Review of Hotel Tre Archi 3*

Hotel Tre Archi was the single most unpleasant experience staying in a hotel that I've ever had. I arrived in Venice after visiting Rome and Florence looking forward to the romantic and beautiful city; The gorgeous architecture, bridges, canals and people. I was instantly let down upon arrival to Hotel Tre Archi. My girlfriend and I were told that our room was not available due to an issue with the restroom-understandable. Instead of providing us with another room, the owner told us we had to walk to another sister hotel "ten minutes away" with four suitcases. If you've ever been to Venice, it isn't the easiest to get around with large luggage — bridges with plenty of stairs and sidewalks that are comparable to a maze puzzle from my childhood. The walk was more than 20 minutes away just to arrive at a run down looking "Canal Hotel" that was hot and smelled like a sweaty grandmother wearing cheap rose scented perfume. I am by no means a "diva" but the room was unacceptable, especially science this was such an inconvienience. There was no elevator so my girlfriend and I, already exhausted from travel and lugging bags around aimlessly, were forced to again lug our baggage up 3 flights of narrow staircases — just to arrive in a tiny run down room. I'm an adventurer and have slept on the Appalachian Trail with no tent or shelter for weeks and I found this room I was lying for to be disgusting. I went back out to find another hotel. Since they wouldn't refund me I told them I'd rather pay another 200€ to stay in a pleasant place than stay there. The receptionist called the boss at the original hotel and he insisted that we come back to the original hotel and he would upgrade us to a junior sweet with a canal view. I was upset he didn't offer this to us originally but just wanted to be done with it all so we went back. Arrived again to another small hot room with no A/C and splattered mosquitos on the wall. There was no canal view and the boss literally shrugged his shoulders and told us there was nothing he could do. He flat out lied to our faces. I would not wish this experience upon anyone else. I would do research on your hotels and immediately take Hotel Canal and Tre Archi off of your list. Hope this review was helpful. — Rick.
