Nice property, as described. Nice to be in the middle of a square with many shops and restaurants around. Staff were friendly.
Logan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

Great stay!! We enjoyed the convenience of the location, breakfast in the morning and friendliness of the staff
Emma, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect location. It's really convenient and close to all the most important places to visit. Comfortable room with a lot of space even for a single room. Only drawback is that the air conditioning didn't work properly in my room on the second floor and it was really hot inside the room. Other than that, I'd give it a 10 and would definitely stay there again.

Sonia, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst ever, avoid

As I travel to many different places I use hotels.com as the hotels are usually what you expect to find at Hotels.com. Hotel Rio is my worst experience ever I think. As it is normally hot in Italy in August I chose a hotel with AC. We we arrived it was very hot in the room and the control on the wall was blinking help!! I told the reception and they said it has nothing to do with the aurcon.AC is centrally controlled and this error was something else. A pure lie I found out later. Of course it was impossible to get any sleep in a 35 degrees room. I had paid for 2 nights but had to find a hotel wuth a working ac. Did I get a refund for prepaid night. Forget it. This hotel should be taken out if hotel.com assp. Please choose something else. I am a Gold member in Hotels.com.
Lars, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good place if you keep expectations low

Cozy place where meets basic accommodation needs. Pros: Clean room, room size is good, adequate breakfast, excellent location, super helpful crew. Cons: Not very silent because of central location, no slippers in room, curtain shower
Didem, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best location in a small bustling public square just 3mins walk from the main square (windows also open and overlook the small public square which is amazing). The room was small (to be expected in Europe) but very clean, modern and comfortable and it was a good layout for the size. Just be mindful there is no lift so be prepared to walk your luggage up at least one level/flight of stairs.
Ryan, 3-night trip

Very clean. Everything in order Frendly staff
martin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Positive experience at Rio Hotel. Very convenient location to transportation near San Zaccaria station and very central location close by to San Marco. Average cleanliness. Very Small space. Room 206 has a view of the square in front , noise from restaurants below can be heard late (didn’t bother us).
Amanda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location

We had the triple room. The hotel was easy to find and close to the water taxi. The single fold out bed was good enough, but not good for those who may have back issues or are older. The air conditioning worked well, and they serve American breakfast (eggs/bacon, etc). If you want to be near tourist things and crowds, this is an excellent spot to stay! Just a few minutes walk to St. Mark’s.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

You can’t have a poorly located hotel in Venice. Everything is a walkable distance, but if you are looking for a quiet place, this location wasn’t bad. The staff was friendly and nice. Venice is a pretty dirty city/island. It floods each day with the rising tides. Cool experience and decent food. Definitely check out the other islands if you have seen all there is to see in Venice- Murano and Burano. You can see both in the same day. If I ever returned to Venice, I wouldn’t mind staying at this hotel again.
Lindsey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Matt, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel com boa localização porém o quarto que ficamos foi no anexo e tinha muitas escadas. Como estávamos com malas foi puxado. O primeiro recepcionista foi ótimo, porém chegamos antes do checkin, quando voltamos para colocar as bagagens no quarto o segundo recepcionista não foi cortez.
Julia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mark, 1-night trip

Good Stay but not good visit

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!!

Andrea, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the location of this hotel. It was very easy to get to via the Vaporetto and Google Maps. Many food choices within minutes, close to canals, and just a few minutes from the square. My room was clean, the air conditioning worked, and there was a mini refrigerator. I had a single room but after a long time of traveling throughout Europe, it was nice to have my own bathroom/shower with a hairdryer! I would stay again.
