The hotel is small, but with character - it feels like every corner is thought out, nothing superfluous. We got a room with a view of the lagoon, and this is perhaps the main advantage. In the morning, you just open the window, and you can see the gondolas, the light on the water, and all that Venetian bustle, but without the crowd at the door. The interior is made with a ship theme, but not pretentiously - wood, brass, soft light, as if you were on an old liner, only without pitching. Everything is clear about the service. The staff is polite, not intrusive, they speak English calmly and without trying to push for additional services. The breakfasts are modest but delicious - fresh croissants, fruit, and really good coffee, not from the vending machine. However, the tables in the hall are cramped, especially when several couples are recruited at the same time. But the service is fast, and the feeling of fuss does not appear. The location is convenient - a quiet part of the embankment, ten minutes on foot to San Marco, while there is no feeling that you live in the midst of tourist chaos. In the evening, you can safely walk along the water, almost no one, and you can hear the waves slapping against the pier. There is no elevator, which can be inconvenient if your suitcase is heavier, but the staff helps without reminders. The room is clean, the linen is fresh, the air conditioner is quiet, nothing rattles or buzzes like in cheap hotels. The only thing that was a little confusing was that the walls weren't the thickest, and if the neighbors were loudly discussing plans, you could hear them. But, to be honest, it didn't bother, because the city gets tired in the evening, and you fall asleep quickly. The price per room is not low, but by the standards of Venice it is fully justified, especially with this view. The hotel is not about luxury, but about comfort, atmosphere and the feeling that you are not a guest, but a participant in an old sea voyage. I would have returned here without a doubt.Show More
