Alison from United Kingdom – 24 March 2025 (9/10)
The location is brilliant, between rialto and san Marco and also just a few yards from handy shops and some great restaurants, including Bistrot de Venise if you’re feeling like treating yourself 🙂

Was very clean and close to St. Marks. Would stay again if I ever returned.
Maria from United States – 7 December 2024 (9/10)
I booked a single bed because I came to Venice for a work event and stayed the weekend after to have more time to explore this magical city. I probably could have stayed somewhere less central and paid a lower price, but I have no complaints about the room, comfort, and communication. Bathroom was super clean, modern, and spacious with excellent shower. Location close to major sights.
