Staff is not so nice, never asked if we were ok in the room, no cooling air conditioner just warming which We think we should have had more than one choices, so we had to open the windows to sleep. We spent two nights in the property and they never cleaned the room. The shower area is very small that I can’t ever wash my hair comfortable. The safe box is super old and no very reliable. Only few international tv channels, a lot of local channels. Not worthy! I would not recommend the property except for being well located.
Unter Berücksichtigung der Lage und der Bausubstanz im Zentrum von Venedig war die Taverne San Lio mehr als zufriedenstellend. Das Essen war gut und der Service (vermutlich inhaberbetreut) sehr freundlich.
We had a great experience, very friendly staff. The only complaint was there is no soap dish in the shower & no blackout curtains. Only sheer curtains .
Era un espacio amplio y cómodo, con un baño cómodo. Por lo general se resume la estancia en notable y con un gran desayuno. El aire falla ya que al volver a la habitación Había perdido agua y tuvimos que secarlo entero.
The bed had a very hard mattress; I had back pain for a number of days after the stay. Otherwise, we had excellent food in the integrated restaurant, and the location could not be more perfect.
This is basically a room over the restaurant. It is nice and clean but a little small for 3 people. Check in and out is with the restaurant staff. One issue is that it's not clear who to contact if you have a problem when the restaurant is closed. (For example, the air conditioner kept shutting off at night.) Breakfast is nice, but limited selection and hours.
Så bra läge!! Kvinnan på hotellet vilken service så trevlig och hjälpsam. Restaurangen kanon mat, Dock var frukosten ingen hit. Endast bröd marmelad och söta bakelser.
Trevlig personal, ok sängar, badrum fräscht. Lyhört då gatan utanför är livlig och även musik från restaurangen hörs. Smart-Tv och litet kylskåp på rummet. Mysigt och gott med nybakat bröd till frukost.

Personale gentile ed accogliente
Camera pulita e tornando la sera il caldo tepore ci faceva sentire come a casa
Ristorante ottimo per la qualità ed il prezzo.
Svært slitsomt -vanskelig å finne frem -svært uegnet med tung bagasje- mange trapper opp og ned for å finne frem -gir ingen gjentagelse - men pent på rommet med fin dusj og toalett. Frokost middelmådig.
Nettes Zimmer, spartanische Einrichtung, aber sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Zimmer liegt direkt über der Taverne, welche bis Mitternacht geöffnet hatte. Es war ein gewisser Geräuschpegel da (Geplapper), aber das störte unsere Kinder nicht beim Einschlafen. Für sie wurden aus einem Sofa 2 Einzelbetten gebastelt. Zimmer hatte auch einen kleinen Kühlschrank. Frühstück war klein, aber fein mit selbstgebackenen Brötchen, Marmeladegläschen und duftenden frischen Muffins. Die Erreichbarkeit von der Station Rialto ist gut (ca 8 Gehminuten), näher kommt man auch mit Privattaxi nicht. Insgesamt zufrieden, für den Preis in Ordnung. Wlan war nicht gut, man sollte Datenvolumen mitbringen...
Great location but a bit noisy due to being on a busy street and over a restaurant.

The room was ok but certainly not 5 stars and was not good value for money. The shower was rubbish and was very week. There was also black mould in the shower cubicle and the air conditioning unit worked intermittently. Central ish location on Venice was its only redeeming feature.
