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.

Brilliant stay on the Lido

A really lovely hotel down a residential road but only moments away from the main Lido strip with shops, restaurants and ice cream shops. The room was ready two hours early which was such a relief after travelling from Lake Garda. Very nice clean room with good air conditioning. Four beds neatly made looking pristine. Very clean bathroom with lots of towels and toiletries for all four of us. A bonus was a fridge in the room, not a bar but empty which meant we could store our water in it which was brilliant. Breakfast was a very big spread of fresh croissants, selection of cakes, biscuits, lots of fruit, cheese, ham plus cooked egg and sausage. Overall there was plenty of choice for us and our two kids. Hot chocolate machine was delicious. We would come back to this hotel.

I loved the location as it was walking distance to most of Lido's restaurants and attractions and easily got to on foot being a 3 minute stroll from the ferry stop. The breakfast was substantial and had something to cater for everyone. I would highly recommend for those not wanting to come home to the hustle and bustle of Venice at the end of a busy touristy day, leaving it all behind and heading for the Lido and being able to walk on the beach is very special.

So we actually didn't end up staying here! We arrived to Lido on the vaporetto, dragged our bags on the 10-minute walk to the hotel, and arrived, to be told our room was given to a tour group! When we asked when they knew this, they said the night before! When we then asked why they didn't call, text, or email last night or even this morning to talk to us, they said they wanted to tell us in person! They had arranged with Hotel Belvedere to take us for the 3 nights, and get this, that hotel was literally across the street from the Vaporetto stop! At least they called a taxi at their expense, and took us and our bags to the Belvedere, which we would HIGHLY recommend! The Hotel Belvedere is fully updated, very modern rooms and bathrooms, included plentiful and fresh breakfast, very nice staff, and again, right across from the main vaporetto stop to get you to Venice in minutes! When you book your stay in Lido, book at the Hotel Belvedere!

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.

The staff are all friendly and helpful, everything you want from a hotel is done to a good standard. No complaints. Location is perfect, around the corner from the Main Street yet peaceful and quiet. Breakfast is nice and everything is clean and tidy. Every hotel has a snagging list, you always see the odd bit of damage or wear and tear but cleanliness is more important to me than a scuffed architrave. Check in time was 2pm so an hour earlier than advertised which is good. This is my 2nd stay here and I would return again.

The best place to stay while visiting Venice

Hotel Rigel on the LIDO island is the absolute best place to stay while visiting Venice. The island is quant and delightful and has a full sandy beach for swimming. It is an easy water taxi to the main island. Hotel Rigel is only a few minutes walk from the water taxi and their lobby, the outdoor gardens, and the morning breakfast are such fabulous. Breakfast was amazing each morning and the service on point.

The hotel's front desk is open 24 hours per day (convenient for late arrival and early departure), it has an excellent breakfast buffet, and it has some affordable and nicely sized single rooms, which are perfect for a solo traveler (or conference attendee).

Nice place to stay - especially for the price.

Best thing about this place: location! As long as you're happy with the boat rides over to Venice to sightsee (which are very refreshing, easier than a tour trip and travel cards don't break the bank if you're under 29) then I would wholeheartedly recommend staying on Lido di Venezia, and Hotel Rigel is only a five minute walk from the main part. The hotel itself has quite a lot of charm, but is a little 'no frills'. No iron or kettle in the room was a little annoying, but we didn't lose any sleep over it... I dislike having two single beds pushed together to act as 'double', but they were comfy enough and I did get good sleep. One bad point regarding the beds is that they were screwed into the wall, and where people had shifted they had made some quite bad holes in it! Great shower - which is always a really important thing for me - and the rest of the bathroom was really clean and functional. No lock on the door, which didn't bother us, but it's worth knowing. The staff were fabulous - they were very welcoming and nice to have a quick chat to. Breakfast was a bit lacking - the lack of variety didn't bother me too much, but it wasn't the best quality. We wouldn't have eaten it had we not already paid for it with the room booking - there's some better places very nearby. Air conditioning in the room was very very loud, and not always the most effective - but we managed to sleep through it.

An honest review

Okay, the hotel is dated - let’s get that out the way - but the staff are so friendly and helpful it’s unreal. Continental buffet is plentiful and there are beautiful restaurants round about. For the price of our stay we were delighted - if you want fancy, pay the extra €500 and go else where. If you want a comfortable base with good eateries round about and very friendly staff that is a short walk from the water bus stops, you’d be hard pushed to beat the Rigel. We stayed in February for 5 nights, it was perishing in Venice at the time. Hotel was a welcome break from the punishing wind and snow. Got a 3 day vaporetto pass for €40 each and toured all the islands and landmarks! I recommend the Rigel as a comfortable base for exploring Venice.

