Hotel Antica Villa Graziella - Marghera Mestre

9.6

wonderful family atmosphere. Convenient bus journey into the city.

7.8

A wonderful place to stay.It is very close to the bus station and only 10 minutes away from Venice. The staff was very helpful.

9.6

Very freindly!!!!

6.4

Very small rooms, quite complicated to go to / return from Venice. Staff members were kind and well educated. Breakfast was very good.

9.7

I stayed several times in Venice/Mestre. So far Antica Villa Graziella provided the best price/quality ratio. It is very easy to get to Piazza Roma in Venice from the hotel location by public transport. I will return there for sure.

8.0

Easily accessible to venice bus/boat. not a great many restaurants nearby but staff suggested one. Service, rooms etc gd with an adequate breakfast.

10

Everyone working there was so nice! They also help you with directions into Venice and are so detailed. The location is great to get a bus to the airport or into Venice Pza. Roma Its in a neighborhood by a big grocery store and and great restaurant nearby called Santa Anna--good prices and good food and friendly.

10

Staff were helpful in showing us how to get to Venice by bus.

8.0

Hotel staff is very welcoming. Rooms are comfortable and bathroom is a decent size. Outside garden to take breakfast is charming. It's only a 10 minute bus ride to Venice from Mestre, but during our stay, the bus was always packed to the door, which made the ride very unpleasant.

9.6

Staff was very helpful and friendly.

7.9

Good stay, but we had to pay extra cash for leaving a suitcase for some days (but this we were told only after coming back!! Shouldn´t happen!

9.8

Hotel only 10 mins out of Venice, staff were excellent, breakfast was good (including a freshly made cappaccino, yummy!). Close to bus stops and two fantastic restaurants (Giardinetto, and a trattoria further down the street that was a local favourite for good reason) We will return!

9.0

The decoration was nice, the cleaning of the room great. Is a small hotel but nice. We were not well atended by one of the receptionist - an old man - he was in the bad mood and not helpfull. The restaurant near is very good. Is very close to Veneza but the neiborhood was not very nice. The breakfast was ok.

9.9

Very nice people. Close to bus to reach downtown. Great continental breakfast with fresh rolls. Would highly recommend. Private parking was a plus. Easy on and off the highway.

5.9

The hotel was a 15 minute walk from Mestre station and was easy to find given the instructions in the booking info. A tidy home run affair with a small nice garden and dining hall, the experience was fairly pleasant, if a little neutral. The staff are pretty helpful. My only crib is that the rooms are kinda small and so is the bathroom. Overall a good experience and would be recommended to people looking for a good yet relatively inexpensive place to stay in Venice.

7.1

accueil excellent, situation optimale pour Venise, 10mn de la gare à pied, chambre petite mais bien équipée ; trés pratique, supermarche à coté de l'hotel;

7.2

OK little B&B, our room was adequately clean, bed was fine. Hotel isn’t in the greatest neighborhood, but is very close to the bus stops to go to/from Venice. Breakfast was disappointing; having very little to offer- you are better off saving the 6 Euro per person and going to the nice local coffee shop located on the way to the bus stop. Bus tickets (1 Euro per person per direction) and directions to/from Venice are available at the B&B. Limited parking is available inside the property gates, but is sufficient for the size of the place. No Elevator, which was slightly annoying having to carry our bags up 2 floors through a rather narrow staircase. Overall our stay was fine, some of the staff is very nice and all speak English.

7.1

El hotel está en Mestre a 5 minutos en autobús (la parada cerca del hotel) de Venecia, con una frecuencia de 10 minutos mas o menos. Lo elegimos porque teniamos la posibilidad de dejar el coche en el aparcamiento del mismo hotel y movernos en bus. Habitación amplia y limpia, aunque el baño era un poco pequeño con una ducha sin plato en medio del mismo (con una cortina). No tomamos el desayuno ya que hay un bar en frente del mismo hotel.

6.7

Small family-run pension-style hotel. Staff very friendly and fluent in several languages. Roonm and bathroom very small but nice balcony. Convenient for Venice using public transportation.

