“The location, a quiet corner near the Grand Canal, immediately appealed to me. While some rooms need updating, those facing the canal, particularly on higher floors, are worth requesting for the views alone. I appreciated the substantial breakfast in the garden-a civilized start to a day in Venice.”

The location proved convenient. It was near the train station, which simplified arrival and departure. The staff displayed helpfulness. They gave clear directions. Breakfast had some good options, and the breakfast hall was lovely.
The room had some mold on the bathroom ceiling. There seemed to be insufficient ventilation in the bathroom. I found the lack of drinking water an issue. Only one small bottle per person daily was not enough.
