The hotel is hard to find -although everything in Venice is hard to find- and they should provide better indications. But the location is very good. Our hotel room overlooked a square with a restaurant so it was a bit noisy and the bed was hard.

Yes, this hotel could be a bit tricky to find, because it is well hidden - but we were lucky (read skillful). This is a gem, just a few steps off San Marco church. A very nice place, especially when considering location and price.

El hotel está a 3 minutos andando (literal) de la Pza de San Marco. Es ideal por ello. Está algo difícil de encontrar, pero es debido a la propia distribución de la ciuda en si. El personal es competente y serio. La habitación (doble en nuestro caso) sencilla, pero espaciosa, cómoda y limpia. No tienen aire acondicionado pero si ventilador de techo. El hotel recomienda un lugar para comer que no nos gustó nada (muy caro para ser comida muy normal). El desayuno es un poquito escaso. Por todo lo demás, es un hotel ideal para hacer turismo cómodo para un pequeño grupo de amigos o parejas. Laura y Javier.

Nous sommes restés 3 jours en chambre double avec salle de bain commune. Le gros avantage de cet hôtel est sa situation idéale. La chambre était très correcte, et les sanitaires toujours propre. Le rapport qualité/prix est en tout cas très bon ! Je recommande cet hôtel à quiconque privilégiera la situation au confort de la chambre.

The room was tiny, it did have a fan, no air conditioner. It had a small window open to a courtyard. We woke up at 5:30 am each day by vendors moving their equipment and a resturant setting up its chairs each morning and we were kept up at night when they put their chairs up. It was very hard to find, but once we found it was easier to get back to. Overall it wasn't bad, just not quite like I expected. The sink in our room had no water flow at all. For the price, it wasn't too bad. It was the cheapest thing at San Marco square.

They indicated there will be air conditioning in the room, but there wasnt, there was only a ceiling fan that cannot stay on unless you keep the light on. so if u need to turn the lights off to sleep at night, there will be no "AC" On the bright side, it is SUPER close to San Marco, alot of restaurants around the area

es una porqueria el hotel, no servia el aire y al empleado no le importo, la ubicacion es pesima y la pagina de internet www.venere.com es igual una porqueria, reserve todos mis hoteles al rededor de europa en diversas paginas y la peor fue esta, las instrucciones para llegar a los hoteles no son correctas y en muchos casos es informacion muy vieja, donde incluyen lineas de metro que ya ni existen.

It was our first time staying in this hotel and at first it was very difficult to find this hotel. It is very hidden. We arrived around 2pm and we had to ask someone in the area to find this hotel. Employees were very friendly and the rooms were clean especially the bathroom. Our room had air conditioning which was great. Breakfast was good too which included coffee and pastries. The hotel is in a great location and everything can be done by walking. You dont really need to do the water boats because they are expensive and you can walk to get to places faster. Overall, the hotel was good and I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Absolutely fantastic location, a stone's throw from San Marco! We didn't really have difficulties finding it, either, after we asked the tourist information to show it to us on the map. The room floor wasn't quite as clean as it could have been. It was over +30°C when we were there, and even with the fan on overnight, we had difficulties sleeping at times (air con would be wonderful...). The breakfast included was fairly basic (coffee/tea, orange juice, müsli, rolls, croissants) but filling, and the staff friendly. Would recommend to others - unbeatable location at this price!

Bien situado, muy cerca de la Piazza San Marco y no muy lejos, andando, del Puente de Rialto. Hasta la estación central hay un paseo de media hora o puedes llegar en la línea del vaporetto (cuélate, nunca te pedirán el billete) bajándote en la Piazza San Marco (tardas lo mismo que andando). Saben algo de castellano en recepción y te ayudan con lo que necesites. Desayuno bastante básico servido en la planta 2. Recomendable en general.

Our stay was just alright. It was one of the less expensive venues, and that was evident in the amenities. The place was difficult to find, and in a dark alley. Our initial room had amenities that did not work, and they upgraded us when they were able but we did have to spend on very hot night. The people were friendly, but did not go out of their way to help.

