Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's room was much smaller than expected, resembling a 'classic' style with minuscule space that barely allowed for movement. It featured four twin beds, a sink, but lacked basic amenities. The service provided was a mix of really kind and grumpy instances, with moments of super helpfulness highlighted. The location was a bit far from city activities, accompanied by a distinct corridor smell, yet remained useful for those arriving by ship or seeking ease of access to tourist spots. The dining experience was passable but limited, especially for vegetarians. The facilities were adequate for the basic needs of a stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel provided all the essentials after a long day of sightseeing, but the room I was initially given in a different building was cold, tiny, and not very appealing. Despite these initial setbacks, the staff were professional and pleasant. The location, while relatively okay, offered a quiet neighborhood to explore in the evenings. Dining options were limited with some low-quality choices, but I still managed to enjoy some tasty dishes. The facilities met basic needs and overall, the experience was a balance of convenience and drawbacks.
I have to say the experience at Hotel Messner had its ups and downs. The location was absolutely delightful, and the staff were fantastic, but the rooms were quite a letdown. It was a bit challenging being housed in a different building with small-sized rooms infested with mosquitoes. On the bright side, the service was overall very helpful, and the dining options were quite good. However, the value for money was a bit questionable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered were small and worn out, although they were cleaned daily. There was a strange smell that lingered. The service was a bit of a hit and miss with unfriendliness, but some staff members were helpful. The location was great for sightseeing but tricky to find initially. The dining options left much to be desired with limited choices. However, the hotel had some positive aspects too.
The hotel was conveniently located, making it easy to access key parts of Venice and close to water bus stops. The rooms were a bit small and not soundproof, but housekeeping efforts were noticeable. Service varied but was generally friendly and helpful. The dining experience was satisfying, offering tasty continental breakfast. The price seemed reasonable considering the value and location.
