Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated behind the San Marco square, offering very cosy rooms that have been recently redecorated. While the room size was adequate, it did not meet the superior category as booked. The location is fantastic, being seconds away from Piazza San Marco, but the plain and dated rooms could be misleading. The dining options were good with fresh and varied choices, though the overall quality was just average.
The hotel location is excellent, conveniently placed between St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, despite being comfortable, had some issues like being too warm and facing a construction site. The service was lacking, with staff appearing cold and unhelpful at times. The dining experience offered varied options but lacked consistency in quality. The amenities and facilities were adequate but not exceptional.
The hotel is conveniently located near a gondola parking space, with friendly and helpful service, but the rooms and bathrooms could be larger. The hotel overlooks a canal where you can access Gondolas easily and is centrally located near shops, restaurants, and water transportation stops.
The hotel had some positives like a clean and daily refreshed room, but the overall stay was affected by the tired and shabby appearance of the accommodations. The service was a mix of welcoming gestures and rude encounters. The location was convenient but challenging to reach in certain seasons. The dining options were somewhat limited, and the facilities did not stand out.
My stay at this hotel was truly fantastic! The rooms, although a bit old, were incredibly clean and had everything I needed. The beautiful view from my room added a special touch to my experience. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely nice and accommodating. The location was perfect, close to all the wonderful sites in Venice. The dining experience was enjoyable, with some views of gondola activity. Overall, a wonderful stay with great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was not what I expected. The rooms were quite traditional and in need of some updating, especially considering the high price of EUR 290 per night. The shower was fine but the breakfast was lacking.
