Very clean and convenient property for solo traveller exploring Venice. Central location, easy to get to by ferry from Venezia S. Lucia train station (30 minute walk is a bit tricky due to nature of Venice streets/bridges, but manageable if no accessibility concerns). Amazing bakery (‘Venice Bakery’) nearby, had best panini and pastry I’ve tried in Italy so far.

Checkin was lovely and helpful. She gave us our room early. The maid provided a fan. Great shower, bed. Excellent location right on a square with many dining choices. However, pretty noisy at night- at least until midnight. Bring white noise. Didn’t add on breakfast. The room and choices seemed cramped and crowded. Breakfast was available at downstairs cafes.

I loved the location of this hotel. It was very easy to get to via the Vaporetto and Google Maps. Many food choices within minutes, close to canals, and just a few minutes from the square. My room was clean, the air conditioning worked, and there was a mini refrigerator. I had a single room but after a long time of traveling throughout Europe, it was nice to have my own bathroom/shower with a hairdryer! I would stay again.

Hotel Rio is located in a small square with many dining options. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We only paid for the English Breakfast one day but it had great options of bacon rashers, sausages, hash brown patties and scrambled eggs. The location is extremely convenient as it is only a two minute walk from the Vaporetto station. This gave us convenient access to the Train Station, other parts of Venice, and the islands of Burano and Murano. The square outside the hotel is quite lively but everything closes down precisely at midnight and it was quiet until 8:00 AM. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved exploring the streets of Venice. We would definitely recommend Hotel Rio to anyone visiting Venice. Grazie Mille!

Perfect location. It's really convenient and close to all the most important places to visit. Comfortable room with a lot of space even for a single room. Only drawback is that the air conditioning didn't work properly in my room on the second floor and it was really hot inside the room. Other than that, I'd give it a 10 and would definitely stay there again.
