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

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.

Our stay was ok. There was water dripping from the ceiling leaving a puddle of water on the floor. There was only one towel in the room. We rang for another towel to be brought to our room which took around 40min and several calls to reception. We even offered to get it ourselves. However it was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Very easily located across from the train station and right on the Grand Canal - so not only a big view, but easy access to the island, the vaporeto, etc. The staff were very nice. Breakfast had a lot of options. The rooms are small but this is the norm in Europe. The bed was very comfortable, which is not always the case in Italy!

Great location
We love the location of the property, right along the Grand Canal. What we didn’t like was the room and lack of comfort. After walking for hours we wanted an A/C cooled room with comfortable beds and pillows. The pillows were too thin and soft. The bed was also too soft and would shift on the frame. I don’t mind the “old” look but I do mind it not being kept up. I love the charm of it but it could be better. The A/C would blow warm air and there wasn’t proper ventilation. We had to leave the door open and the window open for fresh air. Other than that, I would recommend this hotel for the location and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Which I think most will not find at other properties. If you’re American, this is probably the best place to stay that’s budget friendly.

Good Place to Stay but bring Bug Spray
Very unique place to stay! The restaurant and the roof top bar are both fantastic! We were there in October and it was pretty nice outside most days and the air conditioning seemed to be turned off for the building. Which wasn't a huge deal as we just opened our balancy doors. This wouldn't have been a huge deal except the mosquitoes. I now have about 20 bites unfortunately which puts a downer on the rest of our trip.

I wasn’t expecting a lot and they didn’t disappoint! This is not a 4 star hotel it’s a 3 at best. We were supposed to get a room upgrade but got downgraded to a dumpy room with no heat and no blankets. The rooms and overall look of the hotel is dingy and ragged. Looks nothing like the pictures. If you have another option I suggest that.

A horrible experience. They haven’t got a clue.
This was probably the worst experience of my 30 year career as a travel photographer. The room still gives me nightmares. No heating or air conditioner. They said it was in between seasons. Had to sleep with the window open and no eye mask, ear plugs or sleeping pill could help to get a decent sleep. No coffee, no tea, no water just 2 miserable plastic cups. A 4 star room that was 1 star at best. I would suggest the manager/ owner see what hoteliers in the 21st century are like. Go to Tokyo, Singapore or Dubai. What a dump of a room. I wouldn’t put my dog up there. Avoid at all costs
