Good hotel nearby the vaporetto station. Not far from the beach. And plenty of shops and restaurants in neighberhood. Pity is was, that the quai opposit the hotel was very noisy because of renovations. But is only temporary. One receptionist was not so friendly, all the others do.

stayed in several places in Italy on this holiday (& a few in Lido). The Riviera has a great location just across from the boat stop. The staff were very friendly and allowed us to check in at 10am which we didn't expect at all. (would have been happy to just leave our bags) In comparison to other places we stayed, the room was spacious .Ok yes, the decor is dated, but overall, it was a great price, was clean, breakfast was good and the location is perfect, so we were happy. Also, they offer a late check out, so no pressure on that side. Room had working AC also which is a must in August. Would stay again for sure and would recommend it.

A really nice and clean location for the trip to Venice. Staff is courteous and helpful (as we could "test", because we needed medical hints & ice for a sprained ankle...). Good breakfast ("excellent" if compared to that was is known as "Italian standard"). We had a nice room in the 4th floor.

Firstly please note that I comment from an Asian's perspective and may differ from others. Generally, the Staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean but aging (not dilapitated but antique like). The surrounding is spacious near boat stations and restaurants. Breakfast is not suitable for people looking for a sumptous American Breakfast. Overall I will describe this as a Pleasant Hotel perhaps a consideration if you like to stay in Lido.

es ist ein altes Gebäude inklusiv Geruch das nicht weg zu kriegen ist. Ausgenommen dieses, eventuell nicht für alle unangenehmes, Merkmal war alles bestens. Personal ist sehr freundlich und kompetent, Frühstuck - exzellent, Lage - bequemer für Venedig-Besucher kaum möglich - gleich gegenüber der Vaporetto-Station - über die Strasse.

We rented a car so we took a ferry to Lido. Parking nearby the hotel is subject to car park coupon (except on Sunday). We stayed in a small room at the corner of the building. Too small to our liking (we had little space to walk after we put all our pieces of luggage in the room). Location is excellent as it is opposite the vaporetto station. We especially liked the hotel decoration and furniture: they blend well with the Venice "atmosphere". Staff were courteous and competent.

I recently travelled to Venice on May 19th for 6 days. The Riviera Hotel is just what you may need to spend a very nice stay. It is quite, very clean, rooms are large enough, reception and other personnel are very nice; vaporetto station very near as well as bus and bike renting. Good ice creams in the Gran Viale. The Lido is a quite pleasant place to see too. 10 mn far from Venice ST Marc; every part of Venice easily accessible. I wish you all a very nice stay at the Riviera Hotel. I strongly recommand it!Before you leave think of buying an illimited transport ticket on the Net.

I have stayed in the Riviera on a number of occasions - mostly through work. It is a very well-located friendly hotel. Rooms are clean and functional without being luxurious while the breakfast buffet is excellent. The Lido provides a different pace from Venice and the Riviera is perfectly situated to experience both.

Lido is a great place to base yourself when visiting Venice - the beach is 10 minutes walk from the hotel and the hotel is opposite the ferry stop. We had a great couple of days and would return.

Italy, May 2009

I have to say we had a wonderful stay while in Venice. The Hotel was in a perfect location and only a 2min walk from the dock. You can see the hotel from the dock, to the right. The hotel had a perfect breakfast and the staff was very friendly. The Island of Lido is perfect for traveling and staying in Venice. Staying on Lido is easy and the cost of food is much more reasonable than in Venice. Around the hotel were many nice small restaurants. You can also explore the island and take a bike ride and walk to the beach from the hotel in 5min. This was a great hotel for the price and the location. I would recommend this to friends and was happy with my visit. I would recommend any of the hotels on Lido for the price and the ease of finding the hotel where finding a hotel in Venice can be a challenge. If you are a photographer you should visit the island of Burano for a great photo opportunity of the beautiful multi color houses. Take time to relax and enjoy your stay in one of the most beautiful places in Italy.

très bon séjour à l'hôtel riviera. le personnel est disponible. l'hôtel est très bien situé, juste à côté du vaperetto pour se rendre à Venise même. le seul bémol, mais qui n'est pas lié à l'hôtel en lui-même, ce sont les travaux effectués dans la rue à la période où nous y étions.

This hotel is very well located, on Lido, near a stop of vaporetti, in 10 minutes of the Piazza San Marco, with view on the lagoon. Very ample, comfortable rooms. Nice view. Very quiet and very easy to get to since the airport. Ideal for baggages, contrary in the center of Venice.

