We've just arrived back (last night) from a 4 night stay at the Riviera hotel on the Lido in Venice.....and boy, was it nice to sleep in our super king sized, much softer bed! ;) Having said that, I would recommend this hotel just simply for its superb location. You're away from the madness that is Venice itself but the... More

We came back from Venice yesterday and our hotel choice prooved to be the perfect one! Whenever you travel to Venice, I highly recommend to book the accomodation in Lido, which is just a short vaporetto (boat) trip from Venice. Besides, Lido is cheaper than Venice! In May the Lido was very calm and sunny. Hotel Riviera is just in... More

We decided to stay on the Lido as opposed to Venice proper for our second honeymoon. The photos online wer very helpful and we fell in love with one room in particular. I rang the hotel directly to see if we could get that room and Daniele was simply wonderful! I can't say enough about all the hotel staff, from... More

I liked my stay at Hotel Riviera as i personally felt it was better to stay at Lido island.I think its the only island which has a beach.Esp weekends are nice in Lido.The hotel staff is very nice and the rooms are decent too.I only feel that the curtains should be darker for better sleep.The bar just opposite the hotel...

We stayed at the Hotel Riviera for the first 2 nights of a European vacation. We chose the hotel for its value and reviews we had read online. We were quite pleased. Overall, we had three rooms among our family, and each was quite different. Keep that in mind when you're reading reviews. One might have a shower/tub & a... More

We had a 4 day stay in Italy and I stayed at this hotel based on a friends recommendation. The hotel room was nice and large - much like the American/Australian hotels that you would be used to. Right across the road from the water ferries and a short walk to a small supermarket for your supplies. A good variety... More

This was an excellent hotel and the most reasonable price. In our month long Europe trip, this was by far the best value for our money ... the best splurge for our trip of mostly B&B's and pensions. It is nicely located on Lido right across the street from the water taxi stop. The view from our room with it's... More

I was traveling with a bunch of friends around Italy, we stayed in this hotel July 17-19. Short visit. All of it was great, my friend and I had a big room (for Europe) and it was on the one of the lower floors, maybe 3rd or 4th. Everything was great and the staff was very friendly. The only complaint... More

I stayed here with two friends in October 2010 for three nights. The room was clean, but per usual the bathroom was pretty small. You'll have to take a water taxi over to the hotel, which can be a pain if you have a lot of luggage, but the price makes up for that. Others have said it was expensive,... More
