efficace mais sans âme
Pros:

La localisation est agréable loin du flux touristique et proche des liaisons, la chambre était confortable j'ai apprécié l'ensemble des installations

Cons:

Décor acidulé mais un peu froid, l'espace salon n'est pas cosy pour la périodes automnale . Dans la soirée j'ai voulu commander un room service et le directory affichait un room service sans indiquer de numéro de téléphone et la réception n'a jamais décroché. Au petit déjeuner le pain est moyen...

Wunderschönes Desing - auf Zimmerwahl achten!!!
Pros:

Was für eine winderschöne Lage und Super Hotelbar mit hervorragenden Drinks - auch das Essen und Frühstück sind Einmalig

Cons:

Das Zimmer 002 / neben der Toilette im Hotelerdgeschoss mit Boden Fenster ohne Ausblick - fühlte mich unwohl - wollte wechseln aber nur gegen enormen Aufpreis möglich.

Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel
Pros:

Hotel un peu excentré Malheureusement expérience, désastreuse, petit déjeuner médiocre avec attente trop longue pour obtenir une tasse de thé, chambre à 18° sans pouvoir passer à une climatisation chaude. Manager invisible malgré ma demande.

A fantastic destination hotel with the best sunset view from the tables out front
Pros:

The location was fantastic, the room was perfect for me and extremely comfortable. The interior design was impeccable and the food and drinks were delicious

Cons:

Unfortunately the cocktail bar was not open for two of my three nights. I don't remember seeing that on the website, but perhaps I missed it

perfekte ruhige Lage
Pros:

Die Lage war das Beste, das Frühstück praktisch aber eben italienisch. Das Personal ist jung, dynamisch, freundlich.
alles ist fussläufig erreichbar, San Marco 18 Min. Vaporetto Station in unmittelbarer Nähe, eine zweite Vaporetto Station zum Canale 5 Min Entfernung.

Cons:

.Die Aussicht aus dem Zimmer sehr schlecht, die Vorhänge sehr dunkel, schwer und ein wenig bedrohlich.

Nice hotel, but definitely not worth 500+ euro a night
Pros:

The staff was amazing.

Cons:

We didn’t have air in our room and I think the price was way too expensive for the value

Meilleur spot pour profiter de Venise
Pros:

Deuxième séjour dans cet hôtel et le lieu est toujours aussi charmant, avec sa décoration inspirée de l’Italie des années 60, son jardin pour les petits-déjeuners et dîners
