GOOD HOTEL
We found the staff friendly and helpfull. The breakfast was good, our room (40) was nice the only downside was it was very dark so had to have lights on during daytime.

Disappointing
After all the reviews I read on Expedia, I expected this hotel to be quite fabulous. However I was disappointed. The hotel is buried back behind St. Mark’s Square and the staff was unable to tell us how to locate it. We finally asked a shopkeeper in the square who gave us directions. I felt we were penalized because we were Americans in Italy. I would not go back to this hotel again.

Excellent place to stay (I recommend 4 star rating)
The hotel’s location is excellent. The service was superb, and the breakfast provided a variety of stuff to choose from. One minor disadvantage was that the air condition did not cool the room enough to a comfortable level, given the hot temperature we were experiencing. We recommend this hotel highly and without reservation.
