The room we booked was impossibly small and dated. Bathroom was small and worn. We upgraded and paid more for a suite which was newer and nice. It cost €50 more per night in Feb 2025 (off season) The photo I relied on showed a nice bed. Unfortunately that bed took up virtually the entire room. We barely could squeeze in our luggage.

Wonderful stay!

What a lovely hotel and so wonderfully close to everything! Literally one minute from St. Marks Square. And, the breakfast is very probably the best hotel breakfast I have every had. Highly recommend.

Ideal location but not sure how it’s a 4-star rating. Staff were nice enough but not entirely helpful- not mentioning things like where the breakfast is or even the direction to the rooms upon checkin! Biggest gripes were the bed - SO uncomfortable - and the noise. We heard everything from the room upstairs including their television, talking, furniture moving and footsteps, so sleep was disturbed further (once finally able to fall asleep on the bad mattress!). We did always have our bed made and toiletries topped up but minimum expectations of a ‘4-star’ hotel. Breakfast was average, thank goodness included.

The hotel is a block from St. Mark’s Square and about a ten minute walk from the Rialto Bridge. There are many restaurants and shops in the vicinity. The downsides are the condition of the room (needs a reno) and the old-fashioned key which is very impractical. Our adult daughter wanted to stay behind one evening and we had to either lock her in (a safety issue in case of emergency) or leave the key with her and hope she woke up to let us in. The front desk would not give us a second key.

Information about the area

Venice, Italy

Perhaps no city is as fabulous as Venice, a metropolis built upon pilings, a labyrinth poised over a lagoon. Venice has been called the drawing room of Europe, and indeed for centuries the city was a sanctuary for ideas and idealists, a crossroad of the Byzantine and Roman worlds. Today Venice is a different kind of drawing room. Wealthy visitors clamber into gondolas to gawk at the Byzantine palaces while being serenaded by accordionists and art appreciators stand on tiptoe for a glimpse of Renaissance masterpieces. No monument is as memorable as the city itself, so use the major sights only as an excuse for wandering. Venice revolves around piazza San Marco. The best feature of the mosaic-covered Basilica di San Marco is the Pala D’Oro, a glittering gold Byzantine bas-relief. The Torre dell’Orologio, left of San Marco, is a beautifully embellished clock tower. For culture vultures check the Accademia for the best of Venetian paintings. Some say that the tourist Venice is indeed Venice, but there are other Venices as well. To find them, wander away from the major sights and into the quieter outlying residential neighbourhoods, you won’t be disappointed, this maze of stone and colour exudes enchantment from every brick.
