Hotel Piave - Mestre

8.9

great place!Clean and quiet. The room is a little small. It's close to the railway station.

5.4

very small room.no cheep breakfast

7.9

A decent hotel, considering what is considered 3 stars in Italy. The price is decent - for Venice that is. The location has it's pluses an minuses. It is close to the trainstation in Mestre - and this means that you'll get to Piazzale Roma in Venice in maximum 20 minutes; but it also means that at night you can run into some spookie caracters on your way to the hotel. The room itself is rather small, but clean and the furniture is decent. The personel speak english, and are very helpful. It's a good location if you intend to spent your time visiting the city and not laying around in the hotel room all day.

7.4

We stayed here on two separate occasions separated by a week while we hiked in the Dolomites. They kept our luggage without any problems. The hotel is relatively close (only difficult with a lot of luggage) to the Mestre train station and train tickets into Venice are only 1 Euro each way. Mestre isn't the nicest place to stay but is much cheaper than Venice.

3.7

The room was small, we take the shower almost in the ( bidet) there is no space. The gentlemen at the front desk was rude. The other people at the frontdesk doesnt give us good advise, bus, ice, meal. The internet is expensive, come on we are in 2009 it should be free. I will definitly choose another hotel next time, Iam the customer, i pay their salary , i should have good service!!!

7.1

A 2 passi dalla stazione, buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Stanze piccole e calde ma aria condizionata disponibile. Bagno microscopico. Ottimo albergo per brevi soggiorni di lavoro

3.6

Hotel is not easy to find from the railway station , and you call the operator you are not welcome. Seems that during the internet booking breakfast was included and on site it wasn't.

8.8

Truly very good value.

9.0

Our room was in another building. Had prefered if it was in the hotel building. No view from window, window high up on wall.

7.2

Avery good alternative to much more expensive hotels in Venice. The hotel is near the train station and it is a short ride to central Venice. Although we asked for a quiet room, kitchen noise was very audible. Also, the walls were quite thin- audible noise from the adjoining room. We returned to the hotel two weeks later- the price quoted then was 5 Euros higher. When I noted we had been there recently and the price was 65Euros the desk clerk gave us the room at that price. The second room was more spacious and very quiet. Breakfast was extra, but worth the price.Overall a good basic bargain hotel for expensive Venice.

6.7

We spent two nights in two rooms. The rooms and bathrooms were tiny but functional.The same hotel on Venice-Island would have been three times as expensive - so for the money spent it was ok. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable. Breakfast buffet was included and lots of variety to choose from. WIFI was expensive and only available in the Lobby. Parking is 10 Euro per day. Very central - just 5 minutes walking to the Train station. Trains to Venice every 10 minutes. Supermarket is 3 minutes away

9.0

Nice and clean Excellent location good value for money only 10mins bus away from venice

6.7

Tiny room for three adult sized people - no room fro suit cases - I had to put one in the wardrobe and one on top other wise it was impossible to move in the room

6.5

The proximity to the train station is what made us choose this hotel. We only spent one night there.

8.0

Stayed in this hotel several times in different rooms and was always satisfied. Very good breakfast!!!

7.5

Hotel was fine, close (5 min. walk) to the station, where every 5 minutes a train departed to venice: ideal! Room was fine, but for one thing: when you finished showering, you had to mob the entire bathroom: everything got soaked. Ah well, the rest was all in order.

9.0

El Hotel es limpio. El desayuno es muy bueno. La pieza un poquito pequeña para cuatro personas. Los alrededores del hotel son calmados. El Hotel está bastante cerca de la estación de trenes de Mestre. Hay un bus cerca que conduce a Venecia.

7.0

The room was very small and with poor furnishing. It didn't had any carpets, but ceramic tiles. The surroundings were not so good, but there was very easy access to public transportation, directly to Venice. Although the location was good, we would not stay at the hotel if ever in Venice. This time it was ok, as we only stayed for one night.

7.2

It's OK for one or two days, but not for more.

