Venice-Lido Beach Hotels

Historic structure of the glam Venice of years gone by, now presents itself as vintage. Probably for the management the cost for the now essential renovations of the building and the rooms is not sustainable. More suitable for an elderly audience than for young people. The effort to innovate some spaces (gym, swimming pool, outdoors) is commendable. Excellent young restaurant staff, breakfasts, swimming pool. Not so the reception management, with an anachronistic and laughable snobbish attitude, not at all professional.

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.

Assuming that we will return very soon to this ”little” paradise, we will certainly return because the person who embodies Hospitality, Kindness, Professionalism, Exquisiteness, is Mr. Eugenio who, to define Receptionist - Concierge, would be an understatement for Him. A Great Professional, person very Human, Professional who honors his work by transmitting a great positive charge and makes the PANORAMA Hotel great, precisely with the desire to return immediately. Top service. Very clean structure, welcoming in all its parts, priceless to have the possibility of admiring Venice and its entire lagoon from the room. Excellent breakfast, Mr. Eugenio's colleagues are always available, attentive so that nothing is missing from your excellent breakfast. TOP 10 AND PRAISE

The male staff working in morning is super nice . room is bit small for 2 people. Location is excellent, 🏨 is in the middle of the town . It is adjacent to supermarkets and restaurants. But , the air conditioning in my room 27 was not working well during my stay...

The hotel is really quirky with an artistic tiled and colourful exterior and a movie theme (linked to the Venice film festival which is held on the Lido nearby). The staff are really friendly and authentic but not super efficient. We actually find this relaxing, part of the charm preferring this over highly attentive staff. There are two restaurants. The rooftop restaurant has great views of Piazza San Marco just a few miles in the distance. We didn’t eat there preferring the more traditional Italian food in the ground floor restaurant which was very good. The local wine recommendation was also very good. Breakfast was served in a light, airy and colourful breakfast room. I particularly appreciated the freshly squeezed orange juice which for some unfathomable reason is not offered in some more expensive hotels! For me this is a sign of quality. A fantastic selection of fresh fruits and pastries were provided, as well as cooked items - I had the scrambled eggs and bacon (more like pancetta). We really enjoyed the breakfast options but there’s no full English options if that’s your thing. We booked a Spa package which was excellent value. The therapists were very friendly and professional. The 100 minute massage was a highlight for me. My wife very much enjoyed the facial, particularly that the therapist didn’t just disappear when the mask was applied but continued to massage the body. My wife is not a stranger to regular facial and noted that the products were high quality but that there was just as much attention to massaging the whole body rather than just facial massage. Just a point of difference to be aware of if you’re used to more traditional facials. I considered when booking that a 2 hour slot for the Spa facilities may be restrictive but unlike some spas which have outside views this spa was in the basement, very nice, but 2 hours was sufficient. The Spa itself has steam rooms, saunas, a relax room and showers. The Spa is better than many hotel spas I have been in and probably the best iI have experienced in this price range. Highlights for me was the large Jacuzzi which was more like a hydrotherapy massage pool, and a good size sauna with a three stage cold mist shower. Very welcome after the sauna. The Lido itself is quite laid back with amazing beaches. When we visit Venice again we may well stay on the Lido and purchase a weekly ACTV water bus pass. What we now realise is that this would be a great way to see and visit the whole of Venice. In summary, at the price point, the Spa package and hotel exceeded expectations. We’d definitely go back.

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.

This hotel is so charming it is very quiet with clean rooms and very friendly staff. It is located within about a 10 minute walk to the beach and just a 5 minute walk to the boat terminal and about a 7 minute walk to shops and restaurants. I would recommend to anyone wanting a truly charming Italian accommodations.

The hotel is very close to the Lodo port. But since it is too close, the house will shake when the boat hits the levee. Room amenities are a little dated, Even though it's a non-smoking room, I can still smell some smoke. All the staff are very friendly. They can prepare a takeaway breakfast if you leave the hotel before breakfast time.

Very good location hotel, nice classic style hotel. Room was ok for a base for city travels, short walk to transport and facilities. Breakfast was basic continental but good for the price. Staff friendly and always helpful, hotel nice and clean and well kept, would highly recommend for a stay

We stayed at this hotel on the island of Lido while traveling in Venice. The facilities were very clean and the staff were friendly. I was worried about the accessibility because it is not on the main island, but it was not a problem at all. You can take the water bus from the main island in 20 minutes and there are frequent buses, so it is very accessible. Breakfast is served on the ground floor, including bread and cheese and sausage, and there is an Italian restaurant where you can eat. I was very pleased with the overall experience.
