A big thank you to all the staff at Hotel Rigel. It was nice to see you all again! I have stayed at the Rigel many times over the years and enjoyed seeing the improvements and investment made in that time ( Modern keycards, Upgraded Wi-Fi and improved layout at breakfast to name a few ). The hotel retains its charm and high standards every time. A lovely hotel made great by the wonderful people that work there.

​My recent stay at Hotel Rigel was absolutely phenomenal. While the property itself is wonderful and perfectly situated, it is the extraordinary staff who truly elevate the experience into something unforgettable. ​From the moment I arrived, I was treated with unparalleled warmth and professionalism. A massive thank you to the incredible team: Selina, Racquela, Zancanello, Marco, and Stefano. Each of them went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my stay was perfect. Whether they were offering fantastic local recommendations, anticipating my needs with a genuine smile, or simply bringing fantastic energy to the hotel's atmosphere, they made me feel completely at home.

The hotel had so much beautiful character, wonderful staff and great ambiance. Would definitely go back!

The hotel is just a 3-minute walk from the Lido vaporetto terminal, making it very convenient for exploring Venice. The location is excellent and close to transportation, restaurants, and other amenities. By Italian standards, the hotel is reasonable, but travelers accustomed to North American hotels may find it below expectations. The beds are basic but comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. The bathroom was clean but very small and dated. In fact, the entire property feels as though it hasn't been updated in decades. We stayed in a quadruple room with one queen bed and two cots. The room felt cramped, although it had two windows. The air conditioning worked reasonably well and kept the room comfortable at about 21°C despite outside temperatures reaching 34°C. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay. The selection and quality exceeded expectations and was one of the best parts of the experience. Checkout is at 10:30 a.m., which is earlier than most hotels. Luggage storage is available, but the storage room is not secure, as anyone can walk in and access stored bags. The lobby furniture is also very dated and adds to the overall tired appearance of the hotel. Overall, this is a reasonably priced hotel in a great location. While the rooms and common areas could use modernization, the excellent breakfast and convenient location make it a decent option for travelers prioritizing value over luxury.

Breakfast was good. Lido area is lovely and quiet but it takes extra time to get there. Hotel is old and tired; needs updating.

Staff are great (even the grumpy one!). Yes, it's dated and probably a lightbulb will need changing or the batteries in the remote don't work, but rooms are spotless, reception was there even when I arrived near midnight, the location is brilliant close enough to the vaporetto and all the restaurants etc but on a very pretty, quiet street. Breakfast is very good - great cake! - and can be eaten in or outside on the terrace - though I don't love the coffee machine. Tip: single travellers, do yourselves a favour and book a double room.

Situated in a Quiet residential area , close to restaurants , vaporetta and shops . Small outside seating area but bar appeared to be closed . Room dated but otherwise as expected

Very good breakfast!

We found Hotel Rigel to be an excellent choice for our 5 nights. The hotel is just a 5 minute walk from the waterbus stop on Lido on a quiet road. Our room was comfortable and very clean with some interesting touches of Venetian style. As promised by the reviews, the breakfast was a generous spread of fresh fruit, cold meats, cheese, rolls, croissants, cereals, nuts, eggs, salad and a tempting array of biscuits, cake and tarts. The hotel does not have its own restaurant but there are several close by and because the Lido is mostly residential you get a more authentic Venetian experience.There is also the bonus of seeing Venice surrounded by snowcapped mountains...magical. Get ab ACTV pass and you are sorted.

The room I had was kept amazingly clean and the cleaning staff was so attentive and friendly. They definitely merged well with the rest of the stay in terms of making me feel welcome and comfortable at the hotel

The rooms were kept very clean and tidy and the staff have been incredibly friendly and delivered fantastic service

Las habitaciones muy limpias, los empleados muy amables. Los desayunos muy buenos, lo unico negativo cuando sacabas la tarjeta de abrir la puerta y la luz para salir del cuarto, el refrigerador se apagaba y por poco pierdo todas las medicinas que necesitaban refrigeracion, hable con la administracion y me dejaron la luz por los dias que estube, otra cosa por un refresco de coca cola del bar cargaron 6 euros.

Thank you to all of the staff at Hotel Rigel for another wonderful stay

Room was very clean, shower over bath not so great, breakfast good. Rooms not well insulated from sound

Easy commute from the Main Venice island over to Fido. Very quiet, Clean, and staff was very polite and friendly. Nearby shops and cafe and safe to walk even at night. Definitely recommend and will return for another stay.

Great selection of breakfast foods. Fantastic old world feel.

Excellent place to stay while visiting Venice with family. Really terrific breakfast, comfortable beds, safe and quiet street, very short walk to restaurants, the beach, and the vaporetto stop to get around to other spots. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Thank you to everyone at the Rigel for another wonderful stay. It was great to be back. Marco, I hope you enjoyed your fishing trip! See you all soon I hope, Ben

Very nice hotel within walking distance from the boats, very convenient location in Lido, nice breakfast too!

Great hotel very close to public 24hr boat into Venice. Staff friendly and good breakfast. 2 restaurants at end of street for pasta/ pizza etc would recommend and would stay again.
