Location was great.. walkable distance to the city center and most tourist spots you could think of, the staff are incredible accommodating and even let me in the room early like 2 hours before check in time... my only issue was the internet. I worked well in the hallways but would disconnect about half an hour after I’m in the hotel rooms. Also the elevator though it works well, it is quite small.. so if you’re a big party.. it may take you several trips to get everyone up. Other than that definitely worth it

It is indeed an unusual property, a very old-fashioned, one-floor hotel on the third floor of a building which houses other businesses. For clients not accustomed to this type of family-run hotel, it can seem a bit unusual yet it common in many Italian cities.. The check-in is a man at a small desk, not a counter. There is then one corridor and the rooms. My room was very clean, quiet, very good air conditioning, great water pressure/shower, comfortable bed. The man at the desk, the proprietor was very nice and helpful. The building and facilities are old, to be clear. The location is at the edge of the historic center beyond Piazza San Marco, at Piazza Libertà, a well-car trafficked area. There are a few restaurants nearby. For clients wishing to stay in the more beautiful center, this hotel seems remote although is is only a 10-12 minute walk to Piazza Duomo on Via Cavour. It served my purposes of a 3-day stay for work. The wifi was typically weak but it functioned. The elevator is also old-fashioned, quite small, typical of old buildings in Italy In all, in spite of the slight strangeness of the place, it was a good stay with no problems. Thank you.

Do not get this hotel. Find something else

Horrible not clean no available pillows limited towels. Noise until 20:30 in our door. Employee building a closet right by our door from 15:00 to 20:30 shower head broken. Bathroom’s door broken. TV not working. No available water or drink. Smells horrible. It was not clean at all. Electric and plumbing exposed. Elevator not working. You need to go up 3 floors by stairs with luggage. When elevator working only one person or two to use. Very dirt building. Reception was not nice or helpful. But a lot of sorry all the time but not effective. Others Guest complaints about not haven’t water for shower. Terrible place I will recommend to be out of there. Oh overthere was a construction around the area (not hotel fault but nevertheless nothing is done to minimize a bit of situation or advise you of anything, well if can call it a hotel very badly managed by amateurs, if expressed your disappointment the receptionist will yelling at you and expressing intimidating words toward you, also there no way to take our luggage near to hotel after you find a parking yourselves and dragging your luggage about 200-300 meters away because parking around is not permit only to local residents. And the construction make unbearable and dangerous to yourselves. Immediately find another hotel is my recommendation

2 çift olarak farklı 2 odada kaldık. Bir oda duble diye geçiyordu. Diğeri ekonomi diye geçiyordu. İkisinde de küfler, tozlar çok yoğundu. Çalışanlar çat pat İngilizce konuşuyordu. Kötü değillerdi ama bize çok yardımları dokunmadı. Otelde sivrisinek sorunu vardı. Odamızda gece boyunca birsürü sivri vardı. Genel olarak aslında pek memnun kalmadık bu konaklamamızdan.

En la página se decía que se cobraría un impuesto de 2 euros por persona y por día y al momento de llegar se me cobro 3 euros, el encargado de la recepción eso si es muy amable. Por otro lado el wifi no llegaba en la habitación que me encontraba y las toallas no se cambiaban a diario. Pero en general por el precio esta muy bien ya que tiene baño privado y televisor. Además la ubicación esta bien.

A small old basic hotel in a walkable distance

The hotel is on the 3rd floor (a different hotel on the 2nd floor). You can either take the stairs of the tiniest lift I’ve ever seen in my life. If you’re travelling with suitcases or little kids with pushchair, you won’t fit in as you have to physically close the lift’s folding doors behind you. Bathroom I must say is a nightmare, the water was boiling (can’t change temperature) and the drain was blocked. I couldn’t tell anyone the following morning as there was no one at the reception. Location wise is good for backpackers, 10-15 minutes to Accademia Gallery on foot (on the same street).
