DO NOT STAY HERE! Look up reviews on other sites & avoid our mistake! They have several listings just to dodge all the poor reviews. PROS: The location & staff are actually top-notch. Hot water worked as expected. AC unit did work properly. Staff was helpful (as possible) - staff consisted of one man per night running around out of breath trying to keep up with all the complaining guests. CONS: But we stepped into the hotel and could tell immediately it was not going to be pleasant. The interior of the building is very old and outdated. Everything needs work and updating. Odors everywhere, stains everywhere. We thought we stepped into the movie The Shining and we literally ran away from a scary man one night that wondered into the hotel off the street due to no locks on the front door of the hotel. Hot without AC on. Cannot control the AC. We had to call the desk to get someone to bring out a remote to turn it on/off or change the temp. The light on the AC is so bright it lights up the whole room. But we could not sleep without it due to the heat. The bed consisted of a very hard frame with 2 terrible small mattresses on top pushed together to make it almost as big as a queen. We woke up (after barely sleeping) with backs hurting. Carpet looks very dirty & bathroom sink had poor water pressure. Did not see any bed bugs. But we were / are scared about that after seeing RECENT reviews mentioning this being a problem via another site. Yuck! I would not recommend anyone stay here

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel Messner. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. We had a private bathroom in our room, but we were also on a floor with a shared bathroom in the hallway (right across from our room). This made for some noise late at night and some awkward meetings with semi-naked strangers in the hallway. All in all though, it’s a beautiful more quiet part of Venice. The salute water bus stop is a very short walk, and there are several really great spots to eat or get an espresso close by.

The location is just next to the Dom, with very polite staff. I took one star off due to the size of the room (which is basically the size of the bed with a little bathroom) plus the cover of the toilet's flush was off and needed to be placed back all the time. Breakfast was for an extra 12 EU.

Broken AC, Room not as described
There were so many issues I don't know where to start. The room looked nothing like what they advertised (Family Room, Canal View). When I complained and showed them the pictures of what we were supposed to get, they said to email management, there's nothing they can do. The room was dirty, there were no separator for the shower, water got everywhere. The air conditioner was broken and they said someone was coming in 2 hours to fix it. At the end of the day, they said no one is able to come today and they will fix it tomorrow so we had to sleep with no AC the first night. The next day, they "fixed" the AC but it was just making noise, there were no cold air coming out of it. We complained again and they said they'll send someone, no one ever showed up. Everytime I was at the front desk, it seems like there were other guests complaining about something wrong with their room as well (broken shower, stinky smell, etc). I highly recommend NOT staying here to save you troubles on your vacation.

For context, I do not ever leave reviews of restaurants or hotels. Making an exception for this one due to a particularly weird experience. As someone who has travelled extensively on a budget, I am super forgiving of a lot of issues but feel the need to warn others about staying here. The location of the hotel (or maybe it’s 3 hotels?) is perfect. Close to Guggenheim, short walk from Accademia and multiple convenient vaporetto stops. Check in was promising. Nice enough staff. We left our bags in the lobby early in the day and spent the afternoon at Biennale. Once we finally got into the room it was a different story. The room looked nothing like any photos from the site. We were in a building about 300m from the main hotel and I suspect most photos were taken in one or 2 rooms in that building. It was small and in disrepair. The lights flickered constantly and the hairdryer in the bathroom was tape-wired into the vanity lights with exposed wiring visible. As someone who regularly works with electricity I wasn’t super alarmed but this could be a real turn-off for most folks. The molding in the bathroom was literally molding (there has to be a place to buy something like Kilz around there, c’mon—at least try to cover it up) and the toilet was constantly leaking from the base. There was an unused courtyard outside of our window. Seemed to be full of storage for a construction project. The lights were left on day and night for the duration of our stay making it hard to sleep…

We enjoyed our stay the staff were amazing, our room was spacious however the bathroom is screaming for a makeover the ceiling was incredibly mouldy and the shower and tiling in bad condition, unfortunately when we arrived at checkin other folk were extremely annoyed about the condition of their room and were demanding another room they said the hotel was posting photos of rooms that did not exist was misleading advertising another lot of folk were angry about the aircon remote which only the hotel staff operates so our aircon was on 24 hours a day at 24 degrees feel this is not environment friendly should be switched on and off. The location is amazing walk every or get the Gondola taxi 2 euros to St Marks square the staff will help you with directions on how to get around the quicker ways.

Arrived to property and was told no AC. They did offer a discount if we stayed, and unfortunately there were no other hotels available so we had to accept. Room was dark/dingy and nothing like the pictures shown. Bathroom had a horrible musty smell. Very much felt deceived by both the hotel and Expedia, and for the price we paid the room should have been as described. Would not recommend to anyone and if we had had to stay a second night, we would not have.

Good afternoon, AC did not work, icame down to the desk completely drenched it was so hot in the room, i asked for a bottle of water and he made me pay 3.5 euros!!!!!!!! Unbelievable! Then I asked for a quick repair they then brought a portable A/C machine but the exhaust tube did not have the right connector so they tiold us to open the windows but it was equally hot it ruined our 2 nights there. And as it wasn't enough one of the nightstand light touch switch kept coming on and off absolutely awful and they paid for our breakfast the next day and felt done! it is outrageous and i'm asking for a full refund!!! FYI the only one that help a bit was Marco the night guy!

Bad choice
Staff were friendly and helpful. The condition of the hotel is really pool. Olds and rusty furniture. Water marks almost everywhere. No room service. Breakfast very basic. Too pricey for this amenity. They charged us $239 non-refundable then they dropped the price for $149! No compensation! Far way from the main lobby. Lots of stairs and no elevator.
