unfortunately, i can'.t recommend this wouldn'.t stay here again. we stayed here one night and found a much nicer place a short distance away for a lower price. when we first checked in, the front desk was staff person was friendly, but things went downhill from there. hotel biasin is on the other side of the canal from the marte where you check in, and biasin is left unattended. the lobby door was left opened and unattended all night, propped open with a brick, which didn'.t feel too secure. the numbers on the doors are written on scraps of paper and taped on, which isn'.t so awful, i guess, but was indicative of the way the rest of the place was maintained....lights didn'.t work and our room was freezing cold. when we phoned the front desk in the early evening for help getting the heat to go on, an elderly lady eventually arrived with an old blanket, but apparently heat was not a possibility. the toilet and sink were actually enclosed in the same room that was also the shower stall (like in a small yacht)...ok if you don'.t mind the floor and toilet being wet for a few hours after you have your shower. we are pretty tolerant travellers, but this was just really overpriced for the value, even for venice. the morning after we moved hotels, we walked past the baisin to see that it flooded during aqua alta...which may explain why the lobby was in such poor repair and the door was kept propped open...glad we didn'.t stay another night as we would have had to wade through the water in the lobby to get out. perhaps this is the reason the owners seem to have abandoned the place, but it doesn'.t justify the prices they are charging.

actually, we stayed at the marte. we were originally booked into the biasin, but the management put us in the marte.revue: overall, we enjoyed our stay. the bathroom in our room needed an up grade,badly. the shower curtain was not big enough to keep shower water from going elsewhere. also, the lack of a floor pan in the shower meant the water drained into the middle of the bathroom.a good shower curtain would have helped. the steps up to the lobby were a bit of a trip on arthritic knees, no lift. a senior citizen with difficulties would find this hotel tough to negotiate. the location, however, was near the train station, grand canal, and provided easy access to the joys of venice. the staff was excellent. i would stay there again, hopefully with a better bathroom. at least it was in the room and not down the hall.

the staff were very helpful and absolutely lovely. the hotel really is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the train station though you can take a vaporetto if you want which drops you right there. the breakfast was at the bar on the corner next the hotel, the staff there were helpful and proficient, and the brioche and coffee were lovely. we were a family of 6 with children between 3 and 12 and we felt very welcome, we would stay there again if we were to visit venice again.

antiguo pero muy limpio y bien situado, lo peor es la ducha, que consiste en un agugero en el suelo del baño y una cortina, pero por lo demas

wonderful place! they had some drug users hanging around passed out in a doorway, but so is rome. anyway, the place was awesome. had our own bathroom! view was excellent! great place! had to make your own breakfast and coffee, but it was fun!
