Giving this place one star is a BLESSING, I wish I could give it ZERO stars!!! The old man in the reception, is extremely rude. He does not respect guests and especially not women, he told us to “be quiet” and “shut up” multiple times when we went to complain about the A/C not working, to us and another guest. The A/C kept shutting off every single hour, they would not give us the remote, we could not sleep, we ended up leaving at 7 am because it was impossible to sleep and the heat was horrendous. The entire place was filled with water damage, dirt and mold, I was coughing the entire time I was there. Do not waste your time or money on this place.

Such a cute location. Don't be fooled. POS and dubious staff who advertise an air-conditioned room THAT WASN'T! We politely declined and walked out. We had to. We were having a medical emergency with our traveling guest. Expedia not supporting their clients by going to bat for my traveling family by demanding a refund from the Messner folks. What's up with that?

No air conditioning - miserable heat in our room - staff lied to us and refused to act on our requests. We told them immediately on check in that the AC was broken; they assured us a technician would come the next morning. This repeated each day and all three night were miserable. Very disappointed as we had stayed here on out honeymoon 23 years ago and my wife lead tour groups to Venice before that who stayed at Messner. Never again!

Nice place, good value for the price, good food in the restaurant, very nice eating environment in the “garden”. My main complaint is that the check-in instructions sent us to some random alley with NOTHING THERE! After traveling for 20+ hours we were in no mood for that. We finally went to where we thought (hoped) the hotel was and were able to check-in. Why have special instructions that take you somewhere else?

While location is quiet and wonderful the hotel itself has seen better days. No batteries in tv remote and no remote for AC at all. Every 30min at night our AC would try to click on but fail and wake us up. Staff at restaurant are nice.

The room was very warm, the air-con was ON but not working, when we complained about it they said that gonna check it, but no one came for it, and after while I back to them they said we lost the remote control. In addition the 2nd day there was no water over 3hrs ... the location is quite and peaceful but bit far from the main touristic place. Apart of that, the food at the restaurant was good.

The hotel is really bad conditions. Carpets are stained and old. Air conditioning( per description) it had it, but it didn’t work and they did not provide fans. He room was so hot couldn’t sleep. The beds are tiny more look like a cot very uncomfortable. Management was not helpful when explained the AC situation. The site should not not advertise this hotel. If there was a lower score than 1 star it will be a negative score. Very disappointed

Dirty, the Hotel old gray hair man refuses to turn on the air conditioner which clearly states on their website that the room has air conditioning. We checked out the next day and he refused to refund us the two more nights we didn't stay claimed due to the hotel policy, that is bull crap. The policy should not apply because we didn't have air conditioning and were made to sleep in a hot dirty room. Shower was tiny water leaks all over the bathroom. Beds were hard as a rock.
