My wife Carrie and I stayed at the hotel for five nights during the first week of May 2017. We arrived early in the morning and Raffael at the front desk was able to get our room ready for us several hours before the 2pm check-in time. We stayed in Room #12, which was located on the second floor overlooking the canal behind the hotel and the hotel courtyard.

Ca' San Polo

San Polo

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Al Vivit

Mestre City Center

10/10 Excellent

We found this lovely small hotel in Venezia Mestre—about a twenty minute bus ride from Venice. It overlooks a charming town square with lost of evening activity. Venice was so crowded we were actually happy to get back to Mestre in the evening and dine with the locals in really nice restaurants. The staff at the hotel were great—the told us how to get around, even suggested a side trip to Padova, fifteen minutes by train. that was wonderful, an old city with old university and a medieval area.
