I stayed here for 3 nights with my family and what a great choice this was. The location is perfect, only a 5 minute walk from the ferry/taxi terminal and a 10 minute walk to the beach. After sightseeing in Venice, it is lovely to come back to an open air pool or sit on the huge drinks terrace. There are several really nice restaurants within walking distance. The hotel is stunning architecturally on the outside but with very modern bedrooms, which are really bright with large windows. The food and drinks are reasonably priced for a 5 star hotel. The service from booking and throughout the stay, has been outstanding, especially the front desk team who have been so helpful. Definitely recommend this hotel.

A beautiful hotel in Lido, less than 5 min walk from the waterbus port. Located on one of the main streets in Lido surrounded by restaurants and shops. You can easily go to Venice, Murano and Burano from Lido via the waterbus. The hotel is full of character and has interesting history. Thanks to Stefano for telling us about the history of the hotel. The rooms were modern, light and airy with very comfortable beds. Breakfast was a delightful experience with fresh fruit, ham& cheese and some pastries. There was an additional breakfast menu to order from and this included pancakes, waffles, salmon, eggs and bacon. The pool is a lovely relaxing space with pool towels included. The hotel give you a voucher for a free drink at the bar. The Hugo Spritz is a must of you are in Lido! The staff are attentive, welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Lido.

Beautiful hotel and very worthwhile staying here! Our check in time was 3pm however, our flight got us in at 10am and we arrived at the hotel by 11:30am. We had emailed the hotel a few days in advance and they had mentioned that they would be able to accommodate us earlier, as long as the room was available. We are happy to say that they were able to accommodate us. We received a warm welcome at check in and received free drinks either alcoholic or non alcoholic to enjoy. We felt that our room was modern and spacious. We booked a deluxe 3 person room. Plenty of storage to put your items. Bathroom was huge and spacious. Hotel towels huge and fluffy. Beds are nice and firm but comfortable. Our room had robes and slippers for each one of us. Guests can use the pool outside everyday at no extra charge. The hotel gives you 2. hour "spa" services daily at no extra charge. However, you need to call the spa each day in order to make the booking. Very easy to do. This includes the use of a variety of saunas and warm hot tub. Personally, the 3 of us thought it was just okay. Rather enjoy the pool outside and their super comfy lounge chairs. We ate lunch at the Mode restaurant at the hotel which is just inside the entrance of the hotel. We ordered chicken breast caesar salad. The portion was really good. There is also a rooftop bar restaurant but we didn't bother going there because of the heat and humidity. This downstairs restaurant serves food all day. The formal dining room dinner begins at 7:30pm. Breakfast was included with our stay. The most amazing breakfast experience that you will have in your entire life! Breakfast is served from 7am to 10:30am in a beautiful sunny room or outside patio. Staff are very friendly and helpful. First as starters, they bring a fruit platter, meat and cheese platter, pastries platter, and a bread basket with butter. Then they take your order for coffees and cappuccinos, fresh orange juice, etc. There are also fresh juice bottles, fresh fruits, Melba toast, cookies, crackers, cereals, granola, jams, honey, yogurt, at the side breakfast counter. Then they take your order for the hot items such as eggs which you can have any style scrambled, sunny side up, etc, waffles, pancakes, porridge, pork sausages, salmon, etc. Amazing Breakfast! Our rooms were cleaned and made up every time we went out. Excellent service! Excellent rating for cleanliness. The gym is really small only 3 people can fit, but it's workable. There are lots of restaurants across the street from the hotel which are reasonably priced. Our stay was excellent! The staff are nice, friendly, and helpful. We hope to stay here again if we ever come back to Venice! Some extra information: Ferries to San Marco (St. Mark's Square) is easy to use. It's called the Vaporetto which is a water bus. Take 1D or number 2 to get to San Marco or Rialto. We bought a 3 day pass which cost 45 euros pp. The Vaporetto run 24/7. There is a small grocery store across the street from the hotel, about a 2 minute walk called Conad. Very nice! There is a coin laundry located on Le Panto street which is about a 7 min walk from the hotel. It is a self service laundry but there is a person there to help you set the temperature and turn on the machines for you. They will also make change for you. Excellent system! 1 large bag of laundry cost us 7 euros and dryer costs 2 euros for every 10 min.

The hotel is really quirky with an artistic tiled and colourful exterior and a movie theme (linked to the Venice film festival which is held on the Lido nearby). The staff are really friendly and authentic but not super efficient. We actually find this relaxing, part of the charm preferring this over highly attentive staff. There are two restaurants. The rooftop restaurant has great views of Piazza San Marco just a few miles in the distance. We didn’t eat there preferring the more traditional Italian food in the ground floor restaurant which was very good. The local wine recommendation was also very good. Breakfast was served in a light, airy and colourful breakfast room. I particularly appreciated the freshly squeezed orange juice which for some unfathomable reason is not offered in some more expensive hotels! For me this is a sign of quality. A fantastic selection of fresh fruits and pastries were provided, as well as cooked items - I had the scrambled eggs and bacon (more like pancetta). We really enjoyed the breakfast options but there’s no full English options if that’s your thing. We booked a Spa package which was excellent value. The therapists were very friendly and professional. The 100 minute massage was a highlight for me. My wife very much enjoyed the facial, particularly that the therapist didn’t just disappear when the mask was applied but continued to massage the body. My wife is not a stranger to regular facial and noted that the products were high quality but that there was just as much attention to massaging the whole body rather than just facial massage. Just a point of difference to be aware of if you’re used to more traditional facials. I considered when booking that a 2 hour slot for the Spa facilities may be restrictive but unlike some spas which have outside views this spa was in the basement, very nice, but 2 hours was sufficient. The Spa itself has steam rooms, saunas, a relax room and showers. The Spa is better than many hotel spas I have been in and probably the best iI have experienced in this price range. Highlights for me was the large Jacuzzi which was more like a hydrotherapy massage pool, and a good size sauna with a three stage cold mist shower. Very welcome after the sauna. The Lido itself is quite laid back with amazing beaches. When we visit Venice again we may well stay on the Lido and purchase a weekly ACTV water bus pass. What we now realise is that this would be a great way to see and visit the whole of Venice. In summary, at the price point, the Spa package and hotel exceeded expectations. We’d definitely go back.
