Hotel Helvetia - Venezia

Stayed at Helvetia Hotel in Lido for two nights. A nice hotel at a very good location. Close to the Vaporetto station and the trip to the center of Venice doesn't take long. We had only ordered a room so we arranged breakfast at the shop just across the road. The room was small but clean and we didn't expect more at this price in Venice! Friendly staff […] who really made an effort to help you with whatever question you would have! Would definately stay there the next time I go to Venice! Les mer

Flott beliggenhet for den som vil tilbringe en del tid på badestranden, men dersom dere skal inn til Venezia hver dag må dere vurdere kjøp av 7-dagers båtbussbillett. 50 Euro for 7 dager, 13 Euro for tur/retur. Direkte båtbussforbindelse med flyplassen fra kaien bare 200 meter fra hotellet. Hotellet er rent og bra, og svært hyggelig og serviceinnstilt […] betjening, men bygningsstandarden er 1970-tallsnivå. På det ene rommet vi hadde måtte man stå bøyd i dusjen pga takhøyden. Det viktigste for oss var nok at kjøleanlegget fungerte. Totalt sett synes vi at hotellet var svært bra i forhold til prisen og vi kommer gjerne tilbake. Les mer

Vi var 2 voksne og to barn som bodde på Hotel Helvetia i 6 netter. Hotellet var av helt ok standard og hyggelig atmosfære. Beliggenheten var i begynnelsen av hovedgaten og perfekt i forhold til stranden som lå en liten spasertur unna. Vi hadde rom ut mot hovedgaten og støyen fra biler og forbipasserende kunne være forstyrrende om kvelden/natten. Totalt […] sett et helt ok hotell. Les mer

Hotellet ligger sentralt til båtstasjonen på Lido hvor man kommer seg over til Venezia. Deilig å kunne starte dagen med et bad på stranda (10 min gåavstand fra hotellet) for så å reise inn til Venezia. Standarden på hotellet er grei til en billig pris. Vær obs på at egg, eggerøre og annet ekstra koster penger. Dette ligger inneblant det andre pålegget. […] Var ikke en stor utgift, men irriterende av hotellet å legge det opp på denne måten. Les mer

3 star hotel. Get what you pay for. Hotel building a bit old, but location is excellent on the SME main street and very close to the new Lido vaporetto terminal. Good cleaning and friendly staff who solve your problems. We came back one more time to the hotel after considering alternatives. As it is close to vaporetto and at same time a short walk from […] the beach, it is an very good alternative. Les mer

Rent, sentralt på Lido, hyggelig for en rimelig pege. Svært fornøyd. Små rom og bad, men rent og hyggelig personale.

Hotellet hadde trengt en 'overhaling'. Små rom og bad og virket generelt gammelt. Men uansett, rent var det i hvertfall. Hotellet ligger på øya Lido ute i lagunen utenfor Venezia sentrum. Noe som egentlig er helt ok da man slipper unna byen litt. Det var bare 50 meter unna Vannbuss-terminalen. Lido er en endestasjon så det kommer og går båter der hele […] tiden. Området rundt hotellet ligger det butikker, kafeer, resturanter. (Lido er den eneste av øyene som har biltrafikk) Vi fikk en god pris på hotellet og hadde ikke hatt problemer med å bo der igjen. Greit sted til å bruke som base for å se byen og øyene (Båtene til øyene stopper på Lido)som turist. Dommen på hotellet er 'greit' Les mer

Hotellet var helt ok, men ikke noe mer. Litt småtrangt rom. Vi hadde rom uten frokost, og kjøpte frokost på hotellet en dag, det kostet 15 euro (10 euro for mindre frokost), det var det virkelig ikke verdt. Trådløst nett kostet 6 euro timen. Hotellet var lett å finne,det var til og med nesten synlig fra Vaparetto(båtbuss) stoppen på Lido. Grei beliggenhet […] for å komme seg inn til Venezia, gikk ofte båter inn til byen, noen færre båter sent på kveld. Les mer

Hotellet var innbydende, med vennlig betjening og god frokost. En hyggelig bakhage ga en fin atmosfære til frokosten og sene ettermiddagsstunder.

