Decor a bit faded and tired - breakfast lacked any fresh fruit, but that wouldn’t stop me returning again but I’d expect a more competitive price outside the Biennale Season !

Fantastic location, could not have been better for attending the Venice Biennale- and such helpful staff.

Very hard beds and noisy aircon, but good for the price

Great proximity to Biennale, large room, nice personnel

The toilet in the room was very uncomfortable as it was the one made for a disabled bathroom. It was higher than usual. Although the bathroom was clean enough, it could have been cleaner.

Loved the style of the hotel as it had an old Venitian mansion vibe in a great location, The room's layout was amazinglu spatious and it was well lit. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was also very pleasant.

There was nothing to dislike, but access to tea and coffee or a kettle would be lovely at other times apart from breakfast.

Superb location. Quiet area with lovely bars and restaurants on the doorstep yet within minutes from all the sites. Lovely hotel, spotlessly clean with generous breakfast.

Breakfast is very simple, with a basic selection of bread, cheese and cold meat, along with muesli and yoghurt. Would be nice to add fruit and eggs for more variety. The bathroom was a bit dated and could use some repairs - broken sliding door on the shower replaced by a shower curtain, for example. Wifi was quite slow, especially upload speed is poor. There are guest rooms which open directly from the breakfast salon, thankfully we didn't have one of those rooms, would have been unhappy.

Quiet location close to a park, main street with shops and restaurants nearby, easy to reach central area on foot and other areas by vaporetto. Staff were friendly. Room was spacious.

The location of hotel, close to important points for visit. Big and clean room. Verry nice aria.

A little bit far away from the centre and the stations

The atmosphere of authentic Venetian house

Great location in my favourite part of Castelo. Nice furnishings. Laid back vibe.

The double room we stayed in was bigger, more comfortable and more elegant than we expected. The location, Castello alto (i.e. relatively far from San Marco and the more obvious touristic routes), is ideal if one wants to enjoy Venice's usual, wonderful views but also wants to see how real people live in Venice. Only a couple of steps away from Via Garibaldi, its gardens and the wonderful San Piero in Castello, Venice's first basilica. The night receptionist Mustafa has all the contagiously enthusiasm of the Egyptian people.

The decor seemed a little intense

Nice location close to main attractions and also helpful host!

The breakfast area is very crowded and the choices are a little basic.

This hotel was recommended to us by family members who had stayed there in previous years. This is an old-fashioned hotel in a historic building which ensures a great atmosphere. The location is great, away from the main tourist masses in a area that local people actually live in. Easy walking distance from St Mark's square along the waterfront. And well connected to the vaporetto network at Biennale landing stage. There is a wide boulevard with many shops and exceptional local restaurants that serves mainly locals just round the corner.

Breakfast was poor. Sausage and cheese slicing, bun and croissant. That's all.

Very nice staff and administrator, always ready to help.

Bit of a smelly bathroom.

Great staff, comfy room, excellent location.

Mosquitos but I guess should be expected. However, room windows should have mosquito nets!

Pleasant staff, nice breakfast, comfortable room, perfect location.

The shower was small. The bed was hard.

The style was good. The staff was wonderful. It had much less crowds than the big square.

Drawback is the noise of the Co-op shop on the block stocking up in the early morning as our room was on that side of hotel. Still a good budget choice.

Location is great, away from the main tourist areas and 5 mins walk from the vaporetto. Its tastefully decorated and clean, and good value for the cost. Breakfast was good, staff are all very friendly and welcoming. There's a great choice of bars and restaurants in the main street just round the corner and it's a beautiful locality. It's a good budget choice.

Highly recommended!! The room we stayed in was spacious and neat! Superb++ location if you like to walk in 20 minutes you will be at the st. Mark square, if you want to use vaporetto is 5 minutes walk to Giradini Biennale ACTV! All the staff are very kind and helpful! Reception 24/7, after check out you can leave the luggage as long as you need! We will definitely stay there again!!!

A lot of stairs to climb to get to the room

The room was nice, but the hotel needs a little renovation. It is very quiet and we got a very good sleep after wandering around
