Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixup with my reservation, but the room turned out exactly as described. It was very clean, and the daily maid service was a nice touch. The room itself was plain, with just a bed, table, and one chair, but it served its purpose well. The price was decent for what I got.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms had some issues like a leaking shower and being old, the AC worked well which was essential during the hot summer days. The service was disappointing with the staff being rude and unhelpful. However, the hotel's incredible location near the train station and vaporetti stop was a definite plus.
The hotel's location is convenient, right next to the train station, making it easy to explore the city. The service was a mix of encounters, with some staff being friendly and helpful while others were rude. Dining options were limited, and it's best to explore nearby alternatives. The rooms had some issues, especially with poor ventilation and cleanliness, which affected the overall experience.
The hotel is conveniently located near the train station, making it convenient for travelers with heavy luggage. The rooms, although clean, are close together and lack some advertised amenities like a mini-bar. The service is a mix of helpful and rude staff. The dining options are average. Overall, a decent choice for its location and convenience.
Despite some shortcomings with the rooms, the hotel offers spacious accommodations and is worth the money. The service, though accommodating, had some authoritarian tendencies, but the location is outstanding, making it a perfect choice in Venice. The dining experience was excellent, providing a good choice of options beside the train station.