Property was very difficult to find, but that is Venice for you. Room was simple and efficient and clean. Probably wouldnt stay there again for the simple fact that it was impossible to find again everytime I left and tried to go back, not anythign specific to the property. I would prefer something closer to the train station end of the city, but it was nice being very close to the square

this hotel is closed already! We discovered this until the date we arrived. But on the door of hotel it writes the names of guests and we were told to move to another hotel which was just around the corner, called Panda hotel. 3 star, very centered but very quiet. We love the place and the double bed is awesome! Generally we love stayin there.

It takes a while to find the hotel, specially at night when we arrived. The shocking discovery was that it was totally closed, unoperative. We had received no warning at all, either by mail or phone. The embarrassing situation was to find ourselves at midnight with the baggage on the tiny sqare of the hotel and practically everything around closed or closing. By sheer luck (there were no lights) we found a note on the door (see photo)redirecting us to another hotel (San Salvador) supposed to be nearby. After a new 30 minutes' trek (and again by chance) we found it. From then on, things became more or less 'normal'. The reservation conditions on the Cittá di Milano were fully accepted and our stay was enjoyable. My ratings refer to the hotel San Salvador, and the correspondence between web and reality refers to the original reservation.

Venice is dear, and tourists are not received with particular warmth or friendliness. By local standards, the Città di Milano was reasonably pleasant, and relatively good value for money. Its location is superb. There are lots of narrow stairs, so this hotel suits youthful and sprightly visitors.

We had no problems with our stay at this hotel. We found it with no problems, find San Zulian church and you will find the hotel. It is as you would expect a 2 star hotel to be. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and it was nice and central. Hard to find affordable accomodation in Venice and this did the job for us.

Overall the hotel was quite nice. Nothing fancy. It was extremely difficult to find and a bit inconvenient since there is no elevator and quite a few flights of stairs for guests to carry luggage up. Very nice breakfast. The shower layout could certainly use some improvement. It flooded the bathroom floor constantly.

Nous avons reserve cet hotel par internet pour la nuit du 26/09 au 27/09/2006 - lorsque nous sommes arrives dans la chambre, il y avait une forte odeur de tabac - les lampes de la salle de bains ne fonctionnaient pas ! Nous n'avons pas pris de douche tellement la douche était sale ! Le bouquet: le matin nous nous appretons et allons dans la salle prévue pour le déjeuner et là surprise le buffet que l'on décrit dans la brochure comme buffet était uniquement composé de petits croissants fourrés à la marmelade => dégout des enfants - De plus le café était froid - les femmes de menage sont venus faire du bon café aux machines expresso et nous nous avons eu du café dans un thermo, frois, sans gout Heureusement, ce n'était que pour la nuit mais à ce prix ...... pas à recommander

The location of the hotel is great! It's walking distance between Piazza San Marco and the Rialto bridge and surrounded by shops and restuarants. It was just a little hard to find at first though. Perhaps if it was better marked with signs or if there were specific directions on the website to better direct customers who are new to the area.

The rooms were extremely clean the staff VERY helpful and accomodating. Language was only a small barrier. The bathrooms were antiquated, but again very clean. I was there for the hottest part of this summer, no a/c, but staff did try to adjust shutters to accomodate screening heat, and they put a fan in the room without me having to ask. If you need to watch the budget in high season, and need absolutely no glam this is a good place.

very convenient to visit square of Saint Marco.The breakfast is too simple. While in venice, the location of the hotel is quite good.A little hard to find. It's better to get more information of how to find it before going to venice.It's 5min of walking from Saint Marco and about 5-6min of walking from Ralto Bridge.Firstly find the church of S Zulian located between S Marco and Ralto Bridge , then you go from the left side of S Zulan, you will find the picture of hotel showned on the website .The entering of the hotel is in a small alley on the right.

Four words describe our abbreviated stay at this unhappy hotel: blood on the walls. First, and most importantly, there is no air conditioning. In mid-august, this becomes a major problem since it is HOT and humid. The small closet-sized room we had, had no circulation. Second, the lack of air conditioning and the resulting open windows was the cause of a night-long mosquito attack. Over the course of the first -- and only -- night we stayed there, we killed over a dozen mosquitos. Most of which were filled with blood. After the first kill, we noticed the walls and ceiling literally covered with mosquito carcasses and blood from past hotel victims. We couldn't sleep at all during the night, due to the ongoing mosquito fly-bys and then hotbox atmosphere once we closed the window. We cut short our stay and even had to pay for the extra night (they only cut off 10 euros). Still, it was a bargain, since we were out of this place and into a much nicer hotel, with air conditioning and room to stretch. Plus, no mosquitos of course. Despite being 40 more euros per night, it was a bargain compared to this dump -- and no risk of catching west nile virus too. Avoid this hotel unless you bath in deet or go during cold months. Oh, and it was really loud outside too (bells, piazza shouting, hallway running). To top it off, when we staggered in after nearly no sleep to the breakfast, a very bitter and angry hotel worker told us we were ten minutes too late for it. We ate anyway and she muttered under her breath in italian about us the whole time we were there. Ciao.

