Very nice property. Slightly small and old but nothing out of the ordinary. Nice breakfast, lovely staff, great views, and walking distance to everything.

Hotel is perfect for location as very near bus station and railway station. Our air conditioning worked perfectly unlike a lot of the other rooms. I feel the hotel is a bit tired and out dated and could do with a coat of paint especially on the outside
Directly across the canal from the train station in Venice.. making it a great option if coming from other points in Italy by train.
Easy walk to points of interest in Venice.
Rooms were very good; a/c was nice on the oppressively hot and humid days of August. Shower had great water pressure.
Breakfast was great… when booking do yourself a favor and include the breakfast.
Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great staff and beautiful historic property. Unfortunately it needs some basic updates. Things like A/C, electrical outlets, plumbing did not work properly.

Great location on the Grand canal, best suited for water transportation to limit excessive walking.
The hotel is located right across the train station but to get to the hotel u have to climb a bridge to get to the other side with bags thats a hassle. The ferry terminal is also closely located. The breakfast staff are rude and non attentive. The front desk staff as well are not the most helpful.
We stayed here as it is one of only 5 wheelchair-accessible hotels in Venice, yet little details made it difficult to use a wheelchair in the room without a helper. Unusually, there was no mattress protector and when the staff saw that I'd put towels in the bed they set up layers of plastic (rather than fitted waterproof covers). It meant my husband slipped out of bed twice at night onto a hard floor. In the UK that would have been investigated and I would be in trouble for negligence! The orange juice was reconstituted but at least they had oat milk. The location, opposite the station, is only convenient if you can walk on water, but there is a delectable restaurant, Punta G just a little way behind the hotel.
Rooms are nice but definitely older style. The bathroom shower and door it strange layout. If not careful, can easily wet the entire bathroom floor. The roof top bar is nice for cocktails.
Hotel was not worthy the money we spent. Too expensive for what you get. Room is very outdated, card keys are not available, old fashion room keys that I can’t believe still exist. AC is very weak. Room is very small. Shower drainage was broken and when I called customer service, they told me to wait till next day to fix while my family wanted to take shower very badly. Staff are very cheap, I paid over $900 for 2 nights and they didn’t budge for 10 cents from the taxes that I owe, very cheap. Dinner at the roof was expensive and not many selections. Don’t recommend this hotel to any one.
Excellent location, right next to train station and several water bus stops. Very convenient with stores and restaurants right outside. Great facilities, very clean and spacious, especially the layout of the rooms. The service was great and staff were amazing. Would hope for a view of the canal next time
Luca was a terrific receptionist at the hotel. Friendly and helpful. Hotel has a beautiful view of the Grand Canal. Short walk from the main train station. Facilities show a little age and the rooms were warmish in July. Still, it had elegant charm and a nice breakfast. Amazing restaurant right next door. Good base for exploration of Venice.
