Sadly the hotel lacks a lift. Difficult to see where this could be fitted. There was a familiar Venetian smell of drains in one of the breakfast rooms and on the stairs. Otherwise my stay was excellent and I'd happily recommend this hotel as a quiet, central base for visitors.

Perfect location for central Venice and san marco. The hotel was perfect, small, personalised, very friendly staff and helpful. Room was small but warm, clean, fresh linen every day. breakfast was plenty of choice to fill up on for the day cereal, egg bacon hams cheese cakes pastries, fruit, fruit syrups, yogurts. I’m gluten free, we’re able to offer fresh baguette, cereal and sweet biscuits everyday for me. Just let them know beforehand or on arrival. Perfect for cost and location, would definitely return and recommend.

Very nice kozy rooms but rather small in size. Bed mattresses are really firm and pillows hard. They could’ve been a little better for the price paid. Overall cleanness and services including breakfasts were excellent. Staff is attending and everyone is very nice.

The hotel offers a fantastic breakfast with premium offerings. The staff are super-friendly and accommodating. Rooms are small but comfy, and 2 restaurants outside the courtyard act as an almost extension of the hotel. A hidden gem!

Lovely place, with a more "old school" feel to it. Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was great although the bathroom was very narrow. Had everything we needed and was in a great location. Would totally go here again :)
