Hotel Helvetia - Venedik

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. personnel where kind and friendly, room was clean and tidy each day. Perhaps free WIFI would have been a good option to have.

I was very pleased with the hotel - it's affordable, yet only a few (15?) min away by public transport (boat) from San Marco square. I arrived soaked through by the rain, and although the official check-in time is 1pm, the receptionist let me and my daughter in straightaway, more than an hour early. The hotel is 50m from the boat stop, in a neat and […] pleasant neighbourhood with a nice mixture of hotels, shops and residential housing. The room was small, but comfortable, and we were pleased to make use of the postcards on the desk. There is no refrigerator in the room (not an issue in my book), and the loo is quite close to the wall - anyone with a particularly large girth would struggle, but the vast majority of guests would be OK.

Great location for waterbuses to airport & Venice. A good budget hotel in a safe neighbourhood. Could not access wifi, unfortunately. Room was very small, but clean. They have a private beach, but didn't have time to check it out. Friendly English-speaking staff. Recommend to those on a budget, who have lots of luggage, because it's impossible to take […] heavy luggage to hotels in centre of Venice, due to no taxis and cobbled streets Devamı

Hotel Helvetia is very conveniently placed for the water bus into Venice. A bus ticket is a must, we paid E33 for 3 days and used it lots. The first Venice stop is 15mins away. The hotel is only yards from the water bus stop and near restaurants and shops. It is very quiet on the Lido with very llittle traffic. The hotel is clean and comfortable but […] our room was more like half a room. It had the feel that it had been cut in half. We booked 'deposit not refundable' and we didn't have a safe and had the smallest of shower rooms. The double bed was comfy but pushed up against the wall which made it difficult getting in and out. The breakfast was plentiful but only continental. If you want eggs or yogurt you have to pay a surcharge! Because of the convenience and cleanliness I would stay there again but certainly book a better room. Devamı

We found the staff at Hotel Helvetia to be exceptional. They always took time to answer our questions with a friendly response. Loved the location away from Venice, but only 10-15 minutes to San Marco square by vaporetto. Nice outdoor terrace to enjoy the provided breakfast. Would stay here again as the price and conditions were better than anything […] we could find in Venice itself. Devamı

Quality hotel right off of the main street. Two minute walk to waterbus and St. Mark's Square. Lido is a beautiful island. Room was larger than expected and the bathroom was adequate. Beds were a bit hard and a queen is really two full beds put together. Overall experience is 3.5 out of 5. We would stay again.

OK, first the bad thing. The room was extremely tiny. But then I heard that it was the norm when staying in Venice. One guest that we spoke to said there were other hotels that charged more (up to double the rate) and the rooms were even smaller. The hotel was nice, clean and the bed was comfortable. And lets face it, you only go to the hotel to sleep. […] Staff were super and very friendly. The hotel was very nice and pleasant. Very, very conveniently located, about a minutes walk to the water bus. I'm glad we chose the Lido instead of Venice itself. The area was picturesque with lots of shops and restaurants. The entire experience was very pleasant. The water bus was no big deal and we enjoyed the boating aspect of it. The big beach was only 5 to 10 minutes walking distance. Breakfast was included and was in a very pleasant courtyard, which made the morning coffee a pleasant affair. I would definately stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Venice. Devamı

1. old and big key! you have to deliver key any time you leave hotel. 2. complicated breakfast menu! 3. wrong location of hotel in map. 4. good place in Lido. 5. nice officers/workers. 6. good air-conditioning. 7. near swimming beach.

A very conveniently located hotel on the Lido - only 2 mins walk from the Vaparetto stops, which take you straight onto the Grand Canal (15-20mins). Note however that it does take 45 mins approx to get to the train station from here. Hotel is located on the main shopping street on the Lido, so ideal for shopping, restaurants etc. It is a relatively […] quiet location despite its proximity. The whole area and hotel had a really nice calm holiday feel. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is adequate. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The reception staff provided maps of the Venice area and even wrote a step by step travel itinery so that we wouldn't miss our early morning train. I would definately stay here again. Devamı

