I go to Venice often and usually stay in residential areas with friends. The trade off is long commutes for business. I tried this hotel in S. Marco fearful of the throngs of tourists but it worked out beautifully. All transportation and walks are oriented towards S. Marco so it's easy to travel on foot and not exhaust yourself. The...

centre to all attractions, specially st marks square, few steps from the main entrance are restaurants and shops , the hotel receptions/ front desk are friendly and helpful, since the hotel is in the middle of shops expect noisy most of the time .

Having been spoilt at L'Accademia in Verona ( qv ) first impressions of this hotel were not good : an undistinguished entrance, cramped reception, badly-worn carpets and a ( typically ) small double room with little storage space.

Lovely situation very close to St Marks square overlooking canal of Bridge of Sighs. Staff very good, amenities good and beds very comfortable. Booked via B A with flight. Fabulous holiday. Would recommend.

The Hotel staff was very accommodating for the few requests that... More

The Hotel has a nice little courtyard area to sit by the canal and have refreshments... More
