Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Hotel was very expensive at £172 with breakfast for what you get. Room is extremely old and dirty looking. Smell of cigarettes as soon as I walked into the room even though there is a no smoking sign.
Werid rule where you have to hand in your key every time you leave which seems pointless and just an inconvenience if the tills are busy or non staffed.
Main issue is the walls are extremely thin so you can hear everything from the room above you as-well as outside the door and window which couldn’t be fully closed.
Many many more hotels surrounding which are cheaper by a mile and immensely better quality without the hand in key rule.
Overall definitely not worth the money compared to others much cheaper hotels I have visited.
2/10
few-minutes walking to train and water-bus stations to go islands and S. Marco area. Best to get 2 days pass for all. Hotel charges 17 euros more if you purchase Murano-Bruno islands from them. No coffee pot in rooms but quality water is drinkable from faucets. We enjoyed the hotel very much.
Everything was decent. However it’s odd that they still use keys and not cards and the requirement to leave the key at the front desk when leaving the room. Also more importantly the internet wifi was terrible and essentially non existent. This is 2025 not 1975.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was the smallest 4 start hotel room that I saw. Very strange that our 2 rooms had different doors then all other rooms on the floor. Staff was f iendly and very helpful, great location to commute around Venice
I would like a partial refund. On my last night, the hotel lost electricity. I had no heat, and had an emergency spotlight go on all night that was pointed directly at the bed. I did not sleep all night. Also didn’t have water or phone. Couldn’t charge my cell phone. It was unpleasant to say the least. Also the walls are paper thin. Any noise from the street or neighboring rooms woke me up.
Excellent location and stay here. Staff was super friendly and parking was close for $35 (24 hours). Tasty breakfast and comfortable with great shower and water pressure.
Staff was rude. A lady from the restaurant states come out to tell I couldn’t eat from from outside when I was not even in the restaurant part of it. When I asked the lobby if this was a policy, she still came behind me to tell him after he said there was no policy in the matter that her director had said so. After asking the lobby again if I had to go to the street to eat my pizza, they finally let me eat it. Poor customer service
Even though this hotel is dated, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean. Breakfast menu is good. It is approximately 5 minutes away from the train station and 20 minutes of the nice walk to Piazza San Marco.
The hotel needs to be updated. The rugs in all the hallways are so old that it looks dirty no matter how much you clean them. They had random abandoned furniture in some areas of the hallways, which looked terrible. Our bathroom tub had mold on it since they were not cleaned correctly, but everything else seemed pretty clean. The breakfast in the morning was good and the staff was very nice. The location is far from St Mark Square. We walked it every day, but it took 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back. I was fine with it because I like the exercise, but if you don’t want to walk so much at the end of the day, You would have to take the water bus back.
