A nice traditional hotel located in a quiet area on Venice Lido. Rooms vary in size, some are excellent, others a bit cramped. Excellent breakfast. Venice Lido is an excellent place to stay if you are visiting Venice. The hotels tend to be better and much cheaper than in Venice itself. Plus the Lido is a very pleasant seaside area with good facilities.

Absolutely loved this hotel, so quint & old fashioned, a great change from modern chains. Situated in a perfect location, 5 min walk from the ferry terminal, bars & restaurants & 15 mins ferry ride from Venice centre. Staff were so accommodating & breakfast was excellent.

Consistently good

I have stayed at this hotel several times and am confident that it will provide a pleasant stay each and every time. It does everything well and the staff are all helpful and friendly at all times. Breakfast is good, I’d prefer a little bit more space so that the buffet could be less crammed together but other than that, no gripes at all.

Excellent Hotel

I had an excellent stay. Everyone was friendly. It was a good-sized room and was cleaned every day. There was a small kettle and a small fridge (not stocked). Yes, it was on the Lido and 20 minutes from San Marco, but the room price was very fair. The breakfast was excellent too. I would be happy to stay again.

I stayed at the hotel Rigel for a total of 3 nights. Very comfortable and clean. Perfect for as I was out and about touring and site seeing during the day. The room was alway clean I felt safe. Breakfast was between 7:30am-10am and had a good continental style selection. Certainly enough to get you started for the day. Very easy to walk to from the main water bus station and restaurants. Decor is dated and could do with updating but honestly, other then that can’t really fault the service provided.

This hotel is a very short walk from the boat stop (about 7-8 minutes) Lido can be reached directly from the airport. Firstly I loved Lido and the vibe, nice restaurants, houses, clean streets. The hotel was easy to find. I was lucky as my room was ready early and I was allowed to check in early which was appreciated. My room was for a single person and it was very cosy and nice. There was a small balcony, a single bed, kettle, fridge, table and chair and of course the usual things like hairdryer and amenities. Staff was professional and polite both in the Reception and during breakfast in the restaurant area. It's a very quiet area. Unfortunately I didn't have time to explore Lido too much but during the walks to the boat stop and one afternoon walk I could see that it's very nice. It's about 15 minutes boat ride from Venice - Venice is visible from the boat stop. After check out I could leave my stuff in the hotel and there is also a bathroom to use if needed after check out. The breakfast was nice and there was something for all taste. I really liked the decoration of the breakfast room. The only thing I would mention as something that could be improved maybe is the water pressure in the shower. It was fine but could have been stronger. Overall I loved my stay here and I would definitely return.

Lido is beautiful. Very good breakfast buffet, and pleasant hotel clerks . However, it is hard to take your luggage to the hotel doors due to much construction on the street. Also… beware that this is a VERY old Italian style hotel. It is quite hot in the rooms, even in winter. Beds very hard and small… better to buy the biggest room with a large blecony of you can afford it. Was asked to also pay the same tax twice, even though I had already paid. I explained and the clerk insisted I must pay again. I was VERY annoyed, but just paid the extra $5 euro again she would stop bothering me. I would not stay at this hotel again. Yes to Lido, no to this hotel.

Fantastic

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Rigel in Venice on the Lido. The rooms were comfortable and pleasant, the breakfast was great, and the location was perfect for exploring both the Lido and Venice itself. However, the real highlight of our stay was the incredible staff, particularly Marco M. Every evening, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always with a smile and a warm, friendly manner. Our son instantly bonded with him, and it was heartwarming to see their friendship grow over the three nights we stayed. A truly memorable experience—thank you to team and especially Marco M for making our trip so special!
