  A review of Venice
by Lia Gardner

The description on this hotel's website reads that this hotel 'pays particular attention to the warm welcome of its guests and the staff do all they can to ensure a welcome that not only offers their guests great professionalism but also lets them feel a little less like tourists and more as if they were at home.' Hmm. As a well behaved and inoffensive, lone female traveller I was struck by air of bafflement  and surprise with which I was greeted by the staff at this 3 star hotel. The remainder of my stay was charcaterised by a decidedly gloomy and uncomfortable atmosphere and a distinct coolness on the part of the reception staff. Having read about thier 'great local knowledge', I was less than impressed when asking for local transport details, I was brusquely told to 'go to the ticket office', particularly when I noticed other guests receiving lengthy and helpful advice! What did I do wrong? My stay here culminated in what can only be described as a tantrum of toddler proportions by a receptionist when I reasonably queried my bill upon checkout. Sexism, racism or just typical rudeness, I am not sure how to explain the attitudes of the staff in this establishment. Needless to say. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.
