We really enjoyed our evening in Venice. This location was walkable from the Venice St Lucia train station (2 adults with one rolling bag and one backpack each), even during the heat wave. It was close to a number of dining options, and allowed us to explore the area. The hotel staff assisted us in calling a water taxi back to the airport on departure, which was an exciting way to experience Venice by water.

The property was very clean and taken care of. The building is a historic older building in Venice and very clean. Great A/C too especially because we were in a heat wave. We had stayed at another hotel in Venice and in Croatia during our trip which were great too. The only thing we noticed was that the staff during breakfast was not warm and welcoming at all. Maybe a language barrier, not sure. But the food was great and the dining area was very clean and the staff was continually cleaning up and restocking items.

From the time we checked in and checked out on our 4 night stay everything was flawless. We were greeted by the lovely Eleanor who was the kindest and most informative young lady. All staff at this hotel are hard working, hospitable and versed in English.
The room was clean, spacious, air conditioning worked well and everything you would hope for to feel like you are in old time Venice. Just be aware, the shower can spray and leak onto the floor. We remedied this quickly by rolling up a hand towel and placing it against the shower panel on the inside of the shower. We stayed in a top floor canal view room and I would highly recommend this, it is part of the experience.
Breakfast is included in your room price and served in a lovely courtyard on the main level. The food was delicious and always fresh. Many items to choose from including juices, milk, tea, many different coffees, eggs, bacon, pastries, breads, cereals, fruit, salad, meats, cheeses, yogurt and the list goes on.

The staff was very helpful with setting up any tours or transfer services when needed. We liked the fact that you could drop off your room key when you left and picked it back up on your return. This took the worry away of losing your room key. We loved the greenery in the cozy court yard and the breakfast provided to start off ones day.

The only complaint or improvement would be with providing a more comfortable bed in the room to sleep in. My wife and I both woke up with stiff lower backs in the morning. We only really slept 4 to 5 hours of sleep tossing and turning trying to get comfortable enough sleep.

We had a good stay overall — the location is great, about 15 minutes walking to the Grand Canal, and only 10 minutes from the train station even with luggage. We did everything on foot, no need for public transport. The breakfast was very nice, with good quality items (bread, cheese, ham, yogurt, fruits, eggs, etc.) and coffee machines. The outdoor terrace was lovely, especially in the evening, and the hosts were always welcoming. Our canal-view room was charming to look out from, and having a kettle with tea was a nice touch.

However, the room itself felt quite old and could use some updates — dated decor, dusty curtains, and a few broken lightbulbs. It was extremely hot inside (even in mid-October), and with no AC available, we had to keep the windows open at night, which meant lots of noise and mosquitoes. The shower setup was also awkward and not very comfortable.

Overall, we enjoyed the location, breakfast, and view, but expected a bit more comfort, especially from an upgraded room.

We contacted the hotel about the 2nd guest and were required to pay an extra $10/nt for the second guest, even though the original price was the same for single and double occupancy. There was a foul smell in the lobby on the second night and morning of arrival. It’s a good place but not great.

Charming hotel in a lovely part of Venice

This was an absolutely charming hotel in a very nice part of Venice with shops, bars and restaurants close by. It was walkable to everything and away from the bustle of St Marks Square. We chose a room overlooking a bustling walkway, canal and bridge which we enjoyed throwing open the windows and soaking up the atmosphere. The hotel has a lovely courtyard and the breakfast was so plentiful that we only needed a coffee and gelato for lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful too. It was great that there was a lift which many of the older historic properties don’t have. The only thing that didn’t make our stay a 5 star one was the room was really tiny and could hardly accommodate our 2 large suitcases and we’d have to step over them and bumped into them when going to the bathroom overnight. Another “plus” was the WiFi was good and there were PowerPoints on either side of the bed, which was large and comfy.
