Positive Reviews
positive:
Location is amazing
The hotel is in a very quiet location, which still puts you close to many of Venice's attractions. You are within ten minutes of St. Mark's Square, and the Vaporetto stops are only a few blocks away. There are more than a few restaurants, bars and shops nearby, meaning dining or shopping is fairly easy.
positive:
Nice and friendly staff
Right from the receptionists, the staff at this hotel is very friendly. If you need any help finding your way to nearby attractions, there'll be someone to assist you. They will also give a helping hand if you need to get a gondola.
positive:
The breakfast is okay
While the free breakfast is not exactly rich in terms of options, it's adequate. The coffee and croissants are fresh and tasty.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Not ideal for an extended stay
The amenities in the rooms are only suitable if you're going to stay here for a short while. There are no coffee/tea making facilities, the toiletries are average, there are few (if any) English channels on TV, and the only meal served at the hotel is breakfast.
negative:
Not easy to locate
The property is tucked away on what is basically a backstreet. It can be hard to locate it for newcomers. And though there is a sign to help direct you, it's too easy to miss.
negative:
The shower is too small
The rooms are not exactly spacious, and the showers are even more cramped. Guests of significant size will have a problem taking a shower in that small space.
