The hotel is perfectly situated, right between San Marco Square and Rialto Bridge, making it an ideal base for exploring Venice. The rooms are compact and could use some updates, but they do come with very helpful amenities. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Dining offered a good variety, though a vegetarian option would have been appreciated. The location is central to all the attractions, allowing us to easily wander around while enjoying a peaceful atmosphere.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room had a view of the small canal from the third floor, and I even had the pleasure of enjoying a rooftop balcony at no additional cost. The breakfast was rich but a bit expensive. The service was top-notch, particularly Sylvia, who made sure everything about breakfast was just right. The location was perfect, right by the canal near San Marco square. Dining was a delightful experience with a great buffet selection and scrumptious coffee.