4.8

This was my first stay at the hotel and I would definitely not stay there again! The members of the staff were always on the phone when I saw them and even when they saw that I was waiting to ask them something they ignored me. I never got to ask them anything, even when I checked myself in at the hotel the man was talking on the phone and barely could tell me the room number. The room was really really small and the bathroom was like a closet! You could literately sit on the toilet while taking a shower. The only positive thing I could say about the hotel is that it is close to the train station so it is easy to get to Venice, but the surroundings are really not nice and you better eat in Venice if you stay at this hotel because there are almost no restaurants near the hotel. And don't count on the staff of the hotel to help you with finding food, you'll be lucky if you can ask them one question.

4.3

On the part of a person of the service we did not like the treatment(deal). We were two nights and one of them with a room without air conditioning for technical problems but they have not had details since we pay the same price. The second day they gave to us the correct room that I saw for Internet. Since the first age enough deprorable. The service well, except for a person who treated us with omnipotence and superiority queriendo to have the reason always.

8.2

Stayed at Piave from 30/6/'08 to 4/7/'08 in a single room to partecipate to a congress in Venice. Excellent place to sleep if you want to visit Venice without paying Venice's hotel fares, I payed just 50 € per night which is quite good. Room was provided with a small but practical bathroom, a small table, air conditioning with its own remote control. Surroundings are very quiet and a small walk will bring you to the train station. Surely not a luxury accomodation, but well worth the price. Hotel's people have been very kind and let me leave my luggage on my last day there. If I had to visit Venice on a budget, I'd seriously consider it.

8.4

Excellent location, close to train station. Cheap option to go to Venice with a big Family. I strongly recommend it

8.8

The hotel is excellent value for money. It is a 5 min walk from the train station and an excellent base from which to explore venice. The rooms were clean and adequate. A vist to mestre town centre if possible is recommended as the restaurants offer good italian cuisine that is lacking in most of the extremely touristic locales in venice.

8.0

Good location for bus & train stations to access Marco Polo Airport,Venice & rest of Italy. Walk if you can to bus station & take bus (3Euro) to airport. No need for overpriced taxi (35Euro pp)to Marco Polo.

6.8

Miniscule room size, shoddy repairs, 1 meter square bathroom/toilet/shower, quiet street but noisy building, close to train station

5.7

not near any site seeing, but very accessable to travel to city(st.marks) Bus station is 2 mins walk and so is train station.for us accessability to travel was most imp so compromised on rest. room was v.v. tiny..and was smelling of cigerette smoke. no bathtub or ensuite..only a shower curtain :( will visit but ensure u get a better room.location is ok.

8.6

This is the perfect place to be in venezia without spend to much, in a clean, quiet and comfotable location even to make walking during the night.

8.3

It was 23:00 when I arrived "Piave". because my flight was late. I didn't want to go Venice centre at the midnight, so I booked there for only 1 night, then next day I moved to centre. I wanted "Piave" that it's near to the station and bus stop. location was a letdown. it was little far from the Mestre station. and we couldn't find there easily by the map. but next morning we got a bus stop to Venice centre near the hotel. please explain more intelligiblyon the web site. and it was quiet place so we were scared at the midnight. room was good. I requested a twin bed room. they gave us good room. a twin with big bath room. price was good. quite cheap than Venice centre. (just half price!) in conclusion, it was nice place to sleep for 1 night.

7.9

Great place to stay if you want to be close to the main island or the airport shuttle. The room was clean, staff was helpful enough. There are not many places for dinner near by... so eat closer to the train station.

6.9

This is a good budget option for Venice, although fairly basic. Very close to the railway station in Mestre (we walked with wheeled bags in about 10 minutes), which is why we stayed as we were catching morning train to Lake Garda after arriving on late plane. From our perspective, this was fit for purpose - although I would not stay here for a Venice holiday unless very budget constrained. We did find a nice Tratoria around the block (north on via Sernaglia, I think) with great food though! Rooms are small and breakfast is very basic (although can be upgraded to full buffet if required). Be warned, it gets very noisy quite early in the morning so don't stay if you like to sleep in at all!

