Good location. This was our first time in Venice. Staff was amazing. Room attendant was great. Can’t beat the location. Close to tourist attraction. View of canal was great. You have to leave your room key at the front desk each time you leave. It’s an old fashion key. One less thing you have to carry. It was no trouble at all. Would stay here again. Remember the rooms are small- this is an older hotel.

This hotel is in a great location in Venice. The front desk staff were lovely and they were responsive to our requests. Another plus, the included breakfast was perfect for us. Our room was on the top floor and struggled to cool to a comfortable temperature during our (hot) June visit. Also, the bathroom was not very clean, it appeared there was mold around the tub.

This is a lovely, very clean hotel. Our room had a beautiful little balcony over a canal where gondolas passed below. Morning breakfast is basic but well done and all we needed to get started for our day. The front desk staff was very helpful and carried our luggage up the stairs for us - despite other reviews that complained about this. Excellent location! Would stay here again!
