Basic hotel but clean rooms & friendly staff
Had been worried by negative reviews but stay was clean & comfortable for the price. Reception staff were perfectly charming, friendly & helpful (not at all rude as others have said). A little worn and dated but overall a pleasant stay.

The TV didn’t work and it would have been nice to watch some news. The shower water was warm to cold. Expedia indicated a continental breakfast available but that is extra. The room was quite small and our three beds took up the entire space, but I was fine with that, as I wanted three beds. Great location.

Main areas were quaint but room needed new furniture (veneer coming away from chipboard), new mattress (sagging in middle), new carpet, new wall paper, new bathroom and a lick of paint (damp patch on ceiling). Food in the restaurant was nice and very good value (guests receive 40% discount). Overall a good budget hotel for Venice, just needs a little freshen up.

We only stayed 1 night and appreciated the friendly staff allowed us to store our bags until the 3pm check in time. We were not happy with the AC being stuck on 16 degrees all night. We tried to find the control for the heat pump/ac and discovered in the morning we hadn’t lost it- but all the ac boxes are controlled by the hotel and maintenance needs to change it. A very cold night for tired travellers. Aside from this the hotel was cute and staff were friendly

This is a very nice old hotel. The staff were all very nice. We arrived late, and the dining manager allowed us to order some food to take to our room.
My problem is with the reservation. I requested a room for 3 & selected a triple room. When we arrived, the staff said they received a reservation for only 2 people, so I had to pay for an additional person + the tourist fee. It cost me nearly $75 more for the exact room I had reserved.

The hotel has a great potential. The staff is very polite and helpful, but the rooms need major renovation. Bathrooms are in poor condition as well as carpet. Internet is barely working, we tried to watch Netflix but it constantly got disconnected. We enjoyed the hotel’s restaurant. Food was good and ambient atmosphere was pleasant. We would stay in this hotel again, but as I said they need to update showers.

They advertise WiFi but in our "wing" of the property there was NO WiFi. The heater AC had NO control. They had to send someone from the staff to turn it on or off or to adjust the temperature. Bed was okay. Bathroom okay. Touch control lamps next to the beds turn themselves on and off during the night. Location was convenient. Hotel has a restaurant and food was just 3 stars.

This is a hotel that is not running in proper condition. Paint flakes from the ceiling, door handles fall off, shower drain is clogged.
Most definitely not ideal for the price I paid.

Room was cold, registered it was set at 30 C but it was super cold, hot waster was iffy and bed was broke. Buildings in Venice are super old but this one was just ok. If you just want a place to lay your head then it’s ok. It was clean just needs a little TLC to bring up the experience. I would probably stay someplace else next time.
When I checked out there was someone else that was requesting a different room.

There was always hot water and the bed was comfortable enough to sleep in, but ir was to metal framed beds pushed together and not comfortable to share with my partner. No WiFi in the rooms, Tv stuck in Polish so couldnt understand the menus. AC seemed to work when it wanted making the room comfortable about half the time. The bathroom was down a narrow tuled corridor which was slippery when wet. It overlooked the canal which was nice though.

This was the worst hotel stay ever. We had 4 days of no hot water. There was no manager at the hotel. The receptionists just shrugged their shoulders. Refused to call management. Kept saying a technician was coming to fix it. In the end we went to another hotel. Otherwise the place was seriously run down and shabby.

Small room with an itty bitty bathroom you can barely turn around in. The carpet was disgusting and looked like it had never been replaced. The bed was very uncomfortable. The only good thing was the balcony overlooking the canal.

Hotel is rated a 4 star but the room was covered in a thick layer of dust, carpet had many large stains, bathroom was not cleaned and seemed used by previous occupant. Multiple Power Outages, no water or working TV in room. couldnt even open room window due the amount of dust on window sill and air unit. Horribly disappointed especially for what they charged for the nightly rate.

WORST EXPERIENCE in my entire trip to Italy. Check in process is a mess, my family and I felt discriminated by the staff who was talking bad about our group amongst themselves. Our party booked a total of 6 rooms for us to be treated in such manner. The lady in the check in area literally said in Italian that she didn’t want us there or to deal with us as we attempted to book a 7th room since the actual room does not look like the pictures.
The rooms are small, carpet smells musky and looks old and dirty. The second bed that is shown in the pictures is literally a mattress on the floor. Spend your money somewhere else. Treatment was so terrible that we actually left right after midnight, didn’t even sleep there.

Hotel info
The room was generally clean, but after the shower, the toilet is full of water and you feel like you are in the lake. When you open the window of the room, there are flies everywhere, when you tell the reception, they said there was no fly medicine and they did not help. They are not interested in service and are not enough to answer a question when asked
