Not great.. location is fantastic
Very difficult to communicate with the manager and to get our key. We had to stand outside the hotel for 15 minutes until she finally answered. You should have a warning that there are many stairs… difficult for older people with heavy bags. The beds were horrible. Luckily there were extra blankets that we could put under us to make it more comfortable. No soap… again luckily we carry extra just in case.

Great location! Bed was uncomfortable since there were two mattresses instead of one and stairs are narrow to take luggage upstairs. Everything else was excellent.

Gt location but more of an apartment than a hotel
Love Venice and the location is fabulous. The listing shows with breakfast which this DOES NOT include. Despite the photos there is no facility for this in the hotel so you will need to find elsewhere.

Very good value in a great location.
This property is in an excellent location, literally 1 minute from the Rialto Bridge and the Vaporetto. The little laneway is very quiet, though the property is only a few yards away from a busy square. There are numerous good restaurants in the vicinity. The room was comfortable, spotlessly clean, with air conditioning and wifi. Unfortunately, the wifi did not work on one of the mornings, but it was fixed by the evening. The mattress was firm, with plenty of pillows and very comfortable. The bathroom was, again, spotless and modern.For the price, this is a great place to spend a few days sightseeing.

The Hotel is located in a very central location, just a few steps away from San Marcos Square with a lot of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area. The person who checked us in Ana was lovely and very helpful. Room was spacious and really clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a central and cosy place to enjoy the beautiful city of Venice

Place is difficult to search as closest neighbours are unaware of this property. It took us 30 minutes to search it with Goole app. Located in a narrow alley, 3 stories on a narrow stair case, no lift. Nothing much in room. No kettle. No tea, coffee.

Location is second to none. Literally a few minutes walk from Rialto bridge and waterbus station. Many shops and restaurants around, very convenient. Francesco was an excellent host. Clear instructions for everything and provided some very helpful suggestions. You do need to walk upstairs to the room, but it's really no big deal. Yes, indeed only one bottle of water per room is free. Can't believe someone made a big deal out of this :) Or just pay 2 euro if you need more, which is on par with restaurant price anyway. We stay there only for one night, but will gladly stay at this location if we come for a longer visit next time. We checked out right after breakfast the next morning and left our luggage there till around 3 or 4. It was no problem at all. And no extra charge :) A very good experience all in all.

Very welcoming and caring. helpful. . spotlessly clean. A little noisy at night as there was a cantina situated below our window so we had to close it. Beds quite comfortable . Extra pillows and blankets supplied. Shower good. Breakfast was self help but plenty of variety. Very convenient situation close to Rialto Bridge. Easy walk to St Mark's Square and Rialto Waterbus stop. Without an app quite difficult to find but we made it. Lots of eateries nearby and gelaterias. Loved it although it was not canalside. A happy visit with my grand daughter.

Amazing place to stay
Less than a minute walk from Rialto Bridge, this B&B is hidden in a small street but the welcome email did a fine job of giving directions that are easy to understand. I can't thank Francesco (the owner) enough for his hospitality and service. No elevator in the building but he helped us with our luggage. Great location. You're staying in the city center and everything you need, such as restaurants, water bus stop, is within a few minutes walk away. San Marco Square is only 10 minutes walk from this B&B. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed in room 4 and loved it. Room was clean and provided all the amenities needed. A nice complimentary breakfast was provided every morning with fruit, cereal, milk, coffee, bread, ham, cheese, and juice. I have no hesitation in recommending this place!

Great staff, great location
Can't beat the proximity to Rialto location-wise, and the biggest surprise was the hotel staff. Francesco, the manager, welcomed us and took time to explain the hotel, our room and the next day met us to walk through options in the breakfast room. He's also hilarious and gave great tips. We could depend on him, and Francesco put a lot of joy in our experience.

Great service and friendly staff
Consistent with other hotels in Venice, they don't have very large rooms, but the staff have provided great support during our stay. Right after we made our booking here in hotels.com, the hotel sent us an email on what special requests we might have, which is very thoughtful. We requested the room with a balcony and they were able to provide it. Especially there's a guy (sorry didn't ask for his name) who helped us checked in, he helped bring our luggage up the long stairs, showed us how the amenities in our room worked, helped us book restaurant and advised how we can reach airport. Thanks for his help!