This was my third stay at the Riviera over the years. A great hotel on the Lido--the best breakfast I had in Italy. Directly across the street from the vaporetto (#51)--about 30 minutes from San Marco. Don't miss the beach (about 10 minute walk from the hotel). This will always be my first choice when visiting Venice--easy to get to & from--any hour of the day or night, less crowded and fewer tourists than other areas of Venice.

We stayed at the top level of the hotel. All the rooms are really run down. Doors does not close properly. Decor is really out dated and generally, the whole floor needs freshening. Others floors looks a lot better but I cannot tell. As long as you don't stay on the top floor, it seems good.

Loved the location, it was great to be able to walk down the 'main street' that the hotel was on to get some food and to walk to the end of that street to get to the beach. I don't know if this is the case with all of the queen sized beds in the hotel, but in the four rooms that I had access to during my stay, all four queen-sized beds were made up of two twin sized beds. This made sleeping with my 11 month old son and husband uncomfortable. Other than that, the hotel stay was wonderful!

the family room (no. 16) was small (10-12 qm, extra room for the children 5-6 qm) but very quiet and clean and with a working air condition. New spacous bathroom. Very friendly staff and good breakfast. Perfekt for visiting venice, because situated 100 m from the vaporetto-station lido (Line 1 and others) and 15 min walk to the public beach.

Public rooms were luxuriously appointed. Staff friendly & helpful once the initial meeting had passed. Our quad romm was in the attic, lift to the last (4th) floor and up some stairs, but no problem because of staff helpfulness. Room was spacious, terrific view of the lagoon & environs, incredibly well cooled (a relief after the heat in Venice), beautifully decorated and very quiet. The disappointment was the bathroom: not directly connected to the room, across a tiny but theoretically public corridor (there was only one other door, marked private, probably storage). It was infernally hot (at least swim suits dried well) and the plumbing didn't work well: neither hot nor cold water, something in between. At the rate we were paying one could expect a working shower! But the children thought it was fun that you could stand on the toilet seat and look over the roof tiles at the church bell tolling. Great views from other public areas. Otherwise I'd recommend it very much. Parking in the Lido is very expensive and complicated with a type of scratch card per hour to be displayed in the car, available from the desk. (12 Euro per day) But plenty of places available. This needs to be done the evening prior to the next day, quite tiring after a long day. The beach is 20 mins walking, well kept but expensive for a full day. Typ: no ned to buy water all the time, there are several fountains with drinking water available in Venice, generally in Campos or smaller plazzas, easy to refill bottles. Public toilets are expensive too. The 3 day vaporetto tickets (like the Uk Oyster touch in touch out system) are good value if you intend to travel about. No reductions for children unless they are very small. Officials do check constantly!

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The place is very clean and the staff is friendly and extremly helpful. It's worth booking the lagoon view. We loved the view over the lagoon where you can see the Piazza of San Marco in the distance. The hotel is located opposite the watertaxi and bus station which is convenient but can also be a bit noisy. Lido is a good base from which to explore Venice. We recommend the hotel and would stay there again

The personnel at the front desk were not very helpful - asking what the weather report said about the weather made the clerk to look out of the window?? – we had a feeling that we met the Italian version of Faulty Towers. But the room was fine and the breakfast was fine – there was a niche balcony with a table and some chairs overlooking the bay towards Venice There was some noise from the street during the night.

The hotel is perfectly situated with a wonderful view to Venice. I it just over the road to the vaporetti station and the bus to go round the island, therefore is is a not a quiet place but there have been no problems to sleep due to good closing windows and good working air condition. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The room we had was spacious and well kept and although the bathroom was very small, there was nothing missing. The hotel was clean and looked well kept therefore I would recommend it and will stay there again next time.

Our two triple rooms were spacious and well furnished. The Riviera is a 15-minute vaporetto ride from St. Mark's Place, so we would leave the hotel in the morning for sightseeing and only return in the evening. There were several good restaurants near the hotel as well as a supermarket, and the hotel is only 5 minutes from the vaporetto stop. The only thing I did not like was the breakfast--the choice was not big and there was NO BREAD--no rolls, no croissants, nothing. I ended up getting a loaf of bread at the supermarket and bringing it to breakfast each day. Overall, though, we enjoyed our visit and would recommend this hotel to others.

