Excellent location, great, friendly, and hepful staff, nicely decorated room with Murano glass chandelier and tasteful Venetian style furnishings. Overall a good stay. The only major downsides were that frequent noises from other guests in adjacent rooms, from outside, or from working staff ocassionally made it difficult to sleep or fall back asleep. The rooms and windows / doors need to be much better insulated with better soundproofing. There is also no air conditioning, so we needed to open windows to stay cool. However, these windows lacked screens and we had several buzzing and biting mosquitoes enter the room while sleeping. The bathroom is also a bit cramped and the toilet was tightly situated in the corner by a window, making it hard to use for anyone that is tall or large. Breakfast room is also quite small / cramped and you can only have buffet items served to you by staff. The staff was excellent, however, but it was a bit awkward and uncomfortable. There is a very lovely roof terrace with beautiful city views, but largely vacant and you need to call for any food or drink service. Overall a decent 3 star hotel, but you are mostly paying for the location. Truly one of the best and most central locations in Venice for sightseeing! Steps from Piazza San Marco.
