The location is great, much better than overpriced and overcrowded Venice. There are plenty of transport options within a 5 min walk that will get you to Venice in 20 mins and there is a plaza with lovely restaurants right behind it. There's a shopping centre 1 min away. You can even buy 24hr or 48hr public transport tickets at the hotel.
Now, it was confusing as an experience. There's plenty of character in the hotel: old style details everywhere, a quite nice lounging area downstairs and even a quirky lift.
There is NO soundproofing so I could hear people in the hallway and in the bedrooms next to mine, and I think I heard when people flushed the toilets. The room was fine as a solo traveller but the ensuite would be a bit small for someone larger. Good A/C and plenty of mirrors but I didn't open the window as it overlooked another building and the hairdryer was as old as the decor.
There is no water however drinking tap water is fine. You'll need your own bottle though. Vending machines are coins only.
Breakfast was good, some complain there's no cooked/hot items but after staying at other places I think this is simply the Italian style.
The staff was very helpful and gave me all the information related to transport options as well as safety tips for a solo female traveller.
Overall, very flamboyant but simple at the same time.
