    The distance to our room! We were also up 2 flights of stairs then down another, which was a lot after walking around the city all day.

    The staff were very friendly, the room was small but very clean

    We wanted to book a room with a nice view of one of the canals. This was one of our main criteria. The view of our room turned out to be a bit disappointing. We were not sure how the view was like during booking as it was not clearly shown in the pictures of the hotel.

    The staff was very friendly and accomodated us well. The location is amazing. You can quickly reach the Rialto bridge on one side and the square of San Marco on the other side of the hotel. Our room was small, but cute and well decorated.

    It was a great time to stay in this hotel. The staff was very kind and exceptionally helpful. I had a birthday during the stay and the hotel staff, they congratulated me and gave me a bottle of wine as a gift. It was very nice and the wine was very good. Thanks a lot!

    Couldn't get AC to work but with it being March wasn't too much of a problem - maybe they don't turn it on until nearer the summer. We had 2 power cuts while there both in the morning, but luckily we were showered and ready and had had breakfast and were ready to go out, so it wasn't really a problem.

    We had a lovely stay, the hotel was in a good location, comfortable bed, good shower, large bright mirror in bathroom, room cleaned every day, small fridge with drinks in the room, kettle in the room and complimentary tea and coffee, nice breakfast friendly staff. We had a small balcony looking on to a small canal and could watch gondolas passing by. Plenty of restaurants, takeaways and shops around. 10 mins walk to St Mark's Square and also to Rialto Bridge.

    There is no lift or any other kind of luggage transportation to the room, probably because most buildings in Venice are old. We had to carry our luggage up the stairs.

    Excellent location. The staff was very cordial, especially Aurora, who gave us so many valuable tips about restaurants, interesting spots, and vaporetto routes.

    No lift was a tiny bit of a pain but hey.. otherwise all good.

    Staff were absolutely awesome... friendly, helpful.. just lovely. Super location, lovely restaurants near by. exactly as described , gondola stop just by the hotel.. really nice breakfast, plenty to choose from. Hot and cold.. Big pots of tea and coffee.. nice juices. Cleanest of clean bedlinen.. room spotless. Plenty of soap etc. Even folded our pyjamas when they cleaned the room. I am very very fussy about bedlinen.. this was crisp and whiter than white. We will definitely come back again and join in the carnival. Absolutely lovely stay.

    Lovely little hotel yes room was on the small side but it had everything you’d need. Very clean and comfortable staff are very helpful and always pleasant and friendly. Location is terrific literally 5 minutes to either StMarks square or the rialto bridge. Lots of very good restaurants in the area too will definitely go back

    The bathroom was kind of small, it was awkward to get in and out of the bathtub as there was almost no space between the toilet and bathtub. Other than that everything was great.

    Really friendly and helpful staff. Also the whole hotel smelled great, was consistent with the Venetian theme I would say.

    Lovely staff, great location, very clean, comfortable bed, could see the canal from the window, great shower
