A nice traditional hotel located in a quiet area on Venice Lido. Rooms vary in size, some are excellent, others a bit cramped. Excellent breakfast.
Venice Lido is an excellent place to stay if you are visiting Venice. The hotels tend to be better and much cheaper than in Venice itself. Plus the Lido is a very pleasant seaside area with good facilities.

The hotel is an updated Venetian small hotel. It is decorated with much attention to detail and is quite an experience for a North American traveller. Very well located. And staff were courteous and helpful, other than restaurant staff, who I found unpleasant.

Consistently good
I have stayed at this hotel several times and am confident that it will provide a pleasant stay each and every time.
It does everything well and the staff are all helpful and friendly at all times.
Breakfast is good, I’d prefer a little bit more space so that the buffet could be less crammed together but other than that, no gripes at all.

I loved the location as it was walking distance to most of Lido's restaurants and attractions and easily got to on foot being a 3 minute stroll from the ferry stop. The breakfast was substantial and had something to cater for everyone.
I would highly recommend for those not wanting to come home to the hustle and bustle of Venice at the end of a busy touristy day, leaving it all behind and heading for the Lido and being able to walk on the beach is very special.

Excellent Hotel
I had an excellent stay. Everyone was friendly. It was a good-sized room and was cleaned every day. There was a small kettle and a small fridge (not stocked).
Yes, it was on the Lido and 20 minutes from San Marco, but the room price was very fair. The breakfast was excellent too.
I would be happy to stay again.

Great base for sightseeing in Venice and combining beach holiday on the Lido. Great value. Also the night receptionist on check out on the morning of Sunday 14th April was extremely helpful and obliging. Only sorry we didnt have any cssh to tip him only card! The decor is a bit clasic for some but has character. Would stay again.

Fantastic
We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Rigel in Venice on the Lido. The rooms were comfortable and pleasant, the breakfast was great, and the location was perfect for exploring both the Lido and Venice itself.
However, the real highlight of our stay was the incredible staff, particularly Marco M. Every evening, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always with a smile and a warm, friendly manner. Our son instantly bonded with him, and it was heartwarming to see their friendship grow over the three nights we stayed.
A truly memorable experience—thank you to team and especially Marco M for making our trip so special!

I liked everything but the hotel is fairly dated and could use some upgrading. The friendly staff made up for it however. The breakfast buffet was extraordinary except the coffee which was poor. quality.
