It's 100EU, and it's 100% worth it...when coming in from VCE you'll see a desk for http://www.motoscafivenezia.it/ you can pay right at the desk, cash or credit and then it's about a 7-10 minute walk to the pier.

I'm in Venice at the moment, though not on a Danieli budget.

Thought I'd update a couple of prices up-thread.

Private water taxis were advertised for €110 at the airport.

Allilaguna was €15 one-way or €25 round-trip.

I was planning to have lunch at the Danieli just because.

Stayed in danieli while in Venice. Nice place but for $$ they charge there is nothing to write home about.

Bfast for Plats is free ...location on top floor is nice, great view but spread is so so. not worth 52 Euro PP if you have to pay for it.

during our stay service was hit and miss. Water Taxi from Airport to Hotel is 110 euro

The hotel consists of three buildings which are all connected. The one in the middle is the oldest building which was built back in the 14th century. They are doing a great job maintaining old furniture, decor, and structure.

I will skip the access info as it's been covered already and hasn't changed.

Room:
My booking was already upgraded to their Jr Suite in the main building before arrival. Although there was no direct water view, it was a huge room with bedroom/separate study/bathroom, and hallway (yes, within the room). Surrounded by old furniture and structure, felt like I took a time machine to go back to Middle Ages. While they kept old furniture, they also added modern technology such as a big flat screen TV. The floor was slightly inclined (and I proved it by rolling a water bottle) but hey it's part of the beauty.

The bathroom was huge - it was the size of an average apartment bedroom in the US. It took awhile to get hot water, but if you are here on vacation, what's your hurry?

After overhearing my conversation with concierge that it was my first visit, the lovely front desk personnel wanted to give an water view room which became available from the next day. It was a little bit smaller from Jr Suite, but still nice-sized and with more updated amenity, and of course water-front.

Two complimentary bottles of water were replenished daily.

Restaurant:
The restaurant on the rooftop had a breathtaking view - had breakfast while enjoying the amazing view. The full breakfast buffet costs you €52 pp, but it can be provided as your Platinum welcome amenity. The spread looked the same everyday, but it was quite relaxing and enjoyable even if I only had fresh fruit/croissant, good Italian coffee, and the view...

General:
The concierge was very knowledgeable and helpful. Got some good local tips. Well-established Venetian glass companies send their complimentary boats to the hotel regularly from Murano, and you can just tell concierge to hop on one of those.

After their factory tour which is fun, they can take you back to the hotel, or you can walk around Murano and make it to Burano via public transportation on your own pace - nice way to spend extra time to see the outside of Venice.

Other than the rooftop restaurant, you should spend sometime in the lobby, maybe have a drink or two at the bar, and enjoy the historic/glamorous setting as if you were part of it...

Can you give more details on the breakfast please...type of foods and so on.

Flyman,

What category did you book to get this upgrade as plat? Thanks...

Had a one night stay at Danieli during our recent trip to Venice. Got a Luxury lagoon view room, which is spacious and excellent view. Saw they have jr suite and other suite available online, but front desk guy insisted that highest room upgrade for PLT would be Luxury Lagoon View, not any suite. Is that true?

The breakfast buffet at rooftop was really great though.

I have a 2 night award reservation at this hotel in October. The current room type is the 2 twin join as king. The suite night award options avilable to me are Jr. Suite with Lagoon View, and Executive Suite with no view noted. I opted for the Jr. Suite with Lagoon View.

Curious if anyone can opine on whether these two room types are SNA worthy. Also, should I even use the SNA's or try my luck with a desk upgrade?

dingo

It appears that the internet access in the room is wired only; is that correct?

Wireless is available in the public areas; does anyone know if signon is required?

Kind of bummed that we won't be able to use our iPads in the room if it is only wired.

1stClassFamily

Wireless Internet is available for free in the rooms if you are PLT. We were at Danieli in mid June 2012 and had no problem to sign on our iPads.

It wasn't my case. Read my review above.
