Great location, convenient for travelling to and from the airport via Rialto ferry stop. Very close to the Rialto bridge. Great view over the grand canal if you have a room on that side. Check in and out was easy. Breakfast was basic continental, it's not going to win any prizes but it's good. Staff are friendly. The biggest issue and the reasons for the low star reviews is 1. The room was extremely tired, scratched, water damage, skirting and walls worn. The head board was worn. Room needs major overhaul, wasn't impressed with state of the room considering what we paid, and it was very dark, with some light bulbs out of action. 2. If you are overlooking the grand canal there is a very very loud "band" playing until midnight, you could feel the bass coming through the floor. It is also noisy in the morning from 5am with the bin boats and god knows what making loud noises, wouldn't be so much of a concern if you could get to sleep before midnight.
