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.

I would never stay the hotel: 1. The radiator wasn’t working and there were no remote for the AC. The room got freeeeeezing cold at night to the point that both my husband and I got super SICK! . We had to hug for body heat because the duvet/blanket was bedsheet like thin. 2. I had no way to complain about it because no phone in the room (I’m international so couldn’t call via my mobile phone). 3. Hotel was in 267 but reception was a block away in 216 so did not want to walk in that pouring rain. 4. tap water in the sink had no warm water. Freezing cold water. 5. Bathroom was not attached to the room but down the cold hallway. It was very inconvenient when sick and wanting warm shower. 6. I thought I paid for the view of the canal but instead they gave me room 4 twin beds (we are only 2 people) . Money wasted in wrong room. 7. Shower clogged till 3-5 inches after I rinsed only for 5 min and didn’t wash my hair . Imagine I actually had washed my long hair. 8. The room had stains all over the floor (coffee, wine, blood?) who knows. It was dusty as if it hadn’t been used in months. 9. There was no water heater, tea/coffee, water, iron. I don’t have high expectations from some European hotels. I brought my own tea. But nothing to warm the water when I got sick! 10. It’s kinda far from most touristy sights. 25 min ish walk. The only two good things were they let us check in half an hour early and let us leave our bags for a couple of hours.
