Really great place to enjoy Venice for a couple of days. The hotel has a vaporetto stop just outside the front door. Its location is immediately next to the Rialto bridge, and is close to everything. The staff were very knowledgable and helpful. One fella on the front desk was a little “gruff”, but not enough too put a damper on things. The room was a little dated / historical. The bathroom had been recently renovated . While the area outside is very busy, it was surprisingly quiet inside, a good endorsement for the quality of the windows and shutters. We also enjoyed the panoramic terrace a couple of times to have a drink and “people watch”
