Hotel Riviera in Lido

The hotel is very new! But also very small! The entrance is even quite understated 😂
Aside from the restaurant and bar, there are practically no other facilities!

If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable, and modern hotel in Venice, I'd recommend this one, but be prepared for transportation costs. Don't expect much from a chain hotel, as there aren't any particularly noteworthy services or facilities.

From Venice train station, you have to take a boat to Lido Island. Since it's a large island, there are many boats available. Luckily, the Lido is very close to the boat station! The only downside is carrying your luggage on and off the boat during check-in and check-out. It's not too far to the main island, and there are plenty of boats. In the mornings and evenings, you can escape the crowds and old-fashioned environment 😂 There are even direct boats to Burano!

The rooms offer a panoramic view of the main island, especially at sunset – absolutely stunning! Remember to choose a room with a view! It's definitely worth it!

The breakfast is decent, not lavish but enough to fill you up. Everything in the refrigerator is chargeable.

A special reminder! When you exit the train station with your luggage and need to take the ferry, a man in a vest will stand at the ferry station pretending to be from the ferry company and trying to charge you an extra "large luggage fee." This is unreasonable! Please don't be fooled! He is not a ferry company employee, his identification is fake, and there is no extra charge for large luggage on the ferry! Please board the ferry when there are many people and refuse to pay him! Otherwise, first-timers, confused and especially if the ferry has just left and the station isn't crowded, might almost fall for his trick! If you argue, he might get angry and refuse to let you board, forcing you to carry your luggage across the bridge to another ferry station for another one 😡 Complaining at the tourist information center or hotel counter is useless; they can only tell you that his behavior is wrong, and if you've already paid, you'll have to call the police yourself!

This is a very new hotel, very close to the sea. I highly recommend visiting Lido in Venice, in addition to the main island, to enjoy the natural scenery.

Very nice and helpful staff. Excellent location, takes 1 minute to get to the nearest ferry port. ROOMS WITH TERRACE ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The view is incredible. Also the gelato downstairs is quite good

Very nice hotel, and perfectly located. The rooms are ok, but the bathroom is too small. The beds are really confortable. The breakfast is really delicous. Service is very friendly.

Good hotel with nice decor and a friendly staff. Good transit location for Lido.

Absolutely superb location. Nice rooms, no minibar