8.1

(+)Excellent location, nice beach and water, good parking facilities. (-) No fan in the bathroom and mirror in the room. The walls are too thin, one can here everything from the rooms aside and not only... Anyway, a place I strongly recomend!

7.8

Clean, comfy room with all modern conveniences. Room was a bit cramped for two, but it provided all the essentials. Buffet breakfast was a good value. Easy access to Venezia Mestre station; surrounding area is unspectacular but it provides a taste of real life in Venice if that's your cup of tea.

1.6

We (two persons) had booked a double...and we eventually slept in a single room; well, we had the choice to move to another hotel which was 800 meters away... nevertheless, rooms are old, little and... notice that at breakfast, through internet booking, you won't have anything fresh but cell-draped cookies...

7.6

Everything was fine according to the needs of a familly of 4 although the room was very small for us all and our luggage. Would have wished for a larger room. Breakfast was excellent.

7.7

Very good situation of a hotel to visit Venece. Stayed there already 3 times. It became less "fresh" with the years but still OK. As always very good breakfast included in the price. Don't hesitate to stay there, good value for the money.

6.5

This is a good option if you have to get to the airport early - the coach leaves from just down the road. The only downside was that the bed was so soft I couldn't sleep on it! Don't book this hotel if you have a bad back!

9.5

I stay in piave only 1 night, this hotel it`s near the railway station and bus station. The room was clean, super service, a good breakfast and a good price. When I come again to Venecia, I shall stay in piave.

6.6

tutto ok unico problema stanze con i muri sottilissimi quindi bastava lo scarico del vicini per svegliarti inesorabilmente..comunque ben collegato con venezia

5.4

Canadian couple spend 3 nights at the end of sep/06. The hotel is a bit worn out and the room is samll. Standing shower in bathroom with a curtain and a drain hole. After the shower the whole bathroom is wet. Bugs in the bed, my wife got bitten on the arm and the leg. $120 euro for a double in sep. May be is cheaper than Venice. The whole area is Mestre is like that.

6.9

We only stayed at the Piave for one night, the room was spacious and very clean but was in a different building to the rest of the hotel.The only disappointment was the breakfast. Don't spend extra on a breakfast go to a cafe.

8.8

we found the hotel very convenient for public transport into venice, it was very quiet and cool. the room was attractive and clean. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of variety and plenty to eat. Best hotel on our trip around italy.

5.1

Staying in Venezia Mestre instead of Venezia should be a wise decision cos hotels in Venezia is expensive and dirty generally, and difficult to access, sometimes may need to via water bus. Just 10 min. from Mestre to Venezia by train / bus. Piave generally give a reasonable staying environment for this costing. Breakfast included but not much choices. Air conditioned also. Recommend to try this.

6.9

The advantage of this hotel is the sumptuous breakfast! The location though not very near to mestre station, it is near to the bus stop to take a bus to venice. The rooms can be bigger and the reception staff can be more friendly and courteous.

8.4

Very friendly & helpful staff and excellent location. My only small criticisms are that the room was a bit cramped and the buffet breakfast was of rather poor quality.

4.3

Compared to prices in Venice, this hotel seems like a good alternative, however I found the room a bit too small and opresive. My main concern about this hotel was a member of the reception staff that seemed to be at it at all hours: He made nasty comments in Italian when you asked for something or even lied about things you have asked when explaining to you in English. In my opinion a reception staff who can be constantly rude and unreliable in Italian while thinking you can not understand the language is enough reason to stay away of this hotel, no matter the price.

9.5

Tutto bene per una notte, ma la camera, prenotata all'ultimo momento e quindi ad albergo quasi completo, sarebbe stata veramente un pò troppo piccola per tre persone per un periodo più lungo di permanenza.

8.1

A good hotel of those who do not want to stay in Venezia itself. Close to the railway and bus to airport.

9.3

Very comfortable quiet room. Perfect for visiting Venice.

8.2

Very good hotel, strategic location in Mestre, close to the train/busstation that can take you straight to Venice. Hotel staff all very helpfull and English speaking. Rooms somewhat small, but everything what you need is there. Small but functional private parking space behind the hotel. Also a fantastic italian restaurant around the corner (has blue lights on it). Best restaurant I have eaten in years. I will definatly go back this hotel again and I recommend it to anyone!

