Warm, welcoming staff who are genuinely invested in making sure you have the best possible stay. Room was clean, spacious, well lit, and comfortable. Surprisingly quiet despite being located on a busy corner. St. Mark’s Square and water transport only a short walk away. Stay here while you go enjoy what Venice has to offer!

This hotel is in the BEST location for exploring Venice. Just 3 minutes away from the ferry terminals in the south, less than 10 minute walk to St. Mark's square, dining and bars right outside the doors, amazing!! As a solo female traveller, I felt super safe in this hotel. The only thing is that the bed was so small and super uncomfortable. The pillows are flat and they only provide 2. The ceiling in the tub/shower was low (I'm only 5' 3") and there was always a sewage-y smell coming from the bathroom pipes. There was also no refrigerator in the room. However, the AC works super well, there is an elevator for accessing the upper floors and the front desk staff was sooo helpful and sweet. Definitely a good value for the location alone!
