Stayed one night at Hotel Cristallo. Our plane was delayed at Marco Polo airport so arrived after midnight via Alilagunda ferry boat. Staff were on duty at reception and we were given room keys. Room rather old-fashioned but clean and with modern bathroom. For us the most important thing was that it was quiet so we could get a good... more

My husband and I have been to Venice before and loved it. We decided to take our youngest daughter who is 11 and so had to do the trip on a budget as there were three of us to pay for. We decided on this hotel as it has the best of both worlds: Venice only 10/15 mins by water... more

We stayed at the Hotel Cristallo at the tail end of a long vacation of sightseeing and lots of activity. The Hotel Cristallo was a gem of a find in the heart of the Lido, an easy 3 blocks' walk from the vaporetto stop. We found it a charming respite from the crowds in Venice, yet easily accessible for visiting... more

Our stay at Hotel Cristallo was excellent. Our room was exceptional and the staff was extremely helpful. more

If you mind your budget more than frills, amenities and nice room decoration, Cristallo is the way to go. Located in the very center of Lido, the hotel can be easily reached by foot from the vaporetto pier, the staff is extremely nice (ask them for a room with a windowed bathroom) and, most important since it's Venice, the price... more

The Hotel is charming with unpretentious but very comfortable rooms with a very nice view. The included breakfast is good with a selection of hams and salamis and cereal and good pastry. The place is on the Lido, so you will get to enjoy the best of both worlds: the dynamic life of Venice and the tranquility of the Lido...... more

I've stayed at many hotels where the picture on the website were either photo shopped or 20 years old, but the Cristallo is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures. Its easy to find straight off the water taxi, and is an easy walk even with luggage. It is very convenient to places to eat, shop... more

We stayed at Hotel Cristallo 29 June - 6 July 2008 in Room 23 which fronted the main street of Gran Viale S. M. Elisabetta. This 2 star hotel offers value for the money, 100 Euro/night, and is well located. Let me get the negative out of the way first. A/C in Europe is more a state of mind than... more

This hotel was wonderful. The hotel is on Lido, which is away from the crowds of Venice... but it is still quick and easy to get to the main places in Venice using the boat/bus. The hotel staff was wonderful and the room was big and bright. Breakfast was served in the morning. We stayed for three nights and paid... more
