Stayed here for the one day and night before our cruise from Venice, staff very friendly and explained about the bus into Venice which was only 2 Euros and goes to the centre of Town, after eating n Town and having a drink we found that the Restuarant next doo to our Hotel was better and Cheaper, the breakfast in the morning was more than adequate, and would not ghesitate to recommend this Hotel or indeed stay there again.

We booked this hotel through an agent so had no idea what it was like, we arrived monday night about 11pm and Lara was on the reception waiting to greet us, she was really friendly and told us when breakfast was and about catching the bus ( the No7 to Venezia ( get off at last stop .. Piaza Roma, about 25 mins ) and that we would need to get a ticket off the driver to get to venice and from there go to a news stand at the bus station to buy a pass for the bus and vaperetto ( 12 -72 hr ones... 48 hr ticket was about 30 euro's each but works out cheaper than paying for each trip ).

The hotel isnt the most modern BUT the staff especially Lara and Luca were as i stated very friendly and helpful, infact poor Luca was woke by myself at 1am so we could get out the front door to hunt for a lost vaperetto ticket .. THANK YOU AGAIN Luca :D .
The room was roomy enough for three of us ( myself, my 14 yr old lad and my friend) and it was clean and best of all lovely and cool from the air con and shutters on window. Also we never really heard much noise especially as the surrounding area seemed pretty quiet.
Breakfast consisted of pastries, marble cake, some cereal , rolls, sliced meats, melon , yoghurt and toast plus orange juice, water and tea/coffee was offered by a member of staff .
Downstairs we used the small bar attached to the hotel and i believe it has a nice restuarant.

5 or 10 minute walk away is a lovely little cafe we used alot that sold gorgeous cake/ice cream , drinks ect and was open untill 12 or 1am and again the staff were very helpful.

All in all we had a lovely visit to Venice and due to helpful staff we had nice stay in the hotel , oh just a word of warning , there is no lift for the hotel and we were on the 2nd floor so had several stairs to climb wich after a day in venice going up and down stairs on bridges was tiring lol but this didnt bother us really .

Thank you Lara and Luca for making our stay pleasant :D

Venice is one of those cities that is overwhelming. It could be the home of the World Hide and Seek Championships as you will discover (to your delight) when you get there. So my wife and I decided to stay in Mestre for four days, get to know Venice a wee bit, save a few pounds and ease ourselves into our visit before we moved in there. Neither of us speak a word of Italian and so we decided to book 4 nights in the Hotel Alla Guistizia because it was simple to find, cheap and everybody on Trip Advisor said it was clean. So, having googled directions from Mestre Station and printed them off; we flew down to Venice from Newcastle; (lovely flight on Jet 2) and sure enough the bus to Mestre was outside Venice Marco Polo. Buy your ticket at the automatic machine in the terminal, through the door, validate it by inserting it in the ticket machine, and away you go. We arrive at the Railway station, which is a railway station and not the hell that some over sensitive types have said, and minding our own business we walked to the hotel which is about a mile through a bit of an industrial estate, no big deal, folk have to work somewhere. If you want get a taxi... it is a short ride...we fancied the walk. So we find the hotel which is located on a roundabout and we go in and we are effortlessly checked in by a lovely young receptionist who spoke excellent English. We go upstairs, nice room, clean and this will do nicely written all over it. We shower, get changed and it is time to go to Venice. The number 7 bus stops across the road (to your left) and after buying a 3 day ticket for bus and vaporetto (venice water buses or water metro if you prefer) - we jump on, validate our ticket and head off to Venice.
Venice is far more out to see than I ever imagined and is connected to the mainland by a road bridge which goes a mile out to sea or lagoon if you prefer. We are dropped in the bus station at Plaza Roma and you are next to a vaporetto terminal. You have a choice to lob on the vaporetto, after validating your ticket, or going for an explore. All I can say about Venice is that you go for a wander, get lost, wander and wander and long story short love every second of it. it is the most amazing city on earth - so would I go to Mestre again? Well the answer is that, as a first time visitor with no Italian on a limited budget without hesitation. Once of the nice things about our trip was that we wandered over to Padua and Verona from Mestre station and did more than Venice. We always feel that the first few uncertain hours in a strange country are worth taking a wee bit of care with, so for folk on a budget this place is seriously OK. I am not sure if we would go there on a 2nd trip because having been to the utter delightful confusion that is Venice we would not be averse to travelling into Plaza Roma and staying at a hotel on one of the delightful islands or the very popular Lido Area. The further you get from the obvious tourist areas, the further your budget will stretch. A Bellini at Harry's Bar may be a tradition but at 16 Euros each, I would rather have a bottle of wine or three! Oh, if you are looking for a laundrette, there are ones close to Plaza Roma and Mestre Railway Station which are splendid. One final tip - never say to yourself "Oh that is nice, we will come back later and buy it". Venice is not a city which lends itself to retracing your steps. Oh... if you are disabled...Venice a seriously disabled unfriendly city. I am not saying you should not go....but if you are in wheelchair who areas who suddenly be closed to you. The further you go from the obvious tourist traps the better and don't whatever you do....forget your camera!

it was clean...perfect to just sleep and wake up for breakfast....close to bus no.7 for Venice, and 10 min from railway station. its quality is really good for the price. breakfast was poor in meat...but rich in croissants and sweet things. the stuff was friendly and they provide all the information you need to go to Venice main island. our room was big with bed and couch, tv, hairdryer, mirrors, air conditioning...the shower was a little old for us, but all in all was enough for arriving late and leaving after breakfast.
enjoy!
