The rooms receive high praise from guests. They are airy and spacious. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning works well meaning the rooms are cool during the summer.

A few guests have commented that finding the hotel is difficult due to Venice's maze-like streets. The best way to avoid getting lost is to bring a map or hire a water taxi to take you to the door of the hotel.

A minor issue that some guests remarked on is that the breakfast room was a little cramped. There's a good solution though – have your breakfast in bed!
