Canal view, walkable!

The room was quite large and accommodated all of the people in my party perfectly. There was an issue with the air conditioner and it did not stay on. It had to be constantly turned on every few hours or it would get very hot. We were on the first floor which was nice and quick to get out. We also faced the canal which was really cool. The room was a bit damp but it is an old building near water. It was easy to get around getting to the main bridge over the grand canal (about 10 minutes) or a water taxi about 10 minutes start to finish to St. Mark's Square. There is also the water ferries about five minute walk to go to further places in Venice. Great coffee shop about 3 minute walk away.

Beds were not the most comfortable. Also, there were ants under my kids bunk beds. Some hotel rooms were in different buildings so we had to walk out of the lobby into another building. It is very quiet but longer walking distance to historic center.

Good stay !

The location is amazing , you literally staying in the core of Venice , my complain is the a/c for the size of the room it does not blow enough air to keep room fresh you would have to open windows and the bad side of that is that mosquitoes will enter your room and you know the rest , bed was a bit to hard for my liking but you may find comfortable, and WiFi is not good on the room I was at at all , besides that I totally recommended.

The hotel has a very authentic and rustic feel, which added to our trip. However, some amenities were not available while we were there. For example, we stayed there during a humid storm, and our air conditioning was out most of the time. We also didn't have a working TV, or weren't able to open the windows because they looked like they were going to fall off or were screwed into the wall. We let the staff know, and they at least got our A/C working, but it took a while and made it uncomfortable to sleep that evening.

Don’t do it!

Horrible Hotel. Beware! After a horrible check-in we were directed to our “quad room with a double and two twin beds” overlooking the canal. When we arrived we noticed we were given a double bed with only a futon. The front desk agents were grumpy and unkind. They didn’t want to help at all. Alas I slept on a single futon with an 8 year old WILDLY UNCOMFORTABLE. The hotel itself is falling apart. Our door frame was held together with a strip of plastic that we could literally open the locked door with a good pull, definitely didn’t feel safe. The air conditioning is not controllable because they have taken the remotes, leaving you with whatever settings they see fit (ours was set at 23 degrees). Finally walking up the stairs there is wallpaper peeling off showing mold behind it. Save yourself a headache on your Venice adventure and do not book this hotel.

The room was absolutely awful and looked nothing like the pictures. They have 2 buildings under the same hotel name, one rated 3 stars and one four. I believe the photos are all from the four star hotel. There was a pungent musty-damp smell in the room, so much so it posed a health concern. Water damage visible on the walls coming through the wallpaper. Bathroom was very dirty and had black mold on the walls. This was false advertising and we feel like we’ve been scammed.

Good Location in central venice, however after reading all the recent reports of bed bugs it did bring paranoia. Our air con was dripping some unknown liquid onto the bedframe directly below, room had a musty smell & carpet looked worn with yellow tints on the edge of the red. Despite this, I would recommend keeping bags off the floor and hanging clothes up, thankfully didnt get bitten though but the fear of bed bugs was enough to make me unsettled for the duration of the trip despite being there for such a short amount of time. The hotel itself does clean sheets every day and I did notice that the bed itself is not placed against any walls, with at least a 15 cm gap, suggesting the property are aware of said infestation and are perhaps taking some measures of prevention. There were 4 of us in total but none of us appeared to get bitten. Door lock also didnt work properly.

Terrible property – a scam with zero customer service. Our AC wouldn’t turn off, and instead of fixing it, they disconnected the electricity in our room just to stop the AC from blowing. We had to choose between having power or freezing. The room was dirty, the door wouldn’t lock, and there was no responsible staff or front desk available. Do not stay at this horrible place.

Giving this place one star is a BLESSING, I wish I could give it ZERO stars!!! The old man in the reception, is extremely rude. He does not respect guests and especially not women, he told us to “be quiet” and “shut up” multiple times when we went to complain about the A/C not working, to us and another guest. The A/C kept shutting off every single hour, they would not give us the remote, we could not sleep, we ended up leaving at 7 am because it was impossible to sleep and the heat was horrendous. The entire place was filled with water damage, dirt and mold, I was coughing the entire time I was there. Do not waste your time or money on this place.