The location is excellent, although the hotel and the sourroundings are not very quiet. Breakfast was a dissapointment and some of the staff are not friendly at all. The rooms and the building itself need a more thorough cleaning and repairs. The ensuite and the AC are a definite plus for July, but overall it was too expensive. I would only go back if there was no other option.

If we had stuck with our original reservation, we would have been completely happy - three adults and a baby in one deluxe room for 140 euro/night. My husband called the day before we arrived and changed the reservation to two double deluxe rooms for 120 euro each per night, and the hotel said no problem. Our room was fine, although they kept us in the triple (we had an extra bed) and tried to charge us the original price; the bill was changed after we argued. The second room was supposed to have a/c but it did not work; it was 32 degrees C in the room at check-in. The night manager told our friends there was nothing he could do that night, but the next day the air would be fixed or the room changed and we would receive a discount. The hotel staff claimed the a/c was fixed, but it was still 30 degrees in the room and we were told that switching rooms was not possible. The "discount" on the two-night stay was a total of 10 euro. The location of the hotel is fantastic, BUT USE THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER'S DIRECTIONS. Breakfast was extremely basic. Stay here because of the location, but be wary of paying extra for a room with a/c and bath - you may be disappointed. Not sure if I would stay here again.

Great place to stay in Venice. Our only complaint was the lack of air conditioning...of course if this place had air it would cost another 30 euros a night. Especially in shoulder seasons, I can't imagine a better place to stay in Venice. Do print out the directions to this place...it'd be hard to find without them.

Nice room with a sink. Shared bathroom and toilet is clean and very useable. Good price. The MAJOR advantage is that this place is 2 mins walk from St.Mark's square! There is a water bus stop there which can get you almost anywhere on the islands too! It also makes it next to impossible to lose your hotel as the square is sign posted from all over the island. Breakfast room was being refurbished at the time so no breakfast for me!

We had booked 2 rooms online. When we got off the public boat, we dragged our luggage on a wild goose chase trying to find the hotel based on their directions and a photo which shows a restaurant on the back of the hotel (no sign now as shown on Venere web site). Anyway we were told we only had one room reserved. The hotel had voided the second room reservation the day after we booked online (three months earlier).We NEVER got that notification (a Venere issue?). While they maintained a professional front, they did not help us. They appeared to call a few other hotels but mostly repeated that we could not share the room, could not stay in the lobby, and that it was impossible this, impossible that. They said it was not their problem. We went out on foot and did eventually find another room on the nearest island. It pretty muched ruined our whole visit to Venice. I have no desire to go back. The room was quiet and comfortable, but the water never got warm enough for a shower. No elevator, but they took our bags up for us.

The hotel was perfect for budget travelers. Make sure that you get specific directions to the hotel. We arrived in Venice around 11:30pm. Lugging our bags throughout the late evening in Venice looking for the hotel was a little scary for two young women. Get up early for a hot shower and don't count on any air conditioning. You might also want to bring some bug spray.

Nice hotel for a reasonable price in a great location next to St. Mark's Square. It was a bit tricky to find as others have noted. We forgot to bring directions given here, but we just asked a couple locals and finally found our way. Our room was on the 3rd floor, but the hotel desk clerk was kind enough to help carry our luggage up to our room. He and others on staff were friendly & helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and a good size compared to other places we stayed in Europe. It was nice to have breakfast there every morning -- bread, cereal, coffee, hot chocolate. Surprisingly good deal considering the condition and location of the hotel. We would definitely stay there again.

