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 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.

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 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 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.
