Location was great close to everything, easy check in, very nice staff very friendly, make sure you read the instructions they provide if you aren’t familiar with European air conditioners haha. Definitely recommend this place and will come back!
Ileen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for 4 nights. The location was perfect, staff was friendly and the room was cleaned everyday. I really liked the decor, the air conditioning worked perfectly and there’s a fan. Only complain is we stayed at the top of the building so there were many steps however we really enjoyed our stay here.

I booked a room last minute for one night. The location was very convenient. The front desk staff was lovely and very welcoming. The room had a historic look/feel but was comfortable, private and nice. The bathroom looked like it had been recently renovated - very nice. I would stay here again!
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is a historic building so it was old but the room is updated. The wifi in the room was very weak, I think that's the only down side on this property. Other than that it is a great hotel.
BERCEL ANN, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Office is only open until 1:00 pm but I was sent several messages from Anna on how to get in the property which was straight forward and easy. Michael and Anna were extremely helpful throughout our stay and the hotel is on the Centre of Rialto which was walking distance to everything. The Rialto bridge is a 5 minute walk. Great location and super helpful staff.

2/10 Poor

Most horrible experience ever

Fotos and description not matching the reality. Dirty and filthy. Carpet disgusting stains. Door to the room was marked as „Privat“?? Bathroom not in the room but on the floor - extremely small. No tables in the breakfast room. Coffee machine was marked with „out of order“. Reception was never occupied therefore a personal complaint was not possible. The most horrible experience with a Hotels.com booking! I expect a full refund. Remove this hotel from your website and app!

8/10 Very good

Wonderful Stay in Venice.

We enjoyed our stay. Good location. The front desk attendant was very helpful. Very quiet and dark for sleeping. Recently renovated room with modern but small bathroom. Two minute walk to Grand Canal and 5 minutes to St. Mark’s Square. However, the bed is very uncomfortable. Very hard. Also very steep stairs.
Dan, 3-night trip

Good room, great location

The rooms were good. The bed was not that comfortable but the air con was a nice reprieve when needed. Bathroom very good and location was great, espscially for Rialto Bridge and St Mark's Bascilica.
Thomas, 2-night trip

Great li

Lovely host and traditional interior in the room. Everything you need is in the room and a comfy bed! Fantastic location close to Rialto Bridge and St Marco square. Note that the aircon doesn’t work until the start of May.

Short visit to Venice

Lanterna Marco Polo was situated in a central location, easy access to every thing. Room had air conditioning and a private bathroom. Would recommend!

Ahhh Venice

It’s a great hotel in the City. When we checked in we were greeted by a very nice man (Michael I believe) who gave us suggestions on where to eat, and visit. The room was clean and relaxing. There is a little sitting area on the roof which has a nice breeze. We enjoyed that we were right in an active area of Venice. There is a great little coffee shop to the right of the entrance door. The room we had was on the 5th floor, and there is no elevator, but great views of the city. We loved our time there and would stay again.
