I chose the hotel for it's location which is fantastic but would never return again. While entering the bathroom it became clear that this hotel doesn't care to much about hygiene: lots of mold in the shower, fungus on the faucet, urine on the outside of the toilet (after the first cleanup, I still needed to ask the reception if...

We stayed for one night. It was clean and Allesandro was very accomodating, friendly and helpful. The room was warm, but we had a fan. Its a bit strange sharing the owners bathroom with them, you feel a bit intrusive. It is very central to everything in Venice. Breakfast was made in Allesandro's kitchen, yogurt, breads tea/coffee. Very good for... More

the rooms are so small that there is barely any place to stand. there isnt enough space for 2 suitcases. we chose the hotel for its location which is superb but there are tonnes of better hotels in the same location. very disappointing. More

I'm glad that we weren't swayed by the negative reviews because we were pleasantly surprised by our stay at the Hotel Alcyone when we visited in May 2009. The location is fantastic - very close to St. Mark's Square and many wonderful dining options. On top of the location, there was a free daily breakfast -- nothing over the top,... More

Excellent hotel in all respects. By Venice standards price is good value. Book direct with hotel for best rate. Can`t understand the negative opinions expressed by some unless they prefer the blandness of cloned, multi-national sameness. This hotel is SO Venetian it is gorgeous, plus clean, friendly, helpful, safe & great location. Very good buffet breakfast with gondolas sliding past... More

This hotel was in a good location about a minute walk to St Marco Square etc but other than that I'd prefer to stay elsewhere. The hotel walls are super thin and this lead to very little sleep as there were people partying into the early hours on all nights, the room was very small but clean and not too... More

Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from Rialto and St. Marks. My single room was small (I expected that in Venice) but OK for the price. The bathroom was very small and restricted and might be difficult for a bigger person or someone with mobility problems. The continental breakfast was included in the price of the room and, for...

We booked ourselves 2 rooms through hotel website and received email confirmation as well. However, when we reached the hotel at ~10pm, we were told that there was some problem with our reservation and we would need to shift to another of their group hotel (Belle Arti) which is somewhat away from St mark's across Academia bridge. We had to... More

After reading previous reviews prior to going, we entered with some trepidation.........Entrance......a disarming mirrored corridor.....but friendly and attentive english speaking staff. Bedroom....? Well!! Tart's boudoirs - allegedly! - have nothing on this. Crimson everywhere; sumptuous tapestry "wallpaper" overpowering for me, though expense not spared. Small double; but par size for Venice........... Hotel clean and well appointed. Good location - 3... More
