I appreciate the Venetian-style décor, which nods to the building's history as the residence of Canaletto, while still feeling fresh and modern. It's a good starting point to discover Venice.”

The staff were very friendly. They answered my questions and gave advice. The room was elegantly decorated and clean. It was serviced daily. The location is ideal for visiting all main sites. The hotel is down a quiet passageway, just a four minute walk from the Rialto bridge. Piazza St Marco is five minutes away. This location is really very central!!!
The stairs were steep and narrow. There was no lift for luggage.

The location was great, only five minutes walk to rialto bridge and st mark's square! the staff at reception were amazing. They were very helpful with directions and recommendations. my room was perfect and cleaned daily.
My room felt a bit small and could use some updating, i recommend upgrading if you can. the toilet paper was located way above my head. I did not understand that. the air conditioning was not working well so the room got hot at night.
