“Small but perfectly placed Hotel in Venice”

This Hotel is small but delightful in terms of it's old world vibe and decor and it's in about the most central location in all Venice.

This Hotel is small but delightful in terms of it's old world vibe and decor and it's in about the most central location in all Venice. Perfect to get a water taxi to from the airport and for a speedy departure. A few minutes walk from The Rialto Bridge and St Marks Square etc. Our room was delightful but the bathroom smelt strongly of disinfectant - which we assumed was a hazard of canal living. Breakfast was a little spartan but the coffee was good!

“Perfect location”

Quaint hotel with easy access from the canal (only one bridge to cross with suitcases from a shared boat transfer from the airport). Really comfy bed, breakfast basic but decent enough.

Quaint hotel with easy access from the canal (only one bridge to cross with suitcases from a shared boat transfer from the airport). Really comfy bed, breakfast basic but decent enough. Eggs, bacon, continental options. Small issue in bathroom that shower door opened on to bidet so we had to be careful getting in and out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was able to get a water taxi from right outside. 5 minutes walk to Rialto Bridge, no more than 15-20 mins walk to any of the main attractions. Overall a very good stay.

“An ok, mid-range choice for Venice.”

On the positive side, this hotel is very centrally located - it’s about 20 minutes easy walk from St Marks Square, less than 5 minutes from the Rialto bridge and about 5 minutes to the nearest vaparetto stop. It also has a dock right out front if you decide to get a water taxi. The rooms are very… more

On the positive side, this hotel is very centrally located - it’s about 20 minutes easy walk from St Marks Square, less than 5 minutes from the Rialto bridge and about 5 minutes to the nearest vaparetto stop. It also has a dock right out front if you decide to get a water taxi. The rooms are very clean and the daily maid service was efficient. All of the staff we encountered were extremely nice and extremely helpful, and very responsive whenever we had questions or issues. On the less positive side… there’s a lot of steps in this hotel. There’s a long stairway from the street to the lobby and potentially more stairs again to get to your room. The hotel is a warren of hallways. It’s ok, but a real pain if you have bags, and I would not recommend it for elderly folks (there are no elevators). There was only one key provided for the room, which is very annoying when there are four people. Our family of four stayed in a junior suite. The layout was a bit odd and felt quite cramped - the section with the two single beds had a pretty low roof and a window which looked onto the square outside, which was noisy at night. It was also weird that there was a closet in the room which was locked and not accessible. That felt like something you’d see in a short term rental. I asked for an iron and ironing board and was told I couldn’t have one because “they are not allowed in Venice.” Ummm… really? Breakfast was ok, but if your rate doesn’t include it, I would not pay extra for it. Overall, this hotel probably offers good value for money and it’s possible that if you stay in a different room, you’d have a much different experience. My wife liked the hotel more than I did.
