1. Space: the room is really tiny, and the stated 10-12 sqm includes the bathroom, so taking that out would leave you about 6-7 sqm. with a queen sized bed inside, you'd technically have no room to move around without hitting a wall or something around! In addition, the luggage storage space would suit only the cabin sized bags, if you have any bigger size luggage (regular ones that you check into an airline, it'd not fit there. Photos for reference) On top of that, the ceiling was so low, it'd make you feel trapped and not easy to fall asleep with such a low ceiling. 2. Stairs: super narrow staircase, with one floor blocked, so and give there's no room on the 2nd floor, you have to lift your luggage at least 3 levels up! We really had hard time for check in and check out, and the stairs took about actual 4-5 minutes to drags the luggage one level at a time. If you're travelling from overseas or have a regular sized luggage, certainly consider the long, narrow stairs as well as no storage for your luggage in the room! We basically couldn't take a proper shower (due to the tiny size of everything) or change dress (as we couldn't open our larger bags) 3. Unlike what is shown in the photos for the breakfast area, there's a sign stating no food or drink to be consumed here! It's basically a large, empty space that'd give you a damp feeling passing by :/ 4. There's no hot water, kettle, or amenities as such in this building. We've been told to go to their desk on

No thrills, but still cute.
This was a quick stay and a small place, but it was very cute and quiet. The downside is that it is a little longer walk from the bus or train station than we expected. Plus there is no elevator if you have to walk up several flights of stairs. And the room is tiny. But with all of that being said, the room was charming with a little lounge sofa in it to spread out. It is also fun to open up the windows and see the rooftops of Venice.
Front entrance, but main lobby was across the street.
This couch made this 5 stars
Tiny room.

Response from Front desk on 11 Feb 2024
Dear Shenea,thank you for your feedback with such an high score. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but Venice is not a city as Milan or Rome. The palace has no possibility for having an elevator, due to the construction size. Moreover, we put the information regarding the non-existence of the elevator. The rooms have different size one another, because the building was a Venetian house of XIX century and we could not extract big rooms like some other big palacies in the city.We are glad that you appreciated the style and furniture we equipped the room with to make your stay comfortable and relaxing.We assigned you with one of the biggest classic rooms we have, ehich has also the sofa inside with the rooftops view of the surroundings.We hope to welcome you again for a future visit.Best regards

Very good hotel
Very nice hotel. Less than a 10min walk from train station, less than 3min from water taxi stop to Murano/Burano and about 20min max from major attractions. Front desk personnel is at the hotel across the “street” but super helpful and friendly. Room was good size, bathroom is small but super clean and functional.

Half Term Break
We had a 4 night break over half term in Venice, it was pot luck selecting a hotel as our first time visiting but i would recommend and would certainly consider again if/when we return. Excellent location, very close to the airport water taxi drop off, literally a couple of minutes walk. Surrounded by shops and restaurants and only short walk away from other areas with loads more shops and restaurants. Lovely place, we were thrown initially as the reception is located in the sister hotel across the road but the receptionist was with us in minutes and was most helpful and gave us some great recommendations on where to eat locally (all of which we tried and they were excellent). We had a fabulous time, a great week and will will certainly be back to enjoy Venice again.

The property was fairly easy to find. Despite there not being any elevators, we made it up the stairs fine. Being mid November, it was fairly mild temps outside. Our room, on the other hand, was very hot. You can’t control the temperature yourself and you have to call the front desk (they control the temps remotely). I asked the guy to turn the air on. It didn’t make a difference. The next night I called again, his response was to open the windows. So we did, but the cigarette smoke from people would come into our room. Not sure if he refused to turn on the air conditioning to save power/money?!? Oh well, we rolled with the punches and had a good time in Venice.

Response from Francesca on 23 Nov 2023
Dear Mr. Stitt,This comment of yours is really offensive.The air conditioning is not on because we are in winter, where the temperatures are about 8-10 degrees. You will not find ANY hotel in Europe with air conditioning on in this season and in these temperatures. Stairs are there in all facilities in Venice having to live with high water, but I personally and my colleague Claudio have brought you every piece of your luggage to your room, so the reference to stairs seems really nonsensical to us.It is clear from your review that you would have expected an American standard Hotel, but to travel you need culture and clearly it is not for everyone.

This hotel was beautiful. Staff was friendly. We loved that it was located in the midst of everything. There are beverages left in the room mini fridge for purchase and that was convenient for the middle of the night water drinkers. The only downfall was that the room doesn’t have a long mirror in the room to get dressed. As a woman, on vacation, I would’ve loved a full body mirror.

Dear Jazmine,thank you for your review. We are sorry for receiving such a low score.It is very important for us to know your point of view to improve our service with the highest quality possible. Our staff is available anytime and our reception opens 24H. They put lots of efforts to make the stay of each guest relaxing and enjoyable. As per your special comment, we put a minibar in the room, because you could have needed something anytime. Unfortunately, we did not receive any request regarding it, otherwise we could try the best possible to assign you a room with a full body mirror. Of course, we have just few rooms with this option available. In the meantime we wish you Merry Christmas!

We had a great stay at this boutique property. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Great location on one of the main streets - 10 min walk from the train station and the Gugli bridge is the second stop on the water ferry from airport (5min walk to hotel). Great restaurants and shopping close by. Breakfast was very nice. FYI - there is no elevator if you think that might be an issue for you.

Very helpful, friendly staff. Spotless rooms with the fluffiest towels I have ever used. Great breakfast selection. On a busy street but at night the shutters help to keep any noise down and we had no problems sleeping at all in the very comfortable beds. Would have liked there to be drawers to put other clothes and more hangers, including ones for trousers, skirts etc. Practically perfect though and very conveniently placed for all modes of transport with some fabulous restaurants just a few minutes walk away.

AVOID ROOM # 51!!
First off, if you have any heart condition, disability, or just don't feel like climbing stairs-AVOID ROOM # 51 which is the highest floor in the facility with NO ELEVATOR. No where did it mention the "Mount Everest" climb to our room. Neither the hotels.com website nor the management ask if we had any condition preventing us from climbing steps. 2. All room air conditioning is remote controlled from the front desk. I had called 3 (yes 3) times to adjust the air conditioner to get cooler. Since we are on the roof, the heat is more intense in room #51 and requires additional cooling to surpass the intense heat. Very disappointing.

We will be back soon!
I recently stayed at this hotel which is strategically located in the enchanting city of Venice and I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. From its prime location to the impeccable room and top-notch service, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The hotel's strategic location in the heart of Venice is an absolute standout feature. Just a 7-minute stroll from the train station and a mere 16 minutes away from the coach station, which conveniently connects to the Marco Polo Airport. Being centrally situated allowed me to make the most of my time, exploring the charming city with ease. Upon entering the room, I was struck by its cleanliness and the evident attention to detail. The hotel's commitment to maintaining a hygienic environment was clearly evident, as the room was sanitized to perfection with bleach. The provided shampoo and conditioner were not only of top-notch quality but also free from overwhelming fragrances, catering to a wide range of preferences. Given the heatwave during my stay, the room's air conditioning was an absolute lifesaver. It kept the room at a comfortable temperature, offering a welcome respite from the outside heat. The check-in process was a breeze, swift and efficient. In terms of value for money, this hotel absolutely hits the mark. The combination of its prime location, the quality of the room, and the exceptional service offered, all at a reasonable price, makes it an unbeatable choice.
