Italian at heart
Charming hotel on St Mark's Square
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive. Breakfast was great, with fresh bread, croissants, pastries, eggs, cheese, and meat items. Can request for cappuccino. Room is clean. Room by the street can be noisy if window is open. Many gondolas in the back of the hotel. Can have water taxi take you directly to this hotel.

Fair deal for the price
A barely average facility with "so so" staff and no amenity but a good daily full breakfast buffet with a good variety of items and its great location made it a good deal for the price. It's right by Piazza San Marco, 10 minudte walk to the water bus terminal and easy access to everywhere. Recommendable if you are looking for a practical and economic trip.

Short walk from hotel
We sat down for a beer and soda in San Marco Square and it cost us about $32 US dollars. Have a drink right around the corner at a stand for a reasonable amount.

Phenomenal location
We stayed here on the second night of our honeymoon - our room overlooked the lagoon, filled with gondoliers. Incredibly romantic and historic hotel.

The hotel has an excellent location
The hotel has an excellent location and good service. The place for breakfast is tight and with limited varieties. The rooms have a traditional manual key operated safty deposit boxes (not electronic). The hotel lacks entertainment facilities including absence of internet facility. I think it is over priced!

Great Location on Piazza San Marco!
The hotel is next to Piazza San Marco. Great location. We had 2 rooms located in the new annex. The room were recently renovated, tey were very clean. The A/C was very good. We had 3 day vaporetto (boat Bus) passes, which we got when we took the vaparetto near the train station. The vaporetto line stops are alog Piazza San Marco. We used the vaporetto to go: up & down Grand Canal, Murano, Burano, Rialto bridge, and anytime we got lost we found Gran Canal and took the boat back to piazza San Marco. We visted, Sam Marco Basilica % museum, The Dodge palace & museum, went up San Marco Bell tower. Rialto bridge, Santa Maria Gloriasa dei Frari Church. We took many walks and visited many other churches. In Murano se visited, the glass museum, the church nearby,glass blowing exebition, shopped and had a great seafood luch at a local trattoria.

Food & wine is expensive in Venice when compared to Florence. To remain on budget we had dinner away from San Marco square.

First trip to Italy
Not all that great.
It was okay. The location was great. The room that we stayed in was small. Only one drawer to put clothes in, had to have mine in the luggage the whole time. Bathroom shower was really small.. I barely fit and Im petite compared to my husband. Staff in the lobby was sometimes friendly. Breakfast could have been better or had some variety to it. Bed was hard and stiff. Do not open windows.. people are loud outside. If you only care about sleep and showering, then get this hotel, if you want to something more comfortable then get a better hotel.
