Air conditioning performance is mixed, with some guests reporting effective cooling and others finding it weak or nonfunctional in hot weather. Breakfast is generally considered good and simple, though the small dining area can feel crowded and time slots may be assigned. Expect a clean, simple base in a prime, lively area.

We had a great stay at Hotel Rio! This place was maybe even better than the photos. The AC worked perfectly in very hot weather which was super important to us (in the heat of July). Staff was helpful and friendly. Easy to keep bags in storage early or late. Would recommend!

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

We stayed at Rio Hotel for several nights, and our stay was very pleasant. The hotel staff are friendly, and the staff member who checked us in also helped take one of the suitcases up to our room. There is no elevator, so keep in mind that you will have to transport everything you have up at least one flight of stairs. That said, having a third story view on the little square outside the hotel was great. Our 18-month daughter loved to people watch from the window as we prepared for the day. The rooms were updated and clean. And one the best conveniences of this hotel is its proximity to San Marco. During a chilly January week, this hotel was warm, and aside from the lack of an elevator (which is understandable given the age of the buildings) we had a wonderful stay.

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!

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.

The room was very small, it was hard to navigate with just two people. The cleanliness was sub par as there were squashed bugs left in the ceiling and shower when we entered the room. Also, we ended up getting stopped by city tax people while we were on a tour and apparently we were supposed to register on a website and keep a QR code on us. We didn’t know we were supposed to do this and our tour guide mentioned that the hotel is supposed to let us know about it. Overall, we were pretty happy to leave the hotel.

The room was extremely small. You could barely get around the bed without banging yourself on something. We stayed 2 nights. 8/28 & 8/29. The day clerk who checked us in was not very pleasant or welcoming. As a matter of fact, he was training a young woman. It was her second day there. The hospitality industry is not his forte and he should look for another job! The younger gentleman who was there in the evening and who checked us out on the 29th was very pleasant and accommodating.

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 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!

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.

I never experience such an unwelcoming and she she didn't not have a clue on how to emphasize with guests,she should be in that position, to be honest dealing with her spiñoid the entire weekend!!!

This hotel is literally 5 mins from St Marks Sq - we couldn't believe what a great location and good hotel for reasonable price. If you get the coach into Venice just get on the Vaporetto to St Marks Sq and it is a quick walk. Lovely staff. Clean and cheerful

Great location just off San Marco Square. Easy access to vespetto stations, gondola stations, San Marco Basilica, Doge Palace and the Rialto area is a short walk.

This hotel is definitely a budget level hotel with very few amenities. We did not eat the breakfast so I do not know about it. The staff was quick to respond to all of my emails and questions, which was a huge help while planning our trip. They took my bag up a flight of stairs to our room. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. It is located in an area with restaurants and other shops so it was noisy at night but it did not bother us. It was close to the area where the public transportation is. The price was good for Venice.

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!

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!

It was a fantastic location, right near the square. However this did mean some noise from outside until about midnight. Walls also seemed quite thin in the hotel and unfortunately had some noisy neighbours. Pavel and staff were very welcoming and helpful.

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.

Breakfast is typically good and simple, with some variety noted and fair pricing. The small dining room can feel crowded, and time slots or in-room service may be used.

Great accommodation. Comfortable room, great staff, good bathroom. They offer a bottle of water daily. Great location, easy to find by S. Zaccaria point. Close to San Marco. Good restaurants nearby. It was the first hotel to charge fairly for the breakfast in Italy. I would only recommend to have fruits. Other point to improve - the towels smell vinegar. I would totally recommend this hotel.

Spenderade två nätter här. Mycket trevlig personal, väldigt måna om en. Bra med gratis vattenflaskor på rum och till frukost. De hade äggröra och bacon, korv, ost, skinka och salami. Chokladfyllda croissanter, små yoghurt. Kaffe serverades från köket, det fanns alla typer och te förstås. Vi bodde på plan 2, det var lite jobbigt med trapporna upp, lite konstigt byggda i etapper. Men så det fanns en trapphiss för de som inte kan gå i i trappor men bara 1 trappa upp, men det fanns rum på det planet. Man fick nya handdukar varje dag. Jättefräscha snygga toaletter, vi hade med dusch. Litet rum men inte trångt. Stilrent. TV med bland annat Netflix. Minus för vår del var ganska hårda sängar och tunna hårda kuddar men tror vi hade fått andra om vi bett om det. Inget kylskåp. Hårtork i rummet, och vattenkokare. Läget är perfekt. Två minuter att gå till hamnen där man kommer in med båten vi åkte från stationen, 3 minuter till Markusplatsen med campanilen, där också suckarnas bro ligger runt hörnan. 10 minuter till Rialtobron. Undvik restaurangerna på torget nedanför hotellet. Dyrare än flera andra mysigare på bakgatorna. Fanns flera dit inte många utländska turister hittade. Vi skulle gärna bo på Rio igen om vi kommer åter till Venedig.

A localização é o ponto alto do hotel, fácil acesso a vários pontos de Veneza. Contudo, o quarto q nos colocaram tinha uma escada interna, com banheiro embaixo e cama na parte superior. Alguns problemas de manutenção, como chuveiro. Café da manhã no quarto por não ter mais como agendar horário no espaço do café, porém, o quarto não tem espaço adequado para fazer a refeição e embora tenham sido extremamente pontuais no horário da netrega do café no quarto, algumas coisa, como o café, chegaram frias. Atendimento da recepção excelente, educados e atenciosos.

Hotel location is excellent as it is near the St. Marks square. Unfortunately it is very noisy due to traffic. The rooms are small but we expect it so no surprise. Breakfast is served on the second floor in a small room so you need to let the front desk know of what time you want to eat. Unfortunately the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning so we left the windows open and got bitten by mosquitoes. Overall, we like the location.
