The hotel is situated in an excellent location, right in the heart of the Old Town and close to the main restaurant area. The rooms offered a stunning view of the harbor and were quite comfortable. However, the service could use some improvement, and the price felt a bit high for what was provided. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but a few tweaks could make it better.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The location was just perfect, close to the Venetian Old Port and the beautiful garden that leads to the sea. The view from my room was absolutely fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the breakfast could have offered more variety, and the shuttle service wasn’t included in the price, which felt a bit disappointing.
