The
hotel
itself
was
great:
bus
stop
and
Lidl
only
5
minutes
walk,
but
during
the
night,
the
closest
bus
would
drop
you
off
about
15
min
away
from
the
hotel
(a
different
stop).
From
Mestre
to
Venice,
it's
a
20
min
max
by
bus.
So
the
hotel
location
is
good
.
Also,
the
pool
was
great
but
food
was
overpriced.
Another
thing
we
noticed
was
some
staff
members
need
more
training
in
order
to
at
least
learn
to
smile
(this
is
tourism
after
all
to
which
hospitality
standards
apply).
The
exception
was
Julia
(managing
the
pool)
and
Daniele
(from
reception):
they
were
enthusiastic,
supportive,
very
friendly
and
made
us
feel
welcome.
They
truly
are
models
of
the
Novotel
label
and
represent
Venice
spirit.
Finally,
there
is
possibility
to
purchase
public
transport
tickets
at
the
reception
(covering
buses
and
vaporetto
boats).
To
sum
up,
I'd
highly
recommend
this
hotel
if
customers
want
to
have
an
outdoor
pool
experience,
although
it's
outside
Venice
(but
not
too
far),
as
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
other
hotels
with
pool
in
Venice
itself
and
the
Novotel
chain
has
a
very
good
reputation.
