This trip was just perfect! The hotel was great and loved the room we stayed in with the windows and our view. Many dining options close by and right in front of the Grand Canal. Staff was very helpful and courteous.

We had two single beds pushed together with a gap in between. The mattresses were very hard and we had uncomfortable sleeps with flat pillows. The external window shutters could not be opened and our room was in constant darkness, and we needed the lights on during the day. There was no kettle or coffee making facilities in the room. The shower had good hot water. We had a bathtub but unfortunately the plug wasn't big enough and the water quickly drained away. There were large stains on the ceiling and the wallpaper. The decor is old-fashioned and worn. The noise level was unreal. We could hear pedestrians, hallway conversations, talking from the room beside us and feet stomping from the floor above. The water pipes made a high-pitched screeching sound when people showered. Staff were mostly unfriendly. Breakfast was okay except for the scrambled eggs which were runny and too salty. The only good thing about this hotel is its closeness to Santa Lucia train station. Venice is wonderful but we do not recommend this hotel.

Avoid at all costs

Hotel was very expensive at £172 with breakfast for what you get. Room is extremely old and dirty looking. Smell of cigarettes as soon as I walked into the room even though there is a no smoking sign. Werid rule where you have to hand in your key every time you leave which seems pointless and just an inconvenience if the tills are busy or non staffed. Main issue is the walls are extremely thin so you can hear everything from the room above you as-well as outside the door and window which couldn’t be fully closed. Many many more hotels surrounding which are cheaper by a mile and immensely better quality without the hand in key rule. Overall definitely not worth the money compared to others much cheaper hotels I have visited. 2/10

few-minutes walking to train and water-bus stations to go islands and S. Marco area. Best to get 2 days pass for all. Hotel charges 17 euros more if you purchase Murano-Bruno islands from them. No coffee pot in rooms but quality water is drinkable from faucets. We enjoyed the hotel very much.

Everything was decent. However it’s odd that they still use keys and not cards and the requirement to leave the key at the front desk when leaving the room. Also more importantly the internet wifi was terrible and essentially non existent. This is 2025 not 1975.
