Hotel Rigel

We loved our stay in this retro hotel. It's clean, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast is nice and the staff lovely. Lido is just a short ride with vaporetto away from the bustling city of Venice. We will stay here once we return to this pearl of the Adriatic.

An old and a bit outdated hotel, but the rooms are clean and the staff is nice. My room was very small and basically only had a bed, a wardrobe and a bathroom. No table apart from a mini shelf where the electric kettle was (but no power outlet, and there wasn't any free outlets anywhere else either, I had to unplug the lamp to charge my phone). There was one wooden chair but I had to put the bed spread and my clothes there, so there wasn't anywhere to sit but on the bed. But I was traveling solo so it was ok, and I anyway think the room was meant only for one person. The breakfast buffet is good. It has all the basics. They could upgrade the coffee machine though. There is only one and it's suuuper slow, so you have to queue quite a while for your coffee. The hotel is located a short walk from the Lido harbor, and it's a 15 minute ride to the Venice main island side.

Wonderful traditional Italian hotel. We booked four nights at the beginning of a three week tour of northern Italy. The hotel was perfect for us as it is close to the main street but quiet and residential. It has a quaint garden to enjoy breakfast or a drink. The staff could not have been more pleasant or helpful. Breakfast was good and a good reason to get up for. As ever, in Italy, rooms are on the smaller size, but well equipped. We will book again for next year.
