Breakfast area on the rooftop was an unexpected, but great benefit. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful for navigating a new city in an unknown country.

Ben United States of America

Very nice staff at the reception and breakfast. Provided us with lots of tips and answered all our questions patiently :) Our room was even nicer than on the pictures - loved the drawing on the ceiling. Quite spacious as well. From our perspective, the location was perfect as we could walk from the arrival point with the bus (only approx 10min) and then another 10min to famous sights. So we were able to cover all distances by walking. And it was much quieter than in the more touristy spots. Also loved the Chet Bar which is not far and the restaurants nearby. Another pro was the increased COVID-19 safety due to temperature measuring at check-in and breakfast changed from buffet to staff collecting your orders and handing over the prepared plates.

Nice location in Venice . . . conveniently half way between parking garage/rail station and St. Mark’s square. Quiet area:

James United States of America

The room was clean, comfortable, quiet location, Carlo was very helpful. We had an early flight, so we were not able to have breakfast.

Marilou United States of America

Beautiful interiors. Murals on the walls and ceilings. Felt like spending the night inside an art museum or church. Modern bathroom with shower spacious enough for two. Amazing upstairs lobby. Good lighting. High ceiling. Palace architecture. Above average breakfast. Waitress was very nice.

Anonymous United States of America

The view of the Venice canal and location to popular Compos with restaurants,gelato shops and plenty of people watching was a plus. The bed was comfy prefer a top sheet though and the room a comfortable size.

Anonymous Italy

The room was spacious and bright and clean. It had a kettle and fridge and bottled water free of charge.

Ruth United Kingdom

The hotel is perfectly located, staff is lovely, the common parts of the hotel are gorgeous, 24/7 reception which is convenient.
