Location
Family-focused reviews and ratings
This hotel is a real hidden gem! Its location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Venice near San Marco. The staff were wonderful, so kind and helpful. I had a great time exploring Venice, and this hotel made it that much better.
Great location, friendly staff. Simple but clean room. Would stay again!
The location of this hotel is simply very nice! Being so close to St. Marks Square made exploring Venice so easy. The staff were also very kind. It was a wonderful trip!
Wow, what a find! This place is way better than its online rating suggests. The location is killer, super close to everything. The staff were so cute and helpful, it felt like a home away from home. Even though the decor is a bit old-fashioned, it had a charming, classic feel. The cleanliness was perfect - I especially loved how spotless the bathroom was.
I loved the location! It was so easy to get around. The staff were super friendly and helpful; and the room, while basic, was clean and comfortable. A great value for the price, especially considering its fantastic location.
