Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 18th November 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Great staff. Surprisingly delicious and affordable pizza. But the coffee tasted like dogfood (seriously) and the juice machine needed to be cleaned (or maybe was recently cleaned--with bleach), so below average brkfst. My other complaint is the location. Only 10 minutes by bus from Venice, but there is NOTHING in the surrounding area. You have to cross a freeway from the bus stop to get there, and my room overlooked a construction site with a huge crane. Very industrial, loud traffic.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 19th October 2008 Mixed Group Age Group 4/5 Comments: The bus ride from Piazzale Roma really was only about 5-10 minutes. It's a bit tricky to know when to get off the bus though because the bus stops aren't labeled. We missed the stop when we were first trying to find the hotel. Unfortunately, I waited too long to write this review, so I've forgotten the landmark we used to find the hotel after the first time. Don't be afraid to ask the bus driver to tell you which stop to get off at for Hotel Primavera; he'll surely know. The buses run frequently and this hotel is much better value for money than the ones on the mainland. The pizza at the restaurant that's part of the hotel was amazing (and I've eaten a lot of pizza in Italy). The included breakfast was also good. Rooms were small (but that's to be expected) and very clean.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 3rd October 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Affordable hotel near airport (about 20 euro cab ride) and down the street from the bus to downtown venice. Nice dining room and breakfast included.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 30th July 2008 Mixed Group 31-40 4/5 Comments: OK hotel. Big problem was that the electricty for the whole floor went out whenever we turned on the room AC - so no AC, therefore very sweaty nights in July. Location wa good to get to island.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 13th August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Intolerable hot. Air aconditionating machine insufficient and noisy. The worst bathroom i´ve ever been. Too many insects. Good restaurant and good location.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 19th July 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: This place was cheap and so easy to get into Venice. I dont think there will be much better for price and location. Would stay again..

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 11th July 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: The hotel buds up right onto a highway and its really difficult to get there especially if you have more than just a backpack for luggage. There are bus stops relatively close to the hotel, which makes it easy to get into Venice, but not all of them are marked. The restaurant is good, but to eat cheap you'd do to buy a pizza. The staff is overall friendly, but I can't really describe my experience with them and the hotel other than to say it was kind of awkward.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 29th July 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Don't try to walk there you will never find it and you might end up walking on the free way. Call them and ask for directions and make sure you know what you are doing before you get lost , like me! Very helpful staff, the best it gets!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 16th July 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 2/5 Comments: This hostel is a 10min ride on the bus along a motorway outside Venice, the guy on reception told us we wouldnt find another hotel closer to the city - he lied! We only stayed 1 night and we found nicer, cheaper accom in the heart of the city. Would not recommend

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 20th July 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 4/5 Comments: Very nice receptionists, they are always willing to help. Nice hotel with a great restaurant for supper, inexpensive and tasty.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 5th July 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: We were on the main land but it's only a 5 min bus ride into Venice. Air conditioning was a welcome sight since it was really hot there. Rooms were clean. Overall we had a good stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 17th June 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: It was nice! Really great rooms, good character, easy access to the bus system, internet access, free breakfast, overall a great experience!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 6th June 2008 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: good location for reasonable price. On site restaurant good and cheap food, staff very friendly and helpful. Transport information and tickets available on site.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 27th May 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Judging from the price and it's close proximity to the island Venice, the hostel is a good deal. Rooms can be noisy at night as it is situated beside a highway and can be stuff and hot.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 7th May 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Just to close to the big road so too noisy even at night. Poor breakfast. Easy to reach Venice by bus but not enough buses. Staff is nice, clean hotel in general.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 3rd May 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Really easy to get to Venice from this hotel. Really helpful staff. The beds were really soft and uncomfortable. Otherwise great place. I will stay there again if ever in the area.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 3rd May 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: The personel was very friendly and helped us out with all the questions we had. There's a busstop next to the hotel that directly goes to the old part of Venice.