Faulty Towers (torri difettose)!

The whole place is run down. The room was pokey, with the ceiling looking ready to fall in. The furniture bed surround was falling apart, I did not feel safe unpacking anything into it, so we kept everything in our bags. The manager was blunt and unwelcoming. The bathroom wsd tiny with a broken shower curtain, and the plug in the sink did not work. When we used the shower in the morning, the whole bathroom flooded and overflowed into the room. The corridoors and everything about the place was in disrepair. Awful.

Me and my party had trouble finding the reception area as the area we were told to go to check in wasn't the reception area. When we called the staff to find out where to go, we talked to the receptionist who did not speak english and couldnt transfer us to anyone who could. By chance we stumbled into the reception area and got our keys. We were told there would be wifi in our room however, there was not. We asked for wifi and they told us to return at 1 am in the morning to talk with them to fix the problem. When me and my party tried to go to the hotel restaurant to use the wifi we were told to leave as they closed their restaurant 2 hours earlier than they advertised. Overall there are so many better places to stay at that this place is not worth your time, money or brain power trying to work with the unhelpful staff. I would never recommend this place at its current state and will never return to the Messner when I come back to Venice.

Half the size advertised

Pictures and description completely deceiving. Rented the quadruple room. No rail on top bunk bed and my daughter was fearful to sleep in it. Hardly any room to walk around the room. Three flights of stairs and no elevator. A complete disappointment. The TV was 10 inches, the carpet throughout the hotel was dingy, discolored and extremely old. Clerk gave us no other option and entire city was booked. Never again!! Have more pictures but could only upload 8.

This property was freezing. We were given a space heater the next night because the heat is centralized. There was black mold all over in the bathroom. The photos must be from 15 years ago or so because the bathroom did not look like it did in the photos. The corners of the floors seemed not to be vacuumed. The sheets were clean and changed each day. I highly recommend eating somewhere else. Their breakfast was €12 and was incredibly unsubstantial. A couple pastries and yogurt was all they had.

Our room was two buildings down from the initial original building where the reception desk/check in was. The man who checked us in seemed very flustered and rushed. He couldn’t answer many questions. Our “full double bed” was two twin beds pushed together with very thing mattresses. The room was very sparse. The shower was good size, but you did have to let the water run a while before the hot water came. But we did have hot water for our whole shower (I know people have complained of water issues. When we were checking in a girl was complaining to the receptionist of no hot water in her room and he had no answer or help for her). We were only in Venice for the night so it was doable for us and for the price. Our room was overlooking the canal and walking distance to a lot of things! We felt safe walking around till late at night. Quiet for sleeping.

This was a perfect hotel for 2 of us. Exactly what I expected to stay at in Venice for the price point. Room was not large but did not need the space. Great area, away from the touristy spots but still lots of places to eat and have drinks. Short walk to the sights. Staff were very kind and helpful.
