage either. The 379 guest rooms and suites are ultra-modern, with all the comforts you'd expect from a Hilton establishment: king-size beds, gleaming bathrooms, TV with Dolby Surround, iPod docking station, etc. Other highlights include a rooftop swimming pool.

Why stay here?
1. You want to pay for an "Executive Room" where the only view is of trash cans and an active work yard from which you can hear the power tools throughout the day. (NB. We had been on the wait list to pay an upgrade fee for a "view" room). We checked in at 3:00 pm and on going straight to the room and calling to complain we were told that no other rooms were available (even though they were offered for booking on the web site for each of the next two nights).
2. If you miss the sound of the power tools you can listen to every detail of the conversation (and screaming) from the neighboring room once your neighbors return for the evening. Apparently, from other reviews, the thin bedroom walls are throughout the beautiful renovation.
3. You want to use or earn Hilton points and/or have status that means you will get a decent room.
4. The aesthetics are very nice.
5. The location is very inconvenient. You are captive to the hotel shuttle (paid for by mere mortals without high HH status) or a €70 water taxi. Sometimes the shuttle is as as much as once every 30 minutes. Sometimes once an hour. If it is full that can mean a two hour wait.
6. The executive lounge is average at very best as is the buffet breakfast.
7. Staff are polite and pleasant.
8. When the pool is open it can only be used for 2 hours a day by prebooking. You may or may not get a predetermined slot. Surely that adds a new exciting unknown to booking your vacation?
9. Whatever we set the air conditioning at, it did not drop below 25.8. (78.4). I have read about this issue in another review. This is early April, I hate to think what the summer will be like!
Postscript: A very strange coincidence .On checking in the App said I had Silver HH status and the receptionist acknowledged that status. Shortly after my complaint to the hotel management about the room, the status was changed from Silver to "Member".
The breakfast served was one the best breakfast buffet we every had, with a lot variety of food.
Secondly, their service is good and staff is very friendly.
