Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a beautiful view of the Grand Canal, making it a lovely location to experience Venice. The room was small but with a fantastic view, even though it required some effort to access. The hotel is situated conveniently to explore the city.
The hotel had a charming antique-style decor that blended perfectly with the atmosphere of Venice. The rooms were spotless, inviting guests to socialize and share experiences while also featuring a clever quiet fridge. The location was praised for being conveniently close to main transit hubs and attractions, although having to pay for WiFi was a downside. The dining experience was enjoyable with a range of tasty options, and the facilities were well-equipped.
The hotel had a lovely, albeit small, room with a nice bathroom, though it was a bit noisy at times. The service was helpful, and the location was ideal near transportation hubs. The dining experience was limited but served in a pleasant courtyard. The facilities were satisfactory for a short stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, with a view of the Canal, had a touch of faded grandeur and was suitable for a short break, although a bit noisy due to water traffic. The service was a bit inconsistent, acknowledging helpful staff but also encountering some rudeness and distraction. The location was convenient, close to key transportation hubs, but the dining options were limited. Overall, it offered a unique experience with both positive and negative aspects.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were kept clean and descent, and I appreciated having my own A/C and heating. However, the service was just okay, not the friendliest I've encountered. The location was convenient, especially being near the airport station, but it needed some maintenance. The dining experience was satisfactory, though it could use some improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and nice, but on the smaller side, with the highlight being a lovely canal view. However, the bathroom was decent in size. The hotel was very busy during my stay in October. The service was decent, with staff being helpful and friendly although they seemed more focused on promoting their own gondola tours. The location was great, right on the Grand Canal, offering beautiful views and within walking distance of the rail station. Unfortunately, the dining experience was below par, with limited and sometimes odd food choices. Overall, it was a decent stay, with some highs and lows.
The hotel has a charming old-fashioned style with clean rooms overlooking the grand canal. The location is fantastic, making it easy to access the train station. The service was friendly, but there were a few issues with the dining experience. Overall, a place with character and a great location.
I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were quiet and central to everything, although the bathroom was a bit small, it had all the essentials. The decor with brocade silk wall coverings was really nice. The service was friendly and helpful, except for one staff member in the evening. The location was awesome, right by the Grand Canal and close to public transport. The dining experience was basic but sufficient. Overall, a convenient and pleasant stay.
