Warning: tourist trap.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We booked two identical rooms. At check-in, we were surprised to find that the second room was in a different building and did not have any of the advertised amenities: there was no private bathroom in the bedroom (only a shared one in the hallway); the shared bathroom was extremely dirty, with mold on the bathtub curtain and the toilet was missing its seat; and there was no tea/coffee maker, coffee machine, or air purifier. It felt like a complete tourist trap; what was advertised on Booking.com had nothing to do with the rooms we were given.

Готель потребує ремонту та оновлення мебелі.
Pros:

Сподобалося лише місце розташування та персонал.

Cons:

Ми бронювали і заплатили за номер з видом на канал, а отримали з видом на закинутий двір. Мебель вся в жахливому стані, ліжка не зручні та старі, ванна кімната уся в плісняві, немає пульта від кондиціонера, щоб тобі зменшили або виключили кондиціонер потрібно йти на ресепшн.

La peor experiencia de mi vida!! Me arruinaron mi viaje
Pros:

Por favor que nadie elija este hotel, nos arruinaron la estancia en Venecia. Habitación pequeña, moqueta mojada porque cae agua del aire acondicionado contínuamente (que no deja que descanses por el ruido que hace al caer en un cubo y moqueta) olor horrible. Nos encontramos con otros huéspedes reclamando el dinero, un desastre!! Insalubre

Cons:

Habitación, no pudimos dormir en toda la noche porque salía agua del aire acondicionado contínuamente, equipo de descanso fatal, muyy pero que muy mal olor a humedad porque la moqueta además de vieja está mojada y nos advirtió la señora que limpiaba que a todas las habitaciones les pasaba igual. La dueña muy mal educada que si le reclamas te cierra la puerta en la cara

Cumplió con lo básico, no fue del todo cómodo
Pros:

Habitación y baños cómodos, se le notaba que era un edificio antiguo pero renovado, temperatura del agua regulable,

Cons:

Tenían un sólo control de aire acondicionado en el hotel, no podías regular la temperatura tú, tenías que ir a pedir a la recepción que fueran hasta tú habitación para encender, apagar o modificar la temperatura. El aire acondicionado tenía una perdida de agua que goteaba directamente sobre la alfombra. La ubicación del hotel no es de las mejores. El restaurante del hotel estaba cerrado para desayunar el domingo por la mañana

Do not book this hotel.. I’m not sure how they have 4 stars. This is probably one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed
Pros:

The staff were very nice.

Cons:

Smelled like urine, very small bathroom very run down, ac leaked in a trash can all night didn’t get any sleep. They hold on to the controller to adjust the ac. No soap to wash your hands.. no shampoo or conditioner like any other hotel we have stayed at. You get one thin pillow per a bed. Also it looked like there was mold.

Oversold and under delivered.
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

I was given a single room when I booked for a double room facing the courtyard. The room has no shower curtains or towels. The bedside lamp has no switch to turn it off. There were mosquitoes too. When I fed back to front office, I’m advised to email and message for a refund. It’s a month now. I’ve not gotten a reply or refund. Highly disappointing.

But the location and restaurant manager were lovely.

Pros:

Il nulla assoluto!!!!

Cons:

⭐☆☆☆☆

Uno degli hotel peggiori in cui abbia mai soggiornato. La struttura è completamente fatiscente, con arredi vecchi, rotti e palesemente trascurati da anni. La moquette è in condizioni imbarazzanti: sporca, macchiata e talmente disgustosa da far passare la voglia di camminare scalzi o persino di appoggiare i piedi a terra.

La pulizia generale è praticamente inesistente e l'intero ambiente trasmette una sensazione di degrado e scarsa igiene. Le foto pubblicate non rendono minimamente l'idea dello stato reale della struttura.

Anche il personale si è dimostrato impreparato e poco professionale, incapace di gestire le richieste degli ospiti in modo adeguato. Invece di trovare accoglienza e assistenza, ci si ritrova ad affrontare ulteriori disagi.

La cosa più significativa è che avevamo prenotato per più notti, ma dopo la prima notte abbiamo deciso di andarcene e trovare un'altra sistemazione. Abbiamo preferito rinunciare al soggiorno già pagato piuttosto che trascorrere un'altra notte in quelle condizioni.

Un'esperienza estremamente deludente sotto ogni aspetto. Non lo consiglierei neanche al mio peggior nemico e sicuramente non tornerò mai più.