9.5

Excellent hotel just outside of Venice. This was the best hotel or hostel that we have stayed at in terms of information available. They had a map detailing exactly where the bus was to get into Venice (10 minute bus ride for 1 euro) as well as restaurants in the area. Very well laid out and extremely helpful staff. Free internet access on their computer, grocery store around the corner and like a 5 minute walk to the train station! Very good experience overall!

7.8

This is small, seemingly family run hotel on the mainland, not Venice island itself. It's situated in a dull suburb, but the staff have a big map in the foyer that makes getting the bus to the island a piece of cake. They also sell the bus tickets! The rooms were fine, but the staff were exceptional. All of them were so helpful and friendly and spoke fantastic English, qualities I didn't find that common on my stay in Italy. One of the girls also spoke pretty good French. A great place to stay.

9.5

Everything was like in the comment of venere.com. We knew to get a small room but it is o.k. for that price. Bus to Venice is like in description. We could have our car parked in the courtyard without extra pay.

7.3

Very lovely young italian lady welcomed us, very helpful and friendly. Good spot to stay for venice especially if you have a car. easy bus into venice, supermarket about 500m away, a couple of nice resturants within walking distance (ask hotel for recommendation). lovely breakfast in garden. Negative - triple room was a bit small.

8.9

The directions were accurate and made sense once we understood where we were on the bus line in relationship to the property location. The staff sold maps and bus tickets on site for venice 15 mins away. Very impressive.

7.6

Note that they charge 6 euro per person for breakfast.

8.4

There's no shower cubicle in the bathroom,only certain and after shower all the bathroom was flooded by water.

8.4

Small hotel in a quiet residential area with friendly staff who spoke several languages. Our room was small but as we were there only to sleep it was fine. Breakfast at 6euros was acceptable..great coffee. A few minutes walk to the no6 bus which takes you straight into Venice in 10 minutes and costs just 1Euro. Easy trip to/from airport. Buy the 1/2 or 3 day pass in Venice, great value. Burano nicer and cheaper than Merano.

8.9

It is a very nice hotel located in a quiet area close to the highway. Room was small but clean and comfy. It takes about 5 minutes to get to Venice by bus. Very, very helpful and pleasant personnel.

8.2

We stay only one night. Marghera was good for this kind of staying. Rooms was very nice and clean. Surroundings wasn´t very pleasent, but there was easy to go airport.

8.6

turism 3 bed

9.8

We arrived late on the day of the check in, and because we had called ahead, the hotel staff stayed till 1 AM. They stayed till we settled in, and were comfortable. The staff were friendly, and provided excellent service with a smile. On the day we left, the hotel allowed us to park and leave our luggage for hours after we had checked out. A very pleasent experience, one I would recommend very much. The bus route is close to the hotel, a 3 minute walk, and the hotel lent us a book (at not cost) for sightseeing in Venice. The bus number 6 and 6/ go to venice P. Roma, and this allows easy access to and from the hotel.

9.0

Very good solution to visit Venice withouth spending much, just 10 minutes' bus riding to arrive at Piazzale Roma. I recommend also the restaurant "Giardinetto", best price/quality relationship, just 50m from the hotel.

8.1

We really enjoyed our stay in Villa Graziella. For us it was ideal. We took the bus to Piazzale Roma and then the boat right to St Marco square (45 min for the whole trip). The lady who welcomed us at the reception was very friendly and knowledgable and was happy to answer all our questions. The room was basic and small, but really all we needed, because we wanted to see Venice and not a hotel room.

6.7

Well Venice is expensive and this hotel was graded correctly as a 2 star. The room was small for 3 adults and the bathroom area was small. No restaurants nearby. On the big bonus side was the helpful staff, the secure parking, the ability to get into Venice easily (bus very close and very frequent) and we found a supermarket very close by. The staff were also happy to let us use the internet to check emails etc.

9.4

Very good value hotel with extremely pleasant staff.Breakfastwas adequate,but a pity there was no fruit and only one sort of cereal. Easy access from motorway and good public transport to Venice.Pretty garden and good car parking.

9.9

Hotel Villa Graziella was clean, quiet and had a lovely breakfast. It was close to the bus stop to Venice.

