We stayed in the second building, the room was very clean and had a lovely balcony which overlooked the canal and side street. Couldn’t fault the room. Overall good price for a lovely stay
Quaint little alley hotel close to food , boats and sites. Only downside is the 2 very steep staircases you have to climb after a long day of walking. Not very mobility issue friendly. If you have back issues etc pass. Decorated lovely, comfotable. The ahower situation is weird and left the floor flooded but the bath tub is wondrful for soaking. Quiet and safe area.
Steep stairs, no elevator ,no help with luggage - even though I’m in my seventies

The reception area was lovely. The problem was that the room was not in that building, but it is building around the corner. Walked up four flights of stairs, practically in the dark. Room was tiny. Would not go back. The only good thing was the location And proximity to Saint Mark Square.
I can't believe this is supposed to be a 3 star hotel. Everything is dusty, broken or cracked. I dont know when the pictures were taken but they need an update. I read the reviews before booking and it looked fine but when we got to our room it was a disaster. Worst hotel I've stayed in, thankful we only stayed a couple of days.
I was not expecting the fourth floor walk up that had a view of a back lane.
But the room was clean, hotel is located near the waterfront with lots of shopping and dining in the area.
Staff were not great.
