Superb Location!!

You simply cannot beat the location this hotel offers to St. Mark's Square (literally a 1.5 to 2 minute walk). We easily walked to the Grand Canal / Rialto Bridge every night, too, within 5 minutes. Now, onward to the cons. As with all European "less than 5 star" accomodations, the room was tiny. My husband and I are both under 30 and found the bed to be as firm as a concrete slab. Also, if you are a pillow person, prepare yourself for a 2" thick pillow. The front desk did not have extras?? Since the hotel is located on one of the side streets, the noise was a little bit much in the early AM. You could hear the trash crews and 5am staff setting up the restaurant across the way. All in all, despite the negatives, we enjoyed our stay. The staff was most helpful in terms of suggesting restaurants, etc. Enjoy!!
