Interesting visit to Venice with a nice stay at this small four-room hotel. Glad to have received communication from Claudio, the manager, so that we could find it and use a code to get in. Very clean, good air conditioning, comfortable beds, other guests were friendly. Were able to store our luggage, although we were charged to do so (other hotels on our trip provided that for free).

Nice, large bed in main room. Also single bed in same room. In kitchen/living room was a nice couch which made into a double bed.
Very convenient place to stay.

This seems more of an Airbnb than a hotel. No concierge or room service, rooms aren't made up each day etc. There was a kettle and coffee pod machine but only one tea bag and pod each which weren't replenished.

The owner was friendly but only there in the morning. Good sized room but was set up as a triple rather than double which meant tripping over the single. Asked the owner if he could remove the single bed which he did the following morning.

The hotel is centrally located about 10 mins from the station and Rialto Bridge and about 20 mins from St Mark's. But the room fronted a busy street and was above a cafe so was always noisy. The cafe owner started preparing for the day at about 6 so no lie ins here.

My experience at this property was disappointing and did not match what was clearly stated during booking. The confirmation showed that I would only owe $12.90 USD for the tourist tax, but when I arrived, the owner demanded €60 in cash. After going back and forth and showing proof on my receipt, he eventually lowered it and I ended up paying €43.50—still much more than what was listed. The interaction felt aggressive, and the owner’s tone was unprofessional.

It also felt like the owner was penny pinching, including charging an extra €5 for my 16-year-old, despite 16 typically being considered a child for tourist tax in Italy.

The room itself also fell short. The bathroom had a strong unpleasant smell, and the bed was old and uncomfortable.Kitchen utensils was dirty.

Claudio is very helpful, he gave us all the information to get around Venice. We stayed at the apartment, good size for the 4 of us, 2 adults and two teenagers. Will recommend this place, and will come back in future.

Property was very beautiful inside. Rooms All clean and beautifully decorated. Claudio greet us for check in and we let the luggage there. Check in is at 2:30pm. They dont have iron that was the only thing I didnt like because I had to change my outfit. But overall very good. You have to pay 2 euro per luggage for storage after check out (is at 10am) Didnt like that either but paid it and it was worth it. Safe place. I was there only for a night but was very peacefull. I will come back!!

Great location, down the street from a water metro stop and close to lots of restaurants and shops. Room and bed were comfortable. Staff is part time, but while they were there they were very helpful, allowing us to leave our bags there since we arrived before check in time. Rooms are up a large stairway and there is no elevator.

I should clarify that this is not a hotel as there is no staff on site or daily cleaning service. The cleaning fee is a cash fee on top of the price paid.

Accommodations were very clean and decent location from major attractions of Venice. People comment on the check in process being difficult, but we were buzzed into the building and instructions were clearly left on the table for us. The only part that was confusing was the first morning, the owner/manager came to our room asking for the tax on a card (as expected) but also a 10 euro cleaning fee in cash only. He acted as if this was required but we didn’t actually request our room to be cleaned before our departure the following day. I’m still not certain this fee was actually required or only if we wanted our room cleaned. Going back the fine print does discuss a cleaning fee but still unclear if they would charge this for a one night stay as part of the built in charge. Not a huge amount of money either way, but I never like surprises.

Pro:
- very central (near to rialto bridge)
- new/modern interieur
- cheap (approx. 90€/night)
- only four rooms in total

Neutral:
- its just an appartment house, no hotel
- no daily cleaning of the rooms
- no breakfast (was OK for us)

Cons:
- very loud from the outside; many people are passing this appartment house and the windows are quite old, so it is very noisy inside (you feel like the people outside are in your room, because you can exactly hear what they are talking)
- the wireless was not existent (tried all passwords written down in the lobby, but no wireless)
- extremely small bathroom, nothing for tall persons like me
- the hotel is hard to find

Mais personne pour nous accueillir. Nous avons du découvrir le nom de cette personne sur la sonnette d'une porte qui était dans la rue adjacente. De plus impossible de le contacter par téléphone.
