Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is brilliant, close to the train station and Piazzale Roma for easy access. The service was accommodating and friendly, but could improve power socket availability. The rooms, though small and lacking natural light, offered a view of the waterway. The dining was basic but sufficient, and the location was ideal for exploring Venice.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and perfect for a couple, although a bit crowded with unnecessary furniture. The service was a hit or miss, with rude interactions and some going out of their way to assist. The location was convenient, close to the train station but a bit far from main attractions. The dining options were basic but sufficient for a quick meal.
The hotel offers large and clean rooms, although a bit dated, at an affordable price. The service was excellent overall, except for one staff member during breakfast. The location is excellent, within walking distance to all city attractions. The dining experience was varied, with some hits and misses but generally filling. Overall, a good value for a basic but clean stay in a convenient location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel, with some positives like spacious rooms with a view over the Rio Marin, but the tired decor was a downside. The service was exceptional, especially when they found us another hotel due to a leaking room. The location was superb, making it easy to explore Venice, although the view from the room could be better. The dining options were hit and miss, with a lack of fruit for breakfast. Facilities were decent overall.
My stay at this hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, making for a cozy experience, although they are a bit small. The service was top-notch, with staff being not only friendly but also ready to assist at any time. The location was convenient, situated between the station and San Polo, in a quiet area. The dining experience was standard European buffet style, offering a good selection, and the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and lovely, making them cozy in November, but there were some disappointing aspects like the availability of box rooms or those in a twilight zone. The service was friendly and welcoming, which was a highlight. The location was ideal, close to most places and easily accessible from train and bus stations. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel is a mixed bag with small, outdated rooms but a quiet location. The service is friendly and accommodating despite some shortcomings. The spot is ideal, away from the touristy areas, but the dining experience lacks variety. The facilities offer basic amenities, but there are some drawbacks.
The hotel is tucked away in a quiet corner, offering a peaceful night's rest. The rooms are spacious with a lovely view into the enclosed courtyard, although a bit of a trek down a long hallway. The service, especially thanks to Marco, was top-notch, but the dining options left something to be desired. Overall, a decent stay at a good value.
The hotel is conveniently close to the train station, making it easy to sleep. However, the room setup with one twin and two queen beds was unnecessary. The service was accommodating, though not very attentive. The breakfast had a good variety, and the location near Campo Santa Margherita allowed for an authentic Venice experience.
