Pros +
- Outstanding customer service and friendly staff, made you feel very welcomed, very good breakfast and dinners, offered free bicycles, quiet location with view of Venice lagoon, clean and comfortable bed. Being located on the island of Lido was great, BUT you have to take the Water bus or water taxi to get to Venice, Murano or Bolano whic can take up to 30 minutes depending on weather or traffic.If your looking for a great hotel to stay away from all the tourist traffic and noise, we highly recommend Hotel Mabapa. ????????
- We had 2 small bedrooms, one with a single bed and its own bathroom, and another with a queensize bed and a single, with another bathroom. There was only one small window in the main room so it was a bit dark, but we didn't spend much time in the room. Lido was lovely and it was nice to be a 10 minute boat ride from Venice, but not staying with all the other tourists. Hotel Mabapa was beautiful with a lovely pool (it was too cold to swim when we were there, but it looked nice). Our favorite place to hang out was on the second floor balcony where there were a few chairs and a table. Great for playing cards and having a spritz while looking out to the sea and Venice. The breakfast was delicious and had so many options for everyone. It was a 10-15 minute walk to the ferry which took you to Venice. We were offered a free tour of Murano with a boat ride and glass blowing demonstration. We really enjoyed this and would recommend it to other travelers.
- Friendly staff, great service. The free use of bicycles was nice, also not too far from the beach or water ferry
Cons -
- Distance to Venice.
- The decor is a little outdated….
- Everything was very nice. A very well kept older property with beautiful garden, pool and jacuzzi.

Small hotel very centralize in lido with a great view of Venice. Helpful, courteous staff. A very nice breakfast with variety fruits, breads, meats, eggs, cereals, yogurt, great selection of coffees, teas and fruit juices.
Everything was very nice. A very well kept older property with beautiful garden, pool and jacuzzi.
Reception is courteous & very helpful. They gave us a room at 10am, even though check in was 2pm, even offering free breakfast that am.Free bikes are available to traverse the island.
The location is peaceful, far from touristy center. Breakfasts were tasty. The villa itself is very beautiful. Room cleaning was exceptional, the housekeeping maid was very friendly.
We didn’t like that there is no duvet for the blanket - 2 bed sheets are used instead. Also, there were no bath robes.
Location, tranquility, style
Bathroom is small and shower was too low
Amongst many hotels on this trip, this was by far and away my favorite hotel. It was impeccably clean, the staff were so accommodating and seemed to anticipate our needs (including lunch near the pool upon arrival!) and gorgeously appointed. Little slice of heaven and the bikes were such a nice bonus. Will be recommending to all.
Lido is beautiful and this is an affordable choice right on the water! Guests can use boats keys. Extravagant breakfast.
Lovely quiet hotel on the waterfront, easily reachable from the ferry boat stop (we travelled with our car), and a short walk to the Lido S.M.E waterbus stop. Friendly staff and a large room, with bicycles available for use. The in-house parking was full (we arrived late afternoon), so we parked our car two streets away, and it was quiet and safe throughout.
We were based in one of the annex buildings where the Wi-Fi reception was poor. The signal was weak, but the actual pain point was the constant disconnecting - we were lucky not needing to rely on it/had data. The decor may be considered a little dated, but it did not bother us as the essential facilities were present.
This hotel is excellent in every way. The behavior of the staff, the room, the cleanliness of the hotel, the excellent breakfast, the amazing view, and this will definitely be my choice for my next trip.I suggest to you for your trip.
Hotel is not a 4 star hotel2/3 needs money spending on it . Breakfast no hot selection?
Bedroom in attic no windows
Nice place, big comfortable room, great staff!
Very cold, not working heating system.
Good breakfast buffets
We booked the hotel because it had an elevator since 2 of us had mobility issues, but the desk clerk gave us a room with a long flight of stairs he called a "ramp."
We were upgraded to a bigger room in the back building , with a private balcony, which was very nice.
The breakfast was excellent and had many great choices, but the scrambled eggs were always cold.
Breakfast was dissappointing... not enough seating... replacement food took long.
Breakfast seating space...breakfast variety on cheeses and cold meats extremely limited and bowls were empty...replacing it took long.
We arrived cold and soaked from the 10 minute walk in the rain from the boat dock several hours (0830) before check-in at 2pm, hoping to simply leave our luggage while we waited for our room.The front desk clerk greeted us warmly, took our bags to a storage closet, pointed out the toilet to freshen up, informed us of a free taxi boat to Murano for a complimentary glass blowing demonstration at 0945 and invited us to have breakfastWithin 10 minutes of arriving, he informed us that our room would be ready in 20 minutes. Our room was immaculate and beautifully decorated.When we checked out the next morning, my husband suggested we might return for our 10th anniversary. He'll get no objection from me!
The hotel was located on the water front - a great spot to watch the sun setting over Venice and a pleasant place to sit out on one of the benches. We really liked the seating in the hotel’s garden and had our evening meal there several times. The food was very nice and we enjoyed the home made sweets too. The staff were attentive and accommodating. Very relaxing stay overall and would definitely return to the hotel.
Good breakfast.
Bar did not open until 4pm each day. No facility for lunchtime snack
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Villa Mabapa in Lido, Venice, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff was incredibly hospitable and went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. A special mention to the manager, Michael, who truly made our trip special. He took care of everything we needed with a warm and welcoming attitude.The hotel itself is charming, offering a perfect blend of classic Venetian style and modern comfort. The beach was just a short walk away, and it was absolutely amazing—clean, serene, and perfect for relaxation.Overall, Hotel Villa Mabapa exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious stay in Lido, Venice. We can’t wait to return!
