Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel is praised for its modern and clean rooms, often described as spacious and comfortable, some even featuring coffee machines. Its location near the bus and train stations proves convenient, especially for travelers with luggage, and offers a less touristy experience while remaining within walking distance of attractions, though some find the walk to St Mark's Square a bit long, suggesting a vaporetto ride. The breakfast receives positive mentions for its selection, despite some guests noting the use of cage eggs.
