The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and offers great views. The rooms felt a bit cramped and had a somewhat unsettling atmosphere due to the many mirrors. The service was subpar with mixed experiences. The dining options were satisfactory though with some limitations. Overall, an average stay with room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable with impeccable en-suite bathrooms and plenty of hot water, but the street noise from vendors and nightlife was a bit bothersome. The location, right by the grand canal, was convenient for transportation, although it came with some noise and hustle. The dining and facilities had their ups and downs, with room for improvement in some areas.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had a very comfortable bed and a great terrace with a view of the Grand Canal, but the room setup was a bit average with twin beds pushed together instead of a single large bed. The service was friendly and helpful, with staff offering to assist with currency exchange, but the rooms were on the smaller side. The location was excellent, right on the Grand Canal and close to the train station, which was very convenient. The dining options were just okay, lacking variety, but overlooking the Grand Canal was a nice touch.

I had a love-hate experience with this hotel. While the rooms provided lovely views of the grand canal, they were unfortunately very noisy due to their location above the alley used for deliveries and trash collection. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being friendly and accommodating while others were gruff and unwelcoming. The location was convenient for travelers using the train station but lacked that special charm. The dining options were decent but not exceptional. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very nice and comfortable, with a good size, but the tiny window facing an ugly wall was a downside.

The hotel had a charming view of the river from the rooms, but the air conditioning was not very effective. The presence of squashed mosquitoes on the walls was a bit off-putting.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, surrounded by restaurants and shops, but unfortunately, the room faced a busy and loud street with some maintenance issues like a leaking toilet and cracks on the walls. The service was top-notch, friendly, and helpful, though not as attentive as expected. Dining was good but not exceptional, and the Grand Canal view added charm. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.

I was pleasantly surprised by the modern and clean rooms with a whole balcony, although there was noise from the room above. The service, while close to the train and boat stations, varied from motivated and wonderful to not very helpful and sometimes rude. The location directly on the Grand Canal was fabulous, making it comfortable to plan my stay in Venice. Dining by the canal overlooking the outside area was lovely, although the options were not extensive during my stay.

The hotel's rooms were spacious, but a bit tired compared to other areas downstairs. While the strong smell of the smoking room near our doorway was off-putting, the shower was especially spacious. The service was friendly and provided us with a free canal view upgrade and advice on tours. The location, though noisy due to tours, was beautiful facing the grand canal with its private dock for water taxis. The dining experience had good variety but felt a bit chaotic. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
