Extremely well recommended, the food, people, area and everything in this hotel was fab.

Took my girlfriend to Venice for a holiday and stayed on the lido, waterbus to the city center was so easy to do and very convenient if not a little expensive....but well worth it.....the Lido was fantastic, beach was not too far away, think the only thing i would have wanted would have been a pool area but i cant gripe!!

We came back engaged having done it on the beach late one night!!

Well recommended..we went 1st week of October and nothing was closed or shutting down!!!

Very nice art nouveau hotel with amazingly good staff. We stayed in a suite which was tastefully decorated with Victorian furniture and all modern amenities such as satellite TVs, telephone facilities, well stocked mini bar, and much more. The suite had two bathrooms which were clean fully equipped with good toiletries. The best part of the hotel was the buffet breakfast which was grand and was served in romantic winter garden. Very quiet and relaxing spa center. We stayed there for 4 days and one day we were forced to stay in the hotel as it was raining all day, me and my husband enjoyed the thai massage, it was so relaxing and revitalizing. The hotel is very near to the water taxi stand and Lido beach. I would suggest that people who come to holiday in Venice better stay in Lido than in main Venice city and recommend this hotel.

Stayed June 2011 .The Hotel looks older than it is due to its very unusual architecture (I believe it is 100 yrs old or thereabouts).Located in the centre of Venice Lido with pax/ car ferry access from venice.No pooI (I did not see one..?.) but beach 10 min walk,venice passenger ferry 5 mins walk.

pros : Located in cental position for restaurants/shops/ferries.I found it quiet with little road noise.Small outdoor car park(maybe10-15 cars max) which we used. Very interesting looking building,quite friendly/helpful staff,reasonable rates (June),nice change from staying in Venice with all the hustle/bustle.Beaches good but busy (walk/drive to island tips for less crowds.).Restaurant(steakhouse) with alfresco dining.Wifi.Air conditioning worked well and was definitely needed.

cons : As others have mentioned the Photos look better than the actual building which is much smaller in reality.We had a room at the top of the building resembling an attic,well worn,very simple/basic but reasonably clean.Outside facing lift was seriously hot inside(needs air conditioning).Very pleasant outdoor patio which for some reason they don't like you taking your breakfast to??,didn't stop us using it mind you......

I would definitely stay again but pay extra for a better room ( if they have better ?) next time.

As first time visitors to this hotel we were very impressed. There is a feeling of real warmth and welcome as you enter this hotel. The hotel and room was clean and the staff is friendly and very helpful. It is a good location, situated only 3 minutes walking distance to the water taxi to Venice and the airport, and walking around the area is really lovely. The buffet breakfast was excellent, varied and plentiful.