The location was a little tricky without the help of previous reviewer's directions. But the room was great, although the 'double' bed is really 2 twins pushed together, it was no problem for us. Room included a sink and shared restrooms were fine. Breakfast was perfectly adequate, lots of breads, rolls, cheese, juice, cereal and excellent service for the cappuccino. We recommend and would stay there again. The location is great because it's away from the Rialto area and the St. mark's area, so not as crowded, but close to all the main sights.

Good basic accommodation in a good central area. Only downside it is quite difficult to find when you walk from the Rialto as the street sign is behind you and the actual accommodation is thru a small underpass but it is Venice and you are travelling so guess the hotel directions arent always going to be obvious!!

We used the directions given by a previous reviewer - made it very easy to find. Great location. The room with twin beds wasn't that big but as we were out and about most of the time it didn't worry us. I think in summer it would be a lot more noiser. Breakfast was good - coffee, tea, cereal, rolls, spreads. Overall, good for the price. And there was plenty of hot water!

Das Haus liegt sehr zentral, ca 100m vom Piazza S.Marco und ca 200m von der Rialtobrücke (also das zwischen) und ist dennoch ruhig. Mit Hilfe der Hausnummer: San Marco 590 kann man den etwas versteckten Hoteleingang finden. Das Zimmer war sehr einfach und sauber, das Frühstück war ausreichend und zweckmäßig. Die Frühstückszeit von 8 - 10 Uhr wurde sehr exakt eingehalten; auch am Abreisetag war es nicht möglich, dass sich die Tür zum einfachen Frühstücksraum 5 min vor 8 Uhr öffnete. Mit dem Preisleistungsverhältnis war ich,wegen der zentralen Lage des Hauses, zufrieden und werde bei einem erneuten Besuch von Venedig wieder hier übernachten.

The photo on the website is the restaurant on the other side of the hotel and the actual entrance is non-descript in an alley. The people were pleasant enough as was the new bathroom but there was no hot water for a shower in the evening and the single beds were very uncomfortable. Venice is a very expensive city and the hotel was cheap for a family but even the location would not induce me to recommend this place. Anywhere in Venice is only a vaporetto ride or short walk away.

Very good value for money, but do not expect too much luxury. Electricity and sanitary installations partly extremely run down, but all facilities are clean. Cleaning staff starts working at 8 a.m. which is bad if you like to sleep longer. Friendly staff and great location. The mosquitos can be a nuisance even in Novemnber. The restaurant in the same building is a good choice if you are looking for good simple food for reasonable prices.

Because of the lower price we took a room without wc/shower. The cleanliness of room and external bathroom were excellent. Staff were friendly, capuccino for breakfeast was perfect and nice food for low budget nearby. A very good place to stay to discover Venice in every direction. We can fully recommend this hotel.

It can be confusing to get to the hotel, due to the nature of Venice, but we managed to walk straight to it...from San Marco, follow along face of San Marco and look for S. Basso ahead and to the right (also signs to Hospital and Rialto). Keep heading that direction (past 'Polo Ralph Lauren' store) to courtyard with Cartier...go right again past Cartier and you end up in the courtyard where the photo is taken (in front of green awning restaurant). Go around the back of the restaurant (low-ceilinged walkway) to find the entrance to the hotel on your left.

The room was small but we knew that it might be ahead of time. Finding an inexpensive room just a few streets from San Marcos sq. was our concern and this hotel served it's purpose. It's a bit difficult to find but once found, it's easy to go back to. We would stay there again.

Very disappointed in Hotel - quite expensive for a very basic hotel - the only plus was its location to St Marks square.

FANTASTIC LOCATION We arrived via Alilaguna (highly recommended) on a cold and rainy October day. We were a little worried because we had heard so many complaints about the difficulty in finding the hotel. But, we walked toward St Marks and then veered off to the left as indicated by the Venere map and found it after asking for help a couple of times. What a great location! Right off St Marks and easy walking distance to the Rialto and other areas. The room was a most pleasant surprise - spacious enough and very clean. Nice bathroom - and a TV! No English speaking channels but a welcome surprise. The breakfast was adequate - coffee and rolls...small but pleasant breakfast room. Our room was in the back of the hotel overlooking the shopping area so when we opened the windows, it was a bit noisy but not overwhelmingly so. All in all a very pleasant stay. BUT - in the summer I can imagine the noise from below would be unbearable and not having air conditioning would also be a problem.

