The hotel room was ok in size. The bed and pillows were really comfortable which is a priority when you have walked for miles. Breakfast was ok. Staff polite and friendly. Really like the area of Dorsoduro as not too busy like other areas but close enough to restaurants and sites. There is a good bar a minutes walk away from hotel.

Generally nice clean hotel but small. Bedroom too small and bathroom even tinier. Struggled to move about in the bathroom and there were no hooks to hang your clothes/dressing gown in the bathroom. No mirrors in the hotel room except in the bathroom. Room was a little dusty in the corners but general cleanliness was good. Safety deposit box not working in room but were offered use of one in reception. Decent continental breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location is also very good. About a 15 minutes walk to San Marco square and Rialto Bridge.

Dear Valued Guest We thank you very much for have chosen our hotel for your recent trip to Venice and for have taken some of your time to review your stay here with us assigning us a positive score. We are sorry to know that you found your room and bathroom small: the size of all our rooms matchs the standards required by the italian law and also depends on the room typologie you have booked, if you had advised us that you were inconfortable in the assigned room due to the size we could have maybe offered you a differ room or an upgrade. Also we are sorry that the room safety box was not working, even if we are gald to know that we partially solved the problem by letting you use one of the reception safety boxes while reparing the one in your room; and that you found a little bit of dust in the corners but general cleanliness was good, in fact the cleaness is an aspect that we take care of almost maniacally here in our hotel so we will immediately advise our cleaning staff to pay more attention in order to avoid this unpleasent complain againd and to keep a perfect cleaning in the whole hotel! Despite to theese negative points we are really glad to know that you found our staff friendly and helpfull and you liked our convenient location, so we definately hope to welcome you again in the future to have the chance to show you that we improved those negative aspects you mentioned and that we deserve an even higher score! Thank you very much again Martina.

Excellent hotel

We stayed here for two nights before starting a cruise. The hotel was excellent. The staff were extermely helpful and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast ws not great, but served its purpose. I would recomend this hotel to anyone.

Perfect!!

The hotel is a charming period property. We really enjoyed staying here and the cleanliness of the room was spot on. Location great for getting water boat to and from places of interest. Local restaurants and takeaway venues are very close but don't impose on the quietness of the place.

Good location

Not too difficult to find, a short walk from Ca Rizzonica or San Basilio vapporetto stops. Fairly central but not overpacked with other tourists, easy access to the rest of Venice and surrounding lagoon islands. The majority of the staff were welcoming and helpful, the rooms were clean and well tended, if a bit old fashioned in style. The breakfast was basic and fairly unappealing and the dining area is in need of redecoration. The street it is on is quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed wandering the nearby streets and eating at the restaurants at nearby San Basilio. A particularly good restaurant was the nearby Avagaria, expensive but lovely food - great for a special occasion/last night treat. AiOcho at San Basilio serves great pizzas and there are plenty of small bars and family run eateries nearby. As a gay couple we felt welcomed and comfortable staying here. The facilities for wheelchair users is limited. We would visit the Pausania again, it is not 5 star by any means, but we were pleased with our choice mainly because of it's location and use as a good central base to discover this beautiful city.
