 My husband and I were beginning our honeymoon here and requested an early check in to relax as we had just gotten off the plane The receptionist told us that it was not possible but we had been able to request the option so that was confusing and we would have to wait until at least 1pm We returned at 1pm and she then changed her answer and said not until 2pm And it was not until the strike of 2pm that we were allowed in our room In the future do not offer an early check in option if you are not able to provide one 
 The hotel is very close 3 blocks to a subway stations which train line is very convenient to get to all of the major sites of Venice But it is far enough out of the center to be tranquil Great location
