Although we booked a balcony in advance (and paid extra), we were initally given a room without one, but the friendly staff soon sorted this out for us.
We had been concerned that we would be missing out by staying on the Lido rather than in Venice, but as we were only a 15 minute boat ride from Venice itself, it was never a problem. In fact, it was nice to get away from the bustle of the city and relax on the balcony with a bottle of prosecco in the evenings.
Having looked at a number of other hotels, we don't believe we could have found a hotel of this standard in the centre of Venice for the price we paid. And we doubt we would have had as stunning a view.
Great views, friendly staff and a peaceful location. Perfect!
