Mestre..not the most attractive place but the hotel is only 2min walk to train station! its the best transport to get to Venice,its 1euro per person each way. so please DO NOT buy the 30euro ticket that last 3 days for the buses,the train is sooo much easier,a lot less cramped and more pleasant.Normally leaving Platform 1 every 15 mins.Buy tickets from man in office and stamp them in a machine before you travel..easy.taxi from airport was 28euro private hire taxi back was 45e!!
The hotel is fine.Clean bedding and room,Small rooms but perfectly fine for sleeping in, shower rooms no bath,and breakfast is usual continental,all you can eat,2 cereals croissants,poached eggs,ham etc Great coffee.
Venice an absolute rip off where restaurants concerned,expect 1 main course,1 dessert and 1 beer around £25 upwards.
There are men selling copies of designer bags(very nice too) near station,they start at 65e but you can easily get them to 15e by walking off..its great!!
Take mosquito repellent,we forgot and got bitten,otherwise its great..
Downside is the restaurant owners dont like you sitting down for just a coffee,you have to eat too..even when its obvious they have 50 empty seats and you are going to be 30mins max!
