Royal Loft is in a great location since we loved spending time at St. Marks square at the end of the evening. Our host was there to great us and go over how things worked after we arrived. The bed was comfortable and there was a/c which is important when it's warm. There were church bells all night long but it's not bad if you shut the windows. There's 3 flights of stairs to reach the Royal Loft which was fine for us. There's no view, but if you want that you'll certainly be paying more. We recommend a resturant within steps of the door by the name 'Al Chianti'