Vi kom til hotell Helvetia lørdag 3 juli tidlig på dagen. Alt var da klart og vi fikk tildelt rom. Hotellet har en kjempebra plassering på øya Lido i forhold til Vannbuss / vanntaxi, shopping. Ca 8 minutter å gå til stranden. Hotellet var bra og servicen kjempebra. Aircondition var viktig for oss, og den hadde vi ikke klart oss uten. Anbefaler dette […] hotellet. Fikk et inntrykk at det er mange nordmenn som bor på hotell Helvetia. ( Helvetia betyr ifølge han som jobbet i resepsjonen : ( fra gammelt av området rundt Sveits) Les mer

Vi synes beligenheten var et pluss ved dette hotellet. Godt a vaere litt unna det hektiske Venezia og ikke minst med mulighet til litt avslappende strandliv. Betjeningen oppfattet vi som vennlige. Det negative vi kan bemerke var at rommet vi bodde paa var innrokt og i enatasje vi ikke kom helt opp til i heis. Frokosten var ok.

The hotel had a very nice location (just metres away from the Vaparetto stops on Lido), and the staff was very kind and helpful with hour needs. The room was nice, albeit a very tiny bathroom.. but it did the trick. The only nuisance of the room as a very thin door.. if you stood in the hallroom and talked in an ordinary voice, everything was heard […] inside. The cleaning staff did their work perfectly, even though we didn't get out of the room until 12 some days :-). Aircondition AND fan is a large plus. The breakfast was from 7 to 10.30 and all you could expect. Croissants, juice, coffee, tea, bread, cheese and hams plus assorted jams. €2 extra for yoghurt. The staff even didn't mind us bringing a bottle of wine from a shop and drinking it in the lounge (we asked on beforehand). All in all, I would probably use this hotel again if I was to return to Venezia. Les mer

Koselig hotell på Lido utenfor Venezia. hyggelig betjening, og utrolig fin hage man spiser frokost i.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. personnel where kind and friendly, room was clean and tidy each day. Perhaps free WIFI would have been a good option to have.

I was very pleased with the hotel - it's affordable, yet only a few (15?) min away by public transport (boat) from San Marco square. I arrived soaked through by the rain, and although the official check-in time is 1pm, the receptionist let me and my daughter in straightaway, more than an hour early. The hotel is 50m from the boat stop, in a neat and […] pleasant neighbourhood with a nice mixture of hotels, shops and residential housing. The room was small, but comfortable, and we were pleased to make use of the postcards on the desk. There is no refrigerator in the room (not an issue in my book), and the loo is quite close to the wall - anyone with a particularly large girth would struggle, but the vast majority of guests would be OK. Les mer

Great location for waterbuses to airport & Venice. A good budget hotel in a safe neighbourhood. Could not access wifi, unfortunately. Room was very small, but clean. They have a private beach, but didn't have time to check it out. Friendly English-speaking staff. Recommend to those on a budget, who have lots of luggage, because it's impossible to take […] heavy luggage to hotels in centre of Venice, due to no taxis and cobbled streets Les mer

Hotel Helvetia is very conveniently placed for the water bus into Venice. A bus ticket is a must, we paid E33 for 3 days and used it lots. The first Venice stop is 15mins away. The hotel is only yards from the water bus stop and near restaurants and shops. It is very quiet on the Lido with very llittle traffic. The hotel is clean and comfortable but […] our room was more like half a room. It had the feel that it had been cut in half. We booked 'deposit not refundable' and we didn't have a safe and had the smallest of shower rooms. The double bed was comfy but pushed up against the wall which made it difficult getting in and out. The breakfast was plentiful but only continental. If you want eggs or yogurt you have to pay a surcharge! Because of the convenience and cleanliness I would stay there again but certainly book a better room. Les mer

We found the staff at Hotel Helvetia to be exceptional. They always took time to answer our questions with a friendly response. Loved the location away from Venice, but only 10-15 minutes to San Marco square by vaporetto. Nice outdoor terrace to enjoy the provided breakfast. Would stay here again as the price and conditions were better than anything […] we could find in Venice itself. Les mer

Quality hotel right off of the main street. Two minute walk to waterbus and St. Mark's Square. Lido is a beautiful island. Room was larger than expected and the bathroom was adequate. Beds were a bit hard and a queen is really two full beds put together. Overall experience is 3.5 out of 5. We would stay again.

