What could be improved: The room for two was small, but still comfortable,Alan from United States – 11 October 2024 (9/10)
Great view from corner room.
Dinner in the restaurant was excellent
What could be improved: I would like an elevator (lift)Linda from Ireland – 15 September 2024 (9/10)
Lovely quiet location situated away from the crowded tourist areas around St Marks etc. but still close enough to reach on foot. Gave me the opportunity to see some parts of Venice that otherwise I may not have seen. Beautiful setting on the water. Arrived well before check in time but my room was unexpectedly ready. Had a delicious dinner in the restaurant.
What could be improved: My room was spotlessly clean with a great view & everything I needed but the decor (wallpaper) was a bit jaded.Andrew from United Kingdom – 9 September 2024 (9/10)
location on Zattere.
