central location helpful staff faulty heater extra blanket
the location was quite central. (a perfect location to find the main atractions) the breakfast included a wide selection of juices and coffees. the staff were friendly and helpful .
the heater in my room was not working. i requested it be fixed, but was told it could only be done in the morning. instead, i received an extra blanket (this was not sufficient).

easy access excellent location friendly staff professional staff consistent courtesy false air conditioning blood smear small room
The location is excellent. I found easy access to many destinations by walk. Staff were friendly and professional too. They showed consistent courtesy and politeness.
Most importantly, the listing make a lie about air conditioning. They use only AC or heat for the entire building. I found hair and a blood smear in the bathroom. The room is small too.

Romantic Hideaway

ideal location spacious room helpful staff great breakfast
the location was ideal, close to the main attractions (i particularly enjoyed the short walk to the market). the quadruple room was spacious with a split layout that provided privacy, a bonus. the staff offered a map and pointed out local points of interest, away from typical tourist spots. breakfast was great (especially the croissants!).
soundproofing was minimal, and noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable.
Facilities

the room included a shower, toilet, bidet, and beds, fulfilling basic needs. a mini-bar with inexpensive drinks was available, which i found very convenient. breakfast had extra cost, though it offered a good variety of options.

super venice stay!

free drinks helpful staff central location
i really liked how close it was to everything, like easy to walk to places. the room included some free drinks in its mini-fridge and that was cool. the staff was really awesome, especially silvia, because she helped us find our passports we left behind!
the parking cost too much, even with a discount of just 10%.

the hotel provides convenient access via vaporetto, since the stop is directly opposite the hotel, made travel so simple. there are drinks available in the mini bar.

a breakfast service exists for an extra charge, which features bakery goods. space is limited in the breakfast room, with only five or six tables. you should indicate if you want breakfast the night before.

great location helpful staff tiny room brick wall
The location was great, near the Accademia bridge (though I would have preferred the Rialto, naturally). The staff was helpful with directions.
My 'Double or Twin Room' was tiny. I could barely turn around. The promised canal view turned out to be a view of a brick wall (the pigeons seemed happy enough, though).
