Hotel Rigel

Wonderful

  : Great staff and lovely breakfast. The location is close to the restaurants, bars, shops and boats.
  : We couldnt get the safe to work in our room

  : During high season that is only one affordable option for solo traveller in Venice. Just match duration of your stay to validity of 7 day vaporetto pass. And for bonus you can walk along endless sand beach on other side of the island or in the pine forest (far end of the island)
  : There are 2 types of single rooms without differentiating in reservation system! I guess only difference in description is bidet, and those rooms reasonably good (301 201 101 for example, high floor is better because sound insulation between floor is weak and if your neighbour above walking on hard heels...) But single rooms must be fairly named "economy single room" and priced lover, these stock is really budget (like budget guest houses in Mestre).Coffee from automatic machine is terrible (hilton style), but you can get normal one from bar machine without extra fee.Note there are no good restaraunts on Lido, even those with 4.5+ ratings are mediocre in food, service and wine list. Only one which I didn't test is restaraunt of Excelciour hotel but at that budget I wish to see 2 michelin stars before I go

  : #1: The location. About 5 min from Lido S.M.E. vaporetto station, and yet located in a quiet side street. Staff were friendly, attentive, and always helpful. Nice breakfast buffet.
  : The room was quite old and the bathroom small and outdated. There was noise from other rooms above and next to us every night. Not terrible, but not great either.

  : The personnel at the hotel is what makes it stand out. Each and every person was friendly, professional, helpful, nice.The hotel itself is in a fantastic location if you are travelling in the summer heat. It's off the main islands, near beach, secluded from high season crowds. Off season, in October, I could have booked something more central actually, for the same price. The waterbus (vaporetto) is expensive at 9'50eur single ride, 45eur for 3 days. It is very much worth it in high season thanks to the mature trees, calm street and proximity of beach. Off season, these are no longer off so much added value.The hotel's facilities are good, they tried to refurbish. It's a comfortable older hotel, with very good breakfast (gluten free options available). I recommend.
  : Off season, due to its location off the main grid, the water travel makes the stay expensive (but well worth it in high season).Otherwise, nothing negative to say - maybe a few details like electric plugs in the rooms - bit dated and a bit unsafe, few and far in between. Water fixture the same - do not flush prior taking a shower as the cold water supply will go towards the toilet tank and your shower will be searing hot. But these are plagues of older buildings, hard to fix, so just be aware of it and it's a non-issue.Overall, our stay was very comfortable, supported by a very friendly staff.

  : Nothing
  : Its like walking into a eastern block hostel. So dated The corridors are what you would expect to find in a cheap care home Our room was advertised as a superior double It was not even on the level of a bad travel lodge

  : - good breakfast - friendly staff- good location to vaporetto station
  : - a bit run down, in need of renovations - were asked to move room twice - no iron- night staff was smoking outside the hotel. Room was therefore smelly and loud at night
