The location is incredible, being very close to the Rialto boat station and San Marco. The room was clean and well-equipped. While the room was a bit small, this was not an issue for us as tourists since we didn’t spend much time there. The front desk staff were friendly. There’s a restaurant right downstairs, it’s a bit noisy when they wrapping up around 11pm and open in the morning. But only short period of time.
