I had a mostly enjoyable two-night stay at Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel, with a few notable ups and downs. While the first room's air conditioning was a letdown, the staff promptly assisted me in switching to a much cooler room. The hotel is well-kept and has a nice atmosphere, although the location is a bit far from the train station, making it challenging with heavy luggage.

Rooms

The junior suite I booked had a cozy and modern design, but the initial air conditioning issue really detracted from my experience. The second room I moved to was perfect, and I appreciated the large windows that offered lovely views of Venice.

My stay at the Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel was filled with both highlights and areas for improvement. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to major attractions while being tucked away from the crowds. The breakfast was a standout with a good variety, though I was disappointed with the sourcing of the eggs, which impacted my overall dining experience.

Located just a short walk from the train station, the hotel was in a quieter area that felt peaceful. Being nearby to the canal offered some lovely views, yet it was still convenient for exploring main attractions.

I had a pleasant six-night stay at Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel, enjoying the spacious and clean room, albeit the WIFI could use improvement. The breakfast choices were impressive but served differently than the usual buffet style. The location was excellent, allowing easy walks to major sights while still providing a quieter atmosphere. However, accessing the hotel from the bus station involved climbing several bridges, which is something to consider when traveling with luggage.

Rooms

Location

The hotel is situated in a quieter, residential area, just a 5-minute walk from Piazzale Roma. It's close enough to major attractions without being in the touristy crowd, though the walk involved navigating a couple of bridges.

Dining

Breakfast choices were varied, with individual portions served instead of a buffet. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit and pastries, though I missed the usual self-serve experience.

Facilities

7.0

The amenities included a small gym with limited equipment, and I appreciated the clean environment throughout the hotel. However, the slow wifi could be an inconvenience for some.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel. The superior room I stayed in was extremely quiet and comfortable, featuring a lovely view of a canal (which made mornings even more good!). The staff were incredibly professional and helpful, although I did have a minor issue with coffee pad refills. The breakfast was impressive with a wide variety of delicious options that exceeded my expectations. The location is also ideal, being close to transport hubs yet still in a quieter part of Venice.
