Antica Locanda Al Gambero enjoys a superb location close to the Rialto stop, making it easily accessible, and just a short walk from St Mark's Square. Guests appreciate the clean rooms, with some offering lovely canal views from which you might even hear serenades. Some guests have noted the stairs, as there's no elevator, but many find the location and the continental breakfast, particularly the croissants and lemon cake, well worth it.