Where do I start with this hotel we took a 2 week vacation to Italy and France and stayed in a total of 6 hotels this one by far stands out as the worst hotel of the 6. The room was so small that your have to be careful walking around in the room just because of the limited space otherwise you will bump into something with your knees. The included continental […] breakfast did not include eggs or yogurt and there is a lady standing with a clip board that tells you that as you are standing at the buffet picking up food. There was a 15 year old girl that picked up a hard boiled egg and the rude lady with the clip board said you know that is not included she that will cost you extra "What is your room number?"Just like that. we just saw that as we walked in and just said no thank you and had breakfast elsewhere. The location is not bad, when you get to the island of Lido however I have stayed closer to the main land before and it was much easier to get to the main areas of attraction. definitely would NOT recommend this hotel especially for someone visiting venice for the first time it would ruin your whole experience. Devamı

The hotel is very well situated only 2 mins walk from the vaparetto terminus and on the main avenue from the terminus to the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful and the general facilities were of a reasonable standard. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel as the breakfast room and garden area (with plastic seating) wasn't overly inviting and there […] are a number of nice cafes nearby where you can sit and enjoy the world go by. Our double room was clean and had all the essentials but was EXTREMELY cramped - only one person could get dressed at a time and the bed was against a wall so getting in and out was problematic... The ensuite bathroom had a good shower but you has to sidle up to the toilet and sit sideways since there was only about 10" from the toilet to the wall! The overriding memory of staying at the Helvitica was that it was manageable for a couple of days and was very convenient location-wise but due to the room size I couldn't really recommend it for a longer stay. Finally, if you're looking for somewhere to eat the restaurant on the waterfront to the right of the vaparetto terminal as you come off the boat - I think its called the Laguna is worth a trip and much better than the selection along the main avenue. It also has a spectacular view of Venice especially at sunset - go there early for a drink and enjoy the sun going down on Venice. Devamı

The Hotel Helvetia in conveniently located, close to the water bus stop, but get a room away from the street. The adjacent all-night, open-air bars can make sleep difficult. The rooms are fine and the staff are attentive, but the extra charge for the eggs and the yogurt on the breakfast buffet is a bit tacky.

Hotel was conveniently located from the water-bus stop on Lido. Just a couple of minutes walk. Breakfast was adequate. Really nice garden. Staff was friendly and courteous. I was a bit taken aback when they asked for our passports, but found out later that that was standard practice in Italy. Room was nice and spacious. Bathroom was equally good (new […] fixtures, tiles, etc.). A/C kept the room comfortable. Devamı

The hotel location is great if you want to be Lido Island. Lido is quite pleasant itself, but the canals of Venice are a transit boat away. Those boats are a bit pricier and longer than we anticipated. Still not a deal breaker. The hotel itself is pleasant and our rooms were simple but adequate for the price. Hotel staff seemed moody and indifferent […] but overall still an okay deal for the price. Devamı

If you want to get away from the touristy feel of Venice and into a more real neighborhood, I would recommend Hotel Helvestia. Within a few minutes' walk from the vaporetto station, and on the main drag of the Lido, it is nonetheless quiet and charming, with the added attraction of a courtyard garden where you can eat your breakfast or read in peace. […] The lobby and parlor are also charming spaces with funky midcentury modern armchairs. You can walk to the Lido beach, eat in the numerous restaurants near the hotel, or stroll in the neighborhood. My one quibble is that, for a fairly expensive room, they really should not have charged extra for eggs or yogurt for the breakfast! We were able to obtain a family room with 4 beds to save money but it was still on the expensive side. However, the charm and ambience really made us feel that we got our money's worth. Devamı

First night did not go to sleep ,,the window opend to the street, Next night got another room but we had to spend 1/2 day asking for it. Front desk also the MGR. are NOT nice and it is hard for them to smile.

We enjoyed our stay very, very much. We were travelling with our daughter and a 2 year old and a 4 3/4 year old grandchildren. The accommodations were most comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. We would definitely like to return sometime. The transportation to the hotel was efficient and the neighbourhood and eating establishments were also […] enjoyable. I appreciated the quick responses to my emails concerning transport from the airport and other travel tips. An excellent start to our Italian vacation! Devamı

Very nice hotel. Convenient location. Very near to Vaporetto stop. Nice restaurants nearby and 5 minute walk to the beach. Would have been happier if there were free wi-fi.

we stayed in a family room for 4 people and it is an excellent hotel. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Good continental breakfast.. Ideally located within walking distance to Lido water bus terminal . St marco square is only 10 minutes and Venice train station is 40 minutes by waterbus. Overall very satisfied

We had a delightful stay at Hotel Helvetia. The staff was courteous and helpful, the breakfast was the best we had during our entire stay in Italy, and the location was perfect. I will definitely recommend it to others.

