Hullo! I booked this hotel directly and got a good rate for paying cash! The hotel has unbeatable location, the rialto bridge is just 1 minute away. That's a plus because you can easily get lost in Venice small alleys , but there's always directions pointing to the Rialto, so you can find your way back to the hotel easily.... more
