Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Multiple reviews complain about dirty carpets, stained/soiled bedding (even blood-stained duvet in one report), dust and generally unhygienic rooms; a few reviews mention clean rooms but overall cleanliness is notably weak.
Service
9.2
Many guests praise attentive and helpful staff across several reviews ('personnel agréable', 'staff helpful'); a minority report unfriendly staff or slow responses, but service sentiment is predominantly positive.
Location
10
Overwhelmingly positive comments about location (perfect/ideal, steps from St. Mark's and vaporetto, highly central). This is the hotel's strongest attribute.
Room Quality
7.2
Mixed feedback: some rooms described as clean, spacious and well-decorated; others are old, tired, with uneven floors, small dark windows, or malfunctioning AC. Quality varies by room type.
Amenities
8
Some guests note limited amenities (no roof terrace despite advertising, minimal minibar/drinks, few USB ports); overall amenities are adequate but not exceptional.
Value for Money
7.6
Several guests feel the price is high for the level of comfort and issues reported (cleanliness, safety, AC problems), while others find the location and service justify the cost.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast opinions are mixed — some describe it as skimpy or lacking variety (especially for special diets), others call it correct or good. Generally acceptable but not outstanding.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall a mixed but generally positive experience driven strongly by location and character of the hotel; however cleanliness, occasional safety concerns, and room/amenity issues temper guest satisfaction.

Consigliato per la comodità della zona
Pros:

La struttura si trova in una posizione davvero ottima, dietro Piazza San Marco. La camera è spaziosa e il bagno moderno e pulito. La colazione presenta una discreta varietà di offerta tra dolce e salato.

Cons:

La moquette nel pavimento della camera presentava svariate macchie.

Ein etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel in zentraler Lage.
Pros:

Perfekt gelegenes Hotel, aber etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die Lage ist unübertroffen, man ist direkt am San Marco Platz und kann überall zu Fuß gelangen. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, vor allen die leckeren und immer verschiedenen Kuchen, die es gab. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und die Zimmer wurden auch jeden Tag geputzt.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind ziemlich dunkel wegen einer merkwürdigen grünen Tapete, die den Zimmern vermutlich einen nostalgischen Charakter verleihen soll, wirkt aber wenig einladend. Der Teppich war auch fleckig. Letztlich kann man das aber hinnehmen.

Muy bien localizado pero necesita más limpieza y arreglos.
Pros:

El desayuno está bien, tienen tanto slados como revuelto y salchichas etc como dulce tartas pasteles etc. Además tienen fruta poco variada basicamante manzanas y naranjas y tambien ponen compota. El café es muy bueno.

Cons:

Tiene moqueta y está muy sucia. En la habitación habia muchas manchas en el suelo. Además estaba a tope de polvo. El cuarto de baño tenia el WC metido en un espacio muy pequeño que no permitia estirar las piernas. El armario estaba roto.

Fantástica ubicación y experiencia visual 360 en la suite
Pros:

Excelente ubicación y maravillosas vistas desde la suite. Desayuno correcto.

Cons:

Algo antiguo que implicaría algo más de mantenimiento. En el desayuno se echa de menos la posibilidad de hacer tostadas.
