Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had spotlessly clean and large rooms, with a lovely atmosphere and warm feel, despite some noise in the morning. However, the strong smell of damp due to patches of mould and mildew was a significant downside. The service was excellent and helpful, especially Elana at reception. The location was convenient, being close to major attractions like St Marks and Rialto Bridge, but lacked cover during rainy weather. The dining experience offered plenty of delicious options, with a nice view of the activities outside. The facilities were sufficient for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is conveniently located right on the square, offering spacious but noisy rooms filled with mosquitoes. The service is top-notch with helpful and efficient staff. The central location is perfect for exploring Venice, with easy access to attractions. The dining experience is satisfactory with a continental-style breakfast. Overall, it’s a decent choice for a stay, but noise levels may be a concern.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were super comfy and had a beautiful view onto the church and square, with a canal at the side, giving me a true Venice experience. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to help with everything, including carrying my heavy luggage to the 4th floor. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and surrounded by lovely local restaurants. The dining experience was delightful, offering a wide range of delicious food. I couldn't have asked for more during my stay.
The hotel's rooms were basic, but tidy and had all I needed for a short stay. The piping hot water for a bath was a nice touch. They were bigger than average, although slightly overcrowded. The location was perfect, situated at the side of the building looking down onto quiet shops. The service was exceptionally friendly, kind, and helpful, with staff even carrying our bags up to our rooms. Dining was described as amazing and the facilities were top-notch. The only downside was being far from the canal.
This hotel is a gem set in a lovely square with charming views of the church. The rooms are spacious and beautifully renovated, providing a comfortable stay. The service was impeccable, with helpful recommendations and polite staff. Its location is superb, being equidistant from major attractions like St Mark's and the Rialto Bridge. The breakfast, while satisfactory, could use a bit more variety. Overall, a great value for a relaxing stay in Venice.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean, but the fold-down beds weren't the most comfortable for a one-night stay. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect, close to St Marks Square and the Rialto Bridge. The dining experience was good with a variety of options. However, there was some noise in the morning, and the room was a bit small.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms overlooking Santa Maria Formosa square and the church were lovely, providing an interesting view. Unfortunately, the room felt too small and uncomfortable for our family with a 13-year-old child, and the layout was awkward and poorly designed.
I woke up every morning to the irresistible aroma of freshly baked pastries from the kitchen below. The room had a lovely lounge, small kitchen, beautiful bedroom with a fantastic aircon unit, and a modern, spotlessly clean bathroom. The experience was top-notch, but unfortunately, we missed out on having a view.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast offered a variety of choices. The service was exceptional, from the helpful staff to the room service and housekeeping. The location was ideal for exploring the center of Venice, and the dining experience, though satisfactory, could have been better. The facilities met my expectations, providing a pleasant stay overall.
Our stay at the hotel was fantastic! We enjoyed a spacious room with a lovely view of the church and square while feeling cozy in the warm atmosphere. Everything was clean and suitable for the season, making our accommodation pleasant. The only downside was the limited dining options, especially the vending machine coffee.