9.7

The room was spacious and beautifully furnished. Beds very comfortable. The breakfast that was included was wonderful, better than expected. All around a great value, close to the bus and train stations without being noisy. easy to get into Venice proper. Would highly recomend this property.

8.5

We enjoyed our visit and this was a very convenient and economical way to see Venice. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was excellent. The map was not quite as detailed as I would have liked. We got a little lost finding the hotel, but the signs along the street really helped. The map in the train station is a little confusing also. Our only real complaint was the shower. It was hard to keep the bathroom dry.

7.8

Excellent location, close to the railway station, easy to find. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they provided all the info we asked for. The room was very small, but clean. Unfortunately one can hear everything's going on in the corridors and next door. If you want to sleep late, forget it! Excellent breakfast, in a cosy atmosphere, lots to choose from!

6.2

It was clean but noisy. The room was tiny and the receptionist wasn't exactly nice. The breakfast was lovely and the area is just fine.

6.9

The hotel was convenient to bus and rail lines. The staff was courteous and professional. The single rooms were a bit tiny.

7.3

En general, está bien dentro de un nivel medio. Solo una cosa no nos ha gustado: El desayuno está incluido en el precio, pero al llegar te informan de que hay 2 tipos de desayuno: el continental (incluído en el precio) y bastante pobre y otro de mejor calidad, por el que hay que pagar 5 € más sobre el precio acordado. Please, only one breakfast, even if is necessary to pay a little more¡

7.7

Room was small. Difficult to shower because had to hold shower head by hand. Breakfast room was pleasant.

9.8

We recommend staying in the annex where the rooms are very spacious, modern, and have all modern conveniences. The staff was VERY accomodating and the price is EXCELLENT for being so close to Venice. Bus #2 is one block from the PIave and takes you to and from Venice; and it runs every 15 mins. Excellent value!

8.3

Several signs in the neighborhood indicate the direction to the hotel, which is good, because it lies on a small, out of the way street.

2.0

The hotel was of VERY poor quality. The rooms were dirty, poor choice of breakfast, the windows in some of the rooms could not be opened. Very disappointing.

5.3

We don't recomend you to stay this hotel, because the bath room is very small and the soundproof between the rooms is too bad. It may be because we visited at low season but breakfast was also no good. In any way, I can say that it is not worty to stay hotel with paying high rate even at busy season. I think ranking for this hotel (three stars) is overestimated as with other almost hotel in Italy.

4.9

This hotel does not deserve three stars - two maybe.

7.5

A pleasant hotel in a quiet location and very convenient for the bus and train stations. Breakfast is typically Italian with a good selection of breads, cakes, fruit etc. Although the bedrooms are small (beds were comfortable)we thought the hotel was good value for money. Mr & Mrs Grace

7.4

Quite small hotel, hard to find by car. It was, however, clean, functional, and quiet, and was near the train station. With full set of bags for each traveler, the room was small. A good buy at the price.

2.8

the room had 4 beds in it which totally filled the space - very uncomfortable - there was mildew in the bathroom and no separate shower space - so taking shower resulted in soaking wet bathroom - our reservation was not there when we checked in - very noisy - too hot

9.8

Venice is easy reached by No2 bus 2euros rtn 20mins.The hotel room, 2adults 1BIG 16year old son was comfortable. The area around the hotel is quite. Staff very helpful and friendly.

7.9

Hotel is situated close to railway station (5min), but not on the main street. People in hotel are frendly, breakfast is rich, and there is a safe place for car in the backyard. Rooms are small, but clean,and our room was with air-conditioner. A problem can be noise from next door bathroom.

7.7

This was the perfect homebase in order to visit Venice. Accommodations in Venice are way overpriced. This place had a great rate and was only a 10 min bus ride right into Venice. The rooms are a little small though. But the staff at the front desk were wonderful (especially Andrea (sp?)), and the breakfast was great. I would highly recommend staying here while visiting Venice!

