“not bad”
for me its not bad but not a perfect one
“Fabulous hotel in everyway!!!”
Loved it-the rooms the restaurant, the food, the service, the concierge-all over the top!
“Over Priced”
Nice hotel but way over priced, but so is everything in Venice. The Bar staff were terrific, the conceirge and check-in staff were OK. I was expecting a canal view room but got no view at all.
“A hotel with 5-star prices and 4-star service”
My wife and I spent 5 nights at this hotel in late March'09. The hotel location is super. It's ~ 7 min to San Marco, ~15 min to Rialto and ~10 min to Academia. It's on the Grand Canal (although just a few rooms have Grand Canal views, ours didn't), a vaporetto station is around the next building. Because it's ON the canal, it's subject to floods. One happened during our stay. Boy, it was fun! Our room was very clean and not large, but enough for 2. The bed was super comfortable. All the walls are covered with fabric. All the furniture and mirrors are very old (or have antique look) - beware, high-tech lovers :) It's NOT a hotel for those who like modern deluxe hotels. Pricing for additional services in the hotel was the thing we didn't enjoy. For example, a buffet breakfast costs around $140 for 2! So, if we want to eat on the famous terrace, it's gonna cost you. Another example. If you want a ride to Marco Polo airport from the hotel, it'd cost you around $230. Also, we didn't like the fact, that we had to open the heavy hotel doors by ourlelves all the time. Not a 5-star hotel feel...
