I really liked this hotel. It is sort of a boutique hotel, which orignally I was hesitant to book for Europe, as I wasn't sure if there would be a language barrier, if wifi/airconditioning not work well at such hotels, or if there would be an issue if the front desk wasn't manned 24/7. But I am so glad I did. All that stuff worked great. The hotel is very beautiful and charming. I loved that I could open windows (!). The air is beautiful in Venice, and I could hear the bells (I think all the way from St. Mark's). If I closed the windows, I got zero noise, though the little square the hotel sits in is quiet, anyway. It is extremely close to the Rialto water bus stop. Very easy to find. Close to all that is great and beautiful in Venice. the staff was very kind and welcoming, and willing to share info about the city. I had no problem getting in the door after-hours. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
