Osteria Contemporanea da Riccardo In Venezia

21/03/2024: Not a four star hotel. The room was very nice but the heated towel rail in the bathroom was stuck on full heat so we opened the window in early March. The soap and shampoo had no conditioner and the freebees quality was more two star than four star. We didn't eat there. The people on the doorstep trying to lure you in to eat were off-putting. The hotel is in a lovely area close enough to a vaporetto stop with interesting bars and shops in the area. The €4.50 a night to be paid in cash was explained when we arrived. There was a working lift and the WiFi was very good quality. No idea whether there was working Air conditioning and I would want that in warmer months. It was quiet and our room overlooked a deserted alleyway but you could hear the children playing at the local primary school which was joyous. It felt impersonal but I'd stay there again if they fixed the heating/cooling issues.

09/11/2023: Excellent hotel. We were there for 2 nights and don't regret it. The living conditions are excellent, the breakfast is very good, the view from the window overlooks one of the canals. The hotel staff are great guys who are always kind and polite. The area is very quiet and peaceful, although it is not far from the main square. We recommend this hotel to everyone.