Nice hotel on Lido across from St.Marks by boat about 30 min.More quiet area,5 min. to beach and Alilaguna.Good Restaurants.Hotel was great.Alilaguna 15 Euro to St.Marks or Airport.

We stayed in the hotel with our 3 years old daughters. The room and the breakfast were really nice. Staffs were quite friendly. Highly recommended.

The hotel is right off the water bus stop on Lido. Easy to find and get to with luggage. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to help us as we had lost luggage and they spent the entire day tracking it down for us! Lido is a nice alternative to Venice it is quiet and clean. You can easy get to Venice on the water bus. This hotel is […] the best bet for the price. Comfortable and you get a great breakfast! There are plenty of restaurants and shopping within a short walk and right out the front door. Devamı

Other than this hotel being the farthest out on the waterbus line, it was terrific. On the way back to to the train station at the end of our stay, we took a route with fewer stops and saved about 20 minutes off our travel time. The hotel is very close to the water bus terminals, and there is a nice cafe across the street. The service was outstanding […] with one exception; at breakfast we were told that if we had eggs or yogurt we'd have to pay, and one particular employee kept watching us as though he thought we'd "steal" what was supposed to be a complimentary breakfast. Other than this one incident, our stay was terrific. I just wish we'd planned to stay longer, as I could have spent hours just wandering around the island, and there aren't really any sights there...although they are only a water taxi away. Devamı

Location is excellent. Hotel should be rated as two star, not three star. The rooms that our couple friends and we had were two small to qualify as a three star. Literature indicated that the hotel was air conditioned. It may have had air conditioning but it was not turned on. The staff told us that the government would not let them turn it on until […] June 1. The truth is that other hotels nearby had air conditioning that was operating. We sufferred greatly by not having air conditioning turned on. The charge for a continental breakfast was excessive. Devamı

Fab hotel location is great, all the pleasures of venice across the water and turn right out of hotel five minutes walk and you are on a great beech.Plenty of nice caffe's and bar's on the lido.

I had a good stay at this hotel. It was just a two-minute walk from the ferries off of the Lido, and the rooms were not bad for the price. The wireless internet was very conveniently priced and reliable so I could email home from my room or the courtyard. The continental breakfast was pretty good and I enjoyed the service. Overall, I will most likely […] return to this hotel if I return to Venezia. Devamı

Just a short walk fromt he Vaperetto station on Venice's Lido, this location provided a welcome relief to the crowds on the main islands. The Vaporetto service (using line 1) is extremely efficient. Being on the Lido also makes the beach easily accessible. Local cafes close by - look for those used by the locals which are much cheaper - and a supermarket […] across the street. Would definitely use this hotel again. Devamı

The area of the hotel is EXCELLENT on a nice walking strip near public transit waterway. Many restaurants, diners, ice cream shops on the strip. Near beach. Curtious, English-speaking front counter staff. Although the Hotel is old, it is well maintained and clean.

This is a lovely little hotel far away from the touristy crowd in Venice centre. Yet only 10 minutes by Vaporetto. The main stop on the Lido for these is just a 2 minute walk away from the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was small but that is what we chose. On holiday we just need a place to rest our head. We did not make use […] of the breakfast offered. There are so many little places and also excellent restaurants all around the hotel. Turning left out of the front door there was a small road side cafe where we had lovely rolls and coffee for just Euro 7.00 for both of us every morning. Overall it is a hotel to be strongly recommended for those who don’t want to spend a fortune and yet want comfort. The restaurants around were great and not expensive. Just avoid “Ristorante Gran Viale” (half a block down turning right out of the hotel). They are rip-off artists offering meals at one price and then charging almost double under the pretext that they did not understand you and you not them. A guy looking almost exactly lik Dani de Vito is especially very good at that! Devamı

This was a great place to stay. We had three nights in Venice. Having bought a multi-day pass to the water-bus service getting to Lido at the end of the day was no hassle. Our room was a top floor room with a bit of a view - which made it very enjoyable. Could have seemed a little pokey if you didn't have the view. Rooms were clean and staff very f […] riendly. Devamı

