Hotel berhampiran Pachuka Beach, Venice

Old glory this hotel is. Even though we asked for a room with a separate bedroom, we got a room where the bedroom was a bit divided but not closed. The airco is positioned under the window but sinds a thick curtain closes over it, it only can cool the room a bit. Because of the heat, we slept with the curtains open but a soon as the sun comes up, you have another problem. The shower temperature is not stable and won’t provide warm water for long. Plus the shower is in the bathtub. As parents with a young child, it’s ideal to have a bath but if I didn’t have a kid I would hate it. The room was located on the second floor but no elevator. In the other building with smaller rooms they did have an elevator. Breakfast was plenty, not all fresh but good enough. The restaurant (for diner) was a bit of a let down and expensive. Although the scenery is beautiful. The staff was really friendly and they offered a free boat ride to murano. The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the boat ferries and main street of Lido. There is a bus but it was a mystery when the bus will go.

The hotel is perfectly placed if you want the beach as it is opposite a fabulous public/free beach but with the option to purchase umbrellas, food, drinks etc if you want. You have a view of the beach/sea at breakfast. Also the roof terrace has sea views one way and sunset views the other which is fab! Claudio who serves at the roof terrace is an absolute joy. Reception is 24hours and staff were friendly and helpful. It's a 20 minute walk to the waterbus stop which takes you to Venice, Murano etc but the walk to the stop is alongside the sea or the Venice lagoon so is pretty special. We bought a weekly ticket for the waterbus to Venice etc at 65€ each which we thought worked out to be good value. There is a fabulous pool area nearby and 'pay for' beach which is pricey but we thought pretty good value at 12€ each for a sunbed without an umbrella at the pool or 48€ for two with padded sunbed, umbrella and table. There's a nice snack bar so you can stay all day. If you want the 'best of both worlds' Lido is ideal. We loved the calm after a busy morning exploring and sightseeing and an afternoon on the beach or by the pool was perfect for us. At first I was disappointed there were shutters at the windows and no view but it got very hot so I was glad of the air con and shutters on returning from sightseeing. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. If you want sea views pay the extra. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet with lots of choice. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Tips: sit on a bench and watch the sun set over Venice/Venice lagoon. Visit Claudio on the roof terrace and enjoy a drink (and snacks) with a view.

L’hotel è ben posizionato al Lido, comodo a tutto, tranquillo e in una bella villa. Qui finisce purtroppo la parte positiva della recensione. Personale presente solo al mattino, poi reception sempre deserta, si entra con un codice. La camera non sarebbe male, ma la pulizia non è granché, lenzuola strappate mai cambiate in 5 giorni, asse del water rotta e mai aggiustata (segnalata, ma pare ci volesse l’idraulico…), asciugamani di tela piuttosto scomodi. Niente bar. Ma la cosa che proprio non è all’altezza di un 3 stelle è la colazione: servita in terrazza, anche sotto la pioggia, nessun buffet, consta di un panino e una briochina piccoli, surgalati e riscaldati e gommosi, burro, marmellatine, cioccolata spalmabili di Marche sconosciute messi alla rinfusa in una ciotolina, una mela, uno yogurt, succo annacquato, bevanda calda. Abbiamo visto servire dei cereali a vicini di tavolo e quando abbiamo chiesto ci è stato risposto che loro li avevano chiesti in precedenza. Insomma avrebbe ottime potenzialità, e credo che con poca spesa si potrebbe migliorare veramente tanto. (Per esempio Per la colazione almeno un panino fresco del panettiere!).

We stayed as a couple in October and found the hotel to be conveniently situated in a nice area with easy access to the water bus terminal. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice enough with modern design. The shower is on the small side and I found the mattress uncomfortable however my wife found it acceptable. The breakfast was not great and the coffee poor for Italy but there are plenty of places for coffee and breakfast within a five minute walk. Overall I would return to this hotel as it’s an ideal base with clean rooms in a nice area and a convenient location, when visiting Venice your not going to be spending that much time in the hotel.

