Good location, and room was very clean, comfortable bed. The front of the hotel had a tendency to smell a bit of sewage but I think that is probably a fairly widespread problem in Venice...

The best hotel I stayed in Italy (and I stayed at many!). Brand new, modern, very clean, and they offer some small features you don’t find elsewhere, even a clothe steamer in the room! Staff was friendly, bed is comfy, it’s a little walk from the main attraction but we like to wander around anyway. More quiet-ish neighborhood but perfect for what we needed. If we go back to Venise we are definitely staying there!
