Great accommodation. Easy access.
Great accommodation. Comfortable room, great staff, good bathroom. They offer a bottle of water daily.
Great location, easy to find by S. Zaccaria point. Close to San Marco. Good restaurants nearby.
It was the first hotel to charge fairly for the breakfast in Italy. I would only recommend to have fruits.
Other point to improve - the towels smell vinegar.
I would totally recommend this hotel.

Hotel location is excellent as it is near the St. Marks square. Unfortunately it is very noisy due to traffic. The rooms are small but we expect it so no surprise. Breakfast is served on the second floor in a small room so you need to let the front desk know of what time you want to eat. Unfortunately the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning so we left the windows open and got bitten by mosquitoes. Overall, we like the location.

Best location in a small bustling public square just 3mins walk from the main square (windows also open and overlook the small public square which is amazing). The room was small (to be expected in Europe) but very clean, modern and comfortable and it was a good layout for the size. Just be mindful there is no lift so be prepared to walk your luggage up at least one level/flight of stairs.

You can’t have a poorly located hotel in Venice. Everything is a walkable distance, but if you are looking for a quiet place, this location wasn’t bad. The staff was friendly and nice.
Venice is a pretty dirty city/island. It floods each day with the rising tides. Cool experience and decent food.
Definitely check out the other islands if you have seen all there is to see in Venice- Murano and Burano. You can see both in the same day.
If I ever returned to Venice, I wouldn’t mind staying at this hotel again.

It was a great stay! AC was working well, super great location, staff was friendly and everything was clean. Only thing was our room was right next to the breakfast area so we always got woken up by people going there and also can hear people late at night at the restaurant below but not very troublesome and we enjoyed our whole stay regardless

It was a fantastic location, right near the square. However this did mean some noise from outside until about midnight. Walls also seemed quite thin in the hotel and unfortunately had some noisy neighbours.
Pavel and staff were very welcoming and helpful.
