Reviews and Ratings
After exploring the hotel on a hot day, I found the walls to be quite thin making it a bit noisy. The room was too small for my liking, but I would recommend it for families. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast had a mix of Italian and 'west' style options. The location was fabulous allowing easy access to the main town, the Lido beach, and the ferry port, just avoid the crowds around the attractions. Not staying in the heart of the city saved me €500.
The hotel is located in a brilliant central spot, close to major sights and just a short walk from the Grand Canal waterbus stop, offering a beautiful and safe setting. However, the rooms are very tiny and cramped, with poor-quality furnishings. The service was a mix of less helpful to very friendly and kind. The breakfast selection was excellent, but there were language barriers with staff. Overall, a good value for the prime location.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were quaint with an old Italian charm, spacious, and very clean after a recent makeover. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and attentive staff who even noticed me working for hours. The location was perfect, allowing me to enjoy the peace of hearing birds sing while still being just a short vaporetto ride away from Piazza San Marco. The dining experience was satisfying, although the buffet service could be slightly slow. Overall, a delightful experience with great value for money.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with a charming vintage-style room featuring a king-size bed, a great bathroom, and a small balcony overlooking the lagoon. While the view was a bit stressful compared to staying in Venice, the room was comfortable even though we booked the 'small double room. ' The service was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to help us with directions and recommendations, including suggesting parking at Tronchetto. The location was ideal, close to everything in Lido, with only a few noisy disturbances but still offering the convenience of being near the beach and main attractions. Dining options were good, especially with gluten-free choices and proximity to stores and eateries. The facilities were well-maintained and convenient for a pleasant stay.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience for me. The room had some issues with water everywhere and an unstable shower head, but it was typical in size for European standards. On the bright side, the breakfast spread was delightful with a variety of cereals, meats, eggs, croissants, and more. The service from the waiter and the staff overall was top-notch, although some facilities were not working properly. The location was brilliant, just a short walk from major sights and close to public transport options. The dining experience was nice but could use improvements. Overall, it was a decent stay with its ups and downs.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and cozy, perfect for a solo traveler, but there was a lingering smell of damp and mold. The service was impeccable, with super kind staff to kickstart your day, rent bikes, and assist you. The location was a mixed bag - lively during the day but too far from attractions for some.
