Really hard to find

We took this hotel because of its great location but it took over an hour of wandering around and questioning shop owners before we found it because it is pretty hidden, the signage is bad, and the address in Expedia and the emails was WRONG. In the end we didn't even stay there. The staff - who had very poor English - took us to a small apartment a few blocks away instead. The experience was quite negative.

早餐很好吃的旅店

房间很干净整洁，虽然是与别人共用浴室，但是浴室也非常干净，很不错。早餐尤其赞，品种不是特别多，但是味道很好，服务员很nice。这个酒店只有3、4层，餐厅在3层，我们住的4层，所以没有遇到其他旅客所说的，要经过餐厅才能去浴室洗澡，早上也没有被准备早餐的声音吵醒，所以感觉还不错。浴室也是两个房间共用，人不会很多，第二晚隔壁间没人住，相当于浴室就是我们自己在用，挺不错的。酒店离圣马可广场也很近，走路不过十分钟。

stayed here for 4 nights and loved it,

very close to everything, 5 mins walk from the rialto bridge and couple more to the st marks square, very quite hotel as its at the end of the alley, so no noise at all, room was beautiful and had a bath shower and all you need, my only fault was the air con unit was very loud at night it turns off and on every 10 mins which wakes you up and you cant control it, its on permently at night. no control switch anywhere, so when it kicks in it wakes you up. but apart from that it was fantastic, just take ear plugs and all will be well. breakfast was adequate with fresh orange juice, coffee and tea, cerial. or ham and cheese rolls etc, the lovely lady in charge will make fresh cuaisonts too. we filled up at breakfast so only bought sandwich or pizza in little shops down the alley for lunch. the bedrooms are on the top floor so lots of walking up stairs and the breakfast room is right outside the bedrooms which is odd but it works. really loved this so will definetly stay again. I give it 5 stars.

Jeśli przeczytać uważnie wskazówki jak trafić do hotelu można go znaleźć bez problemu chociaż brak jest większych oznakowań. "Z placu Campo S. Maria Formosa idąc przez mostek nad kanałem wejdziesz na Ruga Giuffa i tam skręcając pierwszą w lewo w ślepą uliczkę po lewej pod koniec znajdziesz wejście do hotelu" Hotel czysty z miłą obsługą. Standard adekwatny do ceny jak na Wenecje.

Very good location, good price

The hotel was ok, I mean, it wasn't expensive, so we didn't expect the Palace. They offer wifi free, but if you want to have connexion you have to go to another hotel. They don't have receptionist or reception service, the cleaner did our check in, no phone connected in the room, so if you have any issue, you can't call anybody. People is nice and friendly, but the facilities and service is very poor.

Close to Arsenale :)

Nothing is far here, but when you walk all day and everywhere it's great to live central. Rooms are very clean and Breakfast is plenty, croissants fresh and warm and eggs always well cooled. You can expect your morning coffee to arrive instantly when you get noticed. WiFi had broken down during our visit unfortunately, but I didn't arrive here to work so it didn't matter. Excellent value for fit and younger traveller - there is some distance to carry your luggage if you arrive on vaporetto and stairs to climb to you room, so maybe not so suitable for elderly.

interesting to say the least

after finally finding the place, we went to another location to check in and then got our keys. it is about a 15 minute walk from the nearest water taxi. if you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you to stay. after a flight of stairs we reached the top floor. the unit is basic as it is in a 1500 year old building. breakfast was ehh and there is no real rush or sense of urgency to get things out in a timely manner. everything here is on a different time frame. slow and slower. but hey, it is Venezia after all and shouldnt rush a good thing. It was interesting and exciting all at the same time.

Unerwünschter Besucher in der Nacht

Die Hotelzimmer waren ganz nett eingerichtet und das Frühstück war vollkommen ausreichend. Jedoch wurden wir bereits in der ersten Nacht von einem Unbekannten in unserem Zimmer überrascht. Wie sich später, durch unsere Nachfrage, herausstellte, handelte es sich um einen Angestellten. Trotz abgeschlossenem Zimmer verschaffte er sich Zutritt und verschwand wortlos wieder, als er uns erschrocken im Bett hochfahren sah. Das Personal sprach erschreckend wenig Englisch und konnte uns nach der zweiten Nacht nur mit Händen und Füßen deutlich machen, dass wir doch bitte in ein anderes Zimmer ziehen sollen, Eingangstür zum Frühstückssaal hin. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig und befinden sich größten Teils direkt am Frühstückssaal. Ab 8 Uhr ist man also spätestens wach und muss erst einmal den Saal samt Frühstücksgästen durchqueren um ins Badezimmer zu gelangen. Trotz Angaben in der Hotelbeschreibung, gab es leider kein Wlan.
