Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were modern, but some were noisy. The service was helpful, but some areas were underutilized. The location was fantastic for exploring the city but was close to more expensive dining options. The dining experience was weak, and there were limited options. Overall, it was a good value for the money with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious with a big bathroom and a large balcony, although mine faced the back of the building, offering tranquility but no view. The service was friendly and helpful, although the breakfast area was quite small compared to the grand rooms. The location was fantastic, close to St Marks Square and easy to reach from the vaporetto. The dining options were decent, but the menu remained unchanged daily. Facilities were satisfactory, but there were areas that could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and spacious with a great view of Venice. The service was helpful and to a good standard. The location was convenient for exploring Venice, although the dining experience could have been better. The hotel offered some nice facilities to enhance the stay.
The hotel had rooms that were old, shabby, and in need of renovation, not like the pictures online. However, my room was very large, clean, well-appointed, and beautifully decorated. The service was excellent, with everyone being very friendly and accommodating. The location was superb, just a short walk to St Mark's Square, offering a picturesque Venetian experience. The dining experience was simple but adequate. Overall, a mix of dated rooms but with great service and an unbeatable location.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and cozy rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and a great location near St Marks attractions. The dining options were a bit limited, but overall, it was a place I would recommend.
The room was spacious with a terrace, the staff was really friendly and helpful, but we had a few minutes' wait for breakfast one morning. There was a weird smell upon arrival, which was a bit off-putting. Overall, a good stay.
