If you are looking for a place that is right on the Grand Cana, next to many shops, bakeries, cafes and restaurants and has a charming authentic Venetian feel then this is the place for you. This hotel has a number of rooms of different types we stayed in the junior suite with a view of the Grand Canal We arrived in Venice by train and then took a private water taxi to the hotel, when we arrived, we went to the hotel, the door is on Sturian street a side street from the main canal. The reception area and rooms are on the 3rd floor. Yes, there are over 65 steps and no elevator as this is a historic building and one of the oldest in Venice, but that should not be a surprise to anyone, their main website states and many reviews state that they have no elevator so if you book without knowing this then you have not done your research. For my wife and I (in our 50's) the stairs were not an issue even on the first and last day when we had to carry our luggage up and down, however if you have mobility issues you may want to take it into consideration.

The room a nice double bed as well as a single bed, two chairs, a closet, electric hot water canister with coffee and tea, a TV, a refrigerator r, a good size bathroom and bath and A/C.

There are two windows with a gorgeous view of the Grand Canal where we enjoyed looking out in the evenings after returning from all the activities and walking in Venice. The room has an old-fashioned key to lock the door which is kept with the onsite receptionist upon leaving and given back upon returning, the main door to the hotel has a buzzer which the receptionist will buzz you in and there is a receptionist 24 hours a day. For breakfast, the breakfast area is right in front of the junior suites, other reviews said it was noisy in the morning however we did not hear any noise and it was nice to open our door and be right in the breakfast area. Breakfast is 7:30-10, there is the standard breakfast items, coffee, fruit, bread, jam, yogurt, juices, cookies, there was also a gentleman that worked there who provided us a plate of croissants and bread and made us omelets or fried eggs, cheese and meat also can be provided as well as cappuccino or espresso. The breakfast area overlooks the Grand Canal and there are two tables that directly overlook it. In terms of location, it is right on the Grand Canal next to the Rialto bridge and next to many shops, cafes, restaurants and bakeries as well as the water bus stations. In terms of the staff, they were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, they are there 24 hours a day, I want to recognize the gentleman that worked the 3rd shift and served us breakfast, he was very
