  The location. It’s so close to the Rialto bridge and easy to find, but still quiet and comfortable.
  
  The people who work there.

• Ava from United States – 27 March 2025 (9/10)

  I loved that housekeeping came in every day and did a thorough job of cleaning up and meticulously restocked everything. Breakfast was great – I’m always ravenous in the morning and there was plenty of nutritious, quality food to fuel me through to lunch.

• Otto from United States – 15 March 2025 (9/10)

  Room was very clean and spacious, good breakfast and friendly staff.
  
  What could be improved: No elevator and our room was on the third floor. We had been notified in advance. We climbed all 69 steps to get to our room, good exercise. No complaints just a comment.

• Rumnique from United Kingdom – 18 November 2024 (9/10)

  Location is fantastic!! It is really easy and quick to walk to the top Venice sights from the hotel (Rialto bridge is literally just outside it). We loved the style of the hotel too as it felt Venetian and thought had gone into it. Staff were very friendly, always with a smile on their faces 🙂 Breakfast was lovely, continental style, not the largest selection but we were very full by it each day! The stairs didn’t bother us at all, it’s Venice so we’re already walking most the time and doing steps for the bridges, so an additional staircase really didn’t seem significant!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, would stay here again!

• Joanne from United Kingdom – 4 November 2024 (9/10)

  The location of this hotel was amazing , we booked a double room however on checking in we weee offered a free upgrade to an apartment and this 100% made our stay the double room was tiny but the apartment was amazing 🤩
  
  What could be improved: Nothing ( apart from me being unfit and climbing the stairs for breakfast ) 😂

• Melissa from United States – 27 October 2024 (9/10)

  My husband and I spent 3 days at the end of our 3 week honeymoon here. Great location with comfortable and quiet room. Fantastic breakfast with views of the canals. The apartment we stayed in had a small kitchen with electric kettle, tea, and cookies. Toiletries included hand soap and body wash as well as a working hair dryer. Really close to restaurants and shops as well as Rialto Bridge. Also close to gondola ride area.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• David from United States – 14 October 2024 (9/10)

  Beautiful, old hotel right on the Grand Canal, off the Rialto Bridge. We were in room 10 up an additional flight of stairs. Room was quiet, roomy with good space for luggage. Bathroom was basic with a good shower. No real views from the rooms. Breakfast was good with fresh croissants, made to order eggs, coffee/teas/juices with views of the Grand Canal. Perfect location to reach Piazza San Marcos and the Scuala and Frari easily without being in the middle of all the crowds.
  
  What could be improved: Keep in mind there's no elevator and a good 50+ steps to the hotel.