I reserved a double room without bath for my wife and I. What I got was a railroad car shaped room with 2 single beds lined from head to toe. No elevator and narrow stairs. Luckily we were only one flight up. Some rooms were on the 4th floor. Otherwise, for a hotel in San Marco, Venice, I suppose it was acceptable in that it cost less than 100 Euros

A spartan two star hotel, but a very convenient location in Venice between San Marco and Rialto. Room was on third floor with no elevator. Furniture a little beat up, but bed was clean and comfortable. Shower was just a dribble, but bathroom adequate and clean. TV in room, but only Italian shows, no CNN. For Venice, room was very quiet, but nearby church bells prohibit staying in bed late. Breakfast room is small and noisy, but breakfast was good, with juice, cereal, breads, coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.

The hotel is excellently located for shopping and sight-seeing at and around San Marco, and it is conveniently located for water taxis and off-island excursions. The staff is very considerate and helpful---the front desk man helped us out with a corkscrew for our wine bottles on 2 separate occasions! The only drawback was the noise from the restaurant and public courtyard below the guest room windows, which went on until late in the night. The stairwells at the hotel could become quite noisy in the night too. Other than that, it is a lovely, clean and affordable Venice hotel.

The room was fine and the location great (once we found it.) The staff was, however, quite surely. They have strange night-entry rules that resulted in our and other guests being locked out in the street at 10pm wondering if the night watch would ever show up. The walls were also very thin so that our neighbor's cough kept us up one night and people dragging their suitcases down the stairs (no elevator) woke us up early every morning. Breakfast was great by Italian standards with lots of rolls and coffee. All in all okay experience, but good price for Venice and location.

We were very dissapointed by this hotel. After changing our travelling plans we decided to stay an extra night in Venice and the place we had booked for the first two nights couldn't accomodate us for our third. The first B&B we stayed in was maybe a further 5mins from st marks sq but was of a much higher quality and standard. Although we booked a double room in Città Di Milano it was a twin room where the beds were at oppposite ends of the room. There was hardly enough space to move around the beds and there was only a very tiny window in the room which made it very dark. The bathroom facilities were basic and shared between 13 rooms. The staff were not particularly helpful nor forthcomming to assist us when my partners bed collapsed half way through the night. We would have been content if we were paying a lower price for hostel facilities but we were paying the same as what we payed in our first accomodation San Marco (info@realvenice.it). It is clear this hotel is overpriced because it is close to st marks sq, however venice is very small and you are more likely to get a good quality hotel with nice facilities for a reasonable price just a bit further away. I wouldn't stay here again.

Von Hotel zu sprechen finde ich etwas übertrieben, denn es handelt sich eher um eine Art Herberge. Unser Zimmer hatte die Größe einer Besenkammer und ich hatte es mir dem Foto nach wenigstens etwas gemütlicher vorgestellt. Aber es standen nur zwei Betten und ein Schrank drin, fertig. Das Hotel ist ohne die vorhergehenden Beschreibungen auf dieser Seite nicht zu finden. Auf dem Foto sieht man zwar noch die Hinweisschilder, doch diese existieren nicht mehr. Nichts falsch machen kann man, wenn man nach dem Restaurant Osteria No 1 fragt oder sucht, denn das Hotel befindet sich im gleichen Gebäude darüber (dann nur irgendwie um das Haus herumgehen und den Eingang finden...). In dem Restaurant kann man übrigens ganz gut und ohne Nepp (Coperto und Besteck inkl.) essen. Wenn man wie wir ein Zimmer hat, das über dem Restaurant liegt, sollte man sich Ohropax mitnehmen, denn abends ist dort noch viel los. Das Fenster mussten wir auflassen, da es auch im September noch sehr heiß im Zimmer war. Dadurch kommen natürlich Mücken rein, also auch das Mückenspray nicht vergessen. Ich fand den Preis eigentlich etwas hoch, wenn man an anderen schönen netten Hotels für nur 30 Euro mehr die Nacht vorbeikommt... Aber es ist natürlich die Lage, die einfach super ist. Für Venedigbesucher, die nur wenig Zeit haben und viel sehen wollen würde ich es dennoch empfehlen. So kann man gleich um 9 Uhr in den Dogenpalast, auf den Campanile und in den Markusdom und dem Touri-Ansturm ein wenig entkommen. Schön war es auch für uns als allein reisende Frauen, daß wir bis um Mitternacht auf dem Markusplatz und in der Rialtogegend herumlaufen konnten ohne durch einsame dunkle Gassen zurückzumüssen. Das Frühstück ist gut, Cappuchino gibt es auf Wunsch und man kann so viel essen, wie man möchte. Die Toiletten und Duschen waren nicht so sauber wie beschrieben, aber das hängt natürlich immer von den jeweiligen Gästen ab. Gut fand ich das Waschbecken im Zimmer. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und es wurde a

