Best Western Plus Hotel Bologna

Apart from a few stray pubic hairs in the bathroom, everything about our stay was excellent, from the friendly welcome to the super comfortable room (superior double). The breakfast was a typical Italian hotel breakfast, not fabulous but adequate. less

Stayed here after our cruise and loved it. Location is in central Mestre, about 15 minutes away by bus from the island of Venice. Plenty of restaurants, shops and supermarkets in walking distance. The train station is 1 minute away, which made our day-trips to Padua and Verona very easy. Breakfast is great, rooms very clean. Totally recommended. less

Staying in Venice means that i have to deal with lugging my luggage on stone pathways and over footbridges. After having experienced it once before, i felt it was definitely not worth the effort to do that again, even though that meant i needed to stay somewhere away from all the action. Staying in Mestre at Best Western was a good compromise. Check-in was a breeze, the receptionist spoke perfect English. The room was modern and spacious. It even had a big bathtub!! Hotel room of this size with similar facility is probably hard to find in Venice unless it's like a 5-star hotel that costs double the rate of this hotel, if not more. In terms of breakfast, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the wide selection of offerings. In terms of location, the hotel is just across the street from the Mestre train station, a short 10-min train ride will take you to Santa Lucia train station. Trains between the 2 stations run until midnight. Being so close to train station also meant that it could be noisier. Also, this hotel had one of the worst smell of cigarette smoke amongst all the hotels i had stayed at throughout my trip. This may not be as ideal for people who are sensitive to cigarette smoke smell or for light sleepers. less

We have been to Venice 5 times and have always stayed at the Hotel Bologna. We love the convenience to the train station (across the street) which provides quick access to Venice. It’s so much easier staying in Mestre and not having to get to a hotel in Venice and walk from a water taxi to your hotel with all your luggage. I never hesitate to recommend this hotel to friends and family. It is Venice the easy way. All amenities, are first rate, this is a business hotel, they know what they are doing. Full breakfast and restaurant is available any time. Comfortable, clean, contemporary furnished rooms and full service bar and lounge makes this the perfect option for a hotel in Venice at a very reasonable price. less

We were looking for accommodations close to the Marco Polo Airport and after reading reviews on The Best Western Plus we decided to book two rooms before and after our cruise. It was a good decision, and we would stay there again. Our rooms had adequate space, comfortable beds, and clean bathrooms. Be aware that when you check out you have to pay a nominal occupancy tax per person. The main island, cruise port, and Marco Polo airport are easily reached by taxi, bus, or mass transportation. For accommodations away from the masses choose the Best Western Plus Hotel Bologna. less
