Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Riviera dei Dogi

Recommend! Comfortable bed, good shower, the AC worked great, good breakfast, nice spacious room with views of the canal and street. I felt safe and comfortable as a solo traveller. Easily walkable to some lovely villas. Staff were very helpful! I was only there for a first day from a long day of travel, so I didn’t try the local restaurants but they looked worthy of a nice meal and wine.

This hotel should have been demolished 50 years ago. Water has no pressure for a simple shower… The hotel is listed as a 4 star, it can barely hold 1 star.

Love this hotel have stayed there a few times now, close to Venice, local bus ride from just around the corner from the hotel to Venice.

Always friendly and helpful and excellent breakfast. Great price and lovely location.

It is not one of those huge hotels, small and classic, it has style. The breakfast was a bit boring but hey I don't complain

Since the Brexit vote, the pound sterling has been weak against the euro and hotel prices in Venice are high anyway. Even with the modest additional cost of the bus fares to the city, this hotel is an economical choice for travellers who don't mind waiting for buses (a few hundred metres to the stop) and sitting on them for about 30 minutes each way. The bus route continues to Padua, so provides a convenient means to get there too. The hotel is unpretentious, very clean and with charming staff. No problems with hot water or the nowadays equally important internet. There is a restaurant nearby with good food.

We stay here always before flying out of Venice. Always very accommodating and there are sites around it as well.

Lovely hotel staff were absolutely superb. Only downside is in the week we visited it was very warm and the air con was not on. I asked at reception and was told it was to early in the year and to open the shutters. This would have been fine apart from the fact we was next to a very busy road

good- stayed there 2 other tumes

This hotel is 25K from Venice though that is not apparent in the ad, which says it is on the end of the canal. We had planned to stay in Venice, not in some small town 25k down the road. The owner was defiant and not in the least helpful, We felt scammed into believing this hotel was on the canal in Venice, and when we explained our situation, he was most unhelpful, even rude. Furthermore the hotel was dark and dingy, there is nothing around it that is interesting. I would never stay there, not on a bad day, certainly not a good day. Needless to say, we cut our losses as we had paid in advance, and left. I could not possibly recommend this hotel to anyone. We travel extensively and have stayed in numerous hotels around the world. This one along with its owner goes to the bottom of the list.

Real nice hotel but the shower was to small but the staff was excellent

This is a good hotel to use as a base to explore the Brenta Canal and the villas that surround it. There is a handy bar within 100 metres, and a really good pizzeria about 10 minutes walk away. The staff are helpful and friendly.

We have stayed here many times. The front desk person is always accommodating. The rooms are very reasonable. They provide a lovely breakfast and will help,with dinner reservations or whatever else you need. You cannot go wrong staying here.

This hotel is about 400m from the bus route from Venice to Padua, and in a quiet position. The staff speak English and were very helpful. Serve yourself breakfast, including the coffee, I worked out that a shot of expresso and the hot water (for tea) produced a decent coffee. However, my room (105) had a small en-suite, if you are larger than size 14, I think that you would struggle. Otherwise a decent hotel for half the price of Venitian hotels. There is a decent restaurant next door, the chef is young but produces excellent food.

Lovely hotel with great restaurants close by and a couple of quiet bar cafe's to enjoy a late evening drink after spending the day sightseeing on Venice Island. Public transport bus system very reliable.

We were very lucky with atop floor .end room facing the canal, in the main building, with decadent period furniture. A sitting area outside room serving 4 rooms, spacious.The view was lovely, (we had 3 windows in 2 directions)but the noise through the night was loud from cars racing down the narrow road. There are annexe buildings, but rooms look dark, particularly lower levels. perfect spot to visit Venice, as you can park and ride the bus. under 7 euros return. Nice town in itself too. Helpful desk clerk. A good find.

We were so disappointed how far away from Vemice this hotel was. We felt weave a huge mistake staying way out there. We took the bus in to Vemice each day, though, and made the most of it in the end.

Friendly staff, clean rooms, quiet neighbourhood , staff went out of the way to show us our way around the city

was off the main route from venice to padova. was about four block walk to hotel with not signage from bus stop as how to get there. Other hotels had there signs out. There sign in front is very faded so not noticeable till your right there. Hotel is very old but charming. ,cereal etc.. orange juice and is inclusive with reservation. If you need ice they have to get it from an old fashioned ice cube tray and send about cup of ice with you. They understand English for the most part. Have some nice little restaurants close by. U will need euros.

The hotel does not have airport transportation. Their cruise terminal shuttle is the local bus, two blocks from the hotel. There is no elevator, the air conditioner in the room did not work.
