  • Bryan from United States – 5 February 2025 (9/10)

    We were well-pleased with our little room. The staff was fantastic. The location was good, especially since it was right behind St. Marks.

  • Maitry from United States – 26 January 2025 (9/10)

    Room was excellent and the location was perfect, near the center of St. Marks Square.

    What could be improved: The breakfast had a cute setting but ran out of fruits (bananas) quickly and would have liked more vegetarian (eggless) options!

  • Elizabeth from Australia – 26 January 2025 (9/10)

    The location was superb, so central to St Marco square and the ferry stop. The staff were helpful and friendly, particularly the lady looking after breakfast – she was so attentive and friendly. And the breakfast was delicious. I would recommend it.

    What could be improved: It was all really good, I don't have anything to write about.
