Ideally located. Old Luxury Hotel tastefully refurbished. Big rooms (Grand deluxe). Big bathroom but small uncomfortable shower in the bathtub, although there is plenty of floor space to install a luxurious shower. Excellent breakfast. Nice pool and private beach areas. There is a 15 min. boat shuttle service offered by the Hotel; every hour to and from Piazza San Marco... More

I booked a last minute break to the Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido for 4 days in May 2013. Looking at the previous reviews I wasn't entirely sure what to expect but as it was a short break I was happy to take the chance. Also the hotel was reported to have recently reopened after a major refurbishment so was happy... More

The notion of "avoid having high expectations to spare yourself from disappointment" perfectly applies here! Pro's: The hotel has a beautiful location - away from the traffic and noise of tourists at the old city. The hotel offers a complimentary water shuttle to the San Marco and back several times throughout the day. Make sure you stand in line 15... More

Hotel is stunning and in a perfect location for visiting Venice. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help you. The free shuttle to Venice was a special treat and one we apreciated very much. It was nice to come back to the hotel, away from the hustle and bustle at the end of our day.... More

We went late April arriving late Thursday evening. The hotel was dead, no atmosphere, but we were upgraded to a lovely 7th floor room with a balcony. It was a battle to get food other than a "toastie" at 11.25pm. The food and bar drinks are overpriced and nothing special. Building work going on immediately on the beach. Air conditioning... More

OH MY GOSH!!! We had no idea what a great find we had until we arrived and checked into this magnificent hotel. It felt more like a palace, than a hotel. It was on an island right in Venice. A beautiful beautiful private boat takes you back and forth on the Grand Canal to the main part of Venice. This... More

We stayed at the Excelsior Venice for 2 nights in September when Venice was a little more quiet (after the Film Festival) and the Lido season was at an end. The hotel is sumptious and has a Moorish, or Moroccoan design that evokes a more Arabian Nights/Alhambra experience than a Venitian palace. We didn't swim in the Adriatic, but our... More

The hotel is certainly not a 4 or 5-star hotel, it's probably a 3-star hotel. I've been to a few of the nice hotels in Italy and I am quite forgiving, not very picky, but always happy with the hotels I stay at. This one, hovever, is NOT up to standard. It's old and outdated, needs remodelling, and the restuarants... More
