Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located right above a bustling restaurant, making it crowded and noisy at times, with rooms that can get uncomfortably hot. However, the location is ideal, being close to main attractions but still quiet. The dining experience, while okay, was not the best. The service was mostly kind and helpful, with some exceptional staff members, though not consistently so.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautifully furnished and had good climate control, making it easy to adjust. However, the location above a noisy restaurant with late-night activities was quite bothersome. The service was exceptional with a helpful 24-hour reception, though some adjustments in the room were not accommodated as desired.
The hotel room was quite small but very comfortable and clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, booking us a water taxi and providing good customer service. The location is just perfect, close to main attractions yet quiet. Dining was most enjoyable with delicious pastries and coffee, though it could use some improvements. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with minor room size considerations.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were immaculate and had everything we needed, but having a kettle or a central tea/coffee making facility would have made it even better. The climate control was easy to use. The service was lovely and the location was central, although breakfast was a bit thin in parts. The dining options were average. Overall, it was a comfortable stay but a bit overpriced.
The hotel's location is brilliant, placing it within easy walking distance of all major attractions. The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated with Damask wall coverings, offering more space compared to other Venetian hotels. The service was absolutely professional and accommodating, especially after a challenging period of flooding in Venice. The dining experience was excellent, with plenty of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Overall, a great choice for those wanting a convenient, centrally located hotel in Venice.
The hotel is tucked away down a tiny street, offering a nice, quiet corner in the bustling city. The rooms are comfortable and decorated in typical Venetian style, though the air conditioning could be more effective. The service was kind and helpful in providing guidance and assistance. The location is superb, being a short walk from both St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with ample selections but some disappointments. Overall, a charming stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had very traditional and nice rooms, though my request for a canal view was not fulfilled, and the mirrored ceiling over the bed gave a slightly inappropriate vibe. The room was clean, decently sized, but facing noisy air conditioning units which disturbed our sleep. The service was exceptional, assisting with airport transfers and even arranging a bagged breakfast for our early departure. The location was excellent, within walking distance of major attractions like Rialto and San Marco Piazza. The dining was decent but could be improved with more variety. Overall, a good stay with a mix of positives and negatives.
The hotel's location is fantastic, close to all the main attractions. The rooms, though a bit small, are adorned with elegant Venetian furniture. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, especially during busy times, but be cautious about following their directions. The dining experience is satisfactory for a day of exploring Venice with a lovely view. The hotel's facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
