Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bad:
The shower in our room was insanely small. If you are a big guy, it may be a problem. Water was good but I had to be careful not to turn off the water with my chest.
Also storage is a problem. There is one cabinet for hanging clothes and that’s it. Yes, this is a new norm in many swanky hotels. But I hate working out of a suitcase the entire time.
The good:
Amazing location !!!! We had a canal view room and could open our windows and experience a constant visual and audio theater of the gondoliers, as this is like a hub for them where they keep the boats overnight next to the Hard Rock Cafe.
You can be in st marks square in less than a minute; it’s that close. Realto bridge is only a 5 minute walk, and you will find dozens of restaurants in short walking distances, and dare I mention even a Chinese restaurant a minute away.
On our last trip to Venice we stayed at a highly rated hotel with amazing amenities including a rooftop pool, but it was a huge hassle to have to take water taxis for every activity. This was a much better experience being able to go anywhere we pleased without having to sit and wait for boats to shuttle us back and forth.
The hotel is easily reached by water taxi as they have their own water entrance so arriving and departing are simplified. I arranged shuttle service from a ship arriving in Trieste which involves a long drive and a water taxi, but relatively easy to accommodate, albeit a bit pricey.
