Attention au 3e étage
Pros:

Très beau palais sur le Grand Canal

Cons:

Nous avons réservé une suite et on nous a installés dans une chambre sous les combles qui n’a rien à voir avec la suite réservée. Les premier et deuxième étages sont magnifiques mais le troisième est tout à fait banal. Les photos de notre chambre n’existent pas sur le site Booking
J’ai dû négocier pour payer moins cher mais la déception est là
Pourtant ce palais est magnifique et le personnel agréable.

Better access than most and right on canal.
Pros:

2nd time was just as good as the first. Right on the canal and just 20 steps from Ca Rendizzilio (sp) water taxi stop. Easy drop off and pick up to & from airport. Clean room with nice bed and shower. Helpful staff with full bar and patio right on canal.

Cons:

No dislikes.

Stunning building. Great views.
Pros:

Stunning building and decor. Stairs and hallways were amazing.
Did not have the main rooms, but room in the (roof) top floor which were fine.
Breakfast was good, sitting out on the terrace with the pigeons.
Location good, right next to ferry port.
To cross the grand canal you can use boat services or you can 'go around the houses'. Nice walk though.

Cons:

No door signs to say "do not disturb". Electronic indicator system when keycard is in slot. Cannot use a different card. If you forget to put card in, cleaners assume room is empty when its not. Not their fault.

Coffee machine was not my favourite, would have preferred kettle.

We would definitely go back and ask for a larger room.
Pros:

Exceptional architectural and interior details. Water taxis come right to the front door. Location is central but not crowded and travel wether walking or on vapporetos around Venice was easy. Only 10 rooms!

Cons:

The interiors although beautiful were dark with little sitting space. Larger rooms might afford that - don't know.

Worn and Torn
Pros:

The location was great.

Cons:

It’s a 3 star hotel with 5 star expenses. They advertise “breakfast included” but it’s only for a continental breakfast. To have the normal breakfast you have to pay an additional E15 per day. The rugs are worn and torn . The shower is so small you can’t turn around. There was no window in our room. The hotel needs a complete makeover.

From every perspective, a fabulous stay.
Pros:

Staff was great, although at times it felt they may have been a bit understaffed. Loved the historic feeling of the building, it's terrace over looking the Grand Canal.

Cons:

Only one thing - We needed an iron and ironing board and they said they didn't have one.
