Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite having a small kitchen, were disappointing with a shower full of waste that required navigating multiple floors. On the positive side, the lobby offered a cozy spot to enjoy watching a game with other guests.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean enough to accommodate my extended family of 8, but lacked some modern conveniences like a good hair dryer and a better shower setup. The compact size made moving around a bit challenging. The service was decent, but there were some instances of unhelpfulness and rudeness, affecting the overall experience. The location, however, was excellent, just minutes away from the main square and with elegant surroundings. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a good breakfast spread to start the day. The facilities, though not extensively detailed, seemed to meet basic expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite small and in need of renovations, which made them feel dirty and musty. On the bright side, the location was perfect, only a few minutes from San Marco Square, the heart of Venice. However, the prices were on the higher side, especially for food and drinks.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional in many ways. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and offered stunning views, exceeding my expectations. However, the cleanliness standards were lacking, especially in the bathroom. The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff willing to assist with anything. The location was fantastic, right next to St Mark's Square, providing easy access to all the attractions. The dining experience was superb, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a bit small, had lovely canal views. However, being in a separate building made it inconvenient to reach breakfast or reception. The service provided, despite some initial stress, turned out to be very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was surprisingly quiet, which was a pleasant surprise. On the downside, the dining experience was not up to par, with repetitive and poor-quality options.
The hotel's rooms were more like one-bedroom apartments equipped with essential amenities, but the layout required some stairs and elevator navigation. Although the location was superbly close to the tourist hotspots, the staff's service had some mixed experiences. The dining options had some drawbacks despite a convenient room setup.
The hotel's location is right behind St Mark's Square, making it central to all the sights in romantic Venice. The rooms, though a bit small, are like an apartment behind the hotel and offer a unique experience. The staff is extremely helpful, but the price for certain items like beverages and pasta meals might be higher than expected.
The hotel offers small rooms and bathrooms in need of renovations. The separate apartment, not initially disclosed, required walking along an alleyway to access the breakfast room. Despite these drawbacks, the common area provided a cozy setting to enjoy shared activities with fellow guests.
