Review for Hotel Ca Leon D'Oro
Location: This place is very well located, just 50 meters (straight down) from Rialto bridge. It is near the center yet much quite. Just 5-10 mins from S. Marco, Doge's Palace and all Water-bus stops.
Room: The room we stayed in was for 3 people. It had a double-bed, and a single-bed placed opposite each other.
The room was clean and neatly kept and had beautiful old designer furniture that well-suited the artistic city culture. They provided complimentary items such as 2 bottles of sparkling water, couple of sachets of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, etc. which helped us to refresh every evening after our exhaustive trip.
The bathroom was very clean and tidy. It had all the required accessories such as towels, napkins, soap, shampoo, shower-cap, etc.
The double-bed is not as soft as the single-bed but was OK for us.
Host: Our contact (receptionis) was Giorgio was jolly and friendly.
He called us one day prior to our journey and briefly explained us how to reach the place by providing the water bus number, pictures of the landmarks, etc. He also called couple of times on our day of arrival until we reached the place.
He replied to our calls and messages, wherever we required help/information. In all, he was always ready to help.
Tips:
1) Do not open the windows for 2 reasons. Firstly, as there is no view outside the window. Secondly, the mosquito net installed has ways for mosquitoes to enter inside.
2) Ensure to carry some cash to pay for the 'City tax' (€2 for adults, €1 for children).
