This is the 2nd worst hotel I have ever stayed in, and I'm 61! I wouldn't bother to write this review at all if *********** hadn't advertised the property as having working air conditioning, but two nights without sleep tends to ruin a holiday. I will, however, start with the positives. The location of Ca del Dose is excellent - halfway between Arsonale and St Mark's Square could not be better, even though it is in dingy side street, up 5 flights of stairs, overlooking lots of other rundown properties, all with the faded shutters closed. The price was also very reasonable, comparative to accommodation costs in the UK. The negatives, however, outweigh the positives. The noisy, rattling and dirty air con unit in the small room failed to get the temperature inside below 27C, even though the outside temperature never exceeded 30C, (and we tried every setting available on the unit.) Perhaps you can sleep in that, but we couldn't. The advertised fridge would be best described as a chiller unit, as the drinks we kept in it never felt much cooler than the room. One handle was missing from the mdf wardrobe, (if you can call it that), making it very difficult to open and breaking my wife's nails. The toilet was brown below the water line - why couldn't they use limescale remover? The sealant in the shower unit was also mouldy, and it should have been changed years ago. The fixings for the shower head were so loose that we could only shower by holding the shower head in one hand and trying to wash with the other. This list is not exhaustive, as this poor standard of maintenance makes cleaning to a reasonable standard almost impossible and, to be be fair, we only complained to the hotelier about the air conditioning unit. She berated us for leaving the unit on when we went out, and pointed to the target temperature saying "see, it is 16C in here, this is cold!" What could we say in the light of such ignorance? I just showed her my own thermometer and explained that we could not sleep in such conditions. I just hope that *********** take this property off their listing as the facilities that Ca del Dose advertise have clearly not been maintained and are no longer functioning. To end on a good note, we are now in Lake Garda in excellent accommodation and a positive review will follow.
