Hotel Rialto
Great location and wonderful staff! The hotel is a bit worn out and the rooms are comparable to those on a cruise ship. You won't visit here to stay in the hotel, for sure. We had an issue with our bathroom and it was sorted quickly and seamlessly. It's VERY easy to find this hotel- just take Vaparetto ...
