Hotel Antica Locanda Al Gambero

The staff was helpful and courteous and did help carry our bags from the street and to our room, then back to the street when we checked out. The breakfast was nice. There was a wonderful restaurant below the hotel, Bistrot de Venise, that is not part of the hotel but our dinner there was amazing. The location exactly between St. Mark's Cathedral and the Rialto was very convenient.

The bed was very uncomfortable with old pillows. There was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom...I realize it's Venice but that was not acceptable. We were placed on the 4th floor (5 flights up from the street) with no elevator, a tiny room that looked nothing like the website photos. Extra blankets were very worn looking, I would not put them on the bed. Poorly designed tub shower with partial glass enclosure that soaked the bathroom floor each time we showered. The ceiling in the room was so low that my husband feared he would hit his head on the beam. It appears to have been the attic. I feel like our prepayment led to us getting the worst room in the hotel. Luckily we were not there much.
