Hotel Rio is located in a small square with many dining options. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We only paid for the English Breakfast one day but it had great options of bacon rashers, sausages, hash brown patties and scrambled eggs. The location is extremely convenient as it is only a two minute walk from the Vaporetto station. This gave us convenient access to the Train Station, other parts of Venice, and the islands of Burano and Murano. The square outside the hotel is quite lively but everything closes down precisely at midnight and it was quiet until 8:00 AM. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved exploring the streets of Venice. We would definitely recommend Hotel Rio to anyone visiting Venice. Grazie Mille!

Perfect location. It's really convenient and close to all the most important places to visit. Comfortable room with a lot of space even for a single room. Only drawback is that the air conditioning didn't work properly in my room on the second floor and it was really hot inside the room. Other than that, I'd give it a 10 and would definitely stay there again.

Best location in a small bustling public square just 3mins walk from the main square (windows also open and overlook the small public square which is amazing). The room was small (to be expected in Europe) but very clean, modern and comfortable and it was a good layout for the size. Just be mindful there is no lift so be prepared to walk your luggage up at least one level/flight of stairs.

Convenient location

We had the triple room. The hotel was easy to find and close to the water taxi. The single fold out bed was good enough, but not good for those who may have back issues or are older. The air conditioning worked well, and they serve American breakfast (eggs/bacon, etc). If you want to be near tourist things and crowds, this is an excellent spot to stay! Just a few minutes walk to St. Mark’s.

Positive experience at Rio Hotel. Very convenient location to transportation near San Zaccaria station and very central location close by to San Marco. Average cleanliness. Very Small space. Room 206 has a view of the square in front , noise from restaurants below can be heard late (didn’t bother us).

You can’t have a poorly located hotel in Venice. Everything is a walkable distance, but if you are looking for a quiet place, this location wasn’t bad. The staff was friendly and nice. Venice is a pretty dirty city/island. It floods each day with the rising tides. Cool experience and decent food. Definitely check out the other islands if you have seen all there is to see in Venice- Murano and Burano. You can see both in the same day. If I ever returned to Venice, I wouldn’t mind staying at this hotel again.

We stayed at Rio Hotel for several nights, and our stay was very pleasant. The hotel staff are friendly, and the staff member who checked us in also helped take one of the suitcases up to our room. There is no elevator, so keep in mind that you will have to transport everything you have up at least one flight of stairs. That said, having a third story view on the little square outside the hotel was great. Our 18-month daughter loved to people watch from the window as we prepared for the day. The rooms were updated and clean. And one the best conveniences of this hotel is its proximity to San Marco. During a chilly January week, this hotel was warm, and aside from the lack of an elevator (which is understandable given the age of the buildings) we had a wonderful stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rio Hotel! The location is ideal for getting around central Venice, just a few minutes' walk from St. Mark's Square, and there are a lot of dining and shopping options right outside the hotel. The room was small but more than enough for my needs, and it was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and recommend this hotel to others!
