Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had lovely rooms with balconies opening directly onto the adjacent canal, but the converted office or storage room feel was not ideal. The service was very clean, but some staff members appeared unapproachable. The location was fabulous, central to everything needed but quite noisy. Dining had limited choices, and the food was a bit disappointing with a dull room ambiance. Overall, the hotel offered value for money with excellent facilities for exploring the city.
The hotel's location is superb, close to major attractions like the Rialto Bridge and St Mark's Square. The rooms are classy and comfortable, although on the smaller side compared to other hotels in Venice. The service is generally friendly and helpful, with a few minor hiccups. The dining experience offers decent food but lacks variety. The hidden and peaceful square location adds to the charm of this hotel.
The hotel is in a prime location close to local attractions and provides warm, clean rooms despite the aging decor. The service is a mix of unfriendly encounters but highlighted by one welcoming staff member. The dining experience falls short with bland food and unvaried options. Location makes up for it, offering easy access to key spots in the city.
The hotel had rooms with high standard but felt oppressive due to wall-to-wall wood paneling, beneficial for cooler temperatures. The service was very helpful and the faces at the front desk were lovely and kind. The location was fabulous, central to everything in Venice, with easy access to St Mark's Square and the islands in the lagoon. The dining experience lacked variety in food, but the Indian dishes were nice. Overall, a good option at a reasonable price.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The room, although clean and cozy with a comfortable bed, felt old and in need of some updates. Unfortunately, there were no elevators, so be prepared to haul your luggage up the stairs. The breakfast was below par, with limited choices and only one staff member tending to it. On the bright side, the hotel is in a fantastic location, close to major attractions like Rialto ferry station and San Marco square.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a Venetian flair with modern accommodations but appeared older and more run down than expected from the photos. The service was helpful, including a free water taxi to Murano, but it’s unfortunate they had also fallen victim to a scam. The location was convenient, close to major attractions but down a dingy alley. The dining options were varied, with great staff but disappointing breakfast. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
