Ther is a kindly staff and good location, close to railway station. Rooms are excellent. Bus station is 200m from doors on the via Piave (main street). To Venice is 20-25 minutes by bus. Vapporetto tickets are valid.

Me and my husband stayed in this hotel on our visit to Venice. Its a very nice hotel for those who travel on a budget. The rooms are not that big but very clean and vey well kept. We had simpile italian bfast but it served well for a 2 star guest house. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is situated in the heart of Mestre and is very easy to find. Also, it takes only 10 mins by train or bus to get to Venice. Overall, we had a great experience staying in this hotel and would definitely recommend it to others.

This is more guest house than a hotel but never mind.
The rooms are quite poor equipped and the bathroom is a small - The rooms are quite poor equipped and the bathroom is worse.
The good side is that you can park your car for free and safe- even when you check out from the hotel, you can walk around Venice and later take the car.

Find a hotel across the short bridge from Venice, in Mestre. It's a lot less expensive than staying in Venice Proper. (Don't mind the prostitutes/trannies - they seemed like nice people.) The #2 bus takes just ten minutes or less.
The Famous gondola rides seemed a little pricey to me - 80 euros..
We stayed at the Hotel Montepiana, (this is the area where we saw the hookers), a few blocks from the train station and the Duomo .. Booked it on the train on the way there...no internet. Must sees: The Basilica San Marco, and San Marco Square, the Ponte di Rialto, the Palazzo Ca'D'Oro, the Palazzo Ducale/ Doge's Palace, and the Hotel Danieli, where the Angelina Jolie/Johnny Depp movie, "The Tourist" was filmed, and also the movie, " The Italian Job", with Mark Wahlberg/ Charlize Theron, the Murano Glass Museum, and the Grand Canal, etc...
