Province of Padova Holidays

It just needs a little upgrade

Great boutique hotel with charming furnishings that give it a historical feel consistent with being in Venice. The person at the front desk, Dylan, was wonderful. Very helpful and friendly, and went above and beyond to make our stay excellent.

We stayed here for New yrs Eve and New yr in the canal view rooms with balcony.This is amazing place and the location is very convenient for restaurants and ferry. The staff was very helpful, and went above and beyond with our needs. The place is very clean and neat.

Excellent place to stay in Venice, highly recommend

Check in was quick & painless once we found the desk. Although we booked San Marco Palace, check in was at Royal San Marco around the corner, which wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have to drag bags over bridges and steps. Although we were early, they kindly stored our bags until our room was ready. I confirmed before booking that the hotel had a lift. However, our room was a walk down the hall, outside, through a keyed external door, up a flight of stairs, 1 floor in a lift, down a long hallway, more stairs, another lift, through another door to outside, walk a few doors outside, into another keyed door, up another flight of stairs to a lift, down a hallway to our room door. Inside the room door, another half flight of stairs down to access the apartment. If our 83 year old mother wasn't with us, it would have been less of an issue but beware, the family suites are nowhere near the lobby or breakfast room. Good: location, spacious apartment, 2bedroom, 2bath, large living room, small kitchen and looked to have been lovely in its day. Bad: Furniture is old and worn, mattresses are thin, worn and uncomfortable. Pillows are flat and only 1 per person provided. Kitchen had only bottles of water in fridge&disposable plastic cups. No cutlery, glasses, plates...nothing. We requested extra pillows & finally tracked down the maid on day 2 & asked her directly. An electric outlet in the master bedroom was falling out of the wall and unsafe. No water taxi access-dragged bags thru
