My friends and I studied abroad in Venice in 2009 and we decided to all go back together this year! We stayed here and it was incredible. We felt like kings and queens in this place. It is really Venetian so you feel like your getting that authentic old world venice experience. We were about an hour late to checkin, but Alain was super accommodating. The canal is a bit noisy at night, and the doors to the bathrooms are a big loud, but that’s what you get with an old place, and the opulence of the place totally made up for it. Also it’s really close to the train station and piazza Roma, so you don’t have to lug your suitcases over too many stair bridges. I would definitely recommend this place.
