Wonderful Stay

This is an excellent hotel. Everything from staff to the appearance to cleanliness to breakfast was awesome. We also each had a massage. Wonderful! Only disappointment was the pool was not a single due to construction. It is close to mega shopping and lots of restaurants and of course the river. We had a river view and loved riding in and watching the Gondolas. We will definitely stay there again. Also We arrived on my husband’s birthday and we went out to dinner and when we returned back to our room the staff had left a tray of fruit and parties and a bottle of wine with a birthday card. An excellent touch.
Martha, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Boa experiência, mas esperava mais de um Meliã

O hotel deveria repor garrafa de água todos os dias. Outros hotéis na Europa fazem isso gratuitamente. O serviço do bar é caro e a comida é razoável. A localização do Hotel é boa, fica próximo (10 minutos a pé do centro). O estacionamento público em frente é um terreno com muitos carros estacionados, mas sem riscos.

Very expensive for what they offer

The hotel is well located, but the buffet food for dinner and breakfast is very poor, the premium room did not have a bathroom, very expensive for what they offer
