Perfect Venetian experience
Pros:

Perfect location and perfect typical Venetian hotel. Loved the classical style but still well taken care and not just old.
The AC in the common areas and in the bedroom is just a relief in the summer heat. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom has all the necessary commodities.
It is super clean and they make sure to keep the towels cleaned everyday, which is a small but very important detail to us.
The staff is always very friendly and nice.
The breakfast was perfect and has everything that is essential and super tasty.
The room even faces a canal making it super romantic 🥰
We just loved it and is a favourite of ours that well keep in mind once we get back to Venice one day. Thank you for everything Royal San Marco Hotel and what you did to make our stay even more memorable 😊

Nothing

Do not stay at the trash pit.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This is not a 4 star hotel. It was pound from the staff, dirty in general and the bathroom full of mold. Looks like they started to renovate the bathroom and then changed their mind. Refused to put me in the room I paid for and then proceeded to tell me since I was a solo travel there was nothing they were going to do.
