I read quite a few comments here concerning the Hotel Villa Edera, and after staying there three nights, I would like to give my opinion: - Location is ideal: five minute walk to the Lido SME boat station, from where San Marco is a 15 minute ride. Plenty of restaurants also within a ten minute walk, much cheaper and friendlier than in Venice. - The hotel is worth the money. Yes, the rooms and the shower are small, but you aren't here to stay in your room. There are so many things to discover out there. Staff is very kind, the street is calm, the garden nice, and the breakfast very good for Italy. A few tips: - From the airport, buy a return ticket with Alilaguna to get to Lido in one hour. Then buy a pass with the public boat company ACTV to move around Venice and the surrounding islands. - Forget Murano, except for the Museo del Vetro. But don't miss Burano, a really charming and colourful village. - If you want to visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, don't just turn up. You really need to buy a ticket in advance. - A good restaurant in Venice: 6342 A le tole.

I visit Venice often and being Carnevale impossible to stay in Dorsoduro where I usually stay, so opted for the Lido which is a regular 10 min vaporetto ride to the city centre. The Lido is a perfect retreat and where all my Venetian friends retreat to or live, so I just might make this the future place to stay as even the Dorsoduro has become a bit of a circus. The hotel is charming in that authentic Italian way, just minutes away on foot from the ferry stop but in a quite residential location away from the busy (well not so busy compared to the city centre) main street.

If it wasn't for the this I would have given it a ten, but the cleaners who do a very good job left the door to the room open and apparently it happens often so management really need to get on top of it, not that the hotel is insecure, it feels and is very safe but just an annoyance.

Hotel Villa Edera, located on the island of Lido, was a quiet refuge from the busyness of Venice. The accommodation was exceptionally clean and the decor added a cosy welcoming feel. We had a wonderful breakfast every morning. There were many restaurants in the area within walking distance, and it was so easy to take the water buses to any part of the Venice area. We really enjoyed our evening walks in the Lido area after spending busy days in Venice. We would highly recommend staying there.

The hotel location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the vaporetto station at Lido. Main street is 2 minutes walk away and there are bars and restaurants abd a supermarket there. Also very close to the beach. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Rooms are clean, and having the little balcony was an added bonus. Very good price for Lido.

It would have been nice to get warned that the room will be cleaned whilst we are having breakfast. We could have put personal items away.

It is close to the sea bus stop that connects the Lido to Venice. It is close to the main street which is full of restaurants and Gelaterias. It is close to Lido Beach. At the same time, it is located on a quiet and green street. The hotel itself also has a courtyard where breakfast is available. My room was not big, but it was tastefully decorated and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The cooling system worked very well. And Most importantly, the hotel staff are kind, friendly and helpful.

Lovely little hotel, so close to the centre of Lido and the waterbuses. Very comfy big bed and good shower. Our room was smallish but reflected in the price, which was amazing. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied - really excellent. I would return in a heartbeat

Can't think of any negatives. As advertised and better than hoped

Good location. Close to the public transport and to the beach. Tasty breakfast with variety of choice. Lots of restaurants around for dinner . Clean comfortable room. Every day cleaning.

Soundproofing. I could hear noises from people walking in the corridor. Pay attention that water in your fridge is not a complimentary drink …

I have been resting on the Lido for more than a year. I can say that the price offer of the hotel meets all the stated criteria. Breakfast has everything you need. for a complete breakfast. Separately, it can be noted that there was always a delicious, freshly baked Italian pie with berries, cottage cheese, biscuit, various fruits. The toaster was not very convenient and it was problematic to toast the bread. The coffee machine dispensed coffee in small portions, it was impossible to have a full cup at once. Everything else met the basic requirements for breakfast, everything was enough, the workers quickly replenished what they had eaten. The room is small but cozy and quiet. We could sleep with the windows open, with the air conditioner turned off. There was no noise.

Very uncomfortable, old pillows. They are very hard. They feel as if you are sleeping on a stone. I woke up every hour. In the morning, my back and neck hurt. After two days of such torment, I came to buy new pillows for my wife and me in the store.

The hotel has a great atmosphere because it is a bit older but seems well maintained. The breakfast was very good. My gf has gluten intolerance which we communicated at the time of booking. They promptly responded and provided her, every morning, with a variety of glutenfree alternatives. This was much appreciated. The staff was friendly and the room was good. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The bathroom was a bit small but not really a problem for us. I did find it to have a faint smell of old cigarette smoke, but my gf didn't notice it.

Very confort stay!! The lido is very useful place to stay in venezia, because there are many vaporetto lines and can enjoy quiete stay. Facilites are old but very clean. no water issue. Enjoyed bath evey night. All staffs are kind and felt so warm. Break fast was so good. can know the break fast smell in the morning haha. Wanna stay next stay too, thx!!

NA for me!
