Hotel Biasutti

I stayed three nights with my mom at this hotel. I loved the look of hotel and it’s front porch for relaxation, cleanliness, and closeness to the beach and water taxi transportation.The breakfast was sufficient. The room was big enough with classic furniture, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was perfect, surprisingly it even had a Bidet. I would recommend this hotel for anyone who wants peace and quiet, and convenience.

The hotel is located within short walking distance from fine dining, grocery market and the Vaporetto. The neighborhood is safe, quiet and idyllic. If visiting in the high season, leave the crowds and noise back at San Marco. Lido is the place for quiet and relaxation. The front desk staff and management could not have been more pleasant and accommodating: Christina was particularly helpful and knowledgeable. The room was clean and secure; and daily housekeeping was 'Five Star'. I can't stop telling people how comfortable the mattress was. I want one for my own home but am finding that, made in Italy, --obtaining one is as yet, just not possible. I'll be returning to Hotel Biasutti again and again.

There are some old hotels that provide a level of comfort and quaintness that travelers will remember as a satisfying experience. This is not one of them. Biasutti is in serious need of upgrades. The rooms are tiny, the ‘antique’ furnishings look like they were picked up on the street on trash day. If you’re lucky the water pressure in the antique(?) bathtub/shower is enough to rinse you off. Oh, and the ants in the bathroom were certainly a lovely touch. This is a sad, old hotel.

For the first time in two dozen visits to Venice, we chose to book five nights on the Lido, at the Biasutti Hotel. We chose the best room which is classed as a Junior Suite and it is the only room on the fifth floor. The room was spacious, with lots of light and a good bathroom. The breakfasts, in a glazed ground floor terrace, were adequate. One was not tempted to overdo it! I really liked the quiet location in an old Victorian street but just five minutes from the Vaporetto. And it’s two minutes from a brilliant fish restaurant - Trattoria Andri. But you must book for dinner to get in. Lunch only on Sundays. The whole area has the feel of faded grandeur - a Gentile’s old lady.

The front desk and cleaning and maintenance staff are just as old-fashioned as the facilities, which I like very much: they're a bit formal, but very professional, and, in their own reserved way, friendly. My room was well-maintained and comfortable, and the location is a bit off the beaten path but not isolated; you get the feeling a lot of locals live around there. All of which are good. The only downside is the breakfast. The hotel has the same indifferent attitude toward flavor that a lot of the restaurants do in Venice. I was there eight days and they provided the same tasteless cheese slices, cold cuts, overcooked scrambled eggs and slightly odd coffee and buns every day; the only thing that changed from time to time was the type of dull, stale-seeming cake that was on offer. But it was always still dull and stale-seeming! So if you want a good breakfast, look elsewhere, or bring your own; but other than that, I liked the place, I must say. I was in Venice in the sixties, and this was a lovely reminder, in the best sense, of times past: a slightly faded elegance.

the room is full of dust (on the headboard, on the lamps, in the corners of the room), dirty carpet. the duvet is an old blanket wrapped in a sheet. bathroom door won't close. fungus in the bathroom. poor breakfasts. canned fruit. tasteless cakes. coffee from a jug. No drinking water in the room. when I wanted to take water from breakfast, the waitress literally grabbed it from my hands, saying that I should take it from the mini bar and pay for it. the safe in the room could not be locked.

Enjoyed the stay, staff was courteous and professional. Lovely place to stay while visiting Venice and the Lido has its own charm and stuff to enjoy

Great location. So close to stop for valporetta to Venice. Close to restaurants and bars
