We booked last minute through Expedia at a cost of £80 a night which we thought reasonable for a 'four star' hotel. We needed somewhere we could park our car for free and travel into Venice.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and I had high hopes. The double room we were given was right next to the lifts and restaurant so the Japanese tourists queueing outside at 6.45am (for 7am breakfast) was a rude awakening!

The room was smelly and tired, with an 80s decor. The quilt on the bed had been recycled by turning it over and covering it with a sheet, the curtains were plastic and you were offered one small pillow to rest your weary head on.

However, the bathroom was the worst part. Still with the 80s decor, it looked like the toilet seat was the original. The extractor fan cord hung down from the ceiling into the shower and was brown with 20+ years worth of dirt build up. There was rubber mat to use in the bath/shower which I refused to go near.

The carpet in the communal areas was worn thin. The restaurant seemed to separate the 'haves' from the 'have-nots'. The cereal milk was off (another man sniffed at it before walking away) and the cooked sausages and eggs looked scary. We asked to use the internet which was a computer also from the 80s and painfully slow so your 30 mins (for 3 Euros) didn't go far.

If you're looking for a basic hotel within easy travelling distance of Venice then this is for you, however the four star rating is ridiculous and hugely overpriced.

We would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Please stay away from this hotel. Especially if you are from USA it is very hard to travel to and from this hotel. I stayed with my family of four here recently for 3 nights. It is in the middle of no where, if you don't have a car, you have to depend on taxi or bus to get to this hotel, it is very expensive. 20 Euros from Mestre Railway station. P. Roma is 10 mins. away. Hotel didn't had bus tickets. They charge you 5 Euros to use their shuttle each way to P. Roma, which you have to reserve in way advance. Lot of musquitos in the room. Yes musquitos. Hotel is very old, rooms are very SMELLY. Every other hotel in Venice gives free breakfast, except this hotel. Staff service is terrible, they are very ARROGANT. They charged me 60 Euros per night extra for my kids. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL. Do yourself a favor spend little more money and stay on the istalnd. This is not worth it.

We stayed here during a tour run by Kumuka. The hotel itself was quite fancy looking and the rooms were nice, but the bathrooms could do with a re-vamp. We were given a double room, which unfortunately stunk of smoke. We requested another room, and moved into a twin room. The single beds were the size of a queen bed, which was lovely. The restaurant was nice too.

This hotel was part of a group travel package to Italy. It was okay, kind of old with dark red colors, which made the rooms look dim. The walls were very thin and we could hear people in the next room. The staff was fairly friendly and the breakfast and dinner was mediocre. What's with the fruit for desert? I guess it's an Italian thing!

We were really afraid after reading the comments for this hotel in TripAdvisor.
The opinions weren't very good, and because the hotel was booked by the travel agency, we had no references.
My first contact with the hotel was an e-mail requesting information how to reach the hotel from Marco Polo Airport using the bus. The hotel answered in 10 min with really useful information to reach the Hotel – Bus Nr. 5 (costs 2€ per person and tickets can be bought in the airport or the bus), stop in Capital Palace Hotel, cross the steel bridge to the other side of the street and walk 300 meters. The only complain about using the Bus is that the 300 meters we had to walk weren't really safe because there wasn't any walking side and the cars passed half meter from us… But OK, this is not Hotel responsibility.
To reach the Hotel from Venice it's better to stop in Parco San Guliano. This distance is more or less the same, but it's much safer – we could walk in the walking side.
We have also read that the hotel didn't talk any other languages, but always talked with us in English without any problems, and we have also heard the hotel personal speaking French and German with other guests.
Regarding the Hotel, it's an old hotel – I think from the 70´s – with a decoration from this decade, but the hotel was very clean, and the staff was very useful. It was possible to see that the furniture has clearly signs from been used from the last years, but everything was in conditions.
About the breakfast we had also read that in some cases the hotel requested 5€/person to upgrade to continental. In our case, we had no requests about it, and we could have a continental breakfast without anything extra charged, and the food was good and everything was refilled each time necessary.
This is a good hotel to stay if you plan to be in Venice-Mestre and travel to Venice. It's the first Hotel in Mestre, and the Bus takes only 10 min to reach the island.