My wife and I spent 4 nights in early October and were joined by two of our children and their partners for two nights. The hotel is clean and the room cleaning was done properly. We enjoyed our stay (except a problem between one of our party and another guest not being dealt with very well by the night porter). The breakfast was good compared with most continental breakfasts. The lack of tea and coffee making facilities in the room is disappointing (although there is a cafe/bar just across the road which is very reasonable and open from about 7am to 2am). The hotels position is excellent for accessing Venice (the waterbus stop is outside the hotel and it is only 5 minutes to the first stop on Venice and 12 minutes to St Marks.)

The hotel is right across the street from the ferry terminal coming in from Venice. The room we stayed in offered an amazing view of the sunset over the water. The room is clean and the staff is friendly. The room facing the street was quite noisy and you could hear voices passing through the street almost all night long. I would not recommend the place if you are looking for a quiet night of sleep.

This is a perfectly situated hotel at a great cost. So much less expensive than Venice, and so much calmer. The beach is super close by and huge, there are restaurants and coffee shops at the doorstep. It is a lovely hotel, the room was huge. It is in fact right across the street from the Vaporetto stop. All I can say wasn't so great, and it wasn't the fault of the hotel... there is a bar or 2 that seemed to stay open until 7am. Our room faced the back which I had requested thinking it would be quieter. My mistake, it was noisy all night long, people talking loudly. The front would have been much quieter. All the traffic dies down on the main street at nightfall. Again I highly recommend this hotel and staying at the island of Lido. If I even find myself in Venice again, I won't even look anywhere else but the Riviera. A great experience.

The Riviera was essentially just as advertised. The comments from prior guests were invaluable to us and we were not at all disappointed. The location is awesome and surrounding Lido is as well...very convenient to get to Venice. The room was a tad small and dated but the bathroom was clean and modern-enough; the bed was comfortable; and the breakfast was a great start to the day and the staff was always there to make sure everything was replenished. A great stay if you don't want to bust the bank.

We had a really lovely holiday in Venice and the hotel was excellent,the hotel was on The Lido island ,a ten minute boat ride from the centre of venice and easily got to from the airport On the airport boat service. We spent our days on the beach and got the boat in the evenings to The centre. One thing about the hotel is that they dont allow you to use your own iron (you have to use the hotel's laundry service!I think that this is a very Italian hotel custom. The night porter in the hotel was very friendly and helpful.

Looks a bit tatty from the outside but inside it is lovely,very venetian in style. It is in an excellent location being across the road from the boat station for visiting Venice and surrounding areas. Shops and restaurants are all within 2 mins walk. Beach is about 10 min walk. We had a room for 4 people and was adequate in size. From our room we had a lovely view of the lagoon and Venice in the distance. Room also had airconditioning and a good size bathroom with shower. Great breakfast, good variety of food. Lido is a lovely little island and a lot quieter than Venice. Would recommend to anyone as a good base from which to explore Venice etc. as only 10 min boat ride into Venice itself. We had a lovely two days stay there before moving on.

The reception was efficient but could have been friendlier considering that it was a holiday not business hotel. The hotel surcharges(4%)for paying the hotel bill using American Express travellers cheques even if they are in euros, which I feel is outrageous. The hotel is ideally situated for commuting to Venice.

Enjoyed staying out of Venice on the Lido. We ate on the Lido instead of the much pricer city of Venice. The morning Vapporetto ride was a pleasant experience to get us ready for the tourist bustle of the city itself. Our stay at the Riviera was pleasant and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to avoid the overpriced Venician experience. We also enjoyed the other residents, especially the older ladies from England and their Need for afternnon tea.

Overall a very nice stay. Reasonable prices for Venice and great to stay on the Lido - good to get away from the hussle & bussle. Strangely, best day for us was hiring bikes and going to each end of the Lido - bikes not allowed on Venice itself! Found an excellent fish restaurant towards the south of the Lido and just chilled out all afternoon eating and drinking. Hotel slightly dated and staff a little on the stuffed shirt side, but always polite and businesslike. Would recommend it and would stay again.

L'hotel est à l'angle entre la route qui longe la mer et la rue principale du Lido. Les + : - le personnel parle en général le français - en 20 secondes on accède au vaporetto - au final, le rapport qualité / prix (par rapport aux autres prix affichés ailleurs et aux échos de diverses connaissances) est intéressant Les - : - alors qu'à Venise, il y a aucune voiture, ici c'est très passant (double bus, camions, ...) ; le sol en tremble - la chambre avec son épaisse moquette plus très jeune sent le "vieux" (même en aérant 10 heures...) - la réception télé est très moyenne

We love this hotel! It's the second time we've stayed there, partly for the beauty of the hotel, partly for the wonderful buffet breakfasts and friendly, helpful staff, and partly because we love the vaporetto ride over to Venice! We found good food and gelato when we spent the evening on Lido, though nothing spectacular; but the staff effort to help us locate a specific purchase was typical of the fine quality of the whole stay. And the airport waterbus is just outside the door, handy for early departure.

