Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a fantastic location just 5 minutes from Piazza San Marco, offering charming traditionally decorated rooms with canal views. The service is top-notch with friendly and kind staff, although the dining experience could be enhanced. The hotel facilities are basic but clean and authentic, providing a genuine Venetian experience.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, right near San Marco square and the Rialto bridge, making it easy to explore. However, the room was a bit cramped and lacked a nice view. The service was mostly great, except for one instance of impoliteness. The dining experience was average, with some highlights like fantastic pastries but limited options overall.
I must say, my stay at this hotel was overall delightful! The rooms were lovely, spotless, and made daily, although the shower was a bit quirky in our room. We only had one small window with no view but always found a table easily. The service was very nice and helpful, especially when we needed directions to the third floor; it made our stay easier. The location couldn't be better, being very central and quiet, just a stone's throw away from St Mark's square. The dining experience offered lots of options for a B&B, which was lovely in an intimate setting. The facilities were top-notch, contributing to a pleasant stay.
The hotel room was beautiful and very clean, though a bit small for comfort; however, the high ceilings helped. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay enjoyable despite the small room size. The location was superb, within walking distance of major sites in Venice, and the dining experience offered enough variation amidst modest options. A positive experience overall with minor room size constraints.
Despite some drawbacks like cramped rooms facing a small canal, the hotel's superb location near St Mark's Square and the Rialto stands out. The service had a mix of kind and not-so-polite staff members. The dining experience, overlooking a canal with Gondolas, lacked diversity, though the homemade pastry was a highlight.
The hotel has a traditional look and overlooks a canal, offering a unique experience. The rooms were a bit dated but comfortable. The service was exceptional with a boutique feel. The location allowed easy exploration of Venice, despite some confusion due to the narrow pathways. The dining experience was adequate, with delightful options available. The hotel facilities met expectations, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
