the hotel location is good, but the room itself was disappointing. the bathroom lighting made it difficult to apply makeup. i was also concerned the shower would overflow because the water drained too slowly. it was not the best experience, and i probably won't book here again.

The location is excellent. It's a short walk to major attractions.

The room felt quite outdated. The furniture seemed old, and the wallpaper was peeling in places. It needs an update.

the location was superb near st mark's square and prime shopping sites! the concierge greeted us at the canal side door and took us to our room. the classic room included nice furnishings. net curtains hid the view, so it did not bother us.

i had breakfast one morning and it was dire. the waiters are not efficient or friendly. the quality of the food was probably the worst i have ever experienced.

Breakfast included wafer thin ham and cheese slices. They were almost carpaccio style. it was difficult to put on the plate, and it tasted bland? coffee looked to come out of a machine. it was served in silver jugs.

The classic room was small, but well furnished. I even saw a dull back wall. the net curtains hid the meagre view, so it didn't bother me much? the concierge who greeted us was excellent.