Great place to stay near Venice

I stayed at the Hotel Rigel for nine nights while attending the Venice Carnevale - it was a great decision. The hotel is very nice, the rate was very reasonable, easy access to Venice, and the staff was great to deal with. I had a smaller room but it was still a decent size. The water bus stop to Venice, Burano, and the airport is a short walk (5 minutes). You can be in San Marco within 20 minutes. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, grocery stores (Conad and Coop) very close by. Venice is a madhouse during Carnevale but Lido was nice, quiet, and very laid back.

Quiet location, Charming garden

This is the second time I have stayed at the Hotel Rigel while on Lido. While other hotels may have larger rooms and more amenities (ex. in room safe), I prefer the vintage charm of this smaller (42 rooms) hotel tucked away from the main street. It is on a quiet, residential street, though just a block from shops and restaurants. You won't see the sign for the hotel until you are facing the front door, but it is easy to locate as you walk down the street. Just follow the scent of blooming jasmine. The outdoor garden is a relaxing place to start your day with a self serve breakfast (baked goods, yogurt, fresh fruit, cold meats and hard boiled eggs, pineapple or orange juice, tea or coffee.) You'll find a cat or two sunbathing there after breakfast. Although we did not have time to rent bicycles from the hotel, one morning a caretaker was carefully tuning up the bikes and checking the tires, so it appears they are well maintained. The wifi was excellent and the water in the shower was consistently hot, which you won't always find in Italy.

Nice place

The front desk was really nice! Stephano was so helpful and took his job very seriously. I enjoyed staying here. It's about a seven minute walk to the boat station. I agree that the breakfast is very nice by Italian standards. Would be considered a "Continental" elsewhere. Please note that there is no air conditioning in May! If there is a hot day, tough luck. Towels are changed only every three days. It would be nice if it were every other day. Tv worked fine. CNN seemed to be the only channel in English, but who comes to Venice to watch TV?

So glad I chose Hotel Rigel

Opted to stay on Lido to get best of both worlds - a quieter location with easy access to Venice and chose Hotel Rigel for its good reviews and mainly for its location - i.e. 5 minutes walk vaporetto stop. Arrived in the rain and was thankful to have a warm room (single 207) carpeted and with decent lighting, a comfy bed and a modern wonderfully efficient en suite shower room. All reception staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient and happy to help with any queries - they were excellent. A generous continental breakfast was served which included cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cakes, boiled eggs, meats and choice of cheeses plus selection of rolls and croisants and choice of teas and coffees. The obliging waiter was happy to make cappacinos for those who wanted them. The lift worked every time, there was a bar and cafe service. Had weather been better, I would have used the latter as there is attractive garden terrace partially covered and part open. Very close to main shopping street and others so a good variety of cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. Direct walk to nearest public beach took me I think about 20 minutes but I was in no hurry. Loved staying in Lido - early morning view over the lagoon (saw rainbow and snow on Dolomites) then sunset and lights at night on return

We were at the 3rd floor in front with balcony. We could not Sleep well because it was too noisy outside. We didn't choose too stay the door open because it was too warm in the room. The air conditioning wasn't be available.

Nice hotel in a very quiet area

We stayed at Rigel hotel for three nights and really enjoyed it. It's only 5 minutes away form the pier, where you can take one of the many water buses to Venice, and is located on the very peaceful island of Lido. The staff are friendly enough and the room we were staying at was stylish and very clean. Free wifi and excellent breakfast. We would recommend, especially if you are all middle-aged adults and have come on a short holiday.