8.0

The Hotel Piave was easy to locate and the staff was very friendly. We drove in so having parking available was perfect. The room was small but we were only there to sleep - clean room, big bed, clean bathroom etc. Great breakfast included. The hotel was very close to the bus that took us directly to Venice for only 1 euro. Not too many restaurants handy but there were a couple. we would definitely stay there again were we to be in Venice.

8.7

Very nice location, just a short walk with luggage to the train station for the 7 minute trip into Venice. We stayed here only overnight, as a way station between a late evening arrival at the airport, and proceeding into Venice the next morning.

10

Everything was as described on the Venere.com web page. The service was efficient and friendly. The rooms were very clean. The airconditioning worked well. The location was extremely convenient. The buffet breakfast was fine. Would definately stay here again.

9.4

We liked this hotel, which is located 15 minutes from Venice by bus. Staff is friendly, prices match of what was quoted, breakfast is good. Parking place may be booked for 5 euro per day, although there are not many spots. Disadvantages: - noise in adjacent rooms, you will hear draining water - Rooms are small

9.8

Excellent value hotel. Clean rooms a little small for three people.Excellent breakfast Easy location;Bus #2 goes to Venice and the ride is 15 minutes long. .

8.5

My only issue was I was led to believe there was internet access available for guests and this was not the case.

6.9

La chambre est petite et il n'y a pas beaucoup de rangement. Les chambres ne sont pas très jolies. Pour le prix c'est décevant. Il y a très peu de places de stationnement (3) devant l'hotel. S'il n'y a pas de place, le garage de l'hotel est payant 5 euros par jour. Il y avait l'air climatisé et une petite télévision dans la chambre. l'hotel est situé près d'un arrêt d'autobus (2 min à pied) et on arrive à Venise en 15 min avec l'autobus # 2. Le petit déjeuner buffet était très bon. La localisation de cet hotel par rapport à Venise est son point fort.

8.9

The quality of services was good. The breakfast was great, we had several choices. Only one problem the service the parking is not included and we had to pay 5€ by night.

9.8

The room was clean and quiet. Train station is close, so is rent-a-car office and entrance of autostrada. We were quite satisfied

7.1

Good breakfast choices. Easy walking distance from station (Mestre). Room size small but ok for 2. We had 2 rooms for 4 people.

9.9

Very nice and the price great. Large room and very clean.

7.4

Nice location, good breakfast and friendly staff. The only problem I had was the noise done by the next door couple. I would stay at this hotel again.

7.5

The hotel was within 5 - 10 minutes walking distance from Maestre station in a residential area. It was clean and the lobby and breakfast rooms were well designed and attractive. The breakfast was excellent and the service was good too. The guests were mostly couples or groups of more mature friends. The only thing we did not like was the size of the room and the bathroom. It was unbelievably small. However when we requested they gave us another room the next day which was atleast a slightly comfortable size. Definitely good value for money.

5.6

AS we were only in Venice 2 days we did not spend a lot of time in the hotel but we found it to be adequate. The staff were very good in all departments, breakfast was good, rooms very small and walls between corridor and room not at all sound proof. Bus stop was easy walking distance from hotel and the trip to Venice approx 10 minutes.

10

We were very pleased with accommodations at Hotel Piave in Mestre. We only stayed one night enroute from Florence to the Venice airport. We were assigned a non-smoking room, as requested, which was very clean and had an excellent buffet breakfast the following morning. The hotel is located within walking distance of the Mestre train station and the bus to Marco Polo Airport. We had checked other hotels listed on the internet and Piave was the only one with a modest price as well as having breakfast included. We definitely recommend Hotel Piave.

3.9

The receptionnist of the afternoon of my arrival has been quite rude! The bathrooms are ugly and the Hotel is really noisy: I heard all the conversation of my neighbours.

8.1

Very nice little hotel. Within a few blocks of the train station to Venice. About a 5 minute walk. Keep in mind that Air conditioning is not allowed to be on until June 1st of the year and the walls are relatively thin so noisy neighbors can be heard and can disturb sleep. The shower was very odd. there was a tub with no door or curtain and a hand-held showerhead attached to the wall in such a way that water would get all over the floor.

