The hotel is like an oasis in an otherwise boring neighborhood and a great escape from the bustle of Venezia. It is situated in a lush green garden but yet benefits from a bus stop across the street at which the no 7 bus (to Venezia) stops. It is also within walking distance to the Mestre train station. The staff at the hotel are amazingly friendly and helpful. From the receptionists at the check-in counter, to the restaurant staff, to the cleaning staff, all of them are eager to help. On hearing our desire to visit Padova, a receptionist volunteered to print out the train schedule from Mestre to Padova and to provide detailed information on the different types of trains and Padova sights for us. A restaurant staff declined to take a tip for bringing ice to our room and reiterated to us the importance for us to feel welcomed. The rooms are basic but very clean and tidy. The hotel boasts a Michelin star restaurant and the food there is excellent (and not that expensive either). I would highly recommend this hotel.
