This hotel is in the most amazing old building overlooking the Grand Canal. Although altered several times since first built, it retains the essential character of its origins whilst providing excellent accomodation. Inevitably, in a building of this age, there is no elevator and the stairs are steep. The staff, however, are magnificent and whisked heavy cases to our room without a problem. The staff at reception were also extremely helpful in advising on all aspects of where to go, what to see and, most importantly, precise and accurate details of how to get there. The breakfasrt room with its balcony overlooking the canal provides a stunning outlook to start the day while a digestif or nightcap at one of the intimate tables on the private landing stage ensure a similarly unique end. We had a most enjoyable stay.

Tr?s bel h?tel. Notre chambre au RdC n'?tait certainement pas la meilleure (sombre avec un carrelage au sol un peu en d?confiture), mais elle ?tait spacieuse et tr?s calme. L'h?tel a de beaux balcons sur le Grand Canal pour prendre le petit dej ou un verre. Bon accueil et tr?s bien situ?.

Ease of reaching the property by water taxi a real plus. Free use of internet, full breakfast included in rate were other strong points, as were the extremely reasonable bar prices for cocktails. Staff very welcoming and gracious. Small balconies both down and upstairs provide a great spot to view the Grand Canal and watch the sun go down. Only negative was the a/c in the room did not seem to work very well while it seemed fine in the lobby. It is an old building so the bathrooms are not large and impressive, but very functional. If requesting a canal view, I'd recommend also asking for an uppper floor as we were on the first floor and the room was a tad musty. Overall I'd recommend this hotel for it location and charm. For the cost it cant be beat! The single room my daughter had was small but functional and had a large closet.

The room was lovely and the window view of the Grand Canal made everything that bit more special. We also enjoyed sitting on the dining room's Balcony for breakfast on a couple of days to enjoy the view. The location and quality of the hotel helped make the weekend a most memorable and romantic one - highly recommended.
