Reviews

  • Anna from South Africa – 29 June 2024 (9/10)

    Wonderful Hotel, great location central but away from the business, interesting Dorsoduro, lovely staff, gorgeous deco, exquisite restaurant!
    We can’t wait to come back…

    What could be improved: The bathroom taps, with wet hands, Very difficult to close them.

  • Edward from United Kingdom – 31 March 2025 (9/10)

  • Jonas from Switzerland – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

    Style & Interior are gorgeous. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
    Beautiful sunsets in the outside restaurant.

  • Ilia from Germany – 1 March 2025 (9/10)

    Everything was perfect: the hotel staff, breakfast, location and the room itself

    What could be improved: Charging of one night cost as a safety deposit was not convenient. This problem is that the hotel does not use it as a part of the total payment and does not return it immediately after check out. They charge this amount of money a few days in prior to check in and then do not accept nor reject this transfer. So the deposit is locked for pretty long period of time and then is returned as an unclaimed funds according to your bank policy (in my case it is slightly longer than one month)

  • Iannis from United Arab Emirates – 11 February 2025 (9/10)

    Ideally located
    Decorgasm it’s so elegantly decorated
    Absolutely pristine service

    What could be improved: Can’t think of anything

    What could be improved: Breakfast was very average for the price.
    I expected more from the hotels food offering.

  • Corinne from United States – 22 January 2025 (9/10)

    This hotel was a delight, with spacious rooms and a wonderful view of the water. The staff was incredibly accommodating, helping us call restaurants to make reservations and recommending different ways to get around the city. Its right by a ferry stop, but we really just walked everywhere we wanted to go. We loved our adorable room, with delicious coffee from a real coffee maker and cozy robes. Thank you for an amazing stay!

  • Alexander from France – 26 December 2024 (9/10)
