This was the worst hotel stay ever. We had 4 days of no hot water. There was no manager at the hotel. The receptionists just shrugged their shoulders. Refused to call management. Kept saying a technician was coming to fix it. In the end we went to another hotel. Otherwise the place was seriously run down and shabby.

Very poor service from a tired hotel

This hotel is very tired. The staff are very unhelpful too, which makes the hotel stay very frustrating. The Aircon was going all night and we couldn’t turn it off. It was freezing cold. When we asked the reception, they didn’t turn it off. We had to ask them three times to turn it off and they said there was only one Aircon remote control for the whole hotel. Then there was no hot water for the four nights stay. We asked the reception several times and they just shrugged their shoulders and said the engineer doesn’t work during the weekend so there is nothing we can do. Then the cleaner spilled a load of bleach in the room on the red carpet and didn’t tell us They placed one of our bags over the top of the bleach stain to cover it up, the next day they brought a rug to cover it up. The location of the hotel is good and it overlooks a very nice canal but I would not stay here again and I cannot recommend it to anybody else either.

WORST EXPERIENCE in my entire trip to Italy. Check in process is a mess, my family and I felt discriminated by the staff who was talking bad about our group amongst themselves. Our party booked a total of 6 rooms for us to be treated in such manner. The lady in the check in area literally said in Italian that she didn’t want us there or to deal with us as we attempted to book a 7th room since the actual room does not look like the pictures. The rooms are small, carpet smells musky and looks old and dirty. The second bed that is shown in the pictures is literally a mattress on the floor. Spend your money somewhere else. Treatment was so terrible that we actually left right after midnight, didn’t even sleep there.

- Was vactioning with my partner in Venice for 2 nights, requested a double bed and recieved two single beds put together. Wasn't able to check in until 3pm, when we complained at 4pm after we arrived and checked in, we were told rudely by the concierge that the workers who would be able to put on a pillow top over the single beds had left for the day and they won't be able to do anything until tomorrow. - Air conditioner leaked constantly, so the cleaners/management just put towels in the corner to stop the leaking. - The room overall had a weird smell to it, probably because of the aircon leaking onto the carpet. - The air conditioner was above the entry/exit door, so because of the leaking the floorboards swelled and opening/closing the door was problematic.
Towels used to reduce airconditioner leaking.
Damp carpet, causing underfloor to swell making it difficult to open/close the entry/exit door.
2 single beds put together.

Basic hotel but clean rooms & friendly staff

Had been worried by negative reviews but stay was clean & comfortable for the price. Reception staff were perfectly charming, friendly & helpful (not at all rude as others have said). A little worn and dated but overall a pleasant stay.

We only stayed 1 night and appreciated the friendly staff allowed us to store our bags until the 3pm check in time. We were not happy with the AC being stuck on 16 degrees all night. We tried to find the control for the heat pump/ac and discovered in the morning we hadn’t lost it- but all the ac boxes are controlled by the hotel and maintenance needs to change it. A very cold night for tired travellers. Aside from this the hotel was cute and staff were friendly

Hotel is rated a 4 star but the room was covered in a thick layer of dust, carpet had many large stains, bathroom was not cleaned and seemed used by previous occupant. Multiple Power Outages, no water or working TV in room. couldnt even open room window due the amount of dust on window sill and air unit. Horribly disappointed especially for what they charged for the nightly rate.

Unfortunately, this hotel did not meet our expectations. The room was much smaller than what was shown in the pictures, which made the stay uncomfortable. On top of that, the air conditioning barely worked, and the room stayed warm even at night — not ideal in hot weather. The most disappointing part, however, was the lady helping in the front she was rude to people who don’t speak Italian. Several encounters felt rude and unwelcoming, which really affected the overall experience. It’s a shame because the location was convenient, but sadly, that wasn’t enough to make up for everything else. I wouldn’t stay here again, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless major improvements are made.

This is a very nice old hotel. The staff were all very nice. We arrived late, and the dining manager allowed us to order some food to take to our room. My problem is with the reservation. I requested a room for 3 & selected a triple room. When we arrived, the staff said they received a reservation for only 2 people, so I had to pay for an additional person + the tourist fee. It cost me nearly $75 more for the exact room I had reserved.

The TV didn’t work and it would have been nice to watch some news. The shower water was warm to cold. Expedia indicated a continental breakfast available but that is extra. The room was quite small and our three beds took up the entire space, but I was fine with that, as I wanted three beds. Great location.

They advertise WiFi but in our "wing" of the property there was NO WiFi. The heater AC had NO control. They had to send someone from the staff to turn it on or off or to adjust the temperature. Bed was okay. Bathroom okay. Touch control lamps next to the beds turn themselves on and off during the night. Location was convenient. Hotel has a restaurant and food was just 3 stars.

The hotel room was in a different building than addressed. Not sure if it was part of the 4 star building that was advertised. There was no WiFi in the room. There was something saying “sound proof” rooms, but we could hear our neighbors in the middle of the night. We had no control of the temperature in the room. Also a welcome drink was advertised, but not delivered. Be sure to check the Google reviews before booking.

The hotel has a great potential. The staff is very polite and helpful, but the rooms need major renovation. Bathrooms are in poor condition as well as carpet. Internet is barely working, we tried to watch Netflix but it constantly got disconnected. We enjoyed the hotel’s restaurant. Food was good and ambient atmosphere was pleasant. We would stay in this hotel again, but as I said they need to update showers.
