Everyone at this property is super amazing. The staff is fantastic. I had an issue with my flight and they were able to help me contact the water taxis. They were just really genuine people. It’s in an amazing location. Super walkable to the water taxis, but also to the main squares. The rooms are definitely outdated, but they are very clean. I didn’t care that much as I was only staying for two days and I don’t need significant amenities. I think if you’re someone that’s used to having a very updated modern room this might not be the property for you But like I said, it was perfect for what I needed it. My only minor con is that there was a weird smell to my room. I think it may be the water source how it sometimes gives a murky smell. It does not smell like mold. But there’s also a little air freshener that may be what is causing the scent. I am just super sensitive to smells, which is why for me it’s the only small con but other than that it was great. I would definitely recommend it especially for the amazing staff and the location.

There are 2 restaurants across the street from the hotel. Patrons can be loud when drinking at night so be aware of this. Room 2 urgently needs one chair reupholstered and is not useable. Room was very clean and the hot shower was good. Staff are very friendly and recommended Nevodi restaurant (15 minutes walk from hotel) for dinner. The food was very good but if you sit outdoors, be sure to use bug spray since the mosquitoes will bite. I recommend this small hotel with its close location to the center of town! 👍👍

Pleasant stay!

Diego was amazing and offered lots of brilliant recommendations. Arthur also got to play football with a lovely gentleman who we met a couple of times in reception. It would have been great to have a little fridge in the room for Arthur’s milk however all staff were helpful in letting us keep the milk in the bar fridge !

The hotel is in a great spot, and the room was clean, A/C worked great. Staff was kind and friendly! Our room did not have a refrigerator, which would have been nice. Also, there was a strong perfume smell on most fabrics which made it difficult to sleep on the first night. Finally, there are multiple bars at street level such kept us up a couple of nights. Though, if you plan on being out late, that won’t be an issue. Overall, glad we stayed here

Good, but bathroom smells.

Centrally located which is great, but the property is old. The toilet smelled really bad. Sewerage system is also old which I guess means the poo smell comes up through the plumbing. Service was good and they let us leave our bags after check in so we could explore the city.

Small family run hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful with eating/activity suggestions. Great location - close to restaurants and vaporetto stop. Close enough to San Marco, but without the crowds. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Bed was comfortable, shower worked well, as did the air conditioner. Hotel has a lift, which is a bonus in Venice. Would recommend.
