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.

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.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was very convenient, especially for someone like me with lots of luggage needing access to the train station and the cruise ships. However, the rooms were a bit of a challenge to reach, tucked away at the rear of the hotel. The service was not as helpful as expected, with staff seemingly too busy to assist, although the dining experience was simple but satisfying. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were nice and tidy but on the smaller side, and the air conditioning was quite noisy throughout the night. The service was excellent, with the staff being so polite and helpful, even assisting me with printing and scanning a document I needed. The location, right beside the train station, couldn't have been more convenient, especially after arriving late at night. The dining options were decent, not the best but satisfactory. However, the overall facilities were a bit disappointing with some dated elements and basic amenities.

Although the rooms were small and close together, making it easy to hear noises from neighboring guests, the hotel's location right beside the train station is perfect for travelers with big luggage. The service was competent and professional but lacked warmth, while the dining experience was average with limited choices. The hotel's facilities are satisfactory but showing signs of wear and tear.
