Yes it's an older hotel, but then all the hotels in Venice are older. Easy to get to from the train station. About a 5 minute walk, but on a bridge over the grand canal. Google will direct you through a muggers alley to arrive at the hotel but it's good with no issues. Room was nice with good beds and we had a balcony. Fridge in the room but no kettle. Bathroom was nice with a big tub shower combo. The water temps was not as hot as I like, but it was comfortable to shower. Barely. Daily room cleaning was a plus. Breakfast is 10 euros and was worth it with hot dishes along with meats, cheese breads and fruits. The service by the staff was outstanding. Friendly with tips about what to see in the beautiful city of Venice. And you can purchase water bus tickets at the desk. Area was very walkable with many restaurants a short walk away A very good value for the money and we would stay again.