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 29th April 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: bathroom light didnt work, but the staff were amazing and the pizza in the restuarant was the best. the location was easy and close to everything by bus.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 20th April 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: English speaking friendly and extremely helpful staff. They provided us with a map and informed us of all the buses that could be caught to reach the Hotel. The directions provided were very helpful and correct. The rooms were a little small, but Im not fussed as the rooms/linen were clean. They even let us keep our luggage there for the rest of the day in a secure storage place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Bulgaria 16th April 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Welcoming English-speaking staff. Right next to a bus stop, 7 min bus ride to town. The road is busy and noisy though. Convenient for short stays and easy access to the airport.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 30th March 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 2/5 Comments: Wow, this place... The facilities were falling apart. The heater was stuck on high on a warm night, and the staff had to turn off the heat in the entire building. There was no light in the bathroom, and the shower was broken. The breakfast consisted of stale food. On the bright side, there was a close bus stop which made it easy to get into venice.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 1st April 2008 Male - 2/5 Comments: This hotel is not really in a nice area. It is very close to the bus stop to get into Venice but it is right next to a main road and not close to anything else. Also we were told that the last bus back from Mestre was at 21:24 but it was actually 21:11 so we had to get a taxi home.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Hong Kong 30th March 2008 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: It is really a nice hotel. The breakfest is nice and the staff are helpful.I will recommend people who don\'t mind travelling 5 minutes to the island to choose this hotel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 27th March 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: The staff was absolutely wonderful! Very helpful and friendly, they made our stay great. Breakfast was delicious and the room & bathroom were very clean. Couldn't ask for anything better! Thanks for a great trip :)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 20th March 2008 Mixed Group - 3/5 Comments: This was very convenient to reach the city proper, but not very pretty from the outside. good breakfast. would stay here again if returnign to Venice.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 19th March 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: I wouldnt really consider this a hostle. It was more like just staying in a low star hotel. Its important to know that there are two places called Venice. There is the main land or Mestre, and then there is an island, the city of love, the old place. called Venice. Hotel Primavera is located on the Mestre. its like a 10min bus ride to get to Venice. It wasnt that big of a deal, i probably would have liked to be in Venice. You do have to buy tickets to get to and from the city as well as boat tickets. if you stay at the hotel primavera its better to get a 24/36 hour pass. which is little over 20euros. this pass works for both buses and boats. we stayed in a 4 person with a private bathroom. the shower was just a a drain in the floor and a nozzle on the wall with a curtain around it. Water will get everywhere. there is breakfast included. it wasnt bad. mostly just yogurt, bread roles, if you get there early enough there is meat and cheese. the people were really helpful. and very nice. they explain everything. Its really not a bad place to stay.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 23rd February 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This place was really nice - a very pretty hotel with nice rooms. Provided free towels. Couldn't believe it was this cheap! The staff at the desk were so helpful and spoke great English - they carefully explained how to use the bus system to get in and out of Venice, and stored our bags for us after check-out. The complimentary breakfast we got was truly outstanding - unlimited coffee/tea/juice, bread and jam, ham and cheese, cereal, and chocolate. I rated low on location because we had a really hard time finding it when we were coming from the Mestre train station. First, you cannot buy train tickets on the bus - you must get them at a venue in the train station. However, the drivers don't really check if you validate - so if you act cool you can get on without a ticket. Second, once you get on the 9 bus make sure you ask the driver to let you off at the Capital stop - the directions say Via Orlanda but there are actually 4 stops by that name and we ended up getting off too early and walking pretty far! But once you get there it's really easy to get in and out of Venice. I rated low on fun because it was a quiet hotel, not a fun hostel - but I wanted quiet and if you want a good night's sleep you should go there. A few small things - it's right next to a highway so sometimes the traffic is pretty loud. Also there aren't that many toilets and showers, so if all the rooms were full we would've had to wait a lot. But with all of that being said, I would definitely go back!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 10th February 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: it's not near Venice, but it's easy to take bus there. just one night staying there, cannot give a good commentation.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 3rd February 2008 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: It´s a good option if you want to be on a 7 minutes bus ride from Venice and avoid paying the vaporetto every day (which is 6 euros one way ticket or 14 euros for 12 hours). The hotel is OK, but the sorrounding is not nice,honestly.
