...We got Checked in and found the room was still being cleaned and so had to wait 20mins to get our room. Even then, the room was very aged, dirty, stained and cramped - the floor even had a hole in it... This hotel and its rooms are definitely showing its age and need to be renovated ASAP... The dirty hotel room put us off straight away and we did not want to stay in this room... We asked to be changed/upgraded however the hotel was fully booked out and the check in staff did not care about us at all... Overall would not come back here and it is highly overrated for the price we paid (which was $230 USD for the cheapest room)...

We checked and we’re told we could go on an island tour of the neighboring island, Morano, for $10 euro each... We were dropped at Morano and greeted by a salesman that took us to a quick demo on glass blowing and then proceeded to try and sell us very expensive glassware... The salesman said we had to take a public boat back for another $10 euro each... When we asked how to get to the airport they said the could arrange a water taxi for $140 euros or we could try a bus... Upon checking we found a taxi $40 euro, water taxi $40 euros or bus $20 euros ($10 each)... This hotel was very sketchy and I recommend staying elsewhere...

Hotel is well located near the train station (<5mins walk with luggage), ideal if you have big luggage and don't want to lug it over the bridge or on boats.

I’ll start with the positives, the location is fabulous, it’s right on the Grand Canal, a 5 minute walk from the water bus and 10 min walk from the coach and train station. It has a beautiful terrace for drinks on the Grand Canal and a water taxi dock... We ordered a water taxi at reception and it picked us up, which was great fun!...
