Bolivar Hotel

Just returned from a week stay at the Bolivar, Found the hotel very pleasant, Very clean, Rooms a little on the small side but well equipped. the staff are all very pleasant. Breakfast wasn't a great deal to chose from but adequate. Only downside is the steps upto it .

Set one street back from the beach, where it has its own section of sunbeds, this hotel is a little gem. It’s on the main strip amid lots of nice shops, restaurants and bars. Great location from which to explore Venice. Buy a combined bus & boat ticket from La Gioconda Tabacchi just across the street. Lady there will also sort out payment of tourist tax if required. Buses to Punta Sabbioni run along the street at the back of the hotel, from there hop on a water bus to Venice or the other islands. Hotel Bolivar is spotlessly clean. Rooms ending 04 and 05 are at the front with a sea view. Rooms ending 13 and 14 are at the back overlooking the garden and small pool. Avoid Rooms ending 03, 06, 12 & 15 as these are the very small single rooms without a balcony. Breakfast is buffet style with a good choice of hot & cold food. Choice also at Evening meal, although I chose to eat out most nights. This is a great value budget hotel to which I would happily return.

This hotel is a no-go. The rooms were tiny. The bedding was old and pilled. The first room I was placed in was like a closet and the second was not a better room, but it had more space. The food we were served at the hotel was very poor quality, some type of beef in a sauce that resembled ketchup. Overall, this hotel was terrible. What I enjoyed was the short walk to the beach. Though it was chilly weather, seeing the water was delightful.

Just back from a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff is very welcoming, both on reception and in the dining room. Giselle looked after me well at breakfast and dinner time. I had a single room which did not have balcony but I knew that in advance. Comfortable single bed, modern bathroom and a TV with a great selection of channels. The buses to the bus station and to Punta Sabbioni run from the street behind the hotel. The beach which is wonderful is a 3 minute walk from the hotel and there is a nice bar there called 32 Rossini. Nearby is the Hotel Milton which has a lovely outdoor area to the front called The Terrace where I often had drinks prior to dinner back at Hotel Bolivar. I thought the food was delicious with decent variety, both at breakfast and dinner. I went half board and I was delighted I did. In terms of what you pay for this hotel when compared to what other hotels are charging in this area of Lido Di Jesolo, it is very good value. My only gripe is that the WiFi does not work in the rooms which is a bit annoying.

You need to know that there is a steep flight of about twenty steps to enter and leave the hotel and also to go down to the pool. There was a disabled lady in our party who struggled with access. We asked the receptionist if there was an easier access but were told they couldn’t offer it. The ground floor is a restaurant.
