Hotel Rigel  

Location is good, walking distance from the vaporato station. Good value for money. Breakfast was good

I thought that it was better than this. In my opinion it should be a 2 stars hotel. My room was small. Seems very old and needs renovation. Internet should be free

The staff are very kind.

Frank and neil from the black country uk lovely hotel on the lido near to the ferry for san marco square ,there is also a direct ferry from the airport to here.The hotel seems to run very well with excellent curtios staff,our room was fairly large with good decor and the obligatory lcd tv which catered for most western european languages if thats your thing on holiday.There were a few local bars and shops just a few minuets walk away and if you didnt know a ten minuet walk will take you to the other side of the lido where there are sandy beaches for sunbathers and sun worshipers .Yes we would certainly use this hotel again if we were in the area but beware transport costs are high for touristsie 25 euros return to the airport and 13 euros to cross the water to san marco square both trips by public transport, the locals pay a lot less I would have thought the eu would have outlawed such an unfair practise oh and dont forget the tourist tax payable at your hotel approx 2.20 euros per night, happy holidays frank.

Hotel Rigel was close to the Lido waterbus terminal for Linea / route 1, which leads via San Marco along the Grand Canal to the railway station and offers an excellent service. The hotel is in a quiet side-street and is elegantly, tastefully furnished. The staff are friendly and helpful (it helps if you speak Italian, but it's not essential, as reception staff can speak reasonable English and some French), and the rooms are comfortable and clean. Definitely recommended on grounds of cost, location and value for money.

The breakfast offered a limited range of options which never varied during our 5-night stay. Rolls were suspiciously hard, suggesting they were fro the day before, and the same three types of jam were offered every day (if you don't like plum, apricot or cherry jam, tough). Butter was in plentiful supply, but no low-fat alternative. Clear improvements could be made here for little extra cost.

The location was great as it is near the beach and a short trip from the main island in Venise, I like the fact that we could park our car in the hotal ground and that it was near public transport and surrounded by restaurants.

The room were not really clean, my wife had to clean the bathroom floor as it smelt urine, we had a hotel staff walk into our room at 7.30 in the morning without knocking on our door and while we were still in bed. The room were not sound proof as we could hear conversaations in the next room and the beds were really hard.

The location could not be faulted. The cleaning staff were very nice and talkative .

The desk staff seemed to busy to help you even though they were doing nothing. In our daughters room the bathroom had a distinct smell of urine. The breakfast staff were unpolite.

Quite and friendly

Excellent location, air conditioned rooms, good sized rooms, internet room, good breakfast. Would recommend the hotel to others.

Room was clean and a good size - would benefit from decoration sometime soon and new pictures. English channels on the tv (not just news channels) would be great.

Location - lovely tree lined street away from the hustle and bustle, but easy to get to the waterbus stop. Pretty clean.

The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The front desk attendent was not very friendly - seemed rushed and busy.

I liked very much the impecable cleanliness of the rooms, interior decorations with Murano glass and general relaxed and tranquil atmosphere of the hotel. The location was convenient and the price was a good value. Coffee served at breakfast was excellent as well as the pastry.

Breakfast selections were monotonous and after a while, boring. More diversity will improve the impression, especially with seasonal fresh fruit selection.

no English language channel on TV (even thought they had hundreds of channels)

Good locagtion : 5-7 min walk from vaporette station, 10-15 min walk to Lido beach, 3 min walk to main street with restaurants & shops. Our room was on 3rd floor, with small balcony, spacious enough for 2 adults + 1 child (1 double bed + 1 single bed). Very reasonable price (€ 110 per room per night including buffet breakfast) during summer holiday season.

Liked the outside garden and the close proximity to the shops, bars and restaurants at the Lido. The beach was only a few minutes walk away and breakfast was OK too.

Our double room and bathroom were very small and we wish we had booked a larger room.
