What a gem of a hotel in Venice! ..and most of it thanks to the staff working there. Everybody was just exceptionally polite, friendly and helpful in a lovely, genuine way. The room was clean and quiet, big enough with a large Italian style bathroom. The breakfast in the morning was perfect, enough options to rotate your breakfast style for a few mornings.. I loved the location on Santa Maria Formosa Square, an open space with a great bar just next to the hotel, still situated very central in the Venice map. All in all we had a great time at Hotel Scandinavia and we do recommend it to anyone coming to explore the city. 5 stars.
