If the lift from the street to the third floor is not working, there will be eighty-nine steps to climb. Room 6 is a double overlooking the street. It has a mirrored wardrobe, desk, and an orange chenille bedspread. The bathroom is decent, and the shower does have a curtain. If traveling alone, No. 9 is a sunny choice, also on the street.
All rooms come with a color television and direct-dial telephone.
Breakfast is served at marble tables stretched along a hallway. Management is friendly and the neighborhood is top drawer. For my battered Cheap Sleeping fire, the Locanda Fiorita is without a doubt one of the best one-star values in all of Venice. The ten-room hotel is off Campo S. Stefano on Campiello Nuovo, an inconspicuous square in the premier San Marco district. The entrance is upstairs, through a contemporary, reception area with beamed ceiling, a collection of Venetian Carnivale masks hung on gray walls, and a display of Murano glass.
