Reviews

• Lourdes from United States – 10 November 2024 (10/10)

  Location, staff and room were all exceptional! Stefano, Marco and staff made sure we had everything we needed and were available and so helpful from the moment we arrived until the minute we departed – truly phenomenal service. Location was perfect for us as it was close enough to all but away from the craziness of San Marco, plus easy & close to ferry station to access and travel to/ from train station. Our room was very comfortable with a wonderful view of the water and Main Street. Breakfast was delicious and with even better views to start your day. Highly recommend!!

• Shankar from United States – 1 April 2025 (9/10)

  The front desk staff were wonderful. Stefano Fiore, the manager was simply outstanding. He was friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. The location is great. The views are breathtaking. If you like walking, you can walk just about everywhere from the hotel. The room is very clean and bed was great. But these are very small rooms and it just about accommodates the bed. The breakfast at the hotel is sumptuous and fresh. We took a few tours and the hotel location was perfect for that. A short walk to the tour meeting spots. I would stay here if I visited Venice again.

• Jeffery from United Kingdom – 25 March 2025 (10/10)

  The hotel was in an excellent location and very close (less than 100 metre) from the Blu Line Arsenale stop. We took the Blue Line from the airport (about 80 minutes) direct to the hotel. The room was very good size and very comfortable. We had a view of the Lagoon which was very nice. The receptionists were extremely helpful even booking a Gondola Ride for us and getting restaurant reservations (Very good Restaurant just over the bridge by the Hotel (Perla). Just 10 minutes walk from San Marco Square where several tours could be arranged to Murano, Burano, Doges Palace and The Basilica. Fully recommend the hotel.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike about this hotel so we fully recommend it for anyone who comes to Venice.
