Hotel located near main attraction Ponte Di Rialto , breakfast room overlooking Grand Canal. Travelled with teenager felt safe and hotel in great location with easy access to all Venice sightseeing. Room we stayed in was beam ceiling and matching chairs wallpaper and bedding- at first glance proper Venetian old style - but I think that was such quirky touch felt like previous century. We loved it . Bathroom modern with great shower. No hairdryer was provided. It was hot July so needs air con as room felt hot - but I think due to building being antic not sure if air con centralised is even possible. No lift so if you are elderly you would have to take narrow stairs - again must be nature of building being built in many years ago . Access to hotel by water taxi or by foot but no car etc . Staff was lovely, breakfast was great . Easy communication with hotel . Space to leave suitcases if needed for late or early check out etc . Overall we had great stay and definitely coming back soon .

If you are looking for a place that is right on the Grand Cana, next to many shops, bakeries, cafes and restaurants and has a charming authentic Venetian feel then this is the place for you. This hotel has a number of rooms of different types we stayed in the junior suite with a view of the Grand Canal We arrived in Venice by train and then took a private water taxi to the hotel, when we arrived, we went to the hotel, the door is on Sturian street a side street from the main canal. The reception area and rooms are on the 3rd floor. Yes, there are over 65 steps and no elevator as this is a historic building and one of the oldest in Venice, but that should not be a surprise to anyone, their main website states and many reviews state that they have no elevator so if you book without knowing this then you have not done your research. For my wife and I (in our 50's) the stairs were not an issue even on the first and last day when we had to carry our luggage up and down, however if you have mobility issues you may want to take it into consideration. In terms of the room, we had booked the junior suite with breakfast included. the room was very spacious for us, when we entered it looked like we had transported back to the renaissance era with the decor and furnishings, we enjoyed it very much. The room a nice double bed as well as a single bed, two chairs, a closet, electric hot water canister with coffee and tea, a TV, a refrigerator r, a good size bathroom and bath and A/C. The room was very clean and was stocked with towels and shampoo. There are two windows with a gorgeous view of the Grand Canal where we enjoyed looking out in the evenings after returning from all the activities and walking in Venice. The room has an old-fashioned key to lock the door which is kept with the onsite receptionist upon leaving and given back upon returning, the main door to the hotel has a buzzer which the receptionist will buzz you in and there is a receptionist 24 hours a day. For breakfast, the breakfast area is right in front of the junior suites, other reviews said it was noisy in the morning however we did not hear any noise and it was nice to open our door and be right in the breakfast area. Breakfast is 7:30-10, there is the standard breakfast items, coffee, fruit, bread, jam, yogurt, juices, cookies, there was also a gentleman that worked there who provided us a plate of croissants and bread and made us omelets or fried eggs, cheese and meat also can be provided as well as cappuccino or espresso. The breakfast area overlooks the Grand Canal and there are two tables that directly overlook it. In terms of location, it is right on the Grand Canal next to the Rialto bridge and next to many shops, cafes, restaurants and bakeries as well as the water bus stations. In terms of the staff, they were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, they are there 24 hours a day, I want to recognize the gentleman that worked the 3rd shift and served us breakfast, he was very nice and helpful. They can help with bookings and such as well. Overall, this hotel is a great place to stay and a great value, it's a historic building with charming rooms and breakfast area, it is a great value, we felt like we were in the movies. if you can climb stairs don't let that deter you, we climbed them about 2-3 times a day and enjoyed our stay.

“Amazing room and Staff will to go extra mile”

I am always leery of booking rooms outside of the USA, but I can tell you I stayed here just one night before a Mediterranean cruise to explore Venice for 24 hours, and I was not disappointed.

I am always leery of booking rooms outside of the USA, but I can tell you I stayed here just one night before a Mediterranean cruise to explore Venice for 24 hours, and I was not disappointed. The staff was amazing, waited for me to check in, and they were very accommodating and family-friendly. They went above and beyond for me as well. I had left my jewelry bag in the hotel, and they called me right away and mailed it to my home in NY.

Stayed here for 4 nights - arrived at 2 am and there were no issues with checking in. We didn’t choose a room with breakfast - however the spread look sufficient and delicious. The hotel is a 2 min walk from rialto bridge. Perfect location! Rooms are clean and good size for 2 people. The only downside (although wasn’t an issue for us), the hotel requires climbing 3 flights of stairs. Would consider staying again!
