Pros:

Excellent renovations to the hotel. Beautiful rooms and impecciable service

Cons:

The ground-floor bar is in the reception area, and the double doors at both ends let cold drafts blow through.

Not good value for money. At that price guests should get a full breakfast at least.
Pros:

Everything was very clean.

Cons:

The breakfast and service in the breakfast room was a joke.

A romantic room with a view
Pros:

Everything!! What a stunning property that is so much more beautiful in person than the photos. We had a jr suite grand canal room and in our 30 day trip of all of our hotels, this was our most beautiful room! We had not one, but two windows looking out to the canal with probably 20 foot ceilings, it was stunning! The property is small and elegant and so boutique and quiet. We loved it as if it was our own villa. The service was great! The staff was wonderful and we would definitely stay here again. For the money it would be hard to find a better room at a top hotel - you would not get this kind of room!

Cons:

Maybe an outdoor space to sit and eat but honestly it didn't matter too much as it was hot!

Pros:

This is a cool hotel, but be aware. They are going through major renovation. The Canal view room that I paid for believing it would be the grand Canal from the pictures was a small window about the size of a shoebox, looking out the back of the hotel at a small canal. The original room was so small we couldn’t fit our Carry-on luggage in it with us. We asked him to change us to another room and they did so happily it was a huge room with a view of what they call the garden. The room was great except every morning at 8:30. They started construction in the room above us. If you go out in Venice and want to enjoy the city and eat late as most Venetians, do this is not the hotel you want to stay in while they go through this renovation.

On the upside, the staff was fantastic and the place is so clean and brand new for the rooms that are finished. They are spectacular. Amazing marble bathrooms, nice beds and amenities in the room.
