Location
Hotel Russo Palace stands at Riviera S. Nicolò, 11A on Lido island, about 430 meters from the Adriatic Sea beachfront at Lido de Venezia. The hotel is roughly a 10-minute walk from the main waterbus station, providing easy access to Venice's main island and airport (Marco Polo Airport is 9 km away). Nearby dining options include Restaurant Trattoria Pancin just 72 meters away, rated 9/10, and Pizzeria La Taverna at 254 meters. Its location offers a quieter alternative to staying in Venice’s crowded center while remaining well connected by public transport.
Tips
- If you book an attic room, be aware of low ceilings and limited air conditioning efficiency during summer.
- For better comfort, request a ground floor room if available.
- Plan your arrival and departures around the waterbus schedule, as buses are not very frequent and the main pier is a 10-20 minute walk.
- Consider bringing any special toiletries, as some guests found blankets and some room features less comfortable.
- Lastly, take advantage of the free bike rentals to explore Lido and nearby beaches.

Reviews
The price is great.
1. Wi-Fi Issues: There is no Wi-Fi signal in our room. When we reported this, we were given the standard response that a technician would only be available tomorrow, which is quite inconvenient.
2. Lighting Problems: Upon returning to our room, we found that the lights were not working. Again, the response from the staff was simply “sorry,” with no immediate action taken.
3. Poor Quality Blankets: The blankets provided are of very poor quality, resembling those found in a lodge rather than a hotel. They are mismatched in color, adding to the overall unpleasantness.
Additionally, the room size is extremely small and uncomfortable. It also seems that the staff are unwilling to listen to any complaints or feedback. I even felt a sense of discrimination in the way customers were attended to, which is unacceptable.
Based on this experience, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Please consider other options before booking here.
