A lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Staff so friendly and accommodating. Room was basic but clean and comfortable with great air conditioning. Breakfast great with lots of choice. Highly recommend this place. Lido is a great location and transport is superb to Venice city & other islands.
We stayed for 2 nights and thought the location was perfect and super easy to get back and forth to Venice. Lido was a beautiful little island and felt there were was tons to explore. The staff was really helpful with helping us figure out the ferry back to the airport and had bag storage incase we wanted to go explore for the day.
The hotel was perfectly located clean and very well serviced. Very friendly with helpful staff. Only issue was the inability to control temperature eirher hot or cool.
Lovely traditional hotel, loved the location as very convenient for transport links. Breakfast was sufficient to start our day exploring. Staff friendly and room clean. Bit of noise from the bars across the street.
Great hotel, in the traditional, grandiose style, which couldn’t be more convenient for the water bus stops…. right across the road. Lots of places to eat and drink around, including the restaurant and gelateria in the hotel itself. Plus the best view of Venice you’re likely to get from the rooms.
Great place. Hope to stay longer next time…. though I will bring a kettle for the room, next time!
The hotel is VERY convenient to the bus and water taxi, which is vital in Venice. Our room overlooked the lagoon with a wonderful balcony/deck. Would stay there again and very much recommend it.
Great location and truly excellent staff. It really is the perfect spot and we had a wonderful time.
The only issue [room 106] was the noise from the bar opposite until 3am each night. Oh and the shower flooding the bathroom floor each time due to 30cm shower screen.
Stayed many times but has had a fantastic makeover in the winter As usual the cleanliness is excellent and the staff very helpful.The breakfast is still at a high standard
I appreciated that I could reach a public beach within a 20 minutes walk to enjoy the Sunruse and still ha a wonderful view to the Skyline of Venice for the sunset
Super convenient spot, right across from the vaporetto/water bus stop. Small rooms were not quiet, but were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was tasty with eggs, breads, sweets, cheeses, yogurt, fruit, and cereals. Coffee/tea were included. Cappuccino was a modest plus up.
The staff was very friendly, the location was amazing and walking distance to everything on lido island. The rooms were cute and boutique style. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see lido and Venice
Lovely classic hotel. Great location opposite water bus stop. 10 mins from St Marco Square by ferry. Friendly staff both at breakfast and for drinks at the bar in the late evening. We felt sorry on the morning of Tuesday 22nd April 2025 for one of the breakfast staff as a german traveller gave her a very hard time about the selection of breads for breakfast. The selection for breakfast was great. Plenty of variety for everyone. Great staff all round.
The hotel is just across the street from the boats terminal. There are lots of place to eat, bars and gelateria near by. You can walk to the beach or take a bus.
Very convenient hotel near waterbuses. Good breakfast. Good working airco. I had a lively spacious room with a private terrace full of flowers and plants. Good staff.
