A Tribute to Music Residenza

We stayed here for our stay in Venice. We really enjoyed our stay! The Hotel is in a great location, near the main viewpoints (bridge of sighs, st marks square..) and it is near the vaporetto station Arsenale. All the Hotel ambience is so beautiful and picturesque. Our room was quite large and we found it very comfortable, the decor and furniture it looked like retrieved from a palace, beautiful. The view from our room directly to the grand canal/lagoon it was wonderful, we watched here the most beautiful sunrises and, especially, sunsets. The breakfast in the room it was great as well (we recommended the bread, croissants and pancakes). Although is served in our room, it is great that we could choose what we wanted for breakfast and the time to be served. The bathroom was great size as well and equipped with basic amenities which was great. The Staff is so friendly and attentive, always greeted us and we felt very welcomed. We did not feel we were in a Hotel, but in our own house. We were given a key to enter the front door Hotel, a key for the lift and a key for your own room, which was very convenient. The Staff was so friendly that even allowed us to check-out and leave our luggage with them until the time of our time to go the airport. This Hotel does not worth only 3 stars, but more! Highly recommend this friendly, picturesque and familiar Hotel.

Pros: The access was easy, the ferry took us from train station to S Zacaria and we walked a minute to the hotel. We walked to St Mark Square and basilica, lots of shops and restaurants. Very convenient location. People at the hotel were very lovely and helpful. They even came running after us to the ferry because my husband forgot his glasses. Bed was comfortable and clean. Staff directed us on how to arrive from station and which ferry to take to leave. Everyone spoke English. The people that run the ferries were very rude and mean in general, and not helpful. We were treated horribly in the ferries the entire time, so I’m extra grateful for the hotel staff for directing us and helping us, we really needed the assistance. Cons: room was very small, a bit noisy, no space to open bags. Window was falling apart so we couldn’t open. Bathroom was not fully clean as trash bin was full of dirty paper from previous guest. This was a huge turnoff to me. I was eaten by mosquitos at the restaurant in front of the hotel, I have bites all over my body and face, apparently I am allergic to the mosquitos of the area. During sunset the mosquitos also dive inside your food and wine. The dinner by the water was a nightmare, avoid at all costs. * This is not the hotel fault, it’s just the area. Hotel has no restaurant, so they bring breakfast in the room, which is nice, but you have to eat on the bed cause there is no space. A cereal bowl came very dirty,not washed after last use
