The hotel is well located and just a few meters away from the water bus station and some hundred meters from the beach. It is in a calm and peaceful area of venice (Lido Island). Rooms were perfectly clean and staff was extraordinary friendly. However, if you are taller than an average italian you'll find yourself quite uncomfortable trying to... More

Receptionist slammed the phone down on me and refused to provide any information about the hotel...I decided to book this hotel. Before going ahead with the booking, I called the hotel directly to find out about transport links between the airport and the hotel. The hotel receptionist was extremely rude and advised me that he was not an information desk... More

Perfect location, only a few hundred yards from the water bus station and visible from the station so you can save a fortune in taxi fares. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Although the furnishings are mainly old this gives the hotel character. The staff were all helpful and gave advice re; places to see, directions etc This is a... More

We stayed for 3 nights at the Hotel Helvetia on Lido Island in Venice, Italy. Staff was wonderful! Very clean, great breakfast service. No problem to leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out. Felt safe and secure at this location. Extremely easy access to the vaporetto stop and nearby restaurants. More

The hotel is well positioned only yards from the boat stop which goes to Venice from the Lido. We booked 'deposit not refundable' and got what must have been the smallest room in the hotel. It would have been better if we had had a whole room instead of what appeared to be half. The double bed was pushed up... More

We were travelling around Italy for 3 weeks with another couple. I found this hotel just on the internet. We were very pleased with our stay in this lovely hotel for three nights. The front desk staff were very knowledgable and very helpful. We found the rooms to be very comfortable clean and nicely furnished. The breakfasts every morning were... More
