“In my opinion, the location alone, steps from St. Mark's Square, makes it a compelling choice. I think that the hotel embraces its Venetian heritage in a genuine way, extending to a breakfast buffet that adds to the local flavor. While some rooms might feel a bit compact, the attentive service and overall ambiance offer a worthy experience.”
