We improvised a trip to Venice and obviously we know that booking at the last minute means spending a fortune or making do, among other things on Halloween Eve it was packed everywhere. Searching and searching, this hotel comes up, with a price per room of 65 euros including breakfast, a done deal! Once we arrive on site, the external structure says a lot about what we will find inside, a 70s structure, poorly cared for and let go, the 4 stars were perhaps worth it in those years. Inside the structure is worse than expected, you can see the neglect and abandonment of certain places. It is a very large structure, decades ago in its full splendor it must have been an important hotel, of a certain value, but now only old memories remain. The room, alas, is no different, old furnishings (not antique, old!), scary curtains (perhaps it was a Halloween theme 🎃), old bathroom, inefficient hairdryer, taped sockets, broken beds, you literally sink into the mattress, in short, a place abandoned. In the corridors, with a little imagination, you can relive the golden days of this hotel, with the wall-mounted shoe cleaner, the paintings, the convector heaters... Is a good breakfast what you need to start the day off right? Well, have it outside at the bar, the one offered by the hotel, despite being rich, is a bit shabby and poorly managed, among other things the beautiful room from 40 years ago has now become a hideous setting. The only thing I can't complain about is the kindness and courtesy of the entire staff, excellent, but unfortunately not enough to make up for all the flaws. I don't like to speak badly of the structures, I understand that work is important for everyone and this hotel represents the means of livelihood for many families, I understand the good will and the prices well below the competing market, I understand that the Covid period has given a blow to everyone, but that's not the way. Reduce the rooms, create a small well-kept B&B, tear it down, renovate it, keeping it like this is a shame, you are neither fish nor fowl. If your alternative is to sleep in the car and you want a room then ok, otherwise look elsewhere, sorry.
