beautiful hotel within easy reach of st marks square.would definitely stay there again
 
From: Paul O., Powder Springs GA USA
Date of Stay: November, 2006
This hotel is "as advertised". While we were not here during the peak summer season, we did enjoy the location. It is convenient to the excellent Venice transportation system (12 euro for unlimited 24 hr access). Easy to get to all of Venice. The continental breakfast is more substantial than what we experience in the US. Room was large with a King size bed. Only very minor issue - no washcloths - only "facecloths" (American handtowels). Would recommend to others.

Single room was very small. First room I got smelled terribly of smoke. I asked for a change, but could not get one until the second night. But...the staff is very nice, the breakfast is good and ample. The location is fifteen minutes by bus or walking to the vaporetto, then twenty minutes by vaporetto to Venice, as hotel is located on the barrier beach (Lido). It is OK if you plan to spend the day in Venice and come home when you are done touring. Overall my rating is positive.
 
From: Whitelam Jason
Date of Stay: July, 2006
Had a lovely time at the Hotel Villa Mabapa and would certainly go back. Was a bit worried, other reviews had said rooms were a let down, that the staff weren't helpful and that breakfast wasn't included. None of this was the case during our stay! Our room was lovely with half a view over the lagoon, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast (which was included) was great. The best thing about the hotel was the free hire of bicycles which made it really fun and easy to explore the whole of the lido island. Travel into Venice on the vaporette was easy and took only 10 mins or so from the Vaporette stop which was about a 10 min walk away itself. Staying on the Lido is perfect because (in summer certainly) Venice is madness and it is nice to come back to the calm of the Lido and relax. Recomended!!

Overall we were very pleased with our stay. I didn't feel like the desk staff was very friendly. We had a Jr. suite that was nice size an comfortable. It was noisy though. You could hear the people above walking on the floor and the restaurant noise late into the night was annoying - especially the head waiter who was talking on his cell phone outside our window at midnite. The Resturaunt serves excellent food but the service was poor. Our kids received their meal 15-20 minutes before us. The location is great. We enjoyed being away from the crowds of Venice and being a 5 minute walk to the beach. One negative on the location is if you have an early flight. You must take a private water taxi and that ran 125euro.

All staff members ranging from cleaner/handymen to reception were very friendly and helpful. The inclusive breakfast was very good as it had a variety of dishes on offer to cater for visitors from all countries.Very handy for local transportation. The rooms included a private bathroom, which for the price paid was very good as alot of the other hotels in the same price range in Venice itself had shared bathrooms. I would highly recommend this Hotel to anyone.
 
From: Robinson Donna
Date of Stay: November, 2004
Never having been to Venice before I was not sure where Lido was and the description of the location was a little misleading as to the time/distance to the city. Having said that we were pleased that we stayed where we did as it was away from the busy area and was a beautiful hotel. The staff were courteous and very accomodating and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would return to that hotel in the future.
 
From: Sollomi Phillip
Date of Stay: July, 2004
Very friendly staff. Rates were as quoted.Rooms were adequate and very clean. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again on my next visit to Venice(Lido).
 
From: Taylor George
Date of Stay: April, 2004
Very nice hotel for the money. Unexpected bonus: a great breakfast buffet. Down side: a bit of a walk from the vaporetto stop (half mile -- though one can take a bus). Very competent employees, good service.
 
From: Enell Ake
Date of Stay: March, 2004
I asked specially for a room with a view, my wife and myself we had a special celebration. The room we received had a view towards a an inside wall. The price level for this kind of room was absolutely to high with the result = disappointment
 
From: Iyer Seema
Date of Stay: October, 2003
The hotel was very comfortable and clean in beautiful buildings. The only problem was that it was not close to the shopping areas and restaurants as well as to the vaporetto stops. As a result, the 15 or 20 minute trek to and from anywhere became a bit of a drag specially at night when one was tired and just wanted a decent dinner. The dinner at the hotel was good, but expensive. Also it wouldn't hurt the reception staff to be a little friendlier (ie less formal). Overall a good stay, though a bit inconvenient if you're not into walking back and forth. The taxi driver was a crook who charged 8 Euro for a 2 minute ride from the vaporetto stop to the hotel and 9 on the way back. Liked the stay at the Lido island because it is quieter and more upscale, although I would probably try the main island next time just to avoid the hassle to getting to and fro. It would help if the hotel organized it's own shuttle service.

I enjoyed my stay at Villa Mabapa. However, when we checked out, I noticed that they tried to charge me more. I had to ask and they did correct it though. I booked through the internet and it asked if I have any special request. It was my boyfriend's birthday so I asked if it would be alright to deliver a birthday cake to the room. There was no delivery. I don't mind that but I think it would be better if they could tell me that they couldn't arrange it.

Sitting in the garden with a view of the laguna, Piazza San Marco in the distance, sipping a campari-soda: heaven. I have known this hotel for many, many years, back to when it was owned by two sisters. I have experienced the changes, and the growth - all postive. Rooms modern and tasteful, quiet and clean. And the water-Taxi across to the main town is part of the pleasure of the stay.

The hotel was in a perfect location and the venere website detail was spot on. I would happily recommend this site to anyone and I already have.

We booked a Delux double room.( asking for sea view...) When we checked in the employee told us that for sea view we should pay 50 Euro more per day!( while the room - delux?? ) showed us was very small. Of course we paid - but the exact price should be known in advance when booking...
