Upon check-in we were greeted by a friendly young man who provided a map of Mestre and Venice created by the hotel. He explained the recommended sightseeing course and told us exactly which bus to catch (4 or 4L), where to catch it (really close to the hotel) and where to buy discounted bus tickets at the tobacco shop in front of the bus stop. A friendly maid cleaned our room and shared bathroom each morning and changed our towels. We were surprised at such amazing service for a budget hotel!!
Nearby are 2 huge supermarkets. There is also the largest Naturasi organic supermarket we ever saw a bit further down the street if you are willing to walk. There is also a coin laundry facility in the next block.
Our room wasn't perfect though. Mosquitos frequently found their way into our room, the dresser drawers were dusty, and our "double" bed is actually 2 twin mattresses put together with double bed sheets laid over them. The bathtub is a bit humbug, as there is no curtain or door to keep water from splashing onto the floor and the water pressure was low and the water was not hot enough.
In spite of the negatives, for the price, awesome location and friendly staff I would definitely stay here again!