Awesome hotel in downtown Lido

Our first impression of the hotel, when we got to our room, was that the room was very small. Even though the room itself a small there was a large closet and the bathroom was brand-new, just recently renovated. We also had a window that opened up to the street with a very small balcony. The hotel had a nice big lobby area with a bar where you could sit and relax after a long day. It had an outdoor garden area where we ate breakfast. The breakfast was huge, which included cereal, yogurt, ham, salami, buns, cheese, bread, Nutella, fruit, water, juice and of course coffee. Daniel, who basically worked alone in the mornings at the breakfasts, was very helpful and polite. He brought coffee for people and cleaned tables after they left. We were very happy with his service and thought he did a great job. We had to leave the key at the front desk whenever we left the hotel. We were ok with that as there was a lesser chance of us losing it. Celina was working the desk's most days and she was very pleasant. We loved the location of the hotel. It was on the island of Lido, which was far away from the crowds of Venice. However, it's also a very short walk to the water bus terminal and then a short 5-10 minutes water bus ride to the San Marco Square in Venice. The hotel is also located within walking distance to a one of two public beaches on the island and very close to the main street in Lido with lots of restaurants, bars and gelato!!

Pleasant enough hotel but needs some updating.

The location is great, in a quiet street very close to the Vaporetto station and all the amenities like restaurants, etc. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. I stayed in a single room which was OK but not great in terms of cleanliness, comfort, etc. I asked to move as the first room was right next to the staircase and lifts, which I feared would be noisy. I was given another room, which though smaller had a recently-fitted bathroom. Unfortunately I was disturbed by other guests, especially when entering or leaving their rooms - it's hard to shut the doors without banging them. The carpets were not great: thin and not particularly clean, but the bathroom was clean and the bedlinen fine. The aircon works but sounds like it's on its last legs. Breakfast was OK but the same every day. It can be hard to get coffee as the staff seem very busy. Overall, I would say this is a reasonable budget hotel.

Nice little hotel

This is a small hotel with friendly staff that is near to the water bus stop and the public beach. A number of restaurants and bars are only a short walk away. Continental breakfast is ample with plenty to choose from and there is a nice garden area if you want to eat outside. On a negative point the rooms are a little small for 4 people but we managed ok for 4 nights.

Great place to stay

Loved the location - great to stay on the lido. Just a short, enjoyable and easy boat trip to the hustle of tourist venice. The hotel staff very friendly and helpful, especially the reception team (the lady on reception was great in sorting out our rooms on arrival). Would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel, it is close to everything you want-restaurants, shops and sandy beach and of course the boats to venice. It's a tranquil relaxing and friendly area, that should be a must for anyone going to Venice.

Ok for a short stay

Hotel was in a very good location down a quiet road but close to restaurants. Room clean but basic although housekeeping was not great as we ran out of loo roll and beds not made every day. The hotel is very tired looking and needs a bit of a refresh both inside and out, but is was nice to be able to have breakfast in the garden. Ok for a short break but wouldn't want to stay for too long.

The Rigel and Lido were pleasant surprises

The Rigel was five minutes walk from the various ferries that could deliver you to St. Mark's Square, Murano, Burano, Marco Polo airport, and anywhere else you wished to go in Venice. Also, walking the opposite direction from the ferries, you were ten minutes from a glorious beach with soft, white sand that ran for kilometres along the Adriatic coast (unlike many beaches in Europe that have rocks and pebbles as their main feature). This beachfront was truly one of the delightful surprises of our month of travels in Italy. After a long day of bartering for products in Venice, it was great to come back to the Lido, the Rigel, and the beach. If you've never explored this area of Venice, plan on it for your next visit. Although it's a touristy area, you can get pretty good room rates compared to staying near St. Mark's and the Doge's Palace.

Great location

Double economy room is too small for 2 people so take it only if you are OK with tight spaces and small beds (we decided to upgrade to a standard double room which is normal sized). Interior could use a refresh. That said everything else is very good - notably helpful staff, great location and beautiful garden to have breakfast in.

Great hotel for staying in Lido

excellent location and customer service.The rep was very knowledgeable and provided accurate info regarding treviso airport. Once you get down on train station in venice, take the waterbus number 5.1 from the station to the lido stop. From there, it is 5 minutes walk. use your google maps on the phone to get there.

Very nice experience.

At one point in time, I wondered if I really wanted to book a hotel on Lido, since it is about a 35-40 minute vaporetto trip to the main part of Venice. After getting to the hotel, I was so glad that I did. I love the Island of Lido. The hotel was nice and clean and the staff was amazing. They answered all of my many questions, and even made a telephone call to the office of our 'excursion'. They also offered to fix us a 'to go' breakfast, since we would be gone very, very early in the mornings. I was quite impressed. Lido was so nice and quiet that we were able to sleep with our balcony doors open, and we never heard any noise. I'm not sure it would have been that quiet in the main part of Venice. If I were to go back, I would book with Hotel Rigel again.