8.2

If you are checking out and going to Venice, check your bags in Mestre - there are more trains to other points leaving from Mestre than from Venice and the line for bag check won't be as long

8.3

Un hotel muy agradable con buena conexión hacia el centro de Venecia. La única pega es que el baño es un poco justo y algo incómodo si vas con niños, aunque está todo muy limpio y el trato muy cordial.

7.2

this hotel fits your needs when you like to visit Venice: a place to sleep, all the information you need to get in and out of Venice. Don't expect large rooms.

8.4

We had a great stay at Villa Graziella. The staff is very helpful.

7.8

Bon rapport qualité prix, bien désservi par les bus et qui permet de régler le problème du véhicule pendant le séjour. De plus un supermarché non loin permet de s'approvisionner en eau notamment, ce qui est indispensable en été.

9.4

We had a triple room for 3 adults, which consisted of a double bed and one of the bunk beds that was pulled out from the wall. Everything was clean, including the bathroom, except my sister realized the next morning there were little brown ants all over her bed. We thought there were probably kids in the room prior who had food. The room, however, was new looking and so was the bathroom. The air conditioning does not stay on without your room key in the slot, so when you're out it's not on and hot when you return to the room. We paid an extra 5 euro for a 'buffet' breakfast, which consisted of packaged cheese, fresh rolls, packaged croissants & toast, butter, jellies, hard boiled eggs and coffee made to order. Not exactly buffet but more typical Italian. The location was outside of Venice, which was fine b/c there is direct bus service (takes about 20 min.) for one euro right around the corner. The lady at the front desk spoke great English and was very helpful with the buses and even sold bus tickets to us, as well as a sheet with bus and Venice "water taxi" info. A good place to stay if you don't want to pay the ridiculous prices for old worn down hotels in Venice. Very charming exterior, too.

7.6

Room was very small but comfortable. Would like an enhanced breakfast option.

5.8

Das Hotel liegt zwar in einer Seitenstraße, aber die Hauptverkehrsstraße und die Autobahn sind leider gut zu hören. Will man einen kleinen Spaziergang machen, befindet man sich inmitten von Hochhäusern oder Kleinindustrie, Lokale oder Geschäfte sind Mangelware. Fazit: Ruhiger Urlaub ist hier nicht zu haben.

10

très bon hotel calme avec un personnel sympa parlant français !

7.6

This hotel worked our well for us. The staff was very helpful (even helped us out with parking while we went to another hotel in Venice for a night). It's a little hard to find..you're close if you see the Holiday Inn...but if you want to save time and money for a night before venturing into Venice it's a good place to stay. We had a little trouble with thin walls, but overall we were happy with this cute hotel

8.9

Had a great time in Maghera at the Villa Graziella. It's very easy to get to venice by bus, the station is only a few minutes away. There is also a supermarket just around the corner. Best hot chocolat i ever got in italy!=). We certainly stay there again, next time we visit venice.

10

It was the perfect hotel room and staff. The only problem is finding the place, as the directions given are not accurate (e.g. what exit to take). Due to signs placed at roundabouts, we found it anyway, but almost by accident. It is quite easy to take the bus into Venice, and two nice restaurants near the hotel were delicious and inexpensive.

9.9

Nous étions un peu loin du centre de Venise, mais le transport en commun est très bien organisé et ça allait très bien. Et ça coûtait beaucoup moins cher. Les gens à l'accueil sont vraiment gentils.

9.8

Eccellente scelta per visitare Venezia, ad un prezzo accessibile, senza avere lo stress del parcheggio, potendo usufruire di un ottimo servizio pubblico a due passi dall'hotel, i titolari molto gentili, offrono accurate informazioni sul come muoversi.Ed a Venezia, pranzo al sacco, servizio pessimo e caro nei ristoranti, la maleducazione e la ricerca di fregare gli stranieri la fa da padrone.

8.4

rooms small but was expected

10

An excellent place to stay if visiting Venice, especially by car, as you can leave your car in a safe place and catch the local bus down to Venice. Would definitely stay there again. A little home away from home.

4.9

Friendly hotel, good service, noisy small room for 4 persons, noisy location (loud traffic)

9.7

A good place to stay for a reasonable price-I don't think you could do much better for the price.

