Hotel was great. Literally across the road from the train and bus station. Very clean and friendly staff. Breakfast is a must at 4 euros per person, it is great value for money! The train to Venice is a 10 minute train ride and was very cheap to get there. Roughly 1€ 30 each one way. We realised that when purchasing tickets, before you pay take a mental note of the train number, it helped with finding the platform. Trains are very prompt and where quite often a bit earlier than time stated. You have to stamp your own train ticket, these are the green machines dotted around the platforms. Mestre is also a lovely place when you get in the main square. It was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Be sure to take some good shoes.. we walked 53 mile in 2 1/2 days! Burano is also a beautiful place to visit if you get chance. It is an hour boat ride because if stooping to drop off/pick up at the other islands. The water taxis (bit like hop on hop off buses) take you there. A 24 hour pass for boats and buses is 20€ each to be used as many times as you like. You can pay more for more days. We didn’t do the museums because we ran out of time but that was 25€ each for all 4 museums. Overall, great hotel. Great location. Venice is beautiful and we will be returning.
