My husband and I stayed at this hotel in Venice...and to our surprise, it was one of the nicer…read morerooms we stayed at during our 2 week trip in Italy this autumn.
We had a double room on the 3rd floor (Room 322), it had a double bed and 1 twin bed. The windows faced the courtyard, which is really nice because there was a view and we could open our windows at night to listen to the live music playing from the courtyard (aka plaza) downstairs.
Bed was clean. Walls were painted red.
Bathroom was small, but it was modern! Shower screens were glass, and sink was modern and worked! It was all compacted into a small space that is typical of all Italian hotels.
The drawback of this hotel was = NO TV. Not sure what happened here, but our room didn't have a TV. I guess they assumed that no one would be watching TV in Venice anyways, since there's so much to explore outside of your hotel room. They were right. :)
Also, while they claimed that there was FREE wi-fi throughout the hotel, we couldn't get ANY wi-fi reception beyond the 2nd floor. If you're desperately in need of wi-fi from your room, I'd recommend that you ask for a room on the 1st or 2nd floor, because there was no connectivity on the 3rd floor and beyond.
No elevators, so everyone had to lug their suitcases up 3 flights of stairs. Just keep that in mind when requesting your room!
Breakfast is not included at this hotel; however, they give you a 50% off voucher to go to the cafe next door to buy pastries/coffee/drinks, if you'd like. We didn't end up using the voucher, so not sure whether the breakfast cafe is any good.
Receptionist personnel were nice, friendly, and could provide you with maps + instructions on how to get to the airport bus, etc.
What I liked most about this hotel was that proximity to the vaparetto stations and the closeness to the bus / train terminal. It was just a mere 5-10 minute walk to all transit centers! :)
If I were to come back to Venice again, I wouldn't mind staying here for a no-frills, budget-friendly, and modern/clean/well-maintained hotel. One suggestion -- Please work on getting wi-fi to the top floors as well!!! :)
