The location was really good with only a short walk to the Academia Bridge and there was a water fountain downstairs

“Very disappointed, very dated rooms.”
Baggage store was the corridor. Room had discoloured carpet, badly cleaned bathroom, slat broken on bed. 3rd bed was a very poor quality sofa bed and yet we booked for 3 adults. Wardrobe broken.

“Would not recommend the place.”
Not much, the place is not as advertised, it is in need of TLC, and updating. The staff were not helpful, but are clearly accustomed to complaints from guests. The air conditioner was not on, (we had 3 rooms) and the excuse was that aircons in Venice have not been switched on yet. The room was full of mosquitoes, and other bugs.

“The hotel is small and very traditional, it is old, clean, and we enjoyed our stay there.”
The room was exactly as on pictures, clean, coffee and tea station is on place. Daily cleaning and towels change. mosquito repellents available on reception - but we did not use them. Some paint chips in the bathroom - but with water around it was expected. Location is perfect - not the center, but for 2 EUR you can get short trip on gondola to San Marco if you do not want to walk.

“A perfect stay in Venice”
Hotel is in an excellent location a short walk to the Basilica Salute and the vaparetto stop. Also easy to get to from airport connecting at Piazza Roma and vaporetto line 1 a beautiful boat ride. Hotel was small and traditional style with a good restaurant sitting by a quiet canal. Perfect

“The staff were smiley and helpful. The hotel definitely needed refurbishing. Carpets and paint work faded and dirty.”
Good location but that’s about all
