Venice Lido hotel rooms a the Independent

"Great room with modernised decor- much better than we thought it would be. In the perfect location, just minutes away from San Marco Square and only a 7 min walk to Rialto bridge. Despite being right in the centre of the action, no street noise could be heard at all! The breakfast was good, mostly continental, but you could order freshly cooked eggs and bacon. The room had a fridge which was an added bonus. I couldn’t find this information before I went, but the room did have a hairdryer. Pack either a plug adaptor or USB C leads fo charging phones. They don’t have the old type USB sockets. We had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again! "

"They were all awesome! I will be coming back again! "

"Check in was easy. The reception is open 24/7. The room was clean and big for two people. It was quiet even though it’s super close to the train station. The breakfast buffet was good. I would definitely recommend this place as it’s 3-4 minute walk from the train station to the hotel. "

"An amazing hotel. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and we were given a free upgrade when we arrived! Location is great, a quieter area of Venice but easy to get to anywhere. Would highly recommend. "

"Fabulous, helpful staff. Spotless and updated room with elegant linens. Room service was superb. Excellent recommendations for meals water taxis and events in town."

"Timeless charm, furnished Venetian style, historic interior, in the heart of the wonderful Rialto market area, famous fish market, lots of local cafes nearby, hotel hours 24/7 access, concierge hospitality, efficient service, great breakfast, spacious room, clean, everything you need basically. Stairs throughout all floors. Comfortable seating area, outside the hotel rooms, good WiFi reception, enjoyed my stay here. Right next to the regular boat stop, cross the Rialto bridge to get the water taxi alliguna though and it’s 18 euro one way, very good boat service . "

"My favorite hotel. Best location right on a canal. Watch gondolas all day. Top friendly 5 star staff. Great room. Marble bathroom with a real door is completely separate from bedroom. We loved the location in San Marco and only 5 minute walk to Rialto.Old world Venice charm. Modern and spotless."

"The room was in very good condition and felt 100% Venetian. The bed was comfortable, linens better than acceptable, bathroom amenities on par with a four-star, and very reasonable prices in the minibar. Our view from the Rialto view room was the reason we sat looking out the window while we settled in for bed, instead of actually sitting in the bed. The only problem we encountered was the towel warmer. Since it was winter the air conditioning was disabled. The towel warmer would not turn off. The room would get very warm because of this and the heat coming up from lower rooms. We opened the window, which was great until about 6 AM, when the cargo boats unload at the dock right outside your window. Please keep in mind: we are American, so we are very accustomed to sleeping in AC. In closing, it’s a great hotel in a great location, in Venice. Would definitely stay again, even in the winter. "

"So happy we chose this hotel! Venice is a maze and it's easy to get lost so it was wonderful to be in a hotel that was easy to find, right off San Marco Square. Very clean, a helpful front desk, and an awesome free breakfast every day...highly recommend."
