산 카지아노 호텔

Really liked the style of this hotel and the fact it looked out over the Grand Canal, but our triple room was on the small side. I had also hoped for a room with a view but we didn't get one. Breakfast was good and there was an outside balcony with a nice view. Over all happy with our stay but given the amount of walking we did, we would choose somewhere between St Mark's Squarw and Rialto next time.

The hotel is located in a rather secluded area, and I felt quite unsafe walking back after enjoying Venice late at night. The experience may vary depending on the room, but mine faced a neighboring building that was extremely close, making the view from the window feel very cramped and enclosed. Getting to the hotel from the train station with a heavy suitcase was also quite challenging. However, the breakfast was excellent, and the beautiful view from the breakfast area helped make up for the disappointing view from my room. Unfortunately, because the area around the hotel felt so deserted at night, I had to return earlier than I would have liked. That made the lack of a pleasant view from my room even more disappointing, since I ended up spending more time there. The room had a kettle and refrigerator, which were convenient for preparing simple meals, but the space itself was very cramped. There is no elevator, so I recommend asking the staff for help when carrying luggage up or down the stairs. They were very willing to assist and genuinely helpful.
