Hotel Gabrielli Sandwirth  

En lätt ålderdomlig charm, tillmötesgående, vänlig personal och ett litet singelrum med fantastisk utsikt över lagunen samt en underbar takterrass med en ännu mer fantastisk utsikt gjorde att jag fick en semester som jag sent glömmer. Läget är förträffligt både vad gäller båtförbindelser, Markusplatsen och restauranger. Till frukost fanns tillräckligt att välja mellan och man kunde sitta med utsikt över Rivan. Det var också behagligt tyst på rummet. Man hörde förstås båttrafiken genom det öppna fönstret men inte påträngande. Jag kan varmt rekommendera det här hotellet för den som är beredd att slå av litet på komforten och i gengäld få andra värden.

Förutom vad gäller utsikten och en bekväm säng får man nog säga att rummet med hänsyn till priset var torftigt. Ingen radio, fast tv förstås. Inget duschdraperi till badkarsduschen och trångt. Men detta var ett vindsrum som jag fick efter att ha klagat på det som först tilldelades mig och som i likhet med de flesta singelrum hade en tråkig utsikt. Båda rummen var små, om storleken kan man läsa på hemsidan. Det första hade ståhöjd i duschen men för mig var utsikten viktigare!

The location was good with direct access to the pier.

The room was small and dark and very basic.View of next door's wall not the canal or garden (which was a tiny courtyard).Shower unit coming off the wall.Third bed in room was a rollaway which sloped to one side. 2* room at 4* prices.Venice is beautiful but this hotel is not.Stay elsewhere.

Location

Excellent location with beautiful view of the lagoon (from expensive rooms at the front). Breathtaking view from the rooftop bar/sun deck. Close to vaparetto quays, so only 100m walk with luggage.Really close to St Mark's Square and lots of restaurants and shops.

A bit of a 1960/70s timewarp - first class location but generally a bit threadbare and needs to move forward with a subtle (but thorough) refurbishment - for example we asked for toast at breakfast and were told that the hotel (4 star!) doesn't have one. Beautiful dining room on first floor seemed to be used only for the owner's solo lunch. Plenty of faded charm about it though!

The location of the hotel is fantastic. It is within five min walking distance to St Marco and vaporetto stops.

There is no free wifi despite the price which is very high. But the level of prices in Venetian hotels is generally a multiple of their equivalents in other cities.

Staff helpful and friendly. Old feel of the place is interesting. Location is very convenient with a very decent view. Breakfast buffet was good, though maybe limited in range.

Very disappointed with the room - basically ours felt *really* tired, old and generally maintained on a minimal budget. The mattresses slumped in the middle, the furniture was scuffed and a/c didn't work. The finish was sub-par - spartan really - no pictures, decoration or warmth (I'm not even very picky). For this amount of money, to get somewhere that claims 4* and feels 2*-3* is basically upsetting. My guess is the hotel can charge what they want with the location and rely on people imagining that the building was once very grand (but is not really any longer). Either that or this is the best Italy has to offer at this price (it's not!). Few other hotels we discovered on the canals whilst there, were slightly cheaper and much better inside...

The location.

Too simple for The price !

Very nicely located at the lagoon in Venice. Close to Marcus place.

Hotel is very old fashioned and the refurbishment of the rooms is probably some years ago.

Location was excellent. Hotel was very clean and room was spacious with excellent view of the lagoon. The roof terrace also had great view of the lagoon. Staff were very helpful and pleasant.

This hotel is not at all a four star accomodation. Room decoration is terrible, the bed is terrible, and if you don't have a room with laguna view, then the view is terrible. I've been in 3 star hotel in venise closer to san marco, offering better quality for less than half this price. It's a shame the owners don't do anything about this place. Don't go there, only the price is four star.

Great location great staff a great experience I would go back