Above all else, front staff's attitude was far more acceptable. Their first priority must have been how to prevent me from running away from a hotel without paying accomodation fee. I know it is pretty important for them to observe their customer's behavior, though their manner, for hummble Japanese like me, was pretty rude and humiliating. Room was very noisy and the floor of the room had been shaken so many times without any reason, such as road construction or heavy raining. I am wondering if they have any facilities to alert us not to sleep deeply during a night without any precaution just like a soldier on their night watch. Noise from the upper floor was so obvious, I believe maybe James Bond would never have to set a bug on these rooms. And although I think it is not unusual for many small hotels in Europe, their elevator was useless.

Excellent hotel. Would definitaly recomend getting the delux double room. Best room we stayed in while in Italy. The breakfast was first rate.

First of all, the hotel is very old (inside and outisde, like most of Venisian hotels). The room is really too small and the place in general is too much noisy. From 8.00am you can hear the housekeeping staff talking very loud. The hotel sells sauna and jaccusi facilities for 15 euros...that doesn't work. Staff at the reception kind, but unhelpful.

We rented 3 rooms at the Lido; there were 6 of us traveling. The reception was excellent and the location was ideal as the vaporetto landed right in front of the hotel. The staff was very accommodating, even when the lift was out of order for a short time. The rooms were small and dated, but clean. We would definitely go back to the Lido.

The location of the hotel is absolutely super: 100m from the Vaporetto, 2 stops far from the Plazza San Marco. The staff is very nice, competent (they even spoke 3 languages) and very helfull (e.g. they told us about a vaporetto strike the day before and help us to organize our trip back to Venezia). Rooms were clean and quiet. I would go again closed eyes. Quality/price was perfect!

This is a well-maintained but somewhat older property. Its location in front of the main Lido boat dock and on the main drag is great, albeit a little noisier than other, quieter locations. The lagoon view is well worth the slightly higher price. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back.

there is no parking at this hotel. leave the car before the ferry at the entrance of venice and go by foot on the ferry.. the hotel is about 500 meters from the ferry. The watertaxi to venice is in front of the hotel. parking is very difficult on the streets

I loved this hotel. The price is unbeatable for the location of the property. Some employees spoke English, which was a definite plus. Two things I did not care for...the maids came in even after I put the do not disturb sign on the door, and the door itself was kind of flimsy. Despite that, if I were to return to Venice, I would definitely check availability at this property!

They had a great breakfast buffet. The location is excellent to travel to Venice with the Vaporetto ( 15min ) and to walk over to the beach of the Lido ( 15 min ). I will reconsider the Hotel when I go back to Venice. We had a nice room overlooking the Laguna di Venezia

This is a jewel of venetian rokoko style. The staff was very friendly and decent. The location is great with a wonderful view and a balcony to Vennice city. Although I book a single room and payed €55 only, I had a spacious and very clean room with a nice view. This hotel is to be recommended at any time!

Tolle Lage, wirklich sehr zu empfehlen, nettes Personal, saubere Zimmer, brauchbares Frühstück. Hatten Zimmer mit Blick auf San Marco. Aufgrund der Haltestelle des Wasserbusses bis 1 Uhr nachts nicht absolut leise, aber der Ausblick entschädigt dafür.

Very good value for money, at the expense of being less convenient than Venice. Much less choice of eating places on the Lido. However, very convenient for the vaporetti. Clean sheets every day, good breakfast, the staff were good. Although vaporetti started about 6am, the noise was significant from about 4am - buses, boats, etc. On the other hand, we had to move to Venice for the last night to get a bus at 6.50am for Treviso (Ryanair) and the hotel near the bus station was on a small canal which had boats going along it from about 4am - so that was almost as noisy! The shower was OK but sprayed randomly around over the curtain a bit. We learnt that "double bed" doesn't always mean double bed in British terms: it may be two single beds put together. And don't believe the location on some maps: it really is right by the vaporetti stop. Recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riviera on Lido. The room was great and the vapparetto stop was accross the street. You board #1 to go to Venice and because it's the first stop you always get a great seat. The neighborhood the hotel was in was really nice and quiet to come back to after sightseeing in Venice. The hotel had great breakfasts also. We had a wonderful visit.