Price, people & location
2 nights for vacation. The primary reason I selected this hotel was its location. We took the boat (orange line) from the airport and got off at the Rialto stop. The hotel was in easy walking distance from the stop and easy to find. It was down a small dead end street from the Rialto bridge. Even though it was in a busy area, it was still quiet. Since it was so close to Rialto, it was easy to find because there are tons of "Per Rialto" signs all over the island, pointing you back to your hotel. Check in was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The room itself was small but functional. The bathroom was smaller (even by European standards); the shower itself was about 2.5×2.5'. As noted in previous reviews, there are a lot of stairs (~30 to the lobby and ~50 to the second floor) and no elevator. Overall, I was pleased with this hotel, especially considering the price and location.

Convenient location for Rialto district and nice breakfast. However, 3-night reservation for two-person room included a grand total of 1 complimentary drink from the minibar. Not one per person or even one per night. I'd rather they didn't offer any at all. It would be less insulting.

Hidden gem in Venice!
Great location - close to everything only 1 minute walk from Rialto bridge. Small 5 room B&B means personalized service from the staff. Staff is one of the best parts of staying here! Rooms are clean and comfortable - adequate size. Beds are firm, pillows are a bit too firm, though. Shower is small (typical for Europe), but not a problem. Decor is traditional Venezian. Complimentary WiFi works just fine. Continental breakfast was more than adequate -- breakfast breads, fruits, yogurt, cereal, cold cuts of meat and cheeses. Also juices, milk, hot tea, and a coffee machine with everything from espresso to hot cocoa. Overall, a pleasant stay in this charming little B&B. It's not 5 star, but the staff are amazing, the rooms are comfortable, and the price is very reasonable.

Despite the stairs, GREAT staff and good LOCATION!
The most surprising aspect was the long staircase to climb just to get to the reception. The staff were delightful and helpful (excellent), although the room was just plain, with an adequate bathroom (plenty of towels). The breakfast was simple but good (although they ought to keep it open longer hours just to relax) Neighborhood was typical Venetian, and close to everything, with the Rialto stop just a short walk away. I'd say get an elevator! otherwise quite good.

Charming little place!
Excellent location. Staff was very pleasant...we were given the personal run-down of everything in the room when we checked in. Beds were hard...but seems to be the norm in Italy! Room was clean. Breakfast room was cute and set up nicely. Breakfast was adequate for us - toast, fruit, yogurt, cereal etc. We were only there one night and enjoyed our stay. Lots of stairs once you enter the front door.

Good central location
Hotel location is great as close to Rialto bridge and San Marco and 20mins walk from train station/Plazza Roma. The email instructions on how to find the hotel was good and found it straight away. Although hotel reception only available from 8am to 8pm, we had no problem with this and staff were very helpful.

Great location, just about one block from Rialto
Entire hotel staff is more than excellent. They bent over backwards to accommodate and answer questions. For example, we arrived in Venice by ship and didn't know how to get from hotel to airport on day of departure. A young man at the desk quickly gave us the options and then his recommendation. He printed out a map and a vaparetto schedule, told us which boat we'd have to take to get to the airport with ample time; the cost, etc. Likewise, for our common tourist type questions they always had great answers and recommendations and would print out a map and timetable, etc. When the hotel staff heard that we would need to depart about an hour before the breakfast room opened, they told us that they would leave out a supply of croissants and leave the room unlocked so we could still get a good breakfast before we started. Hotel is tucked away from the main streets, so the room was quieter than the typical Venice room. Also, their free high speed internet connection was very much appreciated.

Amazing location! Amazing!
The saying goes you get what you pay for but we got an absolute bargain considering the location of this place. Steps away from the Rialto Bridge so the fab staff and cleanliness were a bonus! It was somewhere for us to get our heads down each night which is basically all we need when visiting a place like Venice because we are out sight seeing from morning til night. Due to the prime location though we did call back to the hotel a few times through out the days for coats etc when it got cooler.

Awesome once we found it!
We had a great time and the staff did everything above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. They send us directions but we didn't read the email so got lost. Go to Rialto bridge. Walk thru to square with explorer statue. It's in an alley almost straight ahead, look for overhanging red and yellow lion sign. We has said it was our honeymoon so they had champing waiting for us.
