I had a wonderful stay at this hotel - the rooms were modern, clean, and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, even recommending a fantastic dinner spot overlooking the Grand Canal. The location was perfect, just a few steps away from Piazza San Marco with no street noise. While the dining experience was a bit patchy, the breakfast served in the room was a nice touch.

My stay at the hotel was comfortable and cozy, with spotlessly clean rooms and helpful staff. However, the rooms were a bit small and dark. The location was perfect, close to key attractions like San Marco and Rialto Bridge, in a quiet street. The dining experience was pleasant, offering a good selection in a quaint setting.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The location was amazing, just a stone's throw away from Piazza San Marco and surrounded by gorgeous restaurants. The rooms were modern and well-equipped, with everything from WIFI to a safe and air conditioning. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make my trip memorable. The dining options were varied and delicious, catering even to gluten intolerance. However, the only downside was the slightly dark room with a window opening to a well.
