The beds were very firm and so were pillows. The windows are single pane and do not block out sound. Was not terribly comfortable and was very loud. Very close to San Marco square so busy area of Venice, lots of small echoey streets, restaurants, and church bells. The decor was nice with brocade fabric wall covering that matches bedding and beautiful Venetian glass light fixtures. Shower was small but good water pressure. Had a bidet. The room was spotlessly clean and staff were very nice. The location is amazing. Just feet from the square so very convenient to get to from water bus with luggage. Safe area to walk. Free breakfast is European style and nice. Eggs, fruit salad, meats and cheeses, croissants and rolls, fresh made pastry, cereals. Also good juice and a self-serve coffee machine where you can made cappuccinos, lattes etc.
This is a very old historic building and is a wonderful place to really experience Venice unless you are looking for something modern and cushy and silent.
