We had a fantastic time, the hotel was lovely & the staff amazing and helpful. I slipped in the shower though which has left me in a lot of pain. I recommend a sign for warning to warm people. Once 4 people shower, the bathroom becomes incredibly slippery.

Dear Sylvia, we are very sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction, our priority is always to make our guest's stay a pleasant experience. We have two private parking which go to the first who book them, but anywhere in Lido there are a lot of free parkings in every road. It's also unsual to hear complaints about the breakfast, it's one ouf our best traits, we serve every morning fresh vegetables, homemade cereal bread and low sugar jams. We hope we can change your mind if you'll ever return at our hotel.

Oasis on Lido di Venezia
Hotel Rivamare is hands down the most pleasant experience I have ever had staying with a hotel! The staff were thoughtful, accommodating and resourceful. The property is pleasant, refined yet not opulent, and well appointed by the beach. For those who enjoy a quiet, refreshing stay in a calm yet well-appointed part of Venice, Hotel Rivamare will not disappoint!

Dear Guest, thank you for your positive feedback! And thank you for the notes of what you didn't like. We are building the new elevator, because we just got the permission form the city council. It will be ready soon. The hotel consist of only 2 floors above ground floor, so this is the maximum amount of stairs our clients have to climb to reach their rooms. As for the lack of plugs, we are sorry you didn't ask us for a complimentary multiplug that are available at the reception. We hope to welcome you again in the next future!

Charming - Old Style Hotel
We found our room with two tiny beds uncomfortable so be had Hotels.com move us across the street. We should have just checked with hotel management as they would have moved us to a better room. The hotel is charming in the lobby and breakfast area. The location is by quiet and beautiful beachs. If you like charm and not modern this would be a great place to stay.

Good location, but really 2 star hotel
I stayed here for a business conference in Lido. My wife and daughter accompanied me. The hotel is right next to the beach (just across the st) and so is very convenient. It is not, however, near a great deal of night life, shops or restaurants (Lido is a quiet Island). My wife commented that it was not a great place to stay - lacked all the attractions of Italian cities. Venice and Murano are near by - but they are really day trips, as it takes 30+min to get from the hotel to the boat station to those islands. Not a quick "run into town". It is rated 3 starts because they offer "spa" services, such as reiki, yoga, etc. Their literature even states that they obtained a 3 star rating because of this. I have no idea where the "spa" is other than perhaps in a back room or somewhere else in Lido. The hotel is a basic 2 star European hotel. The staff is friendly, but it run old school. Your receipt will be hand written in a little book and just list the total you will need. Not all credit cards are taken. The room is decent and clean, but not particularly comfortable. Breakfast is basic. No other amenities are available. Overall I thought it was a nice 2 start hotel, but priced like a 3 star in a resort down, which lowered my rating.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide
I'm very torn about this hotel. I'll give it an overall neutral rating, I guess, but the good things were great and the bad things were really annoying. Figure out what's important to you and decide based on that. The following things were GREAT: quality of breakfast buffet (really amazing), friendliness of morning staff (owner and family?), location (across the street from beach, Lido), free wifi, beach towels. On the other hand, our room wasn't ready as requested (I even called from the states about it - 4 single beds in "family room") when we checked in and despite the promise to fix it, it still wasn't ready by the time we were back, tired and exhausted, in the evening. I ended up having to beg the not very helpful/friendly night clerk for extra sheets so we could separate the beds ourselves. However, we were offered a different room the next day by the much friendlier day staff, but didn't want to move at that point. Never got the 4th blanket we asked for. Room was very small for 4 people, but that's Europe for you. I was happy to be allowed 4 in a room. The overall condition of the hotel is not quite as good as I expected. I believe it to be clean, but there are cracks in walls and other signs of wear. It was nice to come "home" to Lido, a quieter beach community with more "natives" and less tourists, but getting there takes both boat and bus. Overall, the price and value probably match, but it could have been better if the staff just had been more reliably helpful.