8.6

I and my wife rate our general stay at hotel Villa Graziella almost excellent. I would have been excellent if the breakfast had been the he most common for turists travelling in modern Europe and especially in Italy: More nutritious breakfast with real bread made in process of yeast - what italians and most continental inhabitants eat each day and are used to eat, something else than just marmelade such as cheese or meat on bread, to that yughurt or processed sour milk, orange juice and boiled eggs. Car park could have been more easy to use without the risk me to have change place for it if another guest must use his car. To that, we hade some difficulties to find your hotel, dispite correct adress and travel plan. We hade to ask twice for correct way to take just before Venice. But, overall, we are most satisfied with you and your competent personel. Nice room with air conditioning. Most regards, Doctor Lars Hellström, Sweden

9.2

My family and I really enjoyed the stay in Villa Graziella. Everything was excellent: the room, the breakfast, and the people. Special greetings for Roberto. Villa Graziella makes our stay in Venice unforgotable!

8.7

We found the hotel a good cheap hotel. The description for the bus from the airport to the hotel was not correct. Last stop for bus 15 was a few hundred meters from the hotel.

9.5

The bathroom had a horrible oder at night. It was necessary to close the door and open the window fully. It was terrible!

8.4

Hosts were very friendly and helpfull.The property is like an oasis to retreat to after visiting Rome.

10

Très bien située pour accéder à Venise par autobus. Proche d'un arrêt d'autobus. Quartier résidentiel sécuritaire. Un petit hôtel très coquet. Les hôtes sont accueillants et parlent bien français en plus de l'anglais. La chambre était petite, mais très propre. Le déjeuner estun peu limité dans les choix.

8.5

Bel hotel. Bien situé à environ 15 min. d'autobus de Venise. Petit déjeunée très acceptable avec un excellent chocolat chaud. On nous a bien acceuilli et donner de très bon conseils pour notre séjour à Venise le tout en français.

8.5

Excellent séjour à Venise grâce notament à cet hôtel, à l'accueil de son personnel (en français..). Une trés bonne adresse, à recommander

9.3

The staff was very accomodating and the breakfast featured excellent coffee. We enjoyed the nearby shops and made it into Venice effortlessly and with a 3 day transportation voucher. The only public area was the dining room; a small and quaint inn, but we would stay here again. (It was a little difficult to find, off the freeway, but we made it in the end!)

8.0

Stayed there recently. Good place if you are driving to the Venice area as parking is included. Bus to Venice doesn't take too long (about 15 minutes or so). Overall, this is a good value.

8.7

Very convenient place to leave the car parked and take the bus into Venice. As soon as we arrived we were advised which tickets to buy for the bus and water-buses. We especially liked being able to get drinks during the evening (tea, coffee, etc) to take to the room.

8.2

Villa Graziella did not disappoint at all. Very welcoming & helpful, cosy atmosphere ("convivial" is the appropriate French word).Efficient public transport to Venice. A bit of a nasty smell in the bathroom, but once you opened the windows this quickly disappeared and it's NOT the hotel owner's fault.

10

lovely people. The breakfast bread and coffee excellent!

8.6

Everyone was very friendly and helpful with whatever requests we had. Should I have the opportunity to return I would stay here again.

6.9

difficult to find, but this is due to the area. place is clean but small, breakfeast good and sufficient. nice people, can sit outside. good if traveling by car, other wise go to venis and stay there.

6.2

Ci vorebbe un'altra mappa per indicare la strada dell'albergo il cui è molto difficile da trovare.

8.9

Great place to stay.

9.9

Un lugar limpio y agradable. Muy bien comunicado con Venecia en transporte público. El trato fue estupendo y nos facilitaron todo tipo de información turística.

9.8

A very nice hotel , well located with friendly people.

9.8

Stay for two nights in Mid-July 2004. Excellent place to stay if you don't want to be right in Venice. The bus ride to Venice is about 10 minutes and the bus stop is close. We are a family of 5 and needed two rooms. A triple (rm 3) and a double (rm 2). The triple had two twins and a cot making it a little tight on space. The Double was fine. Bathrooms are very modern and the rooms are clean and comfortable - Quiet A/C. Staff was extremely friendly and hardworking. You can tell they want to make your visit pleasant. There was some work occurring on the outside of the building that started at 8am, otherwise the place is quiet w/o street noise. (It's in a neighborhood setting). Arrived via car - parking was free in a gated driveway next to the place. I left the car on the street right in front because of the building work. It was right in front of the door and I had no worries. Would recommend highly if you are not staying right in the heart of Venice.

