Hotel Avani Rio Novo Venice

Very nice place, easy to access from the airport. Tidy, clean rooms, good athmosphere, delicate fragrance and very helpful stuff! Nice bathroom with everything! We really loved that it is not located in the tourist area, but everything is within walking distance (Doge’s Palace is approximately 20-25 minutes through nice bridges and areas). And, from the bed we saw the lagoon. I had birthday during our stay and I got a nice surprise from the hotel. Thanks for the attenttion!

Hotel was far away from the main attractions but walking distance to the train station. The neighborhood was very quiet and not too many people walking around in the evenings. Front desk was very helpful recommending restaurants for dinner as we got in late evening. The hotel rooms were very nice but the shower got water everywhere so beware

This hotel was little far away from the main attraction, but it was close to the train station, so made it easy to get in and out. Marika at the front desk was very helpful and she was very knowledgeable about the location. She suggested us few location for best Tiramisu Cake in Venice and it was delicious. Hotel rooms are little small, but I guess it is Europe. The amenities were great and shower was awesome. Thank you for the great stay.

Husband and I stayed here during our short trip to Venice and what a wonderful stay we had! Room was clean and cold, updated recently? was within walking distance to many great places to eat (although a longer walk to some of the sights but we didn’t mind! We did end up spending a whole day wandering around the entire city and walked 11 miles in one day 😅), staff was friendly annd helpful and breakfast was awesome! Lots of great food options during the breakfast whether vegetarian or vegan! Loved all the extra amenities as well (gym, happy hour TH-Sat, free water). We’ll definitely be staying here again on our next trip!

Rooms are on the small side but really nice and updated. Location is not in the main touristy area which I preferred. That included breakfast was really good and lots of options. The staff was outstanding and great in communicating and answering my questions via email prior to my arrival.

We stayed at Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel for six nights and were very impressed from the moment we arrived with the hotel’s elegant and upscale looks.||The front desk persson was courteous assisting us with check-in to our room.||Since the official check-in time is 3 PM, they offered to stored our luggage, allowing us to begin exploring Venice. The hotel is in the Dorsoduro district, situated near the Fondamental Del Rio Novo, with many restaurants and shops along the bank of Rio Novo and in a quieter neighborhood. ||Excellent breakfast buffet with its variety of fresh fruit, pastries, and savory options.||Overall, the Avani Rio Novo provided excellent service, comfort, and atmosphere. ||We would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable stay in Venice.

I’ll start with out of the 3 hotels i stayed at while in Italy, this was the cleanest and most up to date. The rooms are small all over Italy but i did like the room. The staff was helpful as far as helping carry bags or giving directions but the customer service was the worst I’ve experienced. Our flight was turned around because there just so happen to be airport strikes at the airport so we were unable to land. I reach out to the hotel for assist with canceling just one night on our stay and was instantly met with attitude and no assist. I was rushed off the phone when i asked to speak with a manager. I was told there was no manager available to talk to me. I could understand if it was my fault i missed my reservation but for something like this i should have been offered something. I would have been happy with a voucher for a future stay. I was offered nothing. Money lost.

The hotel made my birthday extra special with a surprise room upgrade and a beautiful canal view! It’s clean, modern, and perfectly located—peaceful yet close to everything. The staff was warm and welcoming throughout my stay. A wonderful mix of comfort, style, and service. I’d definitely stay here again!

Stayed at this hotel for 2 days and I really enjoyed it. First off service was very good and everyone was so friendly. The rooms are nice and you can get a decent view of the canals. I came for a birthday/honeymoon and they gave me a complimentary bottle of champagne which was a nice free bonus. In terms of the room, it's small and comfortable. It has everything you would need and I feel this hotel was conveniently located near the train station as well as close to all the big areas in Venice. Breakfast - Food was delicious, had a great selection of items. They even had a coffee machine to make whatever you want which was awesome. Overall, would recommend this spot for convenience, friendliness, and breakfast. They even gave us a free welcome drink, which we used to get wine, because we booked through Costco. Enjoyed my stay here!

I was so worried about this hotel cause our tour had posted old pictures of the bed and it was nothing like the pictures I seen! I was so happy! It turned out to be the best most updated place we stayed in Italy! Nice friendly service. Walking distance to everything you need while traveling. We had a great time! Good breakfast Buffett too! Love the expresso machine!

What a wonderful place for a Venetian vacay! Clean and modern with wonderful staff. Get the breakfast. You will be glad you did. With a wide variety of international foods, you can power up for the day ahead. Our room has a king size bed, a wonder view and a modern bathroom with a bidet (hot and cold water). They make great use of the total space and the hotel windows open from the top to let in fresh air. When the moon hits your eye...

Fancy, modern and people leave you alone! Friendly staff, quiet rooms. Not very close to water taxi stops but walking isn't a problem. I would stay again if I'm ever back in Venezia.

My husband stayed at nH Venezia Rio Novo in June for our five year anniversary. This hotel is a convenient distance from the train station, we only had one suitcase so we walked over to the hotel but there are water taxis that can take you to different parts of the islands or the other side if needed. Hotel is very modern and clean. Very friendly staff, they all spoke English and that was helpful. Breakfast was great! And there were several restaurants within walking distance that we loved. Beautiful views of the canal from our room with huge floor to ceiling windows. The windows do open, FYI. Spacious walk in shower. We loved staying in the Rio novo district. It was quiet but still within a 20 min walk to st.Mark's sq and all your other main attractions. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful hotel, beautiful rooms with great accommodations. Super friendly & helpful staff. Location very close to the Vaporetto & main attractions. Loved the beautiful courtyard with chill music & couches where we had wine & relaxed enjoying the beautiful weather. Great breakfast buffet with variety of pastries, fruits & egg entrees ...& espresso machine with as many cups of coffee as I needed!

Average hotel room that costs way too much money. Front desk receptionist was very rude, and tacked on an additional 20 euros per night for having a second guest with. I literally travel the world and have never encountered a hotel with this policy, and it's complete bullshit the charge was hidden until checking in. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, especially not Americans as we're treated very poorly by the local hotel staff. Update: Woke up covered in mosquito bites - understandable for the location but to actively have mosquitoes flying around a hotel that costs more than 300 euros a night is simply unacceptable.

Very nice hotel, close to the train station. Michelle from NH Gustiano Rome location recommended this.

We asked the hotel to clean the bed sheets and what do we find when we are back in our room-- hair on our bed sheets and other nasty things. Please clean and wash your sheets before rooming guests here. Very unhappy.

The approach to the hotel was not inviting - laundry hanging on the building across, lots of graffiti surrounding, but the lobby is bright and comfortable. This isn't a lavish or elegant hotel, but the room (we stayed three days, two different visits) was very clean and had everything we needed. There were usb plugs by the bed, mini-bar, well-lighted closets. The bathroom was very chic with a nice make-up mirror and bidet and shower. It's all new and sleek. I was concerned about the shower, however. I am mid-sixties and wondered if other older people would have shared my concerns. The tub was very high to step into, and there were no handles to grab onto if it got too slippery. It just required some caution but it's worth making note of. There was a lovely breakfast area though it wasn't included in our rate. We did order cappuccinos one morning and the bartender brought us some cake (gratis) to go with. Very nice reception ladies - some friendlier than others. Overall, happy with this choice.
