the staff

THe old fashioned decoration/ the neighbourhood and the sweet staff.

Good buffet breakfast. Reasonably close to beach. 10 mins walk to public beach, 5 mins walk to private beach (on which apparently the public can sit & swim, despite having private beach huts)

The location is great

Staff in the afternoon was grumpy. Breakfast was poor Beach cabin as advertised with was not available

The Hotel La Meridiana was a treasure hidden in the midst of the Venice/Lido Island area. Upon hearing horror stories from guests that paid twice a much in Venice for a phone-booth sized, filthy room, I knew I had make a great choice with booking.com! La Meridiania had adequate, clean, air-conditioned rooms. The staff was reserved but helpful when approached. It is very quiet and has a quiet, shady, outdoor dining area enclosed by a tall hedge and trees, making it superior to higher priced hotels in high traffic areas. It is 250 meters from a beach and a bus stop. If so inclined, one could take a longer stroll to the busy M. Elisabetha (sp?) street. The breakfast is adequate at best but it was hard finding anywhere on the island with breakfast. On Lepanto street, it is a little out of the way so get a map and enjoy your stay!

I loved the hotel but wish that wireless internet would be made more available to the rooms.

Relaxing in the gardens

No fresh coffe in the morning, and no eggs or fresh fruit.

The location was superb, 5 min walk to beach/bus stop, 15 min to vaporetto station/restaurants. Breakfast was good and could be taken outside in the lovely garden. The style of the hotel is Tyrolean and our top floor room was huge in comparison to others we had stayed at. The ceiling beams added to the the ambience of a very comfortable, clean and quiet hotel. Walking down 3 flights of stairs instead of taking the lift was an enjoyable option. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

The hotel staff was not helpful at all. Had problems in basic english communication as well. When asked for we were guided to a private beach telling us that it was a public one. The beach was locked at 19:00 leaving us stranded there and we had to jump over the top of the fence to get back. Rooms did not have much to offer as well, with fused light bulbs, crappy balconies to non-cooperating staff, the stay was not a pleasant one.

The hotel was conveniently placed and in a pleasant, leafy area ten minutes' walk from the vaporetto.

The male reception staff were not very welcoming; it does not cost much to smile and show some interest in your customers. Responding to enquiries seemed to be an unwelcome chore rather than an essential part of the job. The female staff showed them how it should be done.

The hotel is on Lido, quiet and ease, compare to the main island of Veince. I like the windows of the room. The staff on 28 April was helpful and friendly.

The staff on 27 April afternoon was not so friendly.

The silence.

Это прекрасный отель. Но - не для снобов. Это отель для понимающих, для тех, кто в состоянии оценить патину старины. "Меридиана" построена в 1930 году, дух прошлого века ощутим и в архитектуре, и в интерьерах... Да, давно не ремонтировалась сантехника, не обновлялась мебель, однако всё содержится в идеальном состоянии и, главное, чистоте. К тому же цена, заметьте, весьма не велика:) А завтрак в саду? Да за одно это можно простить некоторые несовершенства. Пляж, разумеется, не частный. Можно выбрать на любой кошелек и даже бесплатный. Но приличный (и чистый) пляж стоит меньше, чем на Лазурном берегу. Превосходный персонал отеля (некоторые говорят по-русски) - не назойливый, но профессиональный, дают четкие рекомендации. И Венеция - совсем рядом, до остановки вапоретто 15 минут ходу. В общем, не отель, а чудо. Но, повторяю, не для снобов и жлобов.