4.5

It was o.k, but just o.k. Room was tiny and the directions to hotel were difficult to follow. Breakfast was lovely and staff were nice. I accidentally left some property in my room and am still having great difficulty retrieving it. Staff have been slow to help in this regard.

5.9

Room and bathroom very small. Breakfast OK

6.8

We were most pleased with Piave's location, relating to the RR station & our ability to get into Venice. We always seek bed & breakfasts plans where we stay & were quite satisfied with Piave's offerings & the concenient time slot for breakfast. However, after meeting a European couple staying there in a room like ours, we were upset to learn they paid significantly less for their B&B accommodations than we did. Do Europeans offer better rates to Europeans?

8.1

Good for budget travellers as its excellent for price/quality. Nice value for 3 star hotel. Make sure to find the check-in time as we reached at 11 am and had to wait till 1:15pm to get the keys as the room was being serviced. Nice staff, well behaved and nice dressed, speaks english. Nice Breakfast, unlimited. Well connected to Mestre Rail and Venice. Good frequency of bus to Venice(bus no.2). Journey time is 10 mins from hotel to Venice(Porta Roma). Buy a travel card valid for 24 hours(Euro 10.50) and will cover bus and water taxi. Avoid travelling on Gondola or private taxi...pretty expensive. Also avoid buying or eating at St. Marks Square. Dont even dream of sitting on one of those chairs at the square where music is played. They will rip you off. Will recommend this hotel to friends.

9.6

Hotel's location is excellent, very convenient to get around. Closed to bus stop, train station, restaurants, markets and most important Venice (5-10min. on bus#2)

8.1

A good room for the money. There was a very nice buffet breakfast. The staff was competent and helpful. I had problems with the phones (rotay rather than touch-tone).

9.8

The service and facilities were excellent and we were very content with the quality of the hotel, services and the employees, who were friendly, helpfully and make us feeling at home. Also this friendliness unforunately couldn't stop the rain, but made them endurable....we will sure come back to this hotel at our next visit to Venice, which sould be very soon... PS.: Excellent "Noise Level in Room" means that it was very silent.

8.6

The hotel was very easy to find because it was so well marked on the road. Just look for the yellow sign. The service was competent and the room was smaller than we thought, but comfortable and very clean. It was a relief the return to Mestre from Venice, because we found Venice so intensely touristy, whereas Mestre was much more typical of Italian life. The breakfast was good and varied with meats, bread, juice, coffee, yogurt, cereal, milk, fruit. The breakfast room was very nice. Basically it was everything a three star hotel would offer. When we needed a taxi at 5AM in the morning to go to the airport, it was arranged and there on time, though I think the driver bumped up the price 10 Euro. Get the price confirmed before you take the taxi. If you want to buy food to eat in the hotel, there is little in the way of stores, other than very small in the area. There is a PAM Supermercato, but it is 20 to 30 minutes walk down the road. Past the statues, past the Centro Scarpa shoe store, then turn right for about 5 blocks.

9.2

very very convenient

5.6

We stayed at the Piave on Mar 6, 2004. We stayed in a triple room with one king bed and one single. The non-smoking room reeked of smoke and had a heavy "cleaner" smell that was an attempt to cover the smoke smell. The bathroom was VERY small, with a drain in the floor for the shower--don't trip on the toilet! There was a lot of street noise and noise within the hotel itself. On a positive note, it was very convenient to the train station, and the breakfast and breakfast area were nice. The employees were also helpful.

9.2

An excellent hotel in Maestra, near Venice

6.2

The Hotel was reasonable and satisfied the need to be near to Venice,and was value for money. A little too much noise could be heard from adjoining rooms bathrooms.

8.1

We liked to stay there and especially the breakfast-buffet is really great!

9.9

We stayed in a new room that was next door to the main lobby. It was very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. The train to Venice was within walking distance. We would defintely stay here again.

4.9

Not a terrific location, but worthwile if you need to be close to the Mestre railway station. Otherwise, the rooms are small and not very nice. We paid a $100 Euro, and didn't feel like it was worth it atall.
