Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location couldn't be better, just a step away from San Marco square, but the room had a horrible odor coming from the bathroom. The service was friendly and helpful, though a bit lacking in patience. The dining was good, but I missed having a cooked breakfast. Overall, it was a decent stay but with some room for improvement.
I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The convenient location near San Marco Piazza was excellent for exploring, but the lack of an elevator to my floor and early morning construction noise were notable downsides. The room had a sofabed but needed some improvements like clearer communication from the staff. Overall, it offered a decent stay with ups and downs.
The hotel had clean rooms but was very noisy, making it hard to sleep. The location was wonderful right on the doorstep of Saint Marks Square, although it needs an update. The service was kind and professional. The dining experience was basic and tasteless, lacking variety. The size of the rooms was smaller than expected and carrying bags to the 5th-floor without an elevator was inconvenient.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although clean with a small balcony, felt somewhat cramped and crowded due to the limited space and bulky furniture. The ongoing building work in the adjoining room and early construction noise from the building opposite were certainly drawbacks. On the bright side, the service was top-notch with particularly lovely staff members, though there was an incident of a slightly abrupt encounter. The location, just seconds away from St Mark's Square, was unbeatable, providing a vibrant and convenient setting amidst an array of dining and shopping options.
I was impressed by the central location of the hotel, just a stone's throw away from St Mark's Square and surrounded by nice quiet restaurants. The rooms were clean and tidy, but unfortunately, we encountered a strong tobacco smell despite the smoke-free label. The lack of an elevator to the 5th floor meant a bit of a workout carrying our bags up the stairs.
