Very good

The first room did not have a window. It was dark and oppressive and I felt very claustrophobic. Luckily we changed to much brighter room without the heavy wallpaper and opening windows!!!!’
Good hotel and perfect locate to terminal and local transportation

Great location
We love the location of the property, right along the Grand Canal.
What we didn’t like was the room and lack of comfort. After walking for hours we wanted an A/C cooled room with comfortable beds and pillows. The pillows were too thin and soft. The bed was also too soft and would shift on the frame.
I don’t mind the “old” look but I do mind it not being kept up. I love the charm of it but it could be better.
The A/C would blow warm air and there wasn’t proper ventilation. We had to leave the door open and the window open for fresh air.
Other than that, I would recommend this hotel for the location and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Which I think most will not find at other properties.
If you’re American, this is probably the best place to stay that’s budget friendly.
This is a real nice place to stay and also close to the piazza Roma making the commute easy via water taxi. Views from the hotel rooftop don’t disappoint
Very unique place to stay! The restaurant and the roof top bar are both fantastic! We were there in October and it was pretty nice outside most days and the air conditioning seemed to be turned off for the building. Which wasn't a huge deal as we just opened our balancy doors. This wouldn't have been a huge deal except the mosquitoes. I now have about 20 bites unfortunately which puts a downer on the rest of our trip.
I wasn’t expecting a lot and they didn’t disappoint! This is not a 4 star hotel it’s a 3 at best. We were supposed to get a room upgrade but got downgraded to a dumpy room with no heat and no blankets. The rooms and overall look of the hotel is dingy and ragged. Looks nothing like the pictures. If you have another option I suggest that.
This was probably the worst experience of my 30 year career as a travel photographer. The room still gives me nightmares. No heating or air conditioner. They said it was in between seasons. Had to sleep with the window open and no eye mask, ear plugs or sleeping pill could help to get a decent sleep. No coffee, no tea, no water just 2 miserable plastic cups. A 4 star room that was 1 star at best. I would suggest the manager/ owner see what hoteliers in the 21st century are like. Go to Tokyo, Singapore or Dubai. What a dump of a room. I wouldn’t put my dog up there. Avoid at all costs

Service very poor not friendly no coffee in room and not available till 7 am at 4 dollars a cup no ac even though it says it at booking shower old style with shower curtain
Would not recommend. The bed is very uncomfortable, the pillow was flat causing severe neck pain for the next few days. The bed has no comforter only a very rough cold cover. We had mosquitoes buzzing in our ears throughout the night. We were able to kill a few. The bathroom was ok, no complaints about that. Wouldn’t stay here again. The staff were friendly though so one star for that.
This must be the most spartan four star hotel we have stayed at. You get a bed, two towels, two plastic cups. No coffee maker, no water bottles, no extras. You want to charge your phone, you need to pull out a lamp from the socket. You will get old world charm in the form of physical keys to the room that you have to drop off at the desk before you step out or the writing pad next to the phone that doesn’t work. We found out that the city tax assessed in Italy depends on the star rating of the property, higher the rating, higher the tax. That might explain something.
