  : Good location.
  : Very dark room overlooking building work. Non of the reception staff were particularly friendly or welcoming. Porter was always cheerful. Overpriced for what it was. A reasonable 3 star rather than the 4 stars it is accredited with.

  : The location is excellent for our needs being a short walk into the main sights in one direction and a lovely peaceful area of Venice in the other. Also close to main Vaporetti stops. The breakfast was as described and there was plenty of choice and variety. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotlessly cleaned every day and ours had a beautiful view. The shutters kept out a lot of noise and kept the room shady when needed. The staff were very helpful if needed, but not obtrusive. Reception are happy to organise a taxi or water transport if needed, and to book a meal at any of their hotels for residents . The rooftop restaurant views are amazing and we had lovely meal with family up there with excellent friendly service. We enjoyed our stay very much.
  : This is not at all a complaint but it might be helpful at breakfast to have the options written either on a card in the bedrooms or on the breakfast tables. The options were read out to us one at a time and we were invited to choose as they were read out without knowing the full range of options first. There also seemed to be confusion occasionally (with other guests) as to whether breakfast was included or not and some options included cooked breakfast. However the breakfast staff were very helpful, and tried to solve any needs that arose. It could be also helpful to know whether coffee or beverages are available during the day for residents. These are in no way complaints and we enjoyed our time in Venice very much.

  : Location is just perfect, just across the ferry to take you to the other islands. St Mark square is pretty much close aswell. It's easy to get lost around the labyrinth style of little alleys around Venice, which that's what makes it special. So having your hotel close to St Mark square is a bonus, cause all streets lead to it.

  : The location was perfect overlooking the water, the rooftop restaurant had amazing views and the food was divine

Disappointing

  : The bed was very comfortable.
  : The reception staff were unfriendly, unwelcoming, unengaging and at times frankly, rude. What could have been a great location and view was spoiled with a huge unsightly metal walkway directly under our window with a constant stream of people crossing, this was very noisy and with many looking towards your window, giving no privacy. This room to me was totally miss represented and overpriced. This obstruction should have been made clear when booking. Interior of the hotel is very tired, drab and dark, using a lot of worn out old furniture. There are absolutely bare minimum facilities. E.G. No kettle. No lounge that I could find and terrible shower. Apparently there was a Spa Bath in the room!. I couldn't find it.. Whilst the breakfast team are friendly enough, the whole operation feels like something from Fawlty Towers. Just waiting for John Cleese to pop his head in.

  : Loved this little hotel, the location is a very short walk from St. Mark's Square & overlooking St. Mark's basin. The room was clean, and service exceptional (call out to restaurant staff as nothing was too much trouble). The rooftop terrace is lovely for drinks, with the perfect view & people watching.
