I booked about a week ehead of time and was given "the last room", namely one under the roof with no view and walls so slanted that it was not possible to stand up for a shower. The next day I asked if another room was free and the lady at the reception said: o, yes, we have plenty of... more

First fo all, the hotel breakfast was lovely and the hotel staff were also very helpful. The problem was we booked last minute, whilst we think that the hotel is in a lovely quiet area of Lido, the hotel is very small and very busy. They first gave us a room on the top floor, without a view, as only... more

Though on Lido Island very easy access from/to Venice airport by Alilaguna boats which takes about one hour plus some 10 mins to walk. Easy access to/from downtown Venice by public boats within 5, alternatively some10 mins walking distance, thus more convenient and quiet than any downtown accomodation. Extremely helpful staff. And on top: a super panorama across the lagoon. more

Having been to Venice and the Lido before, we knew exactly what to expect of the location. It was, however, the first trip away for our six month old. We needed quiet relaxing and comfortable accomodation. close enough to the vaporetto but far enough away not get the commuters noise in the morning or the revellers returning in the evening.... more

I have to suggest to stay on Lido not Venice. Its a great little island with its own charm and it has a beach which is great. Its really easy to get to on the watherbus, ferryboat and the island is a very safe and clean. Our stay ( my wife and I ) at Russo Palace Hotel (we spent... more

Our stay here was a fabulous experience, the hotel is lovely overlooking the Lagoon. Very clean and well kept, the maids do an exellent job. Our room was a double superior on the 3rd floor with a lagoon view, it was great to watch the lagoons activity early morning and evening, even the cruise ships entering and leaving Venice. There... more

The first thing I have to say is don't stay in Venice, stay on Lido. Its a great little island with its own charm and it has a beach which is great. Its really easy to get to on the waterbus, which runs 24hours and the island has a very safe suburb feel to it. I would rate this hotel... more

The hotel is based on the Lido island a few minutes walk from the beach and Vaparetto from Venice. Staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. The hotel was a great base to explore the city but escape the crowds and experience a more relaxed environment in the evenings. Rooms were cleaned to a high standard and breakfast was... more

We returned from Venice a week or so ago after staying at the Russo Palace for a week. For us, the Lido was an excellent choice as it was away from the main tourist areas of the City (but only 10 mins from St Marks on one of the free water taxis put on by the hotel every morning). Accomodation... more