OK, first the bad thing. The room was extremely tiny. But then I heard that it was the norm when staying in Venice. One guest that we spoke to said there were other hotels that charged more (up to double the rate) and the rooms were even smaller. The hotel was nice, clean and the bed was comfortable. And lets face it, you only go to the hotel to sleep. […] Staff were super and very friendly. The hotel was very nice and pleasant. Very, very conveniently located, about a minutes walk to the water bus. I'm glad we chose the Lido instead of Venice itself. The area was picturesque with lots of shops and restaurants. The entire experience was very pleasant. The water bus was no big deal and we enjoyed the boating aspect of it. The big beach was only 5 to 10 minutes walking distance. Breakfast was included and was in a very pleasant courtyard, which made the morning coffee a pleasant affair. I would definately stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Venice. Les mer

1. old and big key! you have to deliver key any time you leave hotel. 2. complicated breakfast menu! 3. wrong location of hotel in map. 4. good place in Lido. 5. nice officers/workers. 6. good air-conditioning. 7. near swimming beach.

A very conveniently located hotel on the Lido - only 2 mins walk from the Vaparetto stops, which take you straight onto the Grand Canal (15-20mins). Note however that it does take 45 mins approx to get to the train station from here. Hotel is located on the main shopping street on the Lido, so ideal for shopping, restaurants etc. It is a relatively […] quiet location despite its proximity. The whole area and hotel had a really nice calm holiday feel. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is adequate. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The reception staff provided maps of the Venice area and even wrote a step by step travel itinery so that we wouldn't miss our early morning train. I would definately stay here again. Les mer

Where do I start with this hotel we took a 2 week vacation to Italy and France and stayed in a total of 6 hotels this one by far stands out as the worst hotel of the 6. The room was so small that your have to be careful walking around in the room just because of the limited space otherwise you will bump into something with your knees. The included continental […] breakfast did not include eggs or yogurt and there is a lady standing with a clip board that tells you that as you are standing at the buffet picking up food. There was a 15 year old girl that picked up a hard boiled egg and the rude lady with the clip board said you know that is not included she that will cost you extra "What is your room number?"Just like that. we just saw that as we walked in and just said no thank you and had breakfast elsewhere. The location is not bad, when you get to the island of Lido however I have stayed closer to the main land before and it was much easier to get to the main areas of attraction. definitely would NOT recommend this hotel especially for someone visiting venice for the first time it would ruin your whole experience. Les mer

The hotel is very well situated only 2 mins walk from the vaparetto terminus and on the main avenue from the terminus to the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful and the general facilities were of a reasonable standard. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel as the breakfast room and garden area (with plastic seating) wasn't overly inviting and there […] are a number of nice cafes nearby where you can sit and enjoy the world go by. Our double room was clean and had all the essentials but was EXTREMELY cramped - only one person could get dressed at a time and the bed was against a wall so getting in and out was problematic... The ensuite bathroom had a good shower but you has to sidle up to the toilet and sit sideways since there was only about 10" from the toilet to the wall! The overriding memory of staying at the Helvitica was that it was manageable for a couple of days and was very convenient location-wise but due to the room size I couldn't really recommend it for a longer stay. Finally, if you're looking for somewhere to eat the restaurant on the waterfront to the right of the vaparetto terminal as you come off the boat - I think its called the Laguna is worth a trip and much better than the selection along the main avenue. It also has a spectacular view of Venice especially at sunset - go there early for a drink and enjoy the sun going down on Venice. Les mer

The Hotel Helvetia in conveniently located, close to the water bus stop, but get a room away from the street. The adjacent all-night, open-air bars can make sleep difficult. The rooms are fine and the staff are attentive, but the extra charge for the eggs and the yogurt on the breakfast buffet is a bit tacky.

Hotel was conveniently located from the water-bus stop on Lido. Just a couple of minutes walk. Breakfast was adequate. Really nice garden. Staff was friendly and courteous. I was a bit taken aback when they asked for our passports, but found out later that that was standard practice in Italy. Room was nice and spacious. Bathroom was equally good (new […] fixtures, tiles, etc.). A/C kept the room comfortable. Les mer

The hotel location is great if you want to be Lido Island. Lido is quite pleasant itself, but the canals of Venice are a transit boat away. Those boats are a bit pricier and longer than we anticipated. Still not a deal breaker. The hotel itself is pleasant and our rooms were simple but adequate for the price. Hotel staff seemed moody and indifferent […] but overall still an okay deal for the price. Les mer

If you want to get away from the touristy feel of Venice and into a more real neighborhood, I would recommend Hotel Helvestia. Within a few minutes' walk from the vaporetto station, and on the main drag of the Lido, it is nonetheless quiet and charming, with the added attraction of a courtyard garden where you can eat your breakfast or read in peace. […] The lobby and parlor are also charming spaces with funky midcentury modern armchairs. You can walk to the Lido beach, eat in the numerous restaurants near the hotel, or stroll in the neighborhood. My one quibble is that, for a fairly expensive room, they really should not have charged extra for eggs or yogurt for the breakfast! We were able to obtain a family room with 4 beds to save money but it was still on the expensive side. However, the charm and ambience really made us feel that we got our money's worth. Les mer

First night did not go to sleep ,,the window opend to the street, Next night got another room but we had to spend 1/2 day asking for it. Front desk also the MGR. are NOT nice and it is hard for them to smile.

