Hotel Residence Venezia 2000

Breakfast, sun terrace, restaurant

Our room was one of 3 located on the ground floor overlooking the car park. There were rooms overlooking the beach- we asked to be moved each day but it was not possible. THis did spoil the stay.

The clenliness of the hotel and the sun terrace was good, (giving the costly inconvenience of having to use the beach facilities). Access to Venice from Lido and visa vera was very good with regular ferries which operate 24/7 (average journey time 10-15mins) and the Airport was also easy to get to and from by ferry (average journey time 1hr 10mins).

General local tourist information was none existent within the hotel. There was no basic tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms, which is an inconvenience when you get back in the evening from a days sightseeing in Venice and just want to sit down with a hot drink. The hotel would provide a kettle (even though it didn't fit any of the plugs in the room) and to add insult to this they would not even provide cups with the kettle, which was rather sad. Access to the beach is poor with each section private and the cost of hiring a sun lounger through the hotel we found to be a complete rip off and not value for money. We were charged 20Euro to hire the sun lounger from 1130 to 1300 hrs. The hotel is a good 10-15 minutes walk from the ferry port at Lido, which is not the most convenient, however there is a regular bus service, but with buses every half hour, 9 times out of 10 your quicker to just start walking.
