Best Western Hotel Airvenice

This hotel was advertised on Booking.com with a picture of Italian farm land and a river - convenient for the airport Well, it is a very mediocre hotel close to a motorway and opposite a very tired dated yellowed concrete shopping centre The room was clean. The beds were hard and the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool at night and failed late afternoons. We changed rooms hoping for something better The room TV was small with very limited channels Breakfast was ok but coffee was bitter- not was I expected in Italy ? Staff were pleasant and the shuttle to airport efficient It is difficult to understand how this hotel achieves 4 stars - hotels with no stars in London are cheaper and better. The hotel is sold as a convenient place to stay when visiting Venice The hotel was 1000 m (not the 700m as advertised) from the station through very tired looking neighbourhood with grass growing through pavements and roads. Not a pleasant walk especially in the heat of the day There is nothing quaint about Quattro D'altino - a man just shrugged his shoulders as he noticed my wife and son looking in his direction as he urinated in public within 50 m of the hotel entrance - not pleasant Lastly and not obvious on any websites is the terror of MOSQUITOES. We dined alfresco at a local pizzeria and were eaten alive! We spent £30 on remedies at the local pharmacy where the pharmacist acknowledged this was an issue because of the river. I believe that the traveller should be warned about MOSQUITOES on every website - my wife sustained numerous bites leading to pain and swelling. This is a very mediocre hotel in run down area that is 1000m from a station and 25 minutes by train into Venice - certainly not as advertised and detracted from our anticipated Venice experience less

You're looking for a review that gives you information on how to get to venice and not pay central venice prices right? so read on... Price: I paid £130 for two nights Location: simple really, you walk 10 minutes in a safe residential area to get to the train station...it costs you 3.60 euros per person to take you straight to central venice. the station you get off at is venice saint lucia train station. And that's it, you're in central venice. Soon as you walk out of the train station, everything is there...the canals, the gondolas, restaurants, boat taxis everything. Trains take roughly 25 minutes to get you to venice. I wouldn't stay in central venice unless the price is right. Hotel room: double large bed, spacious room, VERY clean showers and room with lovely coffee. The reason why i didn't want to stay in central is because i heard most hotels hardly have great working air con, this air con was amazing. Very powerful, especially when its summer the last thing you want is a humid room. Breakfast: i mean i would avoid this personally, we only paid 3 euros each but then again no flavour, very basic...but again cheaper then food in central venice. Now i came from Treviso airport...i did the wrong thing by getting buses and trains. Just get a taxi its 44 euros otherwise its a good 2 hours in total getting buses and trains. I would definitely return to this hotel again. Thank you less

My husband and I had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, breakfast very good and the staff extremely helpful. It was a 15 minute walk to the train station and the train ride to Venice was about 25 minutes. I would recommend it. Happy Canadian less

The woman at the front desk added a star to this review as she was funny and sweet. The reason I gave such a low review is because the room isn't clean. The orange pillows on the bed atop the sleeping pillows are stained with blotchy toothpaste or something. The sheets lay directly on the mattress, no mattress pad, and the mattress is stained with a blot of blood and bodily fluids (urine?). Any hotel that puts fresh sheets on top of that mess can't be trusted and frankly shouldn't be a best western brand. Not cool. less

We were able to checked in early, which we appreciated; Hotel it's about 20-25 minutes from VCE airport, they have a free shuttle service which you have to booked 24h in advance, the driver was very kind and also waited for us for about 10 minutes, since we were waiting for our bags; I highly recommend to schedule your pick up, taxi can charge you about $45-$50 Euros and walking with bags from the train station could be complicated; hotel its well kept and rooms are good size; breakfast was very good; they have dinner options on site, like sandwiches, pizza etc. a little bit pricey. If you want to save some money staying outside of the city this is a good option, train station (Quarto D' Andino) its about 10-15 minutes walking, this hotel is located in a residential area, we didn't want to walk late at night since you don't see anybody else around and had some fear. There are not taxi service in the area, they said it's because its a small city. transit time to Venice St. Lucia is 25 minutes, very easy to get there. After you buy your train ticket please don't forget to validate it before taking the train (There is a small machine next to the ticketing kiosk) use track #3... Near the hotel there is a Super Market and some restaurants, we tried one of them, food was okay but service was bad. ** Don't expect good customer service in Italy, just few exceptions. There was a blackout during my last night , lasted for about 40 minutes, according to them this never had happened before, they were trying to do their best to keep everybody calmed, after that the wifi didn't work until the next day. In general I can come back to this place, or maybe to Crown Plaza, since this one has the train station just behind. less
