Lovely clean hotel in a great location in Venice. The reception staff are excellent, the breakfast was good and the lady serving was lovely. Canal view, good bedding and a strong, hot shower. Small note, the shower is separate to the bathroom area and has no door or screen for those who want a little more privacy.

Beautiful hotel & it's in a great location for Rialto Bridge & St Mark's Square so we would highly recommend.
There is a free shuttle bus/water taxi from hotel pier that takes you to Murano where you are shown how they make the Murano glass. You are then shown round a very beautiful but expensive showroom. They then show you to the gift shop if you don't make a purchase but there is no obligation to purchase anything.
Only down side to hotel was that you had to pay to go in the spa (€25...

Loved staying at this hotel, which was only a 10min walk from the airport waterbus and similar to the main sites. Very friendly reception staff who showed the main sites and some useful places for food. The room was really quiet as it was facing the inside (room 7). Amenities provided were fine and bottled water was offered all the time. Would definitely stay here again