Regarding that the hotel has 2 stars everything was like we expected. We had a good time, both the room and the bathroom on the floor were clean. Breakfast was satisfied, especially the cappucino. Employees were very friendly. The room itself was very hot. No climate control. In summer times that will be a problem. Price / quality relationship is not fair, but I think usual for venice. Overall I can recommend the hotel und would stay there again.

Great location, if you want to be in the centre of Venice I'd definitely recommend this hotel, and for prices in Venice I think it's quite reasonable. My only complaint would be booking a double room online and receiving a twin, I think this should be made clearer on the Venere website.

The room was clean however it was also steaming hot. We went in September and specifically got a private room so we could have an air conditioner. Although the air conditioner was on, warm air was coming out and it would not allow you to make it any colder. We asked several people at the front desk to fix this through out our stay and it was working fine. If you open the windows bugs come in so we were forced to suffer with the heat. Definitely skip this place - not at all worth the price.

Situato in punto tattico per girare ai piedi per Venezia(costo dei mezzi pubblici, i.e. vapoletto,altissimo), anche se ho dovuto chiedere aiuto dai vicini per trovare l'ingresso. bagno comune era pulito e c'era anche basca da bagno. il ristrante dietro l'albergo si mangia bene e costa meno rispetto ai ristranti circostanti.

This is definitely a place for someone who plans to spend as little time in the hotel as possible. It was certainly a bargain for Venice at the height of the season (45 Euro for a single without bath) but with the exception of the location, the place is a little depressing. I am a single woman travelling alone, on a budget, so I knew that it wasn't going to be the lap of luxury. I think if you're willing to rough it a bit, you'll be fine - they provided clean linens, the bathroom down the hall was never in use, and there was a phone in the room). The lack of air-conditioning was fine because it was a bit chilly (I understand the double rooms and singles with bath have air conditioning), but the mosquitos were an annoyance. On the upside, the hotel is in a great location -- just a two minute walk to the Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square (both of which are convenient for the Waterbus), and some of the rooms face a nice little square with a small trattoria that was actually quite pleasant. For what it's worth, I did feel safe in that locale, but I'm sure you can get more charm for your money with a little more research.

I was completely disappointed with this hotel. Upon seeing the double no bath, no AC, I demanded my money back and the clerk offered to upgrade our room for one with bath and AC at our expense or lose our money. He charged dus $90/day. What a jip! I found out that nearby 3 star hotels would have cost us the same with breakfast included. The worst 2 star hotel in Venice.

This hotel is definitely hard to find without previous visitors explicit directions. The hotel room itself was great- very spacious and clean. Couldn't have been happier. No elevator though - keep in mind you may have to carry all your luggage up 4 flights of steps (like we did)

a bit hard to find but if you ask around enough you get there. they should sign it a little better. great location, just behind the piazza s. marco, rooms are spacious but bare and clean. bed was firm but the room was very hot as we were on the top floor, there was no air con and we had to keep the windows shut to keep the noise out. Great value however for central venice.

Great location. Had I not read someone else's comments that the hotel was quite difficult to actually find, I would have had a very hard time locating it. There were several streets near it with similar names to the street address of the hotel but nothing that quite matched. By a stroke of luck, I checked out an alley and we located the hotel.

This hotel was much worse than I expected. Our room was "clean" but walls were plain and beat-up. The bed was HARD and the pillow like a board with a pillowcase on it. The seat of the straw chair was ripped up. The light on the air conditioner would blink during the night like a stobe light. The bathroom was the only nice part. Breakfast was the worst I'd had in Europe. One choice of cereal and one dry, tasteless roll. The breakfast room was small and walls were beat up. It was very hot in there with only 1 person working, so there were always people waiting to sit at a table. Our 2-night stay cost us $345 in US dollars and was not worth it! I would not stay in this hotel again.
