Best Hotels in Venice-Lido, Italy

It was a nice experience overall. There is a €3.60 city tax per person per night that's added on and can only be paid in cash which was inconvenient. There is tea/coffee provided in the room, however, they also charge to refill them if you use any. Breakfast is an extra €5 per person and breakfast lasts less than 3 hours (7am-9:45am) which is a bit inconvenient if you want to sleep in or if you have to get up early. The desk staff is moderately friendly. When we first arrived they weren't too friendly but the evening and check out attendants were nicer. The room is pretty small and really only enough room to eat around the perimeter of the bed. The bathroom is decently sized, however, the shower didn't have a door so water pools out onto the floor unless you huddle close to the shower head and even then... The TV is very small and not easily seen if you are vision impaired. My biggest complaint, however, is how hard the bed was. There's little to no cushion on the mattress. I woke up both mornings I was there and had back and hip pain (I'm 28 yrs old in relatively good physical condition). It is close to sleeping on the floor. There was a closet with a nice amount of space to put our things. There is also am elevator to access the floors which was convenient on days that we walked a ton. The lobby is nice and clean and has some seating areas. We did not explore the bar or breakfast areas. The hotel itself is located near the water bus station for easy access to Venice. It is also on a strip of shops and restaurants. Granted most things on the island of Lido do close early and a lot of them are temporarily closed but still marked as open on Google maps. Plan accordingly and call places ahead of time. I've included pictures of the bathroom which was overall nice, however, I didn't take pictures of the bedroom as it was small and hard to get a good angle.

The hotel is perfectly placed if you want the beach as it is opposite a fabulous public/free beach but with the option to purchase umbrellas, food, drinks etc if you want. You have a view of the beach/sea at breakfast. Also the roof terrace has sea views one way and sunset views the other which is fab! Claudio who serves at the roof terrace is an absolute joy. Reception is 24hours and staff were friendly and helpful. It's a 20 minute walk to the waterbus stop which takes you to Venice, Murano etc but the walk to the stop is alongside the sea or the Venice lagoon so is pretty special. We bought a weekly ticket for the waterbus to Venice etc at 65€ each which we thought worked out to be good value. There is a fabulous pool area nearby and 'pay for' beach which is pricey but we thought pretty good value at 12€ each for a sunbed without an umbrella at the pool or 48€ for two with padded sunbed, umbrella and table. There's a nice snack bar so you can stay all day. If you want the 'best of both worlds' Lido is ideal. We loved the calm after a busy morning exploring and sightseeing and an afternoon on the beach or by the pool was perfect for us. At first I was disappointed there were shutters at the windows and no view but it got very hot so I was glad of the air con and shutters on returning from sightseeing. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. If you want sea views pay the extra. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet with lots of choice. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Tips: sit on a bench and watch the sun set over Venice/Venice lagoon. Visit Claudio on the roof terrace and enjoy a drink (and snacks) with a view.

This hotel was absolutely stunning in every way. The rooms have a moorish theme that feels a bit outdated, but it’s spacious and comfortable. Roberta, the duty manager was an amazing human. She showed us all the places we needed to see in Venice and mapped it out for us. All the staff went above and beyond (minus the fact that my sunglasses went missing from my room unexplained, that was disappointing). We arrived a day after the Venice Film Festival has finished so it was very quiet. We had the beach to ourselves, the sea was clean and amazingly refreshing with gorgeous sunrise views. The Blue Bar had food available all day and their Tiramisu was to die for. The pool area was clean and nice but it closed early (at 6pm I believe). The breakfast buffet was divine and the hotel was grand and beautiful. Note that the hotel offers complimentary shuttles to Venice and from Venice, however not if you have luggage. Only if you’re doing a day trip to the city. If you are taking luggage to head to the train station or airport, you need to book a private water taxi (approx €90). Worth it though…only about 20 mins to the train station and the hotel will arrange it for you. You can also take public ferries but they are slower and packed with people.

We stayed at the Hotel Panorama for a long weekend and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The taxi transport from the airport was seamless even though we were a bit worried about having to get the boat to the Lido very late in the evening. The hotel was very welcoming and our room was lovely, large and very comfortable with a sea view across the bay. Breakfast was plentiful and very relaxed and the weather was warm enough to have coffee on the terrace which was a welcome bonus. The hotel reception team arranged a free trip to Murano which was facinating and they also organised a private water taxi tour around Venice which was well worth it. They are so friendly & knowledgeable. The hotel was also within waking distance to some lovely restaurants and we walked to the beaches which took about 10 minutes and was worth it. The hotel is also directly opposite the water bus station so it made it so easy for getting about. It was nice to come back to a quieter area in the evening with the most amazing views. All in all a very lovely weekend. Thankyou!

Having stayed at the Villa Pannonia Hotel Venice Lido before Covid and had a very warm welcome with excellent service to returning to this very special hotel this June 2023 and to receive again the special welcome back service was more than special . I have travelled and stayed in many hotels in Europe and Far Away countries as part of my job but the Villa Pannonia has this friendly energy . So thank you Villa Pannonia your staff are as special as your unique hotel.

I was satisfied with the staff, the size and cleanliness of the room, and the variety of breakfast. The only downsides are that the temperature of the shower is a little low and the air volume of the dryer is weak.

Very quiet hotel

The hotel is well located at Lido, comfortable for everything, quiet and in a beautiful villa. Unfortunately, the positive part of the review ends here. Staff only present in the morning, then always desert reception, you enter with a code. The room wouldn't be bad, but the cleaning is not much, wearing bedrooms ever changed in 5 days, water axles broken and never adjusted (notified, but it seems to be necessary for hydraulic...), rather uncomfortable fabric towels. No bar. But what is not at the height of a 3-star breakfast is: served on the terrace, even under rain, no buffet, consists of a little pan and a little briochine, overfloated and heated and rubber, butter, marmelades, Then we saw the cereals served near the table, and when we asked, we answered that they had asked them in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were in the table, and that they were The first thing is that the introduction of the new CAP is a very good one, and I think that with little spending it could be improved so much. (For example, for breakfast at least a fresh bread from the baker!).

Excellent price-quality ratio, very convenient location on Lido - close to boats and the beach, nice (albeit old-fashioned) and comfortable rooms in a stylish building, good service and good breakfast by Italian standards - in a cafe downstairs (you can take a sandwich, a desert, a cup of coffee and water). On a negative side - there was some smoking smell in the corridors, and also some unpleasant pipe smell in the bathroom on our first day, which later disappeared. The AC is old - we stayed in winter so did not need it. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

Mabapa delivered on what you’re paying for. Decent rooms and bathrooms. Well located near the waterfront with a 10 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to main waterbus station. The staff were friendly when we arrived but got less friendly as time went on. Breakfast was okay. All in all a good place to stay if you want to explore both Venice and what the Lido has to offer.
