Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. The elegant Italian decor in the rooms, along with the view of the small canal and Grand Canal, made my experience truly special. The room was spacious and well-equipped without unnecessary clutter. The service went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and the breakfast options catered to my gluten-free needs. The location, tucked away from the touristy areas yet still close to popular landmarks, provided a peaceful and convenient stay. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with delicious options for a truly international palate. Overall, a great value for the money with delightful facilities.
The hotel was a mixed bag with cramped rooms but extremely clean and well-cared for. The tiny balcony offered a perfect spot to watch boats and people, but the overall room experience was lacking in comfort.
Our room overlooking the canal in Dorsoduro was beautiful, despite feeling the mattress pattern without a cover. The room was incredibly clean, and we enjoyed the canal view. The hotel staff were friendly and supportive amidst the big crowds, making our stay pleasant. The location was perfect, with easy access to various attractions in a quiet area. However, the dining experience was fairly typical, though fresh and well-presented. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
This hotel was a delightful find! The rooms were charming with French doors opening to a small balcony overlooking the water, which was just lovely. Finding a real bed for the third person was a pleasant surprise, especially in Italy. I can't wait to come back here after a fantastic stay, and the location was simply wonderful with lots to offer.
The hotel offers stunning traditional Venetian rooms with a modern edge, immaculately clean and more than comfortable for a stay, highlighted by extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location in Dorsoduro Sestiere provides a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere away from the touristy areas but still conveniently accessible, offering an excellent value for the experience.
My stay at the hotel was truly a mix of great moments and some room for improvement. The location was fantastic, nestled in the heart of Dorsoduro, close to major attractions and with a calm atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, but some aspects could be enhanced. The service was friendly and accommodating, with a few small hiccups. The dining experience, particularly the breakfast, was delicious with a good variety, yet there were some minor drawbacks. The facilities were convenient and added to the overall experience.
