Why people love it

• Staff. Massimo was named in an October 2026 review for his welcome to guests who arrived late. Several others credit a receptionist who resolved a complicated situation.

• Walk to the boats. The hotel is near the boat landing, and guests walk the promenade to the center.

The worst thing guests say

Maintenance problems in summer 2026. In August 2026 a guest in a heatwave said the air conditioning did not work and the pool was green, with no compensation. In July 2026 another said air conditioning and hot water were out and there was no kettle. In September 2026 a guest found no sound proofing, and several reviewers mention inconsistent service. In 2022 a guest reported money stolen from a room and weak security.

Insider tips
