NH Venezia Rio Novo

"The hotel is modern and in a great location down some side streets but close enough to the centre. Pros - AC works well, good amenities like hairdryer, robe, slippers etc. Cons - the shower is not that great. It's not powerful and a couple of times I used it, it wasn't very hot. The breakfast could be better. I was expecting better after reading the reviews before I came. The best thing about it was the juicer machine where you can make your own fresh juices."

"We really loved our stay at the Avani Rio Novo hotel in Venice for a week. First of all the location was amazing, right in the center of Venice , within walking distance to all important historical landmarks , next to the canals, lovely narrow streets and scenic bridges and with many restaurants, bars and cafes in the surrounding area. The hotel is modern , clean and the rooms very pleasant , quiet and comfortable. Everyday our room was being cleaned and towels replaced which was nice. The air conditioning worked really well keeping the room cool as the weather was particularly hot in the end of July. We really enjoyed the happy hour evenings organized three days in a row with complimentary food and a bar with drinks , beautiful music and a lovely atmosphere. The staff was friendly , helpful , very polite and professional. We would definitely return to this hotel and would like to recommend it if you’re planning a vacation in Venice or even for a business or other type of trip if you’d like to be in a fantastic location, it is great hotel for a reasonable price."

"Fairly short walk from the station - much quieter area of venice with lovely open spaces. I did feel slightly nervous in some areas on the way but not the hotel’s fault! The hotel was my dream hotel - i personally love a hotel that makes you feel rich without the price, and for venice island in summer, the price was such a great value for money. There were free tea and coffee, a wide range of toiletries, a dressing gown and slippers (my personal selling point) as well as a ridiculously large bed which was so comfy, a lovely little clock and light, desk, Tv, I could literally go on. The staff at the desk were lovely and chatty, and were some of the most personable people we met on our 4 country/5 city trip. We paid for the breakfast and it was the best breakfast again that we had all trip with a fantastic variety, and my partner and i agreed the best quality food. The front garden was lovely, and their happy hour (though quite surprisingly!) was a great offering. They even had a gym! I genuinely wanted to spend as much time in the hotel as I could… moreso than actual venice..?!!!! Great end to the trip. I didn’t even mention how we got to venice early, and were able to check in 3 hours early - life saver!!!!!!!! Also the lighting was amazing. Only minor gripe was the aircon wasn’t as cold as we’d like it, but it was only minor!"
