The priority objective of any hotel should be ensuring your guests have a good comfortable sleep, or at least providing all of the infrastructure to give them every chance at sleep. But here at the Maggior Consiglio hotel in Venice, that goal seems to have been forgotten.
We booked two rooms for our family … placed on different floors, and quickly discovered no air conditioning in either room. To be clear, they have access to air conditioning but it was locked out and turned off. Our room was on the 4th floor and the room never fell below 26c. Additionally, no fans provided so zero air circulation. It felt like sleeping in a closet. We tried opening a window but aside from the fact that the alley below provided no air movement, it was also very noisy. Adding to the discomfort, guests on our floor decided it was a good idea to return to the hotel at 130 am yelling and slamming doors. Admittedly I enjoyed slamming my own door at 8 am when I discovered those guests were asleep in the room beside us!
Breakfast was decent … standard buffet with breads cheeses meats, juice and coffee.
Proximity to the train station was a goal and for this, it was a convenient location
