Mondial in Marghera

My stay here was extremely disappointing. The room was unclean, the shower had only freezing cold water, and the door didn’t lock, which felt very unsafe. Staff at breakfast were unfriendly and unwelcoming. The food was terrible honestly, not even suitable for animals. Most concerning was the dinner. We were served pork schnitzel without being informed it was pork. I have a pork allergy and narrowly avoided a serious reaction only because I overheard another guest mention it. This kind of carelessness is unacceptable and dangerous. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

I honestly don't understand some of the 1 star reviews, yes the place is dated but the facilities are fine.

We had an awful night before coming here because of the reviews, lost sleep over jt, but upon arrival we were created happily and kindly.

The room was clean, run down, but clean, kinda like the local area. I think you need to take into account the cost of coming to Venice and be reasonable.

The beds were comfy and the bathroom was clean, no mould, no bugs etc - it's a place to sleep, and if you're on a budget in Venice, the No.2/7/6/6L all run from nearby and Lidl down the road can do snacks for the day.

Booking.com says this is an 8.0 which is a bit high, yes you pay more here than you would in other parts of Europe but you are on the doorstep of Venice, so it's gonna cost a bit more.

Everything in the room worked, the power sockets were simple, the door locking was odd at first because you can always open from the inside but that's a quirk of the lock.

The breakfast was okay, there is a buffet assortment of cereal, milk, fruit, yogurt, pastries and bread (no hot food) and coffee/juices. The coffee machine does piss-weak coffee, I've never had an espresso where I can see the bottom of the cup before... Especially in Italy of all places... But after 5/6 of them you tend to get the same effect as one.

The manager was nice, I don't get why he gets criticism! I personally believe his tone has been misunderstood, I think some of these reviews are a result of "lost in translation" where both sides have not understood each other.

I think the critisism is really unfair, this is not a 3 star hotel but if set your expectations accordingly when booking, you will find yourself asleep with a clean and secure bedroom, clean bathroom and easy access to Venice.

That being said, I do have some fair critisism / points to make it just a bit better. FYI these are not complaints, just little quality of life things!

1. Shower height adjustment - the shower is small and the set height is made for someone under 5ft 10" in height so it's a bit tough to use if you are taller but it's manageable.
2. An information leaflet in the room with WiFi code, and some explanations about how the TV works, why the door lock is like it is and how to drain the sink (if you are not from Europe this is odd!)
3. Shower sealant, might just me our room but the shower leaks outside of the shower tub on both sides, not an issue, but if it persists with other guests, water damage can get under the tiles!

Overall, this ticked the box for site seeing and in future I'd probably look for an airbnb or stay further out as the transport into Venice is more than adequate! 🚌🚌

I went with a friend and we asked for a room with two single beds. The room was tiny, the bathroom was super small and the worst thing was that we both woke up covered in bedbug bites!!! We only stayed one night, but it was the first night of our trip through Italy and the bites bothered us for the rest of the trip. Today, a week later, it is still a problem. How disgusting and dangerous this place is. I called the next day to complain and the hotel's response was: "How strange, we don't have that here, if you want, call later to speak to the hotel owner." I do not recommend it at all.

Very disappointing hotel by its welcome and especially by the room that was assigned to me: -Lack of cleanliness, dilapidated room giving off a bad smell. -The window remained open all night because of the bad smell in the room. I strongly advise against this establishment which is not a 3 star.

The reception was good. But the beds left much to be desired, felt the springs all night so slept really badly there. The breakfast is too expensive for what it is. But the location is good to visit the bus to Venice. Is in need of renovation.

The air conditioning was useless and we couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because it was too cold. We asked the front desk to get two more quilts (there were two of us) but were told they could only be given during the day. We were frozen all night and only got one blanket the next day. Asking the staff to fix the air conditioning was also useless. The breakfast was average.