This hotel is in great location in Lido 10 mins from Venice and right across road to vaporetto stop.Staff were very helpful and my single room was quite spacious.Cleanliness was very good and breakfast has a very good variety and was plentiful.However hotel needs serious refurbishment as its decor is almost victorian in style but have no major complaints.

Wir waren mit dem Hotel sehr zufrieden. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfreich. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit tollem Blick auf Venedig. Dass das Hotel direkt an der Schiffsanlegestelle liegt ist sehr praktisch, aber dadurch ist es auch etwas lauter. Hat uns aber nicht sehr gestört. Alles in allem ist dieses Hotel sehr zu empfehlen.

The location was excellent in that it was just a short walk from the vaporetto stop. We found the staff to be very helpful and courteous. They recommended a local restaurant called Africa which had excellent food at reasonable prices. In fact we ate there 3 nights. We would stay at the Riviera again and would recommend it to our friends and relatives.

Comfortable and quite stylish hotel (except for the Campari sign on the room). Well organised, pleasant reception, and very convenient for Venice centre. Good breakfast (but avoid the coffee and take cappochino instead!)Bearing in mind this is Venice, acceptable value for money (€120 double).

The hotel is beautiful and our room was spacious. We even had a balcony with plants and a view of Venice. The location was good; its off the main island so its more quiet and local. And its literally seconds away from the vaparatto stop. You can be in St. Marks Square in about 10 minutes.

VERY easy to find! Literally across the street from the traghetto stop for Lido. Rooms were simple, but nice. Reception was very nice. Staff was superb! I have only 2 complaints; noise and EXTRA firm mattress. We were on, what I thought was the top floor, yet we heard footsteps above us all night long. Most times it was loud enough to shake the overhead light. Also, whenever the city bus drove by outside, the building (room on 6th floor) would shake (a little unsettling!). The mattress was exceptionally firm. Not sure if it was brand new, or just designed to feel like concrete :-) Overall, good value for money considering the location.

A very nice hotel located on a charming beach resort island across from San Marcos and the main Island of Venice. Very easy to find, just a short easy walk (we had a lot of luggage)from the Lido Vaporetto stop The Staff spoke English and was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and served in an upscale dining room with a view of the street. Our room had a view of the Lagoon with Venice and San Marcos in the distance. Lido island was also a nice exploration with a market and shops very near the hotel and the beach within walking distance. We will definitely stay here again.

Very spacious room with a big terrace overlooking the vaporetto station. This could be a problem in summer when it is very busy if you want to leave your windows open. But as the room is equipped with a/c that probably won't be an issue. You can see St. Marks in the distance and watch the big cruise ships go by in the mornings and evenings. Good breakfast, good coffee, very friendly staff. I would certainly go back.

This was a great hotel. It's a bit off the central area and takes about 20 minutes to get to San Marco and 40-45 minutes to get to the train station by vaporetto but that didn't bother us. The had an incredible spread for breakfast - cereal, milk, yoghurt, croissants, pastries, fruit (fresh and canned), ham and cheese. The hotel staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. We were put near an elevator the first night but found it too noisy so they moved us for the subsequent nights. Rooms were quite clean too.

The hotel is ideally situated close to everything and is beautifully clean and tidy. On arrival and during our stay we felt the staff at check in were rude and Condescending. Although on departure we left some jewellery behind and when we contacted the hotel they were more than helpful and posted our stuff to us without any hassles. Overall a lovely place to stay, shame there was no hotel parking.

This was an excellent hotel for the price in Venice. The service to main part of the Venice was frequent and inexpensive. It was nice to return to the Lido at the end of the day which lacked the crowds of the main parts of Venice. The hotel was nicely furnished with a good breakfast. Highly recommended.

We loved the Riviera. Very easy to get into city center and our room had a great view of Venice. We didnt find the location to be noisy (then again we were exhausted). The decor of the room was quite nice. The staff was very nice and even assisted us in changing a car rental reservation. The island of Lido is quite quaint and we enjoyed roaming around there as well. We very much enjoyed our stay here!

Although based on the Lido the Hotel is in an excellent location next to the Waterbus stop. Easy access to all the main parts of Venice and better value than staying in and around the centre. If you have children the Lido has the added advantage of the beach and bike rides in a relatively traffic free environment. A definate advantage to get away from the crowds in the daytime before going into the centre early evening. Can be a little noisy in the square in the morning when the local buses start to run but not a major problem. Would defintely use again if visiting.
