Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Rio enjoys a fantastic location, just a short walk from St Mark's Square and other main attractions, with a cozy square offering restaurants right outside. The modern and clean rooms provide a comfortable stay, and some guests have found the memory foam pillows particularly enjoyable. Many appreciate the updated interior, though a few have mentioned rooms located in the annex, accessible by stairs, overlooking service alleys. You can also enjoy complimentary coffee and tea in your room.

fantastic stay near st mark's square!

perfect location clean room
the location was perfect. i found it very easy to get to via vaporetto. my room was clean and had a mini refrigerator. the air conditioning worked great. i was happy to have my own bathroom with a hairdryer.
the breakfast wasn't great. the hot food seemed a bit dry. it didn't seem very fresh. i noticed it seemed to only be filled once.

small bathroom frying oil smell
The room i got was not great. it was quite small, and the bathroom lacked space to even turn around. There were also no shelves. the view was onto the back of a restaurant, so i couldn't open the window because of the smell of frying oil. This smell was very strong. the room was quite expensive considering the low comfort level.

Acceptable Stay Near San Marco

service alley loud noises
The room faced a service alley. Restaurant staff gathered there to pile garbage bags. They also smoked and talked loudly late into the night. This made it difficult to sleep. I would have preferred a quieter location away from the back of the restaurants.
