Lanterna di Marco Polo

The hotel is in a very strategic location, very close to Piazza San Marco (about 5' walk). The people at the reception were extremely nice, polite and helpful and they provided us with lots of information and suggestions (sightseeing, restaurants, etc.). The check-in process is very easy. Our room was clean and also very quiet, as it was looking on a small alley on the back (overall the area is very quiet at night). There are not too many rooms and this makes you feel at home. There is also a cafe on the ground floor where you can have breakfast should you like to. Overall, we had a great stay and we would definitely come back in the future!

If you have heavy luggage or mobility concerns, consider requesting a room on a lower floor due to the absence of an elevator.

Ensure that the heating and air conditioning systems are functioning properly, especially during extreme weather conditions, as some guests reported issues with these amenities.

Keep in mind that the hotel has narrow and steep stairs, which may pose a challenge for guests with large suitcases or mobility issues.

Take advantage of the staff's local knowledge for restaurant recommendations and sightseeing tips to enhance your experience in Venice.

If you prefer not to have breakfast at the hotel, there are small cafes nearby where you can enjoy a fresh Italian breakfast or bakery goods.

Note that the reception is only staffed in the mornings, so plan your check-in and inquiries accordingly.

Be vigilant about potential security scams, as some guests reported receiving phishing scam messages and emphasized the importance of verifying communications directly with the hotel.

If you have specific requirements such as separate beds, ensure to communicate these in advance to avoid any inconvenience upon arrival.

Due to the central location, be prepared for potential noise from the surroundings, especially if staying in rooms facing the street.

If reliable Wi-Fi is essential for your stay, consider confirming the signal strength, particularly if staying on higher floors where some guests experienced weak internet connectivity.
