great locationadequate breakfastbasic bathroomaudible noise
The location IS fantastic , a short walk to both San Marco and Rialto. I appreciated that the hotel offered a water machine FOR guests , available 24/7. This helped to keep us hydrated during OUR travels. I found the breakfast choice to be adequate , with cappuccino available upon request.
The air conditioning in my room was not GREAT , and it struggled to cool the space. The bathroom was quite basic , with no special toiletries PROVIDED. The noise from the hallway WAS audible , which sometimes made it hard to relax.
