Hotel Rialto

Hotel Rialto

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms are small on the interior it must ask this information at the front desk or get a Canal view which seem to be bigger. Stuff was very kind and helpful we stayed three days and it was very pleasant other than upon arrival we had a tiny room in seven suitcases that didn't fit so we changed rooms it was a little bit bigger and helped a lot. The funny thing is the decor in some of the Halls old dolls elsewhere a little creepy. Front desk staff and manager or great as well as the bellman very helpful and kind. I would recommend this for the value and location. Oh and they served a full breakfast croissants were very very good. The eggs were always scrambled and a little undercooked for my taste other than that everything was great."

8/10 Good
"Nice rooms. Located very close to the Trian station and why I booked this location. However, the location of the hotel is in a run down area of the city. Lots of homeless. Dirty streets. Didn't feel too safe at night walking around. There is a Chinese restaurant nearby that was fantastic. I would book the location again due to the location right across from the train station. We took that to Venice island and to Florence. Parking is a block away and wasn't really guarded. Be careful walking from that location at night."
