Even though the staff was quite nice and helpfull and the breakfast was very complete, the hotel itself was not that good at all. I don't know what kind of rating they were into to be called a 4 stars, but it definetly wasn't a "propper 4 star". During my whole european tour, I've stayed in 2 or 3 three-stars-hotels... More

It looks poor for a four star hotel. Rooms not bad, but bathrooms haven't been renovated for a long time. Tasteless breakfast. Good location, close to Venice. More

The Hotel Alexander is a nice little hotel. It is located in a residential neighborhood of Mestre. I felt very safe walking to and from hotel late night. It is not fancy but it is clean. Breakfast was not that impressive. It is easy to get to from the either of Venice’s two train stations. The hotel staff is nice... More

Good Points - The hotel is located just off the main road to Venice. - Bus stop 3 mins away. - The bed was very firm. Bad Points - We were in our room 20 mins and the caretaker opened our door and just stared at me as if to say "what are you doing in there". He mumbled something... More

Had a great short stay in this hotel, the first on a tour or Italy. We found the staff extremely polite and helpful and honest. Very comortable room, it is outside Venice, but we knew that and the trip in is very accessable, and the staff explain it well. It is worth noting there are good restaurants nearby which are... More

This is a great hotel just outside Venice - 15 minutes on the bus takes you straight into the Piazza Roma. We chose this hotel as we were travelling with our car and wanted a secure place to park along with easy access into Venice. The hotel is very 1980's in decor (lots of pink and grey) but it was...

This was our second trip to Venice. Because we had our car this time, it was not convenient to stay right in the centre, so instead we stayed at Hotel Alexander in Mestre. Parking at the hotel was free, and the hotel itself was quite modern and clean, and with a bigger room than you would expect if you were... More

Nice clean hotel just outside of Venice, very easy quick bus ride to Venice. Considering the very hefty price of Hotels in Venice this is a nice alternative. In the back street you can purchase bus tickets to Venice for about €1,00 at a tobacco shop, it is easy to find as you take only one bus #12 to Venice... More

I think this hotel constitutes very basic tourist fare. Basic room and bathroom with outdated and chintzy decor. There is nothing particularly awful about it save the meal they served our tour group and the fact that you are in Mestre and not in Venice itself. But it has several things going against it from a purely personal standpoint that... More
