Scene
Budget hotel in neoclassical building with contemporary interiors
Built in the 20th-century, the neoclassical exterior of Hostal Venecia has Roman columns and curvy wrought-iron balconies. Inside, some of the detailed molding may be original, but much of the decor is redone in a homey contemporary style. The lobby features stylish striped and damask wallpaper in light gray and white shades, which is complemented by black and burgundy bucket seats. Black furnishings include several lockers available for guests' use, plus there are two computer stations. The breakfast room has a streamlined look with dark wood chairs and tables, as well as white walls accented by damask patterned wallpaper and framed black-and-white photos. Overall, this budget choice suits young couples and small groups of friends seeking something a step up from a hostel.

Rooms
Small rooms with contemporary decor that range in style and quality
Decor in these rooms ranges, with some having been renovated more recently than others -- so furnishings can be a bit worn. Rooms have attractive wooden floors and either wooden or white furniture; some feature gray and white color schemes, while others have stylish damask panels above beds that pair with wooden wall panelling and white marble-topped wooden nightstands. Overall, they're clean and pleasant, though some can be small -- particularly the Economic Rooms, which don't have windows to the outside. Mattresses come in twin and double sizes. While all rooms have TVs and desks, few have much lounging space. Other amenities include safes and free Wi-Fi, plus some rooms have mini-fridges and balconies. Bathrooms are small and vary widely in style; some are a bit dated with bright, colorful tiling, shower/tub combos, and older fittings, while others are more modern, with large slate gray tiles and walk-in showers. Note that some guests have complained about noise in lower-floor rooms.
