I was hesitant about this hotel, but ended up loving it. We had a room with a shared bathroom, which is not usually so comfortable. But the price and location were great, so we decided to go for it and put up with a mediocre hotel stay.
Valentina and her team completely turned our expectations around! Their level of service made our stay exceptionally wonderful. The room we were staying in was old fashioned, but lovely. Breakfast was delicious. We’re early birds and often ended up missing breakfast some days because we wanted to use our mornings to explore, so one time the staff actually made us a to-go bag with juice and water, and made sure we had some croissants and sandwiches to take with us! It was such a sweet gesture and really made our day.
The location is also incredible. If you go one way, you hit Rialto Bridge in 3-5 minutes. If you go the other way, you’re in San Marco Square. It really could not be better.
The bottom line is – this is a great hotel for travelers on a budget. Sure, it’s not the most fancy option possible – the walls are a little thin so it can be loud (but we had considerate neighbors so it was okay), of course having to share a bathroom is not so great (but you can book a private room if that’s a big problem), and maybe the furniture is not luxurious (who cares, really). If you want luxury, maybe a more expensive hotel is better. But for the price and location, plus the level of service, I doubt you can find a better option.
