You couldn’t ask for a nicer room with a balcony overlooking the Venetian Harbor. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help us get taxis and a rental car. The breakfast buffet had a lot of options and was a nice way to start everyday.

Perfect hotel in the perfect location. Located in the heart of the old town with beautiful views of the harbor. We had no issues with noise at all despite the lively town. We appreciated the concierge’s help setting up transportation for us. They were kind and helpful.

The only Negative I have is those stairs Lord have mercy. They will make a man or a woman out of you. Other than that, this was one of the best hotels I stayed at. The staff was excellent. The location is perfect. Just make sure they have your taxi driver scheduled for any transfers because there was a hiccup coming into town my taxi driver I don’t know what happened to him, but regardless, I was still able to enjoy my stay

The bedroom was large and felt very comfortable with high ceilings, although we didnt have views of the water we had views of the cobble stone street which was pretty also. The windows are sensored so when you open them the air-conditioning turns off. I wouldnt recommend staying here if you plan on hiring a car as parking would be difficult or if you found it hard to walk as there is no lift access and getting bags up and down the stairs is difficult especially if you opt for the higher level. Staff were accommodating and friendly, one of them offered to assist in carrying one of our bags up the stairs.

Great!!

The hotel itself is so cute and the bed is SO comfortable. Our room was on the non-port side so it was quiet but I imagine it could be noisy if you have a waterfront view. No elevator but our room was on the first floor so that didn’t bother us! Luggage storage was convenient. Breakfast was supplied. We would stay again! The staff were friendly well. Location was great for access to the port. Insider tip: If you are going to use the bus station, keep in mind that it is hilly and you will be carrying luggage for about 10 mins up and down hills.
