My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were quiet as requested, they didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the website, and they could use a bit of a touch-up. On the positive side, the service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff who even arranged a private boat ride to Murano. The location was superb, within walking distance of iconic landmarks like St Mark's Cathedral and the Basilica. Dining was pleasant, with a variety of delicious options. The facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were very spacious, with high ceilings, a big king-sized bed, and all the usual amenities. It was a bit disappointing that there were limited English TV speaking channels, but the hotel goes the extra mile by offering mimosas as well. The garden looked lovely although it was too cold to enjoy during my visit, but I can imagine it being a great spot for afternoon drinks in warmer weather.

I had an incredible stay at the hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with a breathtaking view of the canals passing by the Bridge of Sighs. The service was top-notch, from helping with restaurant reservations to making our visit extra special. The location couldn't have been better, just steps away from St Mark's Square and the main water taxi station. The dining experience was exquisite, especially on the balcony overlooking the canals. However, the facilities fell short of expectations, and the price could be a bit steep for some travelers.
