Positioned a stone's throw from the Lido vaporettpo stop this was the ideal position to see Venice from. involving only a short trip to St Marks.Hotel is a throwback to another age with some truly old fashioned decor but with lots of old fashioned courtesy and service which was much appreciated.We were initially placed in a smallish room but were... more

We traveled to Italy from USA in Aug 2009 and visited Venice after Rome. We were very disappointed with this hotel. It was our mistake to not do our groundwork about the location. The hotel is on the Lido island - not the main Venice area so we spent quite some time taking the vaporetta to and from Venice to... more

The Riviera Hotel has much to recommend it. It's comparatively inexpensive and very well located just across the street from the Lido vaporetto stop, for a quick ride in to Venice. The Hotel itself is fairly average, as is the service, but the breakfast buffé is excellent value. If you turn left out the front door and walk the length... more

Just returned from my second visit to this hotel, once again everything was spot on, and for the price the budget room I got was fantastic, in fact I don't think it was a budget room, the only difference was there was no breakfast included in the rate. Even paying the extra 10 euros for a lovely breakfast was worth... more

I stayed in this hotel for two nights with my significant other. I am not a picky person when it comes to hotels. I like a clean room and a hotel that provides the amenities that are listed by hotwire and the hotel website. For starters the hotel is definitely not for couples wishing to get away for a romantic... more

I stayed here for two night and most say that it was a nice and clean hotel. I totally HATED the shower as it was soooo small that I could barely fit in there. I am 5'2 and weight 115 lbs. I don't see how anyone else could fit there without bumping into walls. Other than that everything was fine.... more

We stayed at Hotel Riviera for a week in July 2009 and really loved the hotel! We paid approximately 60 euros per night for a double room which was excellent value for money. We chose not to pay extra for the lagoon view but you could still see the sea from our room. The rooms are not luxurious but very... more

This hotel was good value for money and positioned overlooking the 'lagoon' and opposite a Vaporetto stop, which made transport into central Venice very easy. However, as we discovered on the last morning, the vaporetto can be quite slow and if you have a train to catch you will need to catch the boat 1.5 - 2hrs beforehand to be... more

Hi, we stayed at the Riviera for two nights, a Friday and Saturday. The room was very nice, quite large (although the bathroom was quite compact), clean and tidy with a comfy bed. The view from the balcony over to Venice was lovely even though we had a small crane right in front of the window. The road is quite... more
