We had the 3rd floor balcony room overlooking the grand canal, what a wonderful view, worth the high price. The location was great, could not have been better. The canal rooms are noisy but the view made it all worth it. Breakfast was very good with all the normal stuff. The bar was great and service was excellent. When the dollar improves we'll be back.
Room 210 was small, plaster falling on the floor and the bed linens and headboard were very stained. I ask to be moved and was to room 105 possibly as punishment no view at all but the mechanical equipment outside my window. I liked the common areas and the water taxi stop was easy. I just wanted a typical room like what was shown on the web. I am in Italy once a year for 3 weeks, the Manin might see me again, this time I stayed 3 nights.
Excellent location on grand canal , but in a quiet backwater.Great views from rooms overlooking canal.Reception staff great. breakfast dsiasterous: too few tables/staff.One public sitting area by front door and one in the back with newspapers.Plumbing pretty basic. Even in huge bedroom , bathroom was small and skimpy.
The hotel has large rooms and is very clean. We were unfortunately sick so we didn't get enjoy our room overlooking the canal or Venice too much. But, the staff was friendly and the location was great! Would stay there again.
