  It's been one of our highlights on our 3 month trip. Location is ideal. We could see a canal from our window.

• Morag from Australia – 18 January 2025 (9/10)

  Fantastic location. Close to St Marc's square, restaurants, laundry and Water ferries. Perfect!

• Nikhil from Australia – 5 January 2025 (9/10)

  The location was great. All the popular eateries and attractions were within 10-15 minute walk. The person at the reception was very helpful and I can't thank her enough. The room was bigger than expected and had modern facilities. Overall we had a great stay.
  
  What could be improved: Probably should let the people know where to get down from Venezia station. We got down at Rialto from the ferry and it was a long 15 minute walk to the accommodation. Google maps didn't show us to get down at San Zaccaria. We were very tired after moving 5 luggage through uneven paths.

• Eirini from Greece – 31 December 2024 (9/10)

  The location was ideal. The rooom even had a view to a canal.
  
  What could be improved: The room was adjuscent to another one but the door was obviously locked. The other thing we did not like was that the room was not soundproofed. We could literally hear very clear what people from the other room were discussing.

• Euge76 from France – 12 November 2024 (9/10)

  Great location, only 7 min from St. Marco Basilica! I had a great welcome at the hotel and was contacted before with the detailed explanation how to get to the hotel. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. All necessary comfort for a short stay was there. The bathroom was also great!
  
  What could be improved: Actually all was great! Maybe a little fridge to be added would be nice.
