Lido is more affordable and tranquil than Venice - and yet very close to it. The seaside resort has also attractions of its own, including the beach (the hotel can arrange sun beds and umbrellas on request) and the Venice Film Festival.

The hotel offers charming views of the lagoon and unforgettable sunsets. A wellness area is available with sauna and whirlpool. Guest rooms are clean, comfortable and fitted with all conveniences.

Old hotel, but clean. Situated at 25mts from the vaporetto dock. Very convenient. Internet access still espensive. Should be free. Good value.

Date of Stay: May, 2007
The Riviera Hotel was so much more than we expected. Three of us stayed in room #73 which was very large, even by U.S. standards. It was on the top floor of the hotel and had beautiful views of Venice. Everything was located very close to the hotel and the water taxi station was right across the street, so hopping from one island to another was easy and convenient. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at the Riviera on our next visit to Venice.

My wife and I started our 2-week European vacation by staying at the Hotel Riviera on Lido Island. Across the street (25 Yards) from the water bus stop, the Riviera is in an ideal location for mature couples or familes with small children. My wife and I are from the USA and do not speak Italian. The entire staff was very very friendly and very very helpful. The men behind the front desk made sure we knew how to travel to and from the various sightseeing venues everyday. The buffet breakfast was bountiful and very good. It had fruits, cereal, meat, cheese pastries, milk, juice, coffee, tea, custard, and more! Our room was very comfortable and larger than we expected. It was very clean and had a private bathroom and balcony. The room was cleaned every morning. We stayed in four very good hotels on this trip. Without question, the Riviera was the best of the four.

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!

Beautiful landscape, kind personnel, very good breakfast. I would suggest it to friends.
 
From: Claus Pilemand, Denmark
Date of Stay: July, 2008
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.

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

We had a wonderful stay at the Riviera. It was clearly once a very high-end resort hotel; it is beginning to show its age a litle bit, but it is still a very classy place. The sound insulation between rooms is unfortunately very poor.
 
From: SB, Germany
Date of Stay: May, 2008
perfect spot for a hotel to visit Venice; directly at the vaporetto station; we could move-in at 12 noon and could drop our luggage on our last day from move-out at noon until 5 p.m.

1st time in Venice, and we really enjoyed it. The hotel was good enough for the time we spent there. Very good location. Will come back.
 
From: SB, Germany
Date of Stay: May, 2008
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.

The hotel is well located, near the "vaporetti-stop" with a beautiful view on the lagoon. The crew is very kind. The price of the room, breakfeast included, is very reasonable.

We were very pleased with the hotel and staff.The hotel was extremely nice, good price, great location and the staff was excellent. We were there for 4 days and certainly will recommend the hotel.
 
From: TL, France
Date of Stay: February, 2008
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.
