This was a great hotel for the following reasons: 1) Location. It is located a few minutes' walk from the Rialto Bridge, so it is easy access to the Rialto Bridge, Aliaguna motorboat stop, restaurants, etc. Once you exit at the Rialto motorboat stop, find your way to Campo Manin area with the statute of Daniel Manin with a lion, and on side of the square with the kebab and gelato store you will see a small alley where you will find the Hotel Centauro; 2) The hotel is quiet and clean, and the rooms are decorated as described on the website. I had hope to get a room with a canal view, but they were all sold out. However, I did have a spacious room with a balcony with lovely flowers, a table and chairs to sit outside. I did not see an elevator in the hotel, so if this is a concern, please inquire before you book; 3) The hotel's breakfast was great. A very nice selection of pastries, cakes, hard-boiled eggs, cold meats and cheese, bread, cereal, and a nice selection of tea, coffee, or you can request a cappuccino. The breakfast room is on the first floor of the hotel, and you can step out on its balcony to get a nice view of the canal and buildings surrounding the hotel; and 4) The staff is friendly and helpful. They were patient with my limited Italian, helped with directions, and allowed me to borrow an adapter when my universal adapter did not have the correct connection. The front desk is manned 24-hours which is very helpful. Overall, a great hotel.
