Hotel Plaza Venice

The hotel's location is really good, right opposite Mestre train station. However, the staff weren't very welcoming and didn't offer much information. The room itself was quite old and the water pressure was very low, making it necessary to shower in the bathtub. The toilet area was tiny, and there was only one power outlet in the entire room, which was very inconvenient.

Environment: Quiet and convenient, right opposite the train station. Service: Warm and friendly, even when we arrived late at night. At breakfast, they even offered me a tray so I could take food up to my sick child.

The male receptionist's attitude was a bit mediocre, but the hotel really offers good value for money. For 500 RMB a night in Europe, with breakfast included, and the rooms being relatively new and in a good location, it's quite a find. If you're visiting Venice, this place is definitely an option. The breakfast isn't really tailored to Asian tastes, but it's decent enough to fill you up. It wasn't as good as the slightly more expensive hotel I stayed at, but it definitely did the job.

Excellent, highly recommend! Cleanliness: Spotless Environment: Good Service: Good Facilities: Comprehensive

This hotel is super convenient, located right across from the train station – just a one-minute walk! The breakfast was really good with a wide variety, and the staff were warm and attentive. You can tell it's a popular spot for tourists visiting Venice from all over the world. Plus, there are tons of Chinese and Italian restaurants nearby to choose from.

The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location, but honestly, everything else feels a bit subpar compared to other four-star chains like Hilton. Perhaps it's because Venice's urban infrastructure is quite old. The hotel lobby is nice, but the in-room facilities have some flaws, like certain glued-on fixtures that easily fall off. They do have both new European and old Italian standard power outlets, which is, I guess, okay. There are also a few other minor imperfections, and around 2 AM, there seemed to be a party with young people nearby. Overall, though, the location and experience justify the price. There are plenty of dining options nearby; I recommend trying some of the highly-rated restaurants for pasta, pizza, and gelato – the prices are good too. After all, hotels on the main island are even less cost-effective and have older facilities. If you have higher expectations for your experience, I'd suggest going a few kilometers away to a Hilton Garden Inn or similar. The price is about the same, the facilities are better, but transportation isn't as convenient. Otherwise, you'd have to pay double the price for something on the main island. For lower expectations, you could try other nearby hostels that aren't hotels.
