Soggiorno stupendo per tutto.
Pros:

La posizione fantastica come anche la colazione, ottima per qualità e quantità. Bellissima e confortevole la camera forse un po’ piccolo il bagno. Assolutamente consigliato. Ottimo anche il rapporto qualità prezzo.

Cons:

Peccato che sia stato solo per una notte.

Lo consiglio
Pros:

Cordialità e disponibilità del personale, ottima colazione. Bella posizione. Vista sul porto dal terrazzino. VV

Cons:

Camera single piccola. Ogni sera la ricerca del parcheggio gratis era una caccia al tesoro. Parcheggi privati cari.

Great room and an unbeatable location.
Pros:

Lovely room with a beautiful sea view. The location is superb, right by the old town and within walking distance of everything.

Cons:

Parking is a bit pricey. The over street parking area was 13 euros for one night (17:00 to 11:00).

Sehr gutes Hotel mit toller Lage!
Pros:

Tolle Ausstattung und sehr gute Lage. Freundliches Personal. Das Hotel hat einen Pool, der gut gepflegt wird , und genügend Sonnenliegen. Zum Strand sind es ungefähr 15 min zu Fuß. Gutes Frühstück. Gerne wieder!

Cons:

Gegenüber liegt der Hafen. Cargo Schiffe lassen dort ihre Diesel Hilfsmotoren laufen, was zu permanenter Lärmbelästigung führt. Die Zimmer mit Meerblick sind toll für Sonnenuntergänge, allerdings sind vor dem Hotel mehrere Restaurants, bei denen der Lärmpegel auch bis in die späten Abendstunden hoch ist. Wer aber eine tolle Lage und Ausblick zentrumsnah sucht, muss leider diese Themen akzeptieren.

Modernes gut geführtes Hotel in wunderschöner zentraler Lage.
Pros:

Schönes sauberes modern eingerichtetes Hotel in hervorragender Lage direkt am Meer und nur wenige Schritte von der Innenstadt entfernt. Wir hatten ein sehr ruhig gelegenes Zimmer in einem Nebengebäude. Das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr vielseitig und lecker. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

Exceedingly accommodating staff
Pros:

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to The Ideon Hotel. After having to make many changes to dates because of circumstances beyond our control we stayed for 7 days in May 2026 and found the staff exceedingly accommodating. especially Maria in Reservations. We have booked a longer stay in 2027. One of the major advantages of the Hotel is its proximity to the Venetian Harbour and the Old Town, both of which have many excellent restaurants. The Old Town also has great shopping facilities and the beach is a short walk from the Hotel. For those who prefer to stay close to the Hotel it has an excellent Restaurant, Arbona, and we particularly enjoyed our pre- and post-dinner drinks in the Separe Bar at the front of the Hotel where you can sit and "people watch".
