“Il Mercante Di Venezia has a prime advantage, a quiet location a short walk from the Santa Lucia train station, which is welcome in a city of bridges and cobblestones. I especially appreciate the hotel's nods to its 18th-century roots. The garden offers a tranquil respite, and the friendly, attentive service seems to anticipate every need.”

single beds shower attachement
the breakfast WAS good, i will admit that.
the 'superior double room' promised much, it delivered little. two single beds were pushed together, that supposedly formed a 'matrimonial' bed. the shower did not have an attachement on the wall, it was only near the tap.