4.6

The hotel is situated in a quite area however the surroundings were not very pleasant. Very convenient access to Bus for Venice (5 min walk). Breakfast served very poor as well as the bathroom in the room very crowed and not easy to use.

6.4

We had a pleasant stay at the property.

9.3

Trés bon accueil. L'hotel est à 5 mn d'une station de bus directe pour Venise. Séjour parfait.

9.2

Hotel charmant à 10 min de bus de Venise. L'idéal pour ne pas utiliser la voiture et se loger à un prix très intéressant par rapport au centre de Venise. Très bon accueil.

7.9

Friendly, informative staff. Convenient to bus & train. Room was very small, but we didn't spend much time there so it was ok. Great neighborhood restaurant in walking distance. Enjoy sitting in the front garden if the weather is good.

7.3

Villa Graziella is very convenient for day trips into Venice via bus; the stop is nearby, and it's a short ride. It is also very economical and provides free parking in the driveway (you may need to leave your keys at the desk). The staff was welcoming and helpful. But the rooms are very small, and the shower facility was a wrap-around curtain between the sink and the bidet! Amazingly, this worked adequately without flooding the bathroom floor, but it is spartan at best. An adequate option for the budget conscious.

7.7

The hotel is for a visit of venice very central. The people from the hotel where very friendly. There were not many restaurants in de neighborhood.

7.5

Very nice people. Excellent informations on what to do to facilitate our visit. Great coffee in the patio. Small room but very clean. The area is really not touristic. It is great surprise to have such a quiet hotel in the middle of a residential area. Recommende it. Advise: make sure you get detail directions because you can pass by and not see the hotel.

9.9

The hotel is in a very convenient location for getting to Venice by public transport. The staff were really helpful in providing all kinds of information that tourists might want. Good value for money close to Venice.

8.7

excellent acceuil, compétent, avec tous les renseignements et facilités, parle français, proche du bus pour Venise, petit déjeuner copieux, très propre, avec juste une douche un peu étroite, mais suffisante pour se laver.

8.9

The directions to find this hotel were really clear and all the email communications with the proprietor were welcoming and helpful. We were a little late in turning up but they were waiting up for us. The room was a double with a put u up bed but was perfect for us and our 9 year old. The directions and help to visit venice and even go to our next location were excellent and we could not have asked for a nicer stay. Would definately use again

9.5

Villa Graziella is an oasis of civilisation in a rather run-down suburb. We were glad to find somewhere near enough to Venice (a 1 Euro bus trip into the city) at a reasonable price. Our only problem was that we had to decide whether to sleep with the draughty airconditioning on, or to cope with the 40 degree temperatures that were around at the time. The host was extremely helpful with local information.

8.2

Breakfast offer very limited and average in quality. No telephone available at that time in the rooms. Very nice welcoming.

8.0

Overall, this property was as advertised. It was easily reachable from the P.le Roma by the #6 bus, which let off two blocks away. The owner recommended a delightful, though slow, restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, circumstances with their credit card machine used up most of our last Euros. The owner quoted the taxi rate to Marco Polo as 20Euros. It was actually 31Euros and after spending the last of our cash at dinner, we then had to walk to the Marghera/Mestre train station to catch a bus to the airport. None of this was the owner's fault, just lousy circumstances. The shower in the room was simply an L-curtain and water was all over the floor. Being tired and ready to fly home, we didn't much care, though. The owner was very kind and attentive, which in and of itself was a bonus. We were extremely pleased to have air conditioning!

7.8

Hotel is fine for visiting Venice, bus service convienient and car parking at hotel. Rooms small but OK.

7.9

The staff are really friendly and very helpful. It is a great base for taking public transport into Venice (cheap and regular service) and easy to get to the airport. Breakfast is unexciting, but do try the San Anna restaurant 5 mins walk away - great food, big portions, friendly staff, much cheaper than eating in Venice and a good place to recover after a hard days sight seeing