We enjoyed our stay very, very much. We were travelling with our daughter and a 2 year old and a 4 3/4 year old grandchildren. The accommodations were most comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. We would definitely like to return sometime. The transportation to the hotel was efficient and the neighbourhood and eating establishments were also […] enjoyable. I appreciated the quick responses to my emails concerning transport from the airport and other travel tips. An excellent start to our Italian vacation! Les mer

Very nice hotel. Convenient location. Very near to Vaporetto stop. Nice restaurants nearby and 5 minute walk to the beach. Would have been happier if there were free wi-fi.

we stayed in a family room for 4 people and it is an excellent hotel. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Good continental breakfast.. Ideally located within walking distance to Lido water bus terminal . St marco square is only 10 minutes and Venice train station is 40 minutes by waterbus. Overall very satisfied

We had a delightful stay at Hotel Helvetia. The staff was courteous and helpful, the breakfast was the best we had during our entire stay in Italy, and the location was perfect. I will definitely recommend it to others.

Nice hotel on Lido across from St.Marks by boat about 30 min.More quiet area,5 min. to beach and Alilaguna.Good Restaurants.Hotel was great.Alilaguna 15 Euro to St.Marks or Airport.

We stayed in the hotel with our 3 years old daughters. The room and the breakfast were really nice. Staffs were quite friendly. Highly recommended.

The hotel is right off the water bus stop on Lido. Easy to find and get to with luggage. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to help us as we had lost luggage and they spent the entire day tracking it down for us! Lido is a nice alternative to Venice it is quiet and clean. You can easy get to Venice on the water bus. This hotel is […] the best bet for the price. Comfortable and you get a great breakfast! There are plenty of restaurants and shopping within a short walk and right out the front door. Les mer

Other than this hotel being the farthest out on the waterbus line, it was terrific. On the way back to to the train station at the end of our stay, we took a route with fewer stops and saved about 20 minutes off our travel time. The hotel is very close to the water bus terminals, and there is a nice cafe across the street. The service was outstanding […] with one exception; at breakfast we were told that if we had eggs or yogurt we'd have to pay, and one particular employee kept watching us as though he thought we'd "steal" what was supposed to be a complimentary breakfast. Other than this one incident, our stay was terrific. I just wish we'd planned to stay longer, as I could have spent hours just wandering around the island, and there aren't really any sights there...although they are only a water taxi away. Les mer

Location is excellent. Hotel should be rated as two star, not three star. The rooms that our couple friends and we had were two small to qualify as a three star. Literature indicated that the hotel was air conditioned. It may have had air conditioning but it was not turned on. The staff told us that the government would not let them turn it on until […] June 1. The truth is that other hotels nearby had air conditioning that was operating. We sufferred greatly by not having air conditioning turned on. The charge for a continental breakfast was excessive. Les mer

Fab hotel location is great, all the pleasures of venice across the water and turn right out of hotel five minutes walk and you are on a great beech.Plenty of nice caffe's and bar's on the lido.

I had a good stay at this hotel. It was just a two-minute walk from the ferries off of the Lido, and the rooms were not bad for the price. The wireless internet was very conveniently priced and reliable so I could email home from my room or the courtyard. The continental breakfast was pretty good and I enjoyed the service. Overall, I will most likely […] return to this hotel if I return to Venezia. Les mer

Just a short walk fromt he Vaperetto station on Venice's Lido, this location provided a welcome relief to the crowds on the main islands. The Vaporetto service (using line 1) is extremely efficient. Being on the Lido also makes the beach easily accessible. Local cafes close by - look for those used by the locals which are much cheaper - and a supermarket […] across the street. Would definitely use this hotel again. Les mer

The area of the hotel is EXCELLENT on a nice walking strip near public transit waterway. Many restaurants, diners, ice cream shops on the strip. Near beach. Curtious, English-speaking front counter staff. Although the Hotel is old, it is well maintained and clean.
