Wife and I vacationed to Italy for the first time. Venice was our favorite place and this hotel certainly helped that experience. The staff knew the area and were helpful, the breakfast was fantastic, the room was clean and comfortable, not to mention quiet. Hotel is on the water and a couple bridges away from San Marco, but far enough away to find peace and quiet. Several good restaurants near the hotel. Water bus is the way to travel and is simply a 2 bridge walk from hotel (Arsenale stop on red line). I'd stay there again.

Nice location, about 10 minutes from San Marco. Located right outside of the tourist crowd about a bridge away. Overall, nice simple hotel with a high price.

This is the perfect spot to stay in Venice. Just a few hundred meters from San Marco, still sufficiently far away from the herds crowding the beaten track to enjoy the surroundings by the lagoon. Very friendly staff in a relatively new hotel gives you a better standard and more value for money than most three star hotels in la serenissima.

Nice hotel with friendly people. I got a very adequate travel plan emailed to get me from either one of the airports to the hotel. The room was not very spacious but very clean and properly furnished. There was unfortunately not wireless internet.

This is a great little hotel, the staff are extremely helpful and the location is ideal as it;s slightly away from the main tourist drag but only a 10 min walk to the main square. There's a few ( very local ) good bars in the street and good places to eat which is fun. Many of the reviews will tell you that the rooms are small, well, dont under estimate this advice, whilst the room size is ok, and indeed amusing for while ( shuffling around the bed slideways trying to pass your partner can be fun ) it would get on my nerves after a long period of time, the rooms really are very small indeed, but, all hotel rooms in Venice are reasonably small thats Italy for you. Same goes for the bathroom trust me when I say the shower will leave you wondering about your dexterity ( you'll know what i mean). However, that said, for a few days this hotel is absolutely perfect i wouldnt necessarily recommend longer stays (over a week) as the claustraphobia may begin to seep in, but all in all, staff are very nice, room is well presented and clean, views are great, breakfast is good and we really enjoyed our stay..

Very good location wise, a couple of minutes walk from St. Marks square. Rooms clean and quite big. No noise at night time and fairly reasonably priced for Venice.

We loved the location (much quieter and more residential than the San Marco area, but still very close) and the view of the waterfront. The staff were extremely friendly and competent. We had a pair of adjoining rooms that could be connected to make a suite for ourselves and our young daughter. This is a wonderful hotel!

The hotel was perfect for me. I travelled alone, had never been to Venice before and wanted to feel safe and comfortable. Location was perfect, a little away from the crowds (too many tourists for my taste generally) but within easy reach of everything.

A small, friendly hotel conveniently situated just outside the main tourist area, but right on the lagoon. Interesting local shops and restaurants frequented by locals on Via Garibaldi - a change from very touristy San Marco area. To use the shower, you needed to be quite small (less than 90 cm waist)! We found it quite expensive, but then probably Venice hotels are generally more expensive than in other Italian cities.
