What a fabulous hotel perfectly located a block from the Grand Canal and close to both the Rialto Bridge and St Marks Square.  The receptionists are outstanding and answered all of our many questions with comprehensive answers, patience and respect. Can’t rave enough about them.  The rooms are even prettier than indicated on line, with plush bedding, a large bathroom and plenty of space. Breakfast was convenient and offered a large variety of choices. Service was also exceptional. Without question - you will enjoy this full service hotel. As a bonus, there is also an elevator so you don’t have to lug your suitcase up the stairs.

The room was a significant departure from the pictures advertised, which was a bit disappointing. However, the hotel's location is absolutely superb, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Having breakfast outdoors right by the Grand Canal offered truly fantastic views. A minor point: there was no complimentary bottled water in the room, which might be an unexpected oversight for Chinese guests accustomed to this amenity in hotels. That said, the primary reason we chose this hotel was its convenient location for sightseeing, so these other issues were secondary.

It is an antique hotel located in the scenic area. There are two walking routes from the train station to the hotel. When you exit the train station, you only need to cross one bridge to turn left, and you need to cross three bridges to turn right. It takes 10 minutes to walk. It is suitable for people with large suitcases. It is already relatively friendly, the entrance is relatively hidden, there is a Chinese-owned supermarket next to it, and the room facilities have a sense of history. When checking in, the boss was very enthusiastic to help carry the luggage upstairs, and introduced how to buy tickets and take the water bus to various attractions. It was very pleasant to take the boat at dusk to watch the sunset.

The hotel is very close to the station, just across the street. The rooms are clean and tidy. It's very convenient to take the train to the main island. There's a Chinese supermarket opposite the hotel, which is handy for buying water and other things cheaply. You can pay directly using the owner's WeChat Pay or Alipay.

The room was indeed very compact, only 17 square meters, with simple decor and no view. Luckily, the bed was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was quite spacious, though the shower stall was a bit narrow. Slippers were provided, but no toothbrushes. The breakfast was delicious and varied, with small portions of each item. If you like bread, you'll be very satisfied. The biggest advantage is its super close proximity to the pier, offering direct access to the airport or various places along the canal. The service was also very warm, attentive, and polite.

The hotel is located near the train station, about a seven to eight-minute walk away. The exterior design of the hotel looks very modern. However, the first room we were given only had a shower curtain in the bathroom, and water would spill out everywhere when showering, making the floor wet – I almost slipped. On top of that, the shower curtain smelled musty, which was quite disgusting. After speaking with the front desk, we were moved to another room with a glass door for the shower. This is a four-star hotel, and the official website photos showed a three-piece toiletry set (shampoo, conditioner, body wash). In reality, the room only had a three-in-one product for hand/hair/body washing. This is a significant difference in quality; typically, three-in-one products are found in hostels, B&Bs, and budget hotels, not a four-star establishment. This is misleading for consumers. When I first brought it up with the front desk, they said there was no three-piece set. After I showed them the official website photos on my second attempt, the front desk reluctantly provided body wash and body lotion.

The shuttle boat we booked with the hotel cost 22 euros per person and took us directly to the hotel entrance, which was a great experience. It was perfect for enjoying the beautiful scenery of Venice without anyone else around. You can also take a bus directly to the entrance. I didn't visit the Glass Island last time, so I wanted to explore it this time. The hotel is right outside the scenic area, so it was a great place to wander around. The bus from the entrance goes directly to the main island, which is quite convenient, but you still have to walk a bit to the boat station. The room was average, not very clean, and the view from the window was lacking, so choose carefully if you mind. I stayed at a five-star hotel in San Marco on the main island last time and was dissatisfied because it was too old. I wonder if Venice is just like that. The beautiful weather and the beauty of Venice these days may make up for some of these shortcomings.

Great stay in Venice – highly recommended! I had a very pleasant stay at Staycity Apartments Venice. The apartment was clean, modern, and very well equipped. The bed was comfortable, and everything felt well maintained. The location is excellent – close to public transport and easy to reach both Venice island and the airport. Very convenient for business or leisure travel. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. Overall, great value for money. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Venice.

I stayed here for the 3 nights I’ve visited for with my spouse and we enjoyed our stay here as it was located close to where we had access to bus routes as well as Venice overall clean and affordable hotel, only down side was receptionists staff were not as helpful e.g. i asked for salt one night at receptionist and i got no response then he was on a call then after he knew i was still waiting and decide to take a look only to say there’s none left until i found it myself few other things did occur similar to this. Others than this it’s good value for money would visit again

Very good experience in this hotel. The very large and clean room. The staff very careful and have gluten-free food. Furthermore, it is very close to the Academia bridge that crosses the great channel. They also have a restaurant in the same hotel. I therefore recommend it 100%.
