I had been in touch with Hotel Doge the day before our arrival to explain that we would be checking in late. I was assured by a member of staff in writing there would be no problem. Upon arriving at Hotel Doge the following evening by taxi, very late in the evening, we were told that we were booked in another hotel without any explanation nor apology. What really bothered me about this experience was that I find it not only impolite, but quite frankly "dodgy" that a "hotel" would wait until its guests arrived at 12.30 a.m., before telling them they have been moved to another hotel. They could have also contacted us with a simply phone call as they had this information but it is certain they simply don´t care. You should also be advised that you will not be staying at anything closely resembling what Hotel "Dodgy" pictures on its website. Concerning the rooms, well when I opened the curtains, I was greeted with small pieces of falling plaster on my head and the bathroom was a freezer, no heating, with mold growing on the window panes. I must admit the shower was clean and the beds were miraculously neat and comfortable but that is the best I can say about this hotel. Don´t expect anything from this place besides a great location.
