This was a terrible hotel. Granted, the historical significance was interesting, and it was nice to stay at an old Venetian mansion. And yes, the location in the heart of Venice was convenient. However, that does not excuse the poor service and condition of the hotel. I booked this place last minute, because it was the only room I could find in Venice on short notice, and I paid a hefty price. The room was extremely small, and the air conditioning was completely run down. I got closer to it and saw dust collecting in it, so I didn't even bother sleeping under the sheets. In addition, they don't have 24-hour reception, so check-in and check-out were an absolute nightmare. To top it all off, the man cleaning my room was extremely disturbing; he was watching pornography, as I was in the room, while cleaning!! In conclusion, don't let the convenient location and historical background fool you. This place is horrendous. read more
