Hotel Antony - Campalto Venezia Mestre

7.4

I chose this hotel for it's proximity to the Marco Polo airport and the FREE shuttle to and from the airport. Except when I called from the airport (for a total of 5 Euro's) the person answering the phone (the one advertised and english speaking) simply repeated the words "OK, OK, OK) and hung up on me multiple times. I finally had to have an airport personel (much to their dismay) call and speak to them in Italian and then the bus did come for me right away. If you stay here be sure to request a room AWAY from the street, it can get loud, but the rooms on the opposite side have a great veiw and all the rooms are spacious. Be leary of purported "non-smoking' rooms, my room smelled like an old wet ashtray, and I was brushed off as crazy until they found ashes and a ciggarette in the "just cleaned" toilet! They report to have internet but it was "out of order" for the day and a half I was there, this could happen to anyone. Overall, decent price, large rooms, close to the airport, and easy bus ride into Venice.

very good location for someone who has to go to the airport next day but poor surroundings for the night before - we went to Venice for our dinner. Breakfast is very poor and served in an uncomfortable, dark room. If you can´t stand old smoke smell, ask for a non-smokers room; our first room was terribly smelly. The second room was fine, we even had coffee making facilities.

My son and I stayed at Hotel Antony because we had a very early flight in the morning. The rooms were quite large for European rooms and the staff was very helpful and courteous. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for people that want to go to Venice everyday since it did not seem convenient for that but it was very nice, clean and well priced. A bonus was that we needed to leave the hotel at around 4:30 in the morning and the evening desk clerk had ordered a box breakfast let for us when we checked out. That was nice.

Great location with bus to Venice two blocks from hotel.

We had a car so the fact that the hotel was a good few miles from the vaporetta station was not really a problem but otherwise I was told you had to get a bus or taxi to the canals. We did use a taxi once and it was very expensive. Venice was really nice to see. Tip-buy a day ticket for the vaporettas. Food in venice was nice but expensive. A few days is enough here in my opinion.

The dining room was my first experience with the stereotypical Italian organizational chaos, and the "internet access" described in the on-line description was a terminal in the lobby. Otherwise, it was a perfectly comfortable stay. One bit of advice: Call a taxi yourself. The taxi the front desk arranged charged me €25 to return to the airport and was unable (or unwilling) to give me a receipt. The taxi from the airport the night before? €15 and a receipt as a matter of course.

Overall a very good stay at the Antony. Price was a bit higher than I wanted; espcially since I was only staying less than 12 hours. The dinning room was useless. There was a group of Orientals that precluded the use by other hotel guests requiring us to depart the premises for dinner - this is not a good practice! Would I return? Yes.
