We chose this hotel partly from reading Tripadvisor reviews, and it lived up to our expectations. The location is probably unbeatable. To emerge from the hotel each morning to the heart-stopping beauty of the Grand Canal is an extraordinarily joyous experience: and, to be practical, it's a bonus that the vaporetto stop is only a few metres away. Our room was spacious and quiet, with the large marble bathroom and jacuzzi admired by other reviewers. It was all immaculately clean, and the maid service was irreproachable - unobtrusive and efficient. We too loved the front desk staff, helpful and friendly at all times. Breakfast we found pretty good by the standards of Italian hotels (where breakfast is often a perfunctory affair of bread, jam and coffee in pretty small quantities): this offered fair coffee and good espresso; lots of nice croissants and rolls; a reasonable if repetitive 'international breakfast' of scrambled egg, bacon and sausage.

Arrived with a riva water taxi, upon checking and having booked a standard room, they kindly informed me they upgraded me to a junior suite overlooking the grand canal, reception was very very good, front office dressed so smart transporting you back in time, rooms massive bathrooms full marble with jacuzzi, staff super diligent, breakfast excellent as well, I would so come here again with a beloved by my side!

Location is perfect.Staff is very helpful.Breakfast is very poor.Nothing to eat at all.

Right on the grand canal makes this hotel easily reachable by water taxi, alilaguba and vaporette. Friendly staff. Free room upgrade during our 2 nights. Good breakfast. Nothing to complain.
