a certain ‘plus’ element of the hotel is its central, perfect location, just less than 100mts from st.mark square, although in a quiet small place. the inside decoration and furnishing is tasteful of both common areas (breakfast room and reception) and rooms. hotel is thoroughly clean and well kept, breakfast (continental) is served buffet style in the small reception/sitting area room, on very small tables. the small-size of just everything in the hotel could be its ‘minus’ point. ceiling are low to very low (but this is common everywhere in venice), corridors very narrow, stairs steep and room on the very small size with no space at all for example to put a suitcase. other ‘minus’ elements for us were a too strong centralised heating we could not control, too many pidgeons outside of our window so to be afraid to leave our windows open to let cool air inside (among them one laid dead and not removed by hotel staff since several days i guess). an important negative element are definitely the steep stairs from the ground floor (no elevator at all) and inside the hotel itself which would let me positively not recommend the hotel for handicapped or elderly people, especially carrying heavy suitcases. for the rest my opinion is positive, otherwise, staff are kind and the general impression is charming.
