Guest Reviews
Location
The surrounding area is charming and lively, filled with restaurants, shops and beautiful canals. Despite being in the center of a bustling tourist area, the location is praised for its quiet, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. Guests appreciate how easy it is to visit the main points of interest on foot, including the Rialto Bridge and various museums, which are just minutes away.
The hotel's historic building adds to its charm, blending seamlessly into the picturesque Venetian setting. Visitors find the central location not only convenient but perfect for brief and extended stays alike, providing excellent value for money. The availability of nearby cafes and a vibrant atmosphere even during the winter season make it a coveted spot for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the essence of Venice.
Breakfast
A number of guests praised the breakfast, calling it superb, complete and very good. However, others expressed disappointment over the limited choices and high prices with some mentioning that the quality did not justify the cost. There were also complaints about the restricted flexibility in breakfast timing, typically starting at 8:30 AM, which was inconvenient for some early risers.
The setting for breakfast also received mixed reactions with some enjoying the experience, while others found it less than ideal due to cold weather or the narrow common area. Fresh fruits and vegetables were notably absent, potentially due to COVID-19 restrictions, which some guests missed.
In summary, while the affiliated breakfast options at 'Piccolo Tiepolo' had their share of admirers, many guests suggest exploring the numerous nearby cafes for a more satisfying and cost-effective breakfast experience.
Dinner
However, these conveniences come with some drawbacks. The proximity to numerous restaurants and bars resulted in frequent complaints about strong kitchen odors and significant noise, particularly from exhaust systems and early morning activities. These factors seemed to diminish the overall dining experience for some guests, who also noted high prices at nearby restaurants without corresponding value.
Despite the downside, guests who took advantage of the discounts and affiliated dining options found the food to their liking. Yet, they should be prepared for some olfactory and auditory disruptions during their stay.
Rooms
The rooms, though varied, share common themes: many are small but functional and clean. Guests highlight that while some accommodations are dated, they are priced reasonably. Apartments within the hotel are equipped with essential amenities like kitchens and larger spaces are noted to be particularly comfortable and well-furnished. Frequent mention is made of clean rooms, comfortable beds and quiet environments.
However, there are reports of some rooms not matching the initial descriptions, ultimately requiring upgrades for a satisfactory stay. Issues such as dated decor, minimal maintenance, insufficient heating and old bathroom equipment are noted by some guests. Soundproofing is generally mentioned as lacking and some rooms were described as having unpleasant odors or being inadequately cleaned upon guest arrival, though these issues were usually resolved upon request.
Despite these drawbacks, the location, clean accommodations and helpful staff contribute to a generally positive experience, especially for those looking for a simple place to rest while exploring Venice. In summary, 'Piccolo Tiepolo' seems to offer value-for-money lodging with some quality quirks, making it a practical choice for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and basic comforts.
Beds
The setup of beds seemed to be a recurring issue as well with some travelers indicating dissatisfaction with double beds being composed of two separate mattresses pushed together or children's beds likened to military cots. A few reviews also mentioned that additional beds, like sofa beds or foldable beds, were either too small or uncomfortable and came with extra charges.
Despite these inconsistencies, many guests still found the primary beds sufficiently comfortable, though not necessarily outstanding. The feedback suggests that while the main beds may cater well to typical expectations for short stays, there might be a need for updates and improvements in the additional bedding options to enhance the overall comfort for all guests.
Cleanliness
However, there were occasional remarks about room cleanliness needing improvement, particularly in corners and some noted older fixtures in the bathroom. Despite these occasional observations, the positive feedback far outweighs the negative. Guests noted clean bedding and towels were provided daily, adding to the sense of a well-kept environment. The cleanliness extended beyond rooms to the structure and environment with facilities such as kitchens and apartments also receiving praise.
Overall, the reviews suggest that Piccolo Tiepolo offers a reliably clean and comfortable stay, making it a solid choice for travelers prioritizing cleanliness in their accommodations.