It was a nice experience overall. There is a €3.60 city tax per person per night that's added on and can only be paid in cash which was inconvenient. There is tea/coffee provided in the room, however, they also charge to refill them if you use any. Breakfast is an extra €5 per person and breakfast lasts less than 3 hours (7am-9:45am) which is a bit inconvenient if you want to sleep in or if you have to get up early. The desk staff is moderately friendly. When we first arrived they weren't too friendly but the evening and check out attendants were nicer. The room is pretty small and really only enough room to eat around the perimeter of the bed. The bathroom is decently sized, however, the shower didn't have a door so water pools out onto the floor unless you huddle close to the shower head and even then... The TV is very small and not easily seen if you are vision impaired. My biggest complaint, however, is how hard the bed was. There's little to no cushion on the mattress. I woke up both mornings I was there and had back and hip pain (I'm 28 yrs old in relatively good physical condition). It is close to sleeping on the floor. There was a closet with a nice amount of space to put our things. There is also am elevator to access the floors which was convenient on days that we walked a ton. The lobby is nice and clean and has some seating areas. We did not explore the bar or breakfast areas. The hotel itself is located near the water bus station for easy access to Venice. It is also on a strip of shops and restaurants. Granted most things on the island of Lido do close early and a lot of them are temporarily closed but still marked as open on Google maps. Plan accordingly and call places ahead of time. I've included pictures of the bathroom which was overall nice, however, I didn't take pictures of the bedroom as it was small and hard to get a good angle.

Premesso che torneremo prestissimo in questo ”piccolo” paradiso, torneremo sicuramente perché chi incarna l'Ospitalità, la Gentilezza, la Professionalità, la Squisitezza, è il Signor Eugenio che, definire Receptionist - Concierge, risulterebbe riduttivo per Lui. Un Grande Professionista, persona molto Umana, Professionista che onora il Suo lavoro trasmettendo una gran carica positiva e fa grande l'Hotel PANORAMA, appunto con la voglia di tornare subito. Servizio top. Struttura molto pulita, accogliente in ogni sua parte, impagabile avere la possibilità dalla camera di ammirare Venezia e tutta la sua laguna. Ottima la colazione, i colleghi del Signor Eugenio sempre disponibili, attenti affinché non mancasse niente alla tua ottima colazione. TOP 10 E LODE

Alloggiato una notte sola in occasione della festa del Redentore e per me è stato davvero un sogno. La camera era spettacolare, al terzo piano, con due terrazzini di cui uno vista bacino di San Marco e laguna, quindi spettacolo pirotecnico goduto direttamente dalla stanza. Personale di reception gentilissimo, meno il personale di sala a colazione. L'hotel secondo me è strategico: si arriva direttamente da Tronchetto con il vaporetto n. 2 (durata circa un'ora che però è già vacanza perché si passa attraverso il canal grande) o con il Ferry. L'hotel si trova esattamente di fronte alla fermata del vaporetto e dista a circa 15 min di vaporetto da San Marco. Allo stesso tempo dista 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia e dagli stabilimenti balneari del lido che si raggiungono con una gradevole passeggiata sul viale principale che parte proprio da sotto l'hotel, con ogni sorta di negozi per ogni necessità. Noi ci siamo goduti la visita in città scappando poi dalla calura godendoci un bel bagno a fine pomeriggio. Colazione ottima e varia. Bagno piccolo che per noi non è stato un problema vista la bellezza della stanza. Sicuramente da tornare anche per più giorni.

Struttura storica della Venezia glam degli anni passati, ora si presenta vintage. Probabilmente per la direzione il costo per le oramai indispensabili ristrutturazioni dell’edificio e delle camere non e’ sostenibile. Piu’ adatta ad un pubblico anziano che a giovani. Lodevole lo sforzo di innovare alcuni spazi (gym, piscina, esterni). Ottimo il personale giovane di ristorante, colazioni, piscina. Non altrettanto la direzione della reception, con anacronistico e risibile fare snob, per nulla professionale.

I would definitely recommend this ho(s)tel to young people. All the team was kind and helpful, although a very few of them spoke italian. The location is amazing, San Marco and its beautiful surroundings easy to reach by vaporetto number 2 - by the way.. if you are planning to spend at least 2-3 days it‘s worth buying a Venice card. Our bedroom was absolutely clean and the mattress comfortable. Still I would have appreciated one more towel pro person… by the high rate we paid.

Very neat and friendly environment. Amazing staff ready for guest's enquiries. My earlier perception of how the hostel would look completely vanished. Very comfortable beds. Good discipline among the guests. However, renting Towels at €5 seemed ridiculous to me. And also, Duvet covers should be provided instead of the additional bed sheet given. Nevertheless, I enjoyed staying and hope to return when visiting Italy again.
