Namrata, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and convenient property for solo traveller exploring Venice. Central location, easy to get to by ferry from Venezia S. Lucia train station (30 minute walk is a bit tricky due to nature of Venice streets/bridges, but manageable if no accessibility concerns). Amazing bakery (‘Venice Bakery’) nearby, had best panini and pastry I’ve tried in Italy so far.
Georgia, 2-night trip

Great location.
Ernest, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Checkin was lovely and helpful. She gave us our room early. The maid provided a fan. Great shower, bed. Excellent location right on a square with many dining choices. However, pretty noisy at night- at least until midnight. Bring white noise. Didn’t add on breakfast. The room and choices seemed cramped and crowded. Breakfast was available at downstairs cafes.
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice property, as described. Nice to be in the middle of a square with many shops and restaurants around. Staff were friendly.

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient to water taxi, freindly, helpful staff. We rspecially like the support provided by Ellenia.
Rick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the location of this hotel. It was very easy to get to via the Vaporetto and Google Maps. Many food choices within minutes, close to canals, and just a few minutes from the square. My room was clean, the air conditioning worked, and there was a mini refrigerator. I had a single room but after a long time of traveling throughout Europe, it was nice to have my own bathroom/shower with a hairdryer! I would stay again.
Jill, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay!! We enjoyed the convenience of the location, breakfast in the morning and friendliness of the staff
Emma, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location just off San Marco Square. Easy access to vespetto stations, gondola stations, San Marco Basilica, Doge Palace and the Rialto area is a short walk.
Anne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not luxurious, but very clean and comfortable. There is no elevator, so be aware if you are travelling with folks with mobility issues that they will have to use the stairs unless you get a a first floor room
oscar, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good Stay but not good visit

The hotel is great overall, but the area is not good full of visual trash, Venice is not well maintained and too many pick pockets around. very and truly unfortunate!!
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for 1 Night
Matteo, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect location. It's really convenient and close to all the most important places to visit. Comfortable room with a lot of space even for a single room. Only drawback is that the air conditioning didn't work properly in my room on the second floor and it was really hot inside the room. Other than that, I'd give it a 10 and would definitely stay there again.
MARIA PILAR, 6-night trip

Great hotel. A little ways from taxi drop off area but not bad to walk to.
