Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms had a refreshingly simple and boho feel with vintage wooden pieces, making a unique change from the usual ornate decor found in Venetian hotels. My room directly faced the canal, offering breathtaking views and flooding the room with lots of natural light. However, some may find the rooms on the pricier side.
My stay at this hotel was superb! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Despite some room noise in the morning during breakfast, the size and cleanliness were exceptional. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to help and provide travel tips. The location is unbeatable, right on the Grand Canal and a short walk from key attractions. The dining experience exceeded expectations, offering delicious options. The view of the Grand Canal from the old palazzo was breathtaking. Overall, a fantastic choice with minor noise issues and dining comfort.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, with great views of the Rialto Bridge, Rialto market, and gondolier stations, but the room was crowded with non-functional furniture. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff always willing to assist. The dining options were good, especially before setting off exploring. The facilities were decent, adding to the overall positive stay.
