This is the best hotel in Venice. Our hotel room has balcony and you can see the canal and gondolas 🛶😍 anytime. The room was so big, there was a bathtub 🛀, there was another room inside the room and there was a sofa and a mini table, a lamp. Breakfast was gorgeous 🤩 It was the open buffet breakfast. Croissants , apple pie, cafe, juice, egg, fruits etc. You can find lots of food. And You sit at the breakfast table according to your room number. This is so good. Hotel is clean, perfect location 👌🏻 Far away 5 minutes from famous Rialto bridge and San Marco area. I put the view of pictures our room. Room 9 , you will be always special and amazing for us.❤️

Great central location. Helpful staff.

We would have preferred left luggage to be kept in a locked room, not in the open at the bottom of the main stairs.

The vintage style of the room and decors were impressive. The room was very clean. The location is very central and nearby to all places

The food didnt have distinction between vegetarian and non vegetarian. I found it difficult and one of the kitchen staff was commenting atbthe back in their own language stating this lady doesnt know the difference. This was the kitchen staff on the march 5th. On march 7th, there was another kitchen staff who was very polite and she even helped in taking some of my pics etc The room was coming with canal view but i really had to peep out of the window really hard to see the canal

The breakfast was very good and held in a lovely room, with a good range of things to choose from. The location was close to main tourist areas- Rialto and San Marco. Best of all was the coop supermarket around the corner on the grand canal, so getting water and food at ‘regular’ prices was easy. The room was very quiet, perfect for a ‘relax & regroup day’.

Tiny room with enormously high ceiling. (For example, the mini fridge was under the desk so I had to sit on the side to write), the single bed was truly single (narrow- I would not want to be a large person) and although it was quiet, it was because it was in an end of hallway that the staff used for storing full garbage bags and cleaning gear that was right outside my door. No lift, but I was able to select a room on the first floor.

Staying at this charming hotel was a truly special experience. Housed in an old palazzo, the hotel beautifully preserves the atmosphere of centuries past while offering modern comfort. The fact that it is still in the hands of the original family adds a unique and personal touch to the stay. The location is perfect—just a five-minute walk from St. Mark’s Square—yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful. The rooms are small but cozy, with a lovely interior that enhances the historic charm of the place. Breakfast was a delight, with a good selection of fresh options to start the day. A special thank you to the wonderful woman at the breakfast buffet, whose kindness and warmth made mornings even better. The staff, in general, were exceptionally kind and helpful, making sure every detail was taken care of. If you’re looking for a hotel that offers both history and hospitality in the heart of Venice, this is the perfect place!

For us, it wasn’t a problem, but some may find it challenging to reach the upper floor with luggage.

the location was excellent, the room size was great, and the staff was very friendly and polite

better like some other hotels in Roma and Florence breakfast time starts at 7 am

There is obviously no elevator so when you book the room with the canal view, it is at the very top of the hotel and lots of stairs. The room was tilting a bit which was a bit strange - if you look close enough, the entire hotel is shifting and slanted. You had to go directly to the window to see the canals, it's not like you walk into your room and see the canals. I would not bother with a canal view next time (and I would stay there again). The room was very large and bed was very comfy. Washroom very small. The breakfast was underwhelming - they didn't tell us we could order lattes and cappuccinos. Very close to everything, walking. you don't need to take the water bus.

The staircase and the breakfast

Great location. Staff recommendations for eating spots were great. The hotel reflected to overall ambience of Venice, which is what we wanted. We had a complicated reservation as we added an extra day at the last minute, and this was not a problem.

Breakfast was adequate, but not exceptional. It is a little hard to find the first time, but easy to get to once you know where it is. The room was small (by US standards) but well appointed. We would gladly stay there again.

Convenient location to St Marks Square, etc. Short walk to water bus, water taxi, etc. Friendly front desk. Carried our bags up the steps to the first floor. Very accommodating when I requested a lower level as there is no elevator. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of choices - breakfast room was overlooking the canal. Made new friends there. Clean. Quiet. Best gelato was next door - Gelateria Mastro Cono! Close to restaurants and shops. Next door to the La Scala del Bovolo e Palazzo Contarini di San Paternian (see photo below). Room as shown on Booking photos. Note: GPS map is slow so give it time to catch up when walking through narrow streets. Also, beware of walking into a canal when following the map :-o

Accessing bathroom in room #1 was tricky as there was a step which could be dangerous if wet. Possibly add some traction strips to the step. Could use a few more pillows and luggage racks.

The location is perfect. Between St Marks Sq and Rialto Bridge but in a quieter area. I liked the quirky vibe of the hotel, and the staff were extremely friendly. Always someone on reception, which was very reassuring. On check-in, you get a map and a guide to where you are, etc....Still, if you have Google maps, it is much quicker to get around 😉

The stairs! I was on the top floor!! I'm relatively fit, so I survived 😀 However if you struggle, then I'd request a room lower down. I would also request a bigger room in the future...I was a solo traveller so my room was tiny with a single bed...really comfortable but would pay extra in the future for more space. The cleaners start very early, so if you want to sleep in, take your ear plugs!
