We expected more.

Excellence everywhere!

A good idea is for the air conditioning to be from the room not reception , however the lady from reception was very polite and helpful.Than you. The view from the room is amazing.

The Excelsior on the Lido is the perfect spot to relax and recharge, whilst having rapid access, by hotel boat and public boat transport, to Venice and nearby islands. We find the Lido and its beach to be a much more pleasurable Venice base than staying in the center of Venice. Excelsior is an old-world style resort, with all of the wonderful staff and amenities of yesteryear, with no pretension. The facilities and services at both the private beach and pool are simply perfect. The staff are warm and always happy to help in any way they can. The rooms are elegant and well appointed. This was our second visit and we WILL be back!

Overall our stay was fine. The staff were friendly enough and the hotel itself was sufficient for our stay. Pros - Really yummy breakfast was included every day, the location was close to sites, restaurants, and the waterbus/vaporetto dock, and there is a garden terrace space within the hotel. Cons - The room was clean enough but not well maintained from years of use (and this was obvious with broken decor, missing bathrooms tiles, styrofoam attached to the wall) and the walls are PAPER thin and could hear everything (between neighboring rooms, hallways with staff cleaning or prepping breakfast, and even people making noise or walking outside).

Highly recommended this hotel. It was in a peaceful location but within easy walking distance of the main sites of Venice. Our room was large, with a very comfortable bed. The staff were extremely helpful and all of their recommendations were excellent. We will definitely stay here next time we visit Venice!

Always a great stay and experience. Fabulous staff.
