"This was the best hotel that we stayed at while on our trip to Italy. Easy to hop onto the watertaxi, walk through St. Mark's Square and then short distance to the hotel. St Mark's Bascilica and Doge's Palace are just minutes away. On a colorful walking street and if you want a gondola ride, there's one practically right outside the hotel door. The room was beautiful and comfortable and the staff very nice as well as the breakfast buffet. My only complaint is that the bathroom has a barn door, so there was a gap and felt like less privacy. The shower in our room was very small so it might be too tight for a larger person, but it was fine for us. I would definitely stay there again and recommend the hotel to friends/family."
