Location was great with a canal view and a great little restaurant. Pretty close to the Vaporetto Salute stop. Staff was not overly friendly, make sure you buy water for the room. You definitely get the feel of old Venice with this hotel. Stayed 2 nights and that was perfect.

For the price and the peak period we visited in, this place was reasonable. We booked the main building which is clearly much better than the other building. It has ‘faded Wes Anderson’ vibes and has definitely seen better days. That said, it’s an excellent location in a quiet but central location for the vaproretto and there’s a well priced sandwich and coffee shop very close and a good supermarket within a 5 minute walk. It’s Venice and you shouldn’t be spending much time in your hotel room - so with that in mind, it’s fine.

Room was cold, registered it was set at 30 C but it was super cold, hot waster was iffy and bed was broke. Buildings in Venice are super old but this one was just ok. If you just want a place to lay your head then it’s ok. It was clean just needs a little TLC to bring up the experience. I would probably stay someplace else next time. When I checked out there was someone else that was requesting a different room.

Main areas were quaint but room needed new furniture (veneer coming away from chipboard), new mattress (sagging in middle), new carpet, new wall paper, new bathroom and a lick of paint (damp patch on ceiling). Food in the restaurant was nice and very good value (guests receive 40% discount). Overall a good budget hotel for Venice, just needs a little freshen up.

The TV didn’t work and it would have been nice to watch some news. The shower water was warm to cold. Expedia indicated a continental breakfast available but that is extra. The room was quite small and our three beds took up the entire space, but I was fine with that, as I wanted three beds. Great location.

There was always hot water and the bed was comfortable enough to sleep in, but ir was to metal framed beds pushed together and not comfortable to share with my partner. No WiFi in the rooms, Tv stuck in Polish so couldnt understand the menus. AC seemed to work when it wanted making the room comfortable about half the time. The bathroom was down a narrow tuled corridor which was slippery when wet. It overlooked the canal which was nice though.

This was the worst hotel stay ever. We had 4 days of no hot water. There was no manager at the hotel. The receptionists just shrugged their shoulders. Refused to call management. Kept saying a technician was coming to fix it. In the end we went to another hotel. Otherwise the place was seriously run down and shabby.

The hotel has a great potential. The staff is very polite and helpful, but the rooms need major renovation. Bathrooms are in poor condition as well as carpet. Internet is barely working, we tried to watch Netflix but it constantly got disconnected. We enjoyed the hotel’s restaurant. Food was good and ambient atmosphere was pleasant. We would stay in this hotel again, but as I said they need to update showers.

We only stayed 1 night and appreciated the friendly staff allowed us to store our bags until the 3pm check in time. We were not happy with the AC being stuck on 16 degrees all night. We tried to find the control for the heat pump/ac and discovered in the morning we hadn’t lost it- but all the ac boxes are controlled by the hotel and maintenance needs to change it. A very cold night for tired travellers. Aside from this the hotel was cute and staff were friendly

This is a very nice old hotel. The staff were all very nice. We arrived late, and the dining manager allowed us to order some food to take to our room. My problem is with the reservation. I requested a room for 3 & selected a triple room. When we arrived, the staff said they received a reservation for only 2 people, so I had to pay for an additional person + the tourist fee. It cost me nearly $75 more for the exact room I had reserved.

They advertise WiFi but in our "wing" of the property there was NO WiFi. The heater AC had NO control. They had to send someone from the staff to turn it on or off or to adjust the temperature. Bed was okay. Bathroom okay. Touch control lamps next to the beds turn themselves on and off during the night. Location was convenient. Hotel has a restaurant and food was just 3 stars.
