This is the definition of a 'you get what you pay for' but not necessarily a bad thing! We arrived late at night and Maria greeted us and showed us to our room (6). The rooms are very suited to what I expected to see in Venice. Maybe slightly dated but the gold and flower paintings just added to the ornately room. They won't be to everyone's taste but I think they were lovely! The hotel is super basic but it has what you need- a clean and safe place to rest and wash. Just for some background the owner Maria stays in the building on the top floor. As mentioned in other comments the host speaks little English but through gestures and her basics you can get by. She is super friendly and always working. Breakfast is between 7-10am and you just call when ready for it. Nothing to rave about sadly but the hotchocolate was good!You got 2 cartoons of juice, 2 crossiants and some Melba toast as well as your hot drink. All prepacked but would be fine if it was purely energy and not enjoyment. Towels and bath mat was changed daily and always kept nice and clean! There is a small hairdryer in the bathroom and a free safe in the room The hotel is a little bit out the way of the main tourist areas but I wouldn't deem this a negative.

The hotel is a little bit out the way of the main tourist areas but I wouldn't deem this a negative. We preferred it. St mark's Square is about a 20 mins walk but the ACTV (public boat transport) is about 7 mins away.

Also someone else had said about being back at 11pm which worried us. This isn't true. The door is locked at 11pm but you just buzz to get entry. She answers within seconds and has a camera to see who she is letting in. I don't know if they had a little miscommunication.

The main negative is the paper thin walls. We were aware every time someone went up and down the stairs or Maria and whoever else were on the move. Our room had the washing machine above it and god the noise! It was horrificly loud but only used between 11am-6pm that we heard. You were wary of the noise you made in your own room incase disturbing others. We could hear the conversation of our over the hall American neighbours daily!

Maria did try and whisper when in the hall but it was rather pointless.

Overall I think its worth what we paid! It was a great base, clean and safe and that is all that we needed. I would stay again and would recommend it but just arriving being realistic of what to expect for what is paid. We loved it and hope you do to if you visit.

Time social bar about 3 minutes walk away became our favourite drinks spot so would also recommend there! More
