Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room had an excellent view of the Grand Canal and a little balcony, it was overpriced and noisy due to exterior sound. The service, while very friendly and accommodating, could have been improved given the high traffic of tourists. The location was perfect for exploring Venice on foot, but may not be ideal for those who struggle with carrying luggage over bridges. The dining experience was enjoyable, although it could have started earlier for guests with early meetings. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel by the water taxi stop with a great view of the canal, spacious rooms, and an amazing shower. The staff were incredibly helpful throughout, making our time in Venice enjoyable. The location was convenient for the cruise dock, train station, and bus, though there was a minor unexpected charge at checkout. The dining experience was good, especially from the room, offering healthy dishes.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, close to transport options and the historical city center, but there were unexpected charges during check-out. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff aiding with directions and early room access. The dining experience was incredible with a great menu selection, but there were issues with the room temperature and location of my annex room.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were superb, despite initial concerns about noise. The service was top-notch, with some minor inconveniences around renovations. The location was perfect for exploring Venice, with minor hiccups during checkout. The dining experience was excellent, though with room for improvement in breakfast timing. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel is very close to the train, ferry, and cruise ship terminals, but the rooms, although in the new wing, felt over-modernized with too many electronics and gadgets. It was advertised as a 4-star hotel, but it lacked the expected star quality.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, albeit not in the main building, fronted on the street where buses arrived. The service, from front desk to breakfast staff, was exceptional, catering to all needs very well. The location is ideal for easy access to the cruise port and train station, perfect for those with heavy luggage.
The hotel's rooms were a bit disappointing regarding size and brightness, but the cleanliness and tranquility were a plus. The service was helpful, especially with a personal touch. The location was excellent for exploring Venice, and the dining experience was enjoyable. The facilities were satisfactory, adding to the overall experience.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The room had a lovely view of the canal and city, although it was a bit cold at first, even after requesting extra covers. The hotel was conveniently located for easy access from Marco Polo Airport to the city center, perfect for early flights. The service was top-notch, especially when we needed help with a power outage in the room. The dining experience had a great selection of fresh foods with a view of the grand canal, but it could have started a bit earlier for early risers.
The hotel is located in a busy area convenient for transportation, but the rooms were a bit worn and the check-in process had some issues. The staff, however, was extremely helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and energizing, although served in a limited space. A variety of amenities were available, making the overall stay enjoyable.
The hotel had a perfect location in front of Piazzale Roma with a lovely view of the canal. However, my room experience was initially disappointing as the first room had issues, but after a bit of insistence, a smaller alternative room was provided with a moldy smell, which was not ideal.
