Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

perfect locationpoor air conditioning
the location was indeed perfect, only a few steps away from a main square.
The air conditioning was not working well. I notified the front desk multiple times. accessing the accommodations was horrible because i had to pass through a storage area and garbage bins. also the restaurant staff often rested in this area, so it felt very dirty and unpleasant

excellent location!

great locationnice restaurantsefficient air conditioning
the hotel's location near san marco square was a big plus. i found several good restaurants in the small square by the hotel. the air conditioning worked efficiently, maintaining a cool room even with outside temperatures above 34 degrees celsius.
the noise from the square below could be disturbing late at night and early in the morning.
