The hotel had a damp smell like clothes left in the washing machine too long, but the room had a decent amount of TV channels. The window facing the afternoon sun made it feel like a sauna, but the location was fantastic. The service was doing the job but felt a bit distanced, with hard pillows. The dining experience was a mix of good food with unfounded snobbiness in a beautiful garden setting. The facilities were adequate.

The hotel has a beautiful aesthetic and offers delightful garden views from the rooms. The cupboard space could have been better, but the charming balcony made up for it. The rooms, although small, were decent, but the overpowering smell of cleaning products was off-putting. Breakfast was average for the price. Avoid the machine coffee and opt for the real Italian coffee in the lobby.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite being reasonably sized and clean, could use some updates, especially in terms of heating and bathroom facilities. The service was decent with staff making an effort to run the hotel smoothly, although not all were very welcoming. The location, while close to some attractions and the water bus station, was not the most convenient for exploring all of Venice. The dining options were limited, and the cramped dining area made it a bit chaotic. However, the complimentary bread was a nice touch.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms exceeded my expectations in person with their air conditioning but felt small and dated. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being extremely unfriendly while others, like Sokol and the lady, were very helpful. The location was lovely with a nice garden, but it needs some investment to reach a 3-star status. The dining options were average, lacking variety and fresh options, but the packaged products were good.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, located in their annex across the street, was small but tastefully decorated, giving a unique experience as if staying at the hotel itself. However, it felt dark and outdated with an odd window design resembling a prison. The service was a bit lacking, with staff not being very helpful, but the hotel offered good internet and a nice bar with cheap limoncello. The location was a highlight, perfect for access from the port and Santa Lucia Station, near major attractions yet away from the crowded areas. The dining options were varied, from totally inadequate to high-quality and convenient, with a standout dish being the exceptional octopus millefeuille. The facilities offered were sufficient to enjoy my stay, but some drawbacks like the malfunctioning air conditioning and limited croissants affected the experience.

The rooms were small but clean, and the service was mostly helpful and polite, albeit a bit moody at times. The dining options were nice but lacked variety in fresh items like vegetables and bread.

The hotel had a mixed experience with some drawbacks, such as a room with an alley view that had a slight musty smell and stains on the wall, but it was isolated outside. Service was excellent, especially with the lovely madam who prepared coffee for everyone, though the tea served was only lukewarm.
