The hotel had rooms that were excellent but had a horrible smell of mold coming from the AC, and although nicely decorated, it smelt strongly of cigarettes. The service was brilliant, especially during the unexpected regatta, and the location was superb, close to St Mark's Square. The dining experience was very good with fresh homemade pastries and a lot of options. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.

The hotel offers spacious rooms, great location near St Mark's, and a dining experience that could be improved. It provides a unique atmosphere with gondolas passing by and good hygiene standards, but storage space may be limited for longer stays. Friendly staff who are knowledgeable about Venice enhance the overall experience.

The service provided by the hotel staff, particularly at the Hotel Ala, was exceptional.

The hotel's location near St Mark's is excellent, right on a small canal with access to water taxis at the back door. It is a short walk to major shops, Saint Mark's Basilica, and a manageable distance to the Rialto bridge. While beautifully furnished, guests may experience limited WiFi in their room.

The hotel is compact but beautifully decorated with flowers and petals, perfect for a romantic stay. Despite the constant noise next to the staircase, the room was cozy and to be expected in Venice. The service was uniformly friendly and helpful, especially during the recent flood. The location between St Marks and the Rialto bridge is excellent, just steps away from key tourist spots. The dining experience was great with a good variety of food. Overall, a charming stay with minor noise inconvenience.
