Sometimes I thought the Aman was waiting for me, but it was more. The interior is somehow dusty, the guests mostly pensioners for some years and things like the lousy breakfast are simply annoying. Personally I donīt think I would stay again. I simply want something more. To be honest this "more" Comes with a price tag, even for the double price of our room I often only get a simple room. From this point CaīSagredoo can be a good option as it is surely not a bad hotel, especially hardware-wise.
Here my review:
The hotel
Suite
Breakfast
Restaurant
Another negative is the fact that as you exit the hotel on the land side, you are on the Strada Nuova, with its masses of tourists and cheap souvenir shops. Agree that Gritti is a far better choice. I had a private tour of Aman and lunch there. I have no desire to ever stay at that Aman.
