The hotel was very traditional and in a fantastic location, about 20 minute walk to the square and very close to lots of great reasonably priced bars and restaurants.
At the hotel We were always greeted very warmly by staff, particularly Mustafa! Our room was spacious and clean.
Breakfast was simple but enough, with pastries, toast, fruit salad, eggs, hot and cold drinks etc

Lovely room. The staff were very lovely and accommodating. The first member of staff gave us an excellent recommendation just down the road from the hotel and it was beautiful food for our first meal in Venice. We would stay again x

Loved it
Our stay was amazing! The service was top-notch, and we were delighted to receive a newly renovated room. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet part of the Castle area, yet conveniently located just a one-minute walk from a supermarket and several excellent restaurants. Highly recommended for both comfort and convenience!

An Absolute Gem
Everything about the hotel was amazing. We were well taken care of by the staff upon arrival. The breakfast was fantastic, the room was impeccably clean, and the beds were comfortable. If you want to stay in a neighborhood in Venice full of locals and not day tourists, I couldn’t recommend this hotel any more. I would %1,000 stay again.

This is an old property converted to a hotel so rooms and access are not uniform and stairs are part of the experience. Outlets were sparse, but toilets were modern, and AC was comfortable.

I contacted the hotel the night before arriving for transportation from airport and Mustafa at the front desk was great to give us directions :) We had an issue with the lock and the key broke One guy at the front desk was annoyed by it however someone else assisted with replacing key the fallowing morning Not ideal room next to dining area where breakfast is served every morning and you can hear everything The bathroom had drainage odor and we cover drains with towels to keep smell from coming out not successfully :(

Would recommend
Could not fault anything about the place.
Immaculately clean, especially the en suite.
Staff are all very friendly and helpful. They literally could not be kinder.
Breakfast was excellent, even catered to our gluten free needs.
Even after check out, held our bags for as long as we needed.
We would highly recommend.

Everything was excellent, especially Mustafa, the person who is in charge of the customer service. He guided and supported us every single day. The breakfast and the person in charge was very kind and helpful, too. These people, along with the person who does the cleaning were phenomenal. Thanks Mustafa for everything you did for my family.
The Salgado family loves you.

Great location away from the tourist mobs
Anna, Mustafa and the woman who prepares breakfast and cleans all the rooms are delightful and so helpful! There was a problem with the hot water but the location is terrific. It’s Venice so one must take a water taxi but it’s followed by a lovely walk through the park. Thanks, folks!

Hotel was just okay. The staff was nice enough, but left a lot to be desired. The location is fairly far from the train station. Google Maps will tell you to get off the ferry boat early, then walk for 30 minutes. Instead, board at the Ferrovia stop, and take it to Giardini. Then it’s a 5 minute walk to the hotel through the park.
The hotel itself was decent and clean. The lobby smelled a little funky, like sewage, or someone was hotboxing it with farts. It smelled different with different staff. We had two twin beds which were weirdly close together, and smaller than twin beds in the United States. Around 7am, people would be outside moving carts and making a lot of noise, so be aware.
The real downer was breakfast. It was terrible. The scrambled eggs were likely powdered, definitely not fresh. The assortment of meats, breads, and cheeses were all cold and the toaster was broken. There are several decent cafes nearby that had better options.
