We stayed at Hotel Cristallo 29 June - 6 July 2008 in Room 23 which fronted the main street of Gran Viale S. M. Elisabetta. This 2 star hotel offers value for the money, 100 Euro/night, and is well located. Let me get the negative out of the way first. A/C in Europe is more a state of mind than... more

This hotel was wonderful. The hotel is on Lido, which is away from the crowds of Venice... but it is still quick and easy to get to the main places in Venice using the boat/bus. The hotel staff was wonderful and the room was big and bright. Breakfast was served in the morning. We stayed for three nights and paid... more

With only a few steps from water bus service, the hotel was ideally located on the Lido for our short stay in Venice. The air-conditioned rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Recommended. more

Just arrived home after a wonderful 4 day stay in Venice and knowing we we're coming back each day to the lovely Hotel Cristallo made it all that better. Welcoming staff, comfortable room and Bathroom and a cute little lift, loved it. more

Stayed for a night last summer (7/07) based on the previous travellers' reviews. Most of them were pretty much on the mark: not fancy, NO frills, barebones furnishing. But, the location worked very well for us - we had a rental car that we were hesitant to leave on the mainland and we wanted to stay away from the chaos... more
