Hotel Primavera - Venice Mestre, Italy

A nice place for backpackers. The room could use a new painting, but it wasn't dirty or so, the restaurant was nice, the staff was helpful.

Worst hostel I've ever stayed in. Worst location ever and staff member (receptionist man) was disgracefully rude! We were interrailing & have stayed in many budget hostels so we could deal with minimal luxury however the rudeness we received from a receptionist when we asked him to book a taxi to a bar, our room did not lock and was extremely rude when we asked to fix it as we did not feel safe as our room was not located in the hotel but out the back In a worn out building with the windows smashed and doors that would not lock. 3 young girls hardly felt safe there!!! Also the wifi in the rooms didn't work, advertises wifi however only works in the main reception area. Whatever the point in that is I don't know. Wouldn't even stay here again if it was paid for me!

This is a cheap stopover and convenient for the city centre. Accommodation is basic, however, so the recommendation comes with a caveat - don't expect too much!

We booked a room for 3 people. We stayed in the hostle behind the hotel. The room has no air conditioning so we had to leave the window open because the fan in the room didn't do much. We were eaten alive by mosquitos. Beds were awful. They charge a seating fee at the hotel restaurant. Food was only ok. Waitress lied to me saying I couldn't drink tap water in order to try to sell me water. Wifi was slow. Overall I wouldn't stay again. It is very easy to get to Venice so I'd look elsewhere.

Location is very ideal for travellers and back packers and not for family. Very cozy and scary place. But worth for price

For the price it was fine, the only issue was that my room was packed with mosquitos so I was eaten alive.

Nice hostel in Mestre i could recommend for that price. Rooms are not very modern, but its okey for 1-2 day stay. You can get to Venice by bus, and it takes about 10-15 minutes.

It was ok. The only thing was that I shared a 2 beds room with a person I didn't know and there was just one key for both of us. The room was in a different building, although not far to the main building, but it was a bit annoying having to go from one building to the other trying to find the key or the guy I was sharing room with. The other issue was that they had just one bathroom shared between 6 rooms, so many times you had to wait a long time before you could use it. The bus is just 1 minute walking (number 5 or 19) and it took 15 minutes to get to Venice. The price was 1,50€ (3€ return).

I won't recommend this place to anyone because the condition of the hotel room is really bad due to mosquitoes and absence if any ventilation. The rooms are very small and suffocating. There were a lot of mosquitoes and I had a terrible night.

Hotel Primavera is very guest-friendly and low-profile hospitality establishment. Hotel service staff are very polite and efficient, rooms are cleaned every day, food in the restaurant is excellent and not over-priced. I really enjoyed staying in Hotel Primavera/ I highly recommend this hotel for every traveler who wants to visit Venice.

Overall offers good value for the price even for the cheaper alternatives. The lack of WiFi in shared rooms is really the only negative thing for shorter stay.

Caution, this review is about the hostel, not the hotel building(near the highway). I bet hotel section is much better than the hostel part. So... For my first night stay, I got a double room only for myself. However it was very cold, so I was already having trouble before the sun went down. I asked the front desk staff and they gave me a heater so I was relieved and went to shower, but all the lights went off when I was inside the shower. It is in the camping sight, so you can maybe imagine how scary it was for me to have no lights suddenly at all. I had no phone or nothing to light up anything, so I walked out of the shower room by touching the wall, and I went to the front desk with wet cloth I grabbed from the floor with my hairs all wet. They fixed the problem but I had to wait outside feeling very cold while they were fixing it. Then when I got inside my room this happened again. (I bet it's because the heater was taking too much electricity) And I did the same thing again. ( going to the main building asking for help, all wet) I was very much scared as I heard no one staying in that building but only myself at that time. After the second black out, they took out the heater saying that it was the reason of light going off, they said they would turn on the air conditioning.. but I thought to myself it wouldn't be possible since it was already the end of April. But they said it was no problem, and I trusted and waited. I waited until morning to find my cold white breath, because the room was extremely cold and I could never sleep all night long. It was so, so cold that I thought my finger toes would freeze... The next morning, I used my hair dryer to warm myself and also my cloth, feeling sick. Also expect that there are bugs since it is in the camping sights. It was normal for me to see two stink bugs in my small room, but when they changed my room next day for my request, I saw hundreds of ants taking over the shower room/toilet. Literally, ants everywhere. Yes, they don't kill us, but yet it was extremely uncomfortable as a girl myself. Also I bet it was pigeons or some kind of animals... such as mouse? I don't know, but they are running around on the roof so you find yourself creeped out every time that happens throughout your stay. And in the morning you wake up to the sound of birds... It is amazing if I wake up fine, but at 5 am feeling sick and cold, it didn't sound nice at all but rather annoying. But again, I'm not sure to blame this because it is a camping site. If you are totally fine with bugs, or any kinds of animal, go for it. I think as a price wise it is really worth it. Also I was NOT asked to be roomed with a guy in the same room on my second day. I bet he (30 -40 yrs old) was also surprised to find a girl sleeping next to him the next morning, too. (our beds were not connected together!) He was already gone when I woke up but he didn't close any doors... :( One door for my own room, and another for the particular section of the building. ) But this time too, I am not sure to blame this because my room was double, therefore I should have been expecting a new comer, whether if it is he or she. The staff was VERY NICE and did a lot to help me, and I really appreciate. They were so kind. However, it was not being good help :( I was very sad that I spend few days in Venice being sick and feeling terrible because of the air conditioning. I hope the staff at the hotel understands my opinion, and not get offended.

Said there was wifi but not in hostel only in the hotel. Very cold when i was there told me going to put heating on never happened so i froze all night. So i not happy with their service.

The front desk staff could be friendlier and more welcome

Very old building.

Maybe the cleanliness issues mentioned in the other reviews existed back when the reviews were made, but there definitely aren't any problems now. I stayed one night in a room with a private bathroom, and another night in a dorm room with a shared bathroom, and both were really clean. Also, I was on the second floor, and the wifi reached our room fine. I would definitely recommend it, since it's ridiculously cheap for how close it is to Venice. The restaurant had good pizza, but the pasta and lasagna weren't that great, and were small portion sizes for how expensive they were. There aren't any other restaurants nearby, and they only make pizzas at night, so try to get lunch before you arrive.

Our room smelled gross, rude staff, hair all over the sink in our room, holes in the walls, wifi doesn't reach the hotel room, not enough outlets. only good thing was it was cheap and not too bad of a bus ride.

We liked it. The hotel was clean. The staff were friendly. It was easy to get to Venice with the bus which left very close to the hotel.

Was good. Staff are very kind with me, helping when i lost my wallet (someone found in Venice and contact me to give back) Breakfast is 5 euros, not 4 as say on site. Internet only in reception. Only 1 toillet with shower for all shared roons. The roon is outside of main build. Its outside of site, but less than 10 mim by bus. Have one good supermarketing close hotel.

The hotel was only a 10 minute bus ride to the island of Venice, so the convenience factor was awesome. Upon arrival my room was absolutely freezing and the radiator wasn't turned on, even after waiting 2 hours it was still an icebox in our room. Thankfully the receptionist fixed the problem and it was somewhat bearable, but I still slept fully clothed and with 3 wool blankets on. Also if you book the cheaper rooms there is no wifi and you have to walk out behind the actually hotel building, you get what you pay for and for I would choose this again if I came back to Venice just because of the location and price.
