Excellent Hotel! Nice fresh room and very clean. Breakfast was excellent with many choices - hot and cold. Location is excellent - in the heart of the San Marco minutes from Piazza San Marco. Located on a nice little Campo (square) with many restaurant choices. Windows are insulated so significantly reduce outside noise. We really enjoyed our stay at the Rio!

I recommend this place

The two men who worked at the reception were very attentive, accommodating, and helpful. Our TV wasn’t working properly at first, but they made sure that the issue was addressed immediately. The location is great, only a short walk from the water bus station (we had large suitcases so this was very convenient) and there are lots of food and retail stores immediately outside of the hotel. The room itself was very clean and had been renovated to make the most of the space. Just be aware that there is no elevator, only stairs. We would definitely stay here again if we travel to Venice in the future.

Un lugar tranquilo y prolijo acorde calidad precio, buena opcion para hospedarse sin gastar mucho dinero.

Clean room but very, very small. No closet space. Room was hot even with AC on. Bathroom was acceptable. No elevator. Had to climb stairs with luggage. Close to everything.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rio Hotel! The location is ideal for getting around central Venice, just a few minutes' walk from St. Mark's Square, and there are a lot of dining and shopping options right outside the hotel. The room was small but more than enough for my needs, and it was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and recommend this hotel to others!

Hotel Rio is located in a small square with many dining options. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We only paid for the English Breakfast one day but it had great options of bacon rashers, sausages, hash brown patties and scrambled eggs. The location is extremely convenient as it is only a two minute walk from the Vaporetto station. This gave us convenient access to the Train Station, other parts of Venice, and the islands of Burano and Murano. The square outside the hotel is quite lively but everything closes down precisely at midnight and it was quiet until 8:00 AM. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved exploring the streets of Venice. We would definitely recommend Hotel Rio to anyone visiting Venice. Grazie Mille!

Checkin was lovely and helpful. She gave us our room early. The maid provided a fan. Great shower, bed. Excellent location right on a square with many dining choices. However, pretty noisy at night- at least until midnight. Bring white noise. Didn’t add on breakfast. The room and choices seemed cramped and crowded. Breakfast was available at downstairs cafes.

Hotel Rio is in an excellent location. While there, I would say the service was average. But, the staff did something so exceptional regarding a problem I had, that I am giving them an excellent rating. I left my expensive iPad in the room after we left for Trieste. I called and said I’d be in Trieste for 5 days and asked if they could ship it to my hotel there. The Rio staff was extremely responsive and I received it via DHL 3days later, completely intact. Packaged incredibly well.Shipping charge only $30. You really want a hotel that will be helpful when you have a problem, and they really came through for me in an outstanding way. I’m so appreciative and impressed.

Nice location. Very tiny room

Accommodations were nice and the location was great! Near St. Marks, the waterfront and great eating everywhere.

It is a decent hotel. Clean rooms and very nice staff. The breakfast was good too. It is a small hotel in a very nice area. Very close to St. Mark square.

Very good location.

Excellent location and the food options around the hotel were all good. Would stay again.

Very clean and convenient property for solo traveller exploring Venice. Central location, easy to get to by ferry from Venezia S. Lucia train station (30 minute walk is a bit tricky due to nature of Venice streets/bridges, but manageable if no accessibility concerns). Amazing bakery (‘Venice Bakery’) nearby, had best panini and pastry I’ve tried in Italy so far.

Fabulous location. It was a little warm, the AC was light. No elevator. Staff was WONDERFUL. Very clean but small but we were fine with that. Breakfast comes with room. Great restaurants and shopping right outside the door

The staff was amazing it was very close to local attractions and shopping, definitely would come again!

No air conditioning but pretended to have it , hotel does not have a real AC system, multiple complaints of this in reviews. Ho

The hotel is great overall, but the area is not good full of visual trash, Venice is not well maintained and too many pick pockets around. very and truly unfortunate!!

Not luxurious, but very clean and comfortable. There is no elevator, so be aware if you are travelling with folks with mobility issues that they will have to use the stairs unless you get a a first floor room
