I would like a partial refund. On my last night, the hotel lost electricity. I had no heat, and had an emergency spotlight go on all night that was pointed directly at the bed. I did not sleep all night. Also didn’t have water or phone. Couldn’t charge my cell phone. It was unpleasant to say the least. Also the walls are paper thin. Any noise from the street or neighboring rooms woke me up.

Our stay was ok. There was water dripping from the ceiling leaving a puddle of water on the floor. There was only one towel in the room. We rang for another towel to be brought to our room which took around 40min and several calls to reception. We even offered to get it ourselves. However it was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Ok
The first room did not have a window. It was dark and oppressive and I felt very claustrophobic. Luckily we changed to much brighter room without the heavy wallpaper and opening windows!!!!’

Great location
We love the location of the property, right along the Grand Canal.
What we didn’t like was the room and lack of comfort. After walking for hours we wanted an A/C cooled room with comfortable beds and pillows. The pillows were too thin and soft. The bed was also too soft and would shift on the frame.
I don’t mind the “old” look but I do mind it not being kept up. I love the charm of it but it could be better.
The A/C would blow warm air and there wasn’t proper ventilation. We had to leave the door open and the window open for fresh air.
Other than that, I would recommend this hotel for the location and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Which I think most will not find at other properties.
If you’re American, this is probably the best place to stay that’s budget friendly.

Good Place to Stay but bring Bug Spray
Very unique place to stay! The restaurant and the roof top bar are both fantastic! We were there in October and it was pretty nice outside most days and the air conditioning seemed to be turned off for the building. Which wasn't a huge deal as we just opened our balancy doors. This wouldn't have been a huge deal except the mosquitoes. I now have about 20 bites unfortunately which puts a downer on the rest of our trip.

A horrible experience. They haven’t got a clue.
This was probably the worst experience of my 30 year career as a travel photographer. The room still gives me nightmares. No heating or air conditioner. They said it was in between seasons. Had to sleep with the window open and no eye mask, ear plugs or sleeping pill could help to get a decent sleep. No coffee, no tea, no water just 2 miserable plastic cups. A 4 star room that was 1 star at best. I would suggest the manager/ owner see what hoteliers in the 21st century are like. Go to Tokyo, Singapore or Dubai. What a dump of a room. I wouldn’t put my dog up there. Avoid at all costs

Beautiful Italian Hotel. Our room was done in old Italian style. It had a built in closets (3) plenty of room to hang and store items. The hotel and many outdoor seating areas. There is a lovely rooftop bar/restaurant. Dinner was delicious and the view was wonderful! The front desk will help you with any of your needs. Please note that if you have difficulty with stairs ask for a 1st floor room.

We had a room for 1 night only, room was very comfortable with a great shower, window had shutters which didn’t open very far but we looked out onto another roof so we weren’t too bothered about having the shutters open, fantastic location for bars and transport. Reception staff were very helpful.
