I booked the hotel and stayed there for a week with my partner. We did read the reviews before booking which gave a decent rating. Yes the breakfast was varied and enjoyable, the reception staff very helpful and the superior room large. However, the first thing that annoyed me was that I put my clothes in the drawers and pulled them out to wear later, only to find dust all over them. There was dust all over the room desks, tv and in the cupboards. Being a nurse, this did disgust me as 98% of dust is actually made up of skin cells. The cleaner probably hoovered the floor once, but did not wash the floor. The 3 chairs in the room were made out of wicker and badly needed replacing; bits of wood were sticking out and kept catching our clothes as we walked past - we ended up moving them to the corner of the room and never used them. The hair dryer was broken, the decor was jaded with yellowed fixings that were once white and some parts of the walls had peeling paper and plaster. There was a little dog that kept going on all the chairs in the reception area - the hotel allows pets, which we did not realise at the time of booking as not having any pets we never thought to enquire. Not a problem for me, but my partner started sneezing, had itchy eyes and a runny nose whenever he was at the hotel. As for the bed, I did email a month in advance and requested a double and not 2 single beds. We only had one very flat pillow each and the 'double' bed was actually two single beds. We ended up being woken in the night when turning over and almost falling down the gap when the beds moved apart! There is no central heating but a kind of heater/air conditioner that only went to 22 degrees. I don't think it worked well as the room was chilly all the time. The hotel faces a road and the noise of traffic is fairly constant. Additionally, some kind of buiding work was being carried out opposite the hotel, so having a peaceful lie in was impossible due to the sound of drilling and hammering. For 80 euros a night I think it was overpriced for what we ended up getting.
I give it 5 out of 10 as the staff were lovely and the location was seconds walk to the beach and pine forest.

the hotel was in a lovely location close to beach and the bus was at your door .were you could go into lido town in 15 mins .there you could get the boat to Venice 61 or 52 would take you 44 or 50 mins.the hotel staff were great the rooms were cleaned ever day and breakfast was lovely.would go back.

Fantastic, affordable place to stay in Venice with the incredible view and ‘safe haven place’ to rest!
I was there during the volcano eruption in 2010/april , the ladies keeping the hotel were more then supportive and helpful. I have spent there fantastic and relaxing time apart from travel panic that happened in Europe.
The location is perfect even if you have to travel 30 min (with the vaporetto and a bus), but so much relaxing from the crowds in Venice.

Completely agree with the review posted below apart from one thing: our room was pretty huge by Venice standards (I think we had a junior suite though), and looked like it had been recently refurbished. The en-suite WAS small, however, with a shower and no bath, but was perfect for our 3 night stay and was extremely clean and modern. Overall a lovely little hotel, efficiently run with very modern comfortable rooms (Tv, mini bar, seating area and plenty of wardrobe space), and certainly for the money it represented excellent value.
As noted before, it is at the "wrong" end of Lido (in terms of getting the ferry to the island), but this does mean it's right next to a beach and local swimming pool. There is a bus practically on the doorstep of the hotel (about 1 euro) so getting to the ferry "docks" (it drops you right by them) wasn't a problem - although it was a good 20 minutes away from the main area of Lido, where you catch the water taxis to venice. This was fine during the day but at night when we were tired and just wanted to get to bed, it could get tiresome. It was certainly fine for the 3 nights we spent there, but if we were to visit Venice again we might try to stay nearer the ferry port.
I would definitely stay on Lido again, however, rather than mainland venice. We thought part of the magic of venice was our ritual ferry ride to and from the Lido every day. Coming into venice by water with the sun on your back and the wind in your hair was something I'll never forget, as the views of venice this way are spectacular.
We also stumbled upon Venice (completely by accident) during the festival of the redentore (3rd saturday night/sunday morning in July). This also happened to be my partners birthday, and we have wonderful memories of the street party atmosphere (it's traditional to buy a few beers and then find a spot near the water front to sit and just admire the celebrations) with the seemingly endless fireworks, while enviously looking upon the 100's of boat parties unfolding on the water...
We had dinner by the Grand Canal that night, and while this was nice, it certainly wasn't spectacular, and definitely didn't represent good value for money (45 euros for 1 portion of fish n' chips!). We had a similar experience of the canal during the day about 100 yards from our evening dinner, where we sat on the canal side steps right by the rialto bridge eating a huge slice of pizza from one of the many takeaway stalls, all for about 5 euros!
In any case, Venice is an absolutely magical place that's exactly like all the picture perfect postcards you see. Can't wait to return
