Namrata, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Checkin was lovely and helpful. She gave us our room early. The maid provided a fan. Great shower, bed. Excellent location right on a square with many dining choices. However, pretty noisy at night- at least until midnight. Bring white noise. Didn’t add on breakfast. The room and choices seemed cramped and crowded. Breakfast was available at downstairs cafes.

Excellent location in Venice
Tom, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the location of this hotel. It was very easy to get to via the Vaporetto and Google Maps. Many food choices within minutes, close to canals, and just a few minutes from the square. My room was clean, the air conditioning worked, and there was a mini refrigerator. I had a single room but after a long time of traveling throughout Europe, it was nice to have my own bathroom/shower with a hairdryer! I would stay again.

Good Stay but not good visit

The hotel is great overall, but the area is not good full of visual trash, Venice is not well maintained and too many pick pockets around. very and truly unfortunate!!
Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not luxurious, but very clean and comfortable. There is no elevator, so be aware if you are travelling with folks with mobility issues that they will have to use the stairs unless you get a a first floor room

Great location just off San Marco Square. Easy access to vespetto stations, gondola stations, San Marco Basilica, Doge Palace and the Rialto area is a short walk.

Matteo, 2-night trip

Great stay!! We enjoyed the convenience of the location, breakfast in the morning and friendliness of the staff
Emma, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect location. It's really convenient and close to all the most important places to visit. Comfortable room with a lot of space even for a single room. Only drawback is that the air conditioning didn't work properly in my room on the second floor and it was really hot inside the room. Other than that, I'd give it a 10 and would definitely stay there again.
MARIA PILAR, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

No air conditioning but pretended to have it , hotel does not have a real AC system, multiple complaints of this in reviews. Ho

Daphne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was amazing! They had a lot of patience with my friend and me. Took time to write back and forth. Took time to find resources for us. The bed was hard. The room was very warm (As an American, I guess I am not used to this warm room). Other than this, overall, it was wonderful.
