Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly positioned between Rialto and St Marks Square, making it convenient for exploring Venice. The rooms were on the small side and a bit noisy but provided good value considering the central location. The staff exceeded expectations in helping with various requests, although the dining options were limited. Overall, it's a great spot for experiencing the heart of Venice.
The hotel had a great location, close to San Marco Square and Rialto Bridge, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were smaller than expected but decent, although noise from the street was a downside. The service was excellent and very accommodating. The dining was good but sparse, offering a typical continental experience.
This hotel was a gem! The rooms were spotlessly clean and so comfortable, with a lovely view of the canal. The service was top-notch, welcoming and caring. The location couldn't have been better, close to all major sights and with a peaceful canal view. The dining experience was beyond amazing, offering a fantastic breakfast to start the day. An overall fantastic stay!
