Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had clean and quite spacious rooms decorated nicely in traditional Venetian style. The service was nice and helpful, and the hotel was tucked away, providing a quiet atmosphere at night. The dining experience was awesome with a generous buffet. The facilities offered were satisfactory.
The hotel provided clean and comfortable rooms but needed a little renovation. The service was welcoming and accommodating, though some staff members seemed unfriendly. The location was very good for sightseeing, and the dining experience was average with basic toiletries in the bathroom. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and cosy, perfect for the winter months, but it did get quite hot at times. The service was friendly, and they were more than happy to assist with our luggage. The location was brilliant, close to everything you need in Venice. The dining experience was mixed, with a great start to the day but lacking some promised facilities in reality.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. Although the service was a bit unprofessional, the rooms were spacious and well-equipped. The location was perfect for exploring the city, but the dining options left something to be desired.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be conveniently located near St Mark's Square, offering easy access to many attractions but lacking modern updates in the rooms. The staff was initially accommodating but a bit challenging, especially for those with mobility issues. The dining experience was pleasant, featuring a good continental breakfast.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were wretched and a bit challenging to access for us as a couple of a certain age without a lift, but they were adequate. The service was really polite overall, but we encountered an old man who didn't provide good customer service. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the action, and made our stay worth every cent. As for the dining options, they were good with some delicious classic European breakfast choices. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.
