“Handy to Train Station”

The hotel was a short walk when we arrived in Venice, right on the grand canal. Our room was in the second building, very tiny, very pretty, with a view of the wall across the alley.

The hotel was a short walk when we arrived in Venice, right on the grand canal. Our room was in the second building, very tiny, very pretty, with a view of the wall across the alley. But it was quiet, very clean and comfy, and served all of our needs. Breakfast was good. We didn’t find the room safe, but our friends told us afterward that it was in one of the armour “drawers.” The staff was very helpful. No complaints at all, I hope to go back.

“Great location”

This was our first place to stay after arriving on a long flight from the U.S. We shared a water taxi with 3 other couples that took us directly to the dock near the hotel - very convenient.

This was our first place to stay after arriving on a long flight from the U.S. We shared a water taxi with 3 other couples that took us directly to the dock near the hotel - very convenient. Our room was ready when we checked in and we were happy to have a place to relax before heading out to explore the city. We were told when we checked in that breakfast each day would cost 60 euros/person, but if we signed up at check in it would only be 10 euro/person. Well of course we preferred the latter option. And their breakfast buffet was really good and substantial. Our room was OK; it was small and we had a view of an alley, but it was clean & the bed was comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is the location. In our short stay we walked everywhere (and with more time there we would have also used the vaporettos to explore even more of the area), and we were very close to the train station when it came time to depart and head to our cruise embarkation location in Trieste.

“Good location and breakfast -- not much else”

Great location, at the top of the Grand Canal, close to St Lucia train station, and close to water taxis to the airport. The room was very small and cramped. The bathroom was tinier than most European bathrooms. There was barely room to get into the shower. To get to the room from the lobby and … more

Great location, at the top of the Grand Canal, close to St Lucia train station, and close to water taxis to the airport. The room was very small and cramped. The bathroom was tinier than most European bathrooms. There was barely room to get into the shower. To get to the room from the lobby and restaurant you had to go outside, across an alley. (And it rained the whole time were were in Venice.) The breakfast buffet was nice, with good variety. However, the own dinner we ate at the hotel was awful. We actually went out to dinner again later that evening! We didn't interact with the staff much. When we did, they seemed more interested in staying at their computer stations than in talking with guests. It's tough to find decent rooms in Venice at an affordable price. But, we would try somewhere else next time.

“Average Hotel, Good Location”

We stayed for 3 nights with breakfast, our booking was for a superior room with canal view. Hotel is located about a 10 minute walk from the glass bridge entrance to the city.

We stayed for 3 nights with breakfast, our booking was for a superior room with canal view. Hotel is located about a 10 minute walk from the glass bridge entrance to the city. Our room on the first floor faced onto the Grand Canal, it’s a good view and you can easily while away an hour just watching the boats going about their business. But at night expect a bit of noise as there were always boats operating through the night and early morning. The room itself was OK but I wouldn’t describe it as superior and the €300+ per night paid can only be justified by presuming most hotel rooms in Venice are priced high. Breakfast was OK but it can get crowded in the dining area ( top tip take you breakfast and sit in the bar area where it’s quiet). Staff were polite enough and the hotel was pretty clean, towels were a bit worn out in the bathroom though. We didn’t utilise the bar or restaurant apart from Breakfast so can’t comment on that. There are plenty of places to eat in the area. For a tourist stay in Venice the hotel is well situated to explore the city and access transport to the islands and mainland. Popular with tour groups.
