"My husband and I are very frequent travelers and I will say the amenities and customer service at this hotel was one of the best we have had. We chose the rooftop jacuzzi suite and it was the perfect end to each night. Romana was extremely friendly & helpful throughout our stay and helped us with several restaurant and transportation reservations to ensure a smooth and positive experience. The two gentlemen working the mixology bar were also fantastic at their craft and provided excellent and friendly service. This will be our go-to hotel for future stays in Venice!"

"We had room 601, a modern suite on the 3rd floor facing the Grand Canal, right next to the Rialto Bridge. Wonderfully spacious. Double pane windows cut down on the outside sounds. They had a very good buffet. The location is excellent, an easy walk to many sites to visit and restaurants and shops. This is one of the few rooms that doesn’t have the “traditional” heavy furnishings, If you like modern, choose this room."

"Great location, using the boats get off at St Maria d Giglio, and you avoid all bridges and only one small step into the lobby. Remember, you are in Venice where space is a premium, some rooms smaller then others, #312 is a good example!"