Always great.
We've stayed here on several occasions and everytime it gets better. The fact that it is a few yardsfrom the beach and Adriatic while within easy walking distance of suburban shops, restaurants and the vaporetto station for the short distance to the main Venetian attractions and islands, is ideal. The location has everything within a genuinely Italian area! The hotel is peaceful, quiet with first class family management and staff - nothing is too much trouble for them. Rooms are clean and well serviced. Breakfasts consist of extensive cold buffets with homemade bread and cakes. We love the Rivamare and look forward to our next visit.

Helpful staff, but tired facilities.
Didn't match the photographs and website. It's across the road and behind another hotel from the beach. We stayed there for two separate nights. The first night we had a room with a rickety bunk bed for our two children. The second night we had a better, bigger room with two separate beds and a refurbished bathroom. It is much more run down than information suppplied suggests.The buffet breakfast was good and the owners were very helpful, especially in relation to our early arrival due to transport arrangements.

Hotel Rivamare - very, very close to the beach
Me and my boyfriend visited Venice for a city break. We found that Rivamare was the perfect combination of beach and city. The hotel is situated right on Lido beach (in October, beach was virtually empty but it was still warm enough to swim and sunbathe) in a relatively quiet residential neighbourhood. A 20 minute walk on the beach or through town brings you right by the waterbuses with various lines running into central Venice frequently. You can also take the local bus which takes about 5 mins but we really enjoyed the long walks on the beach! Incredibly easy to get to and from the airport (Marco Polo) with a speedboat service stopping on Lido. The room was clean and, by Italian standards, served a great breakfast which actually filled you up for the day (I was expecting a croissant and a cup of coffee so was surprised to see the all-you-can-eat buffet of bread, yoghurt, cereals, boilt eggs, juice, coffee, tea, pasties, sweets etc). Staff were very friendly, positive and helpful. Only drawback were the beds that weren't that comfortable (much too hard) In sum, highly recommended!

Only cheap hotel neat a public beach?
Spent a long time looking for hotels and decided on this one based on value and facilities and discovered that it was 100m from one of only 2 public beaches on Lido. You are not allowed to sunbathe sit or lie on any other beaches! Great continetal breakfast. Small terrace area next to the road, room was big enough and the bathrom was large and clean. Would highly recomend this hotel, even the staff were friendly Just remember you are staying here because it is cheap so don't expect the Danelie!

Pleasant and good value
Rivamare is a small, quiet hotel very close to some much grander establishments. Our room was clean, with a good bathroom and a balcony looking out over the Venice Tennis Club – very pleasant. The beach is a short walk away. A (slow) computer in the lobby offers internet at Euros 2.50 for 30 minutes – good luck finding the ‘@’ key!

We have stayed here a total of
We have stayed here a total of six weeks since Easter 2009 - this speaks volumes for one of the very best holiday hotels we have experienced. The hotel is family-owned and run by the nicest of people. At the time of the plane groundings, they were exceptionally good to us. Friendliness, cleanliness and a first class cold buffet breakfast stand out. The hotel is situated on the Venice Lido, is less busy and more "local" than the "mainland", like living among real Italians. St Mark's (Venice's hub) is about 15 minutes away by boat. Also, immediately opposite the hotel is the beach which has the usual facilities and is a great attraction to Italian and tourists generally. We have no hesitation in recommending this excellent hotel for both short breaks and longer holidays.

Good stay on a budget
We were traveling on a budget and staying on the main island in Venice was out of the question. We were able to navigate back and forth from Rivamare to the main attractions fairly easily. If you are staying for a very short time, you may want to stay closer. From leaving the hotel to getting to St. Mark's Square, it probably took about 45 minutes, including time waiting for a bus on Lido and the water but from Lido to the main island. It met our purposes. Rooms were very basic but clean. Walls were a little thin.
