Our stay was really nice! The hotel is very charming. The area of Lido is a bit calmer than Venice. Also, the hotel is very close to the ferry port

Traditional Hotel on the Lido
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.

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.

Great location and excellent staff... but
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.

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!

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.

Lovely classic hotel
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.