This hotel is just a few yards from the vaporetti stops for Venice, and only 10 minutes walk from the beach. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so it's pretty much an ideal location. The hotel is old-fashioned - and there's nothing wrong with that; it has modern amenities, but a lot more character than all too many soulless modern places. It delivers […] solidly on that old-fashioned three star experience - good customer service, smart enough but not pretentious. Just what we wanted. Devamı

The hotel is very well situated at the top of the main street, close to the Lido vaporetto stop for trips to Venice and about 7 minutes' walk to the beach. Inside, the interior is pleasing, nicely furnished, traditional, and it has the added bonus of a courtyard garden at the back. The staff were very gracious and helpful. My room was quiet and meticulously […] cleaned every day. I cannot fault this hotel, as it enabled me to have a very pleasant stay at a reasonable price. Devamı

On the whole, this hotel was good value for the price. We booked a 'standard' room thinking this would be of a 'standard' size - it turned out to be very small. We opened the door and literally fell on the bed and there was limited space to manouver around it. We jokingly referred to the room as the 'broom cupboard'. We asked at reception for a different […] room but they advised that we had only paid for a standard room and larger rooms would be more expensive. The bathroom was of a reasonable size though. The hotels proximity to the bus-stop/pontoon is brilliant - its only a 1 minute walk. It may be worth noting that you will be required to take a water-bus to get to the main parts of Venice - this can be expensive if you dont buy a travel card. We enjoyed this part of the trip but it may not suit everyone. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Our only disappointment was the size of the bedroom. Devamı

The hotel was in a good location, accessible to nice restaurants, shops, and the beach. It is also very near the water taxi. The room is small but efficiently done. The hotel staff was helpful. WARNING: DO NOT USE THE NEARBY TRAVEL AGENCY on the corner by the hotel - employees there are very rude, uncaring about their customers, prices are high, and […] they will try to overcharge on commissions. They are the only travel agency on the island. Avoid them! The hotel itself recommended them to me, but I would never go to that travel agency again, ever. Make all your travel arrangements for Venice from home so once you're there you're all set. As for the hotel itself, I would recommend staying there. Devamı

We stayed 3 days in Oct. 2009. Located on the Isle of Lido, ten minutes by ferry to St. Mark's Square. Incredibly charming hotel and rooms....adequate size. Location is within 200 yards (or less) from ferry. Staff was great, very clean rooms and complete en-suite bathrooms, quiet....just as charming as can be. A perfect compliment to our time in Venice. […] Great Gelato across the courtyard....get one for me. Devamı

The Hotel is at a nice location if you want to be away from the main attractions but close enough to take a boat ride (20 min) to get there. The beautiful beach is walking distance and so are restaurants. The neighborhood is very pretty and busy. Really the only complaint was the staff. The front desk staff and manager were unhelpful,and the room was […] smaller than we thought. Devamı

Really close to the main vaporetto stop on Lido! On the main street, and the bus traffic is sometimes loud, but being on the main street was nice for food-finding. Overall, this was a GREAT location!

Would go back gladly. Decent place, excellent location, nice breakfast. Elevator did not work two of the four days we were there. The parking only accommodates six cars, so the first night we had to park in the street and pay by the hour. Staff could have been more helpful, but all in all it was a good stay.

Staying on Lido island is a little bit out of the way when you're coming from the airport, but I actually really liked the location. It is only about a block away from the vaporetto stop on Lido, which makes it easy to get to St. Marks Square and most of the other touristy locations. The island itself reminds me of a cute beach-town, with some places […] to shop and cute cafes and restaurants scattered around. If you walk a few minutes down the road the hotel is on, you'll get to the backside of Lido, which has plenty of nice public or private beaches. The hotel room wasn't anything fancy, but worth what we paid for it. Also, it was nice to have the free breakfast included. The only con: the noise from the hallway and other rooms carries kind of easily, as in many other small European hotels. Devamı

Hotel propre personnel accueillant et disponible Situation ideale sur le lido a deux pas de la gare routiere et maritime tres bon rapport qualite-prix-situation

Hotelli oli tosi viihtyisä ja tunnelmallinen, sijainti lähellä vaporettopysäkkiä. Pääsaarelle ja esim. Muranoon pääsi kätevästi. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja auttavaista. Ainoat miinuspuolet olivat aamupalalla kananmunien ja munakkaan erillismaksu, kallis netti sekä kaupunkitaksa, joka maksettiin henkilöluvun ja öiden mukaan.
