We arrived on a late flight (1am) so just wanted to stay 1 night in Mestre before travelling to Venice island for 2 nights. The accommodation was basic but clean, it exceeded my expectations. Great stay 👍

Very basic room, decently clean but bedding was not very comfortable
Great location to bus and train station for accessing Venice and traveling out of town. Friendly environment for all ages and everything you need in house or walking distance.
Nice Hostel closed to Mestre train station. Easy access to Venice.
Fantastic big supermarket nearby with coffee shop etc .
Nice polite friendly staff at the reception.
Lively hostel with a good atmosphere. We stayed in a private room and it was a good size with a TV and good air conditioning. The beds were not particularly comfortable and there was a bit of dirt, especially in the bathroom/shower. However the staff were very friendly and it is located a close by to the train station.
Place is at very good location.. surrounded by restaurant and supermarket as well...good facilities like luggage room . Guest kitchen... Washing room etc..
Great catch for the price for 1 night stop over. The rooms are comfy however, definitely need a good deep clean or at least new shower head and silicone , lots of dirt build up! A little gross but do-able. Staff was super nice and very helpful , hotel lobby and lounge area had a great funky vibe!
I stayed here for a night with my 3 young kids and had a really nice stay! The hostel is only a short walk from Mestre's train station, the reception/communal area is very nice (with a small play area for the kids, which is always a nice thing to have!) and there's a cafè/restaurant with a few food/drinks options.
The staff was really friendly and helpful and the room was clean and spacious.
Would definitely recommend it for a short stay!
Overall the hotel experience was good!! if your are traveling with teenagers and young adults is great, they have a lot of activities very well planned out. The only down to this stay is that they need to clean the bathrooms a little more. Other than that the hotel was very nice, super close to the train to go to Venice and lot of restaurants and shopping close by.
Great location by the Mestre train station. Convenient for getting around city for a reasonable price. Family room was perfect for our family of four and even had an tv. Only bad was the AC has stopped working earlier in the day, but was running by the time we checked in. So took a bit of time to really cool off. This was during a heat wave in Venice. Would definitely stay again.
The hostel can serve as both a hotel and hostel. It was helpful being near the train station. The breakfast had a variety of items and was more affordable than other places we stayed. The only complaint wasthe mold in the shower grouting and the scuffed up walls near the bed. Time for a little touch up.

Room is OK. Staff is very nice and helpful. Sofa bed isn't comfortable.
The staff is always professional, the lobby is active and inviting. Great value for a clean room, close to the train station. Even though it’s a busy place, the rooms are amazingly well-insulated from any noise. The coffee machine didn’t work but the staff made up for this. I recommend getting g caffe from the bar.
