⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My stay at Chiara Lodge was truly delightful. This family-owned lodge exudes warmth and genuine hospitality, creating an atmosphere that immediately feels like home. The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a restful retreat after a day of travel. The restroom is very clean and full of necessities. We went as a group of 3 and we are not small people (lol) but we stayed comfortably in the room. Breakfast was both delicious and thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the care and attention given to every guest experience. They also have another place in Venice and we went there for lunch and the owner also provided great hospitality. We were so appreciative.

We wholeheartedly recommend Chiara Lodge to anyone seeking comfort, charm, and outstanding service. About 5 mins walk to bus station and the train station…we will definitely return! Thank you.

Broken air conditioning. Hard uncomfortable bed

The air conditioning didn't work. It was very hot. The shower was way too small to be able to get clean. It was only 2 foot by 2 foot. So all you could do is stand straight up in down in it. You could not wash your legs or arms because there was no room to move. They did not provide wash clothes. There was a very small bottle of something, but no way to tell if it was shampoo, body wash, or what??? So you have to bring your own toiletries for everything and your own wash cloth. The bed was hard. Only one flat pillow provided per person. Very uncomfortable and hard to sleep.

Wow, bien situé et super service

Wow, bien situé, approximativement 8 minutes de la gare pour se rendre à Venise, un excellent service. Il parle 5 langues, un bon petit déjeuner, c'est super propre. Il a été accommodant pour notre arrivée un peu plus tôt pour déposé nos valises, il les a monté dans nos chambres. Ils ont appelé quelqu'un pour notre retour à l 'aéroport. Je recommanderais sans hésité.

Great hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at the Chiara lodge. The place was cute and well set up. The staff was super accommodating, even though we were traveling with some grumpy seniors. Breakfast was tasty.
If you have mobility issues, you need to request one of the ground floor rooms ahead of time. There is no elevator.

The location is about a 5 minute walk to the main train station. You can easily grab a train to Venice, which leaves every few minutes. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby and convenience stores to grab last-minute items.

On my previous visits, I have stayed in Venice, but due to the mobility issues of some of our fellow travelers, I picked a place that would be more accommodating outside the city proper. However, from now on I think we will stay in Mestre at Chiara Lodge. Its super fast to get into Venice, you get a better room like Chiara, and its much more affordable.

We didn't receive our room number and code before we arrived. There isn't a lobby area. Fortunately a person was leaving the building and we were able to get in. The cleaning person called and the person she talked to emailed us the correct code. We did arrive before check-in time so maybe we would have received the code if we arrived later. No place to store luggage if you arrive early.
Very small bathroom in our room.

Good location, close to train station and bus stop for commuting to Venice. Room was comfortable, clean and newly updated, although on the smaller side. Safe and AC in the room were appreciated. Breakfast was very good- some thing for all tastes, from scrambled eggs & bacon to fresh fruit salad & yogurt. The Vero Espresso/Coffee machine was a nice perk. Staff were very helpful (provided restaurant recommendations & transportation directions) and friendly. Bus to Venice has a stop just at the end of the street- about a block away. Very convenient.

Wonderful Hotel and Amazing Hospitality

We stayed in Chiara Lodge from Sept 19-23, and Sept 28-30, 2023 and we highly recommend this Hotel.

We cannot thank enough Chiara Lodge and its owners Yvan and Davy for the warmest welcome, great hospitality, cleanest room, amazing buffet spread --and all around assistance in making our stay in Venice a most pleasant one!

Booking and communication: Booking was very easy using Hotels.com. Davy responded promptly to my requests such as request to leave our luggage for early check-in/late check-out; assistance for hotel transfer, etc.

Location: Chiara Lodge is in Mestre, Venice-- a 10-15 minutes train ride or by bus to Venice. It is so convenient to get to the train station- just a short walk away. Much closer is the bus station- and the bus tickets can be bought from the Tabacchi stores on the main street for 1.5 euro (some sell for 2 euro). There are several restaurants/cafes and a big grocery store nearby on the main street- so convenient for snacks and drinks.

Rooms: The rooms are in excellent condition- so clean and comfortable; the bathrooms are big and amenities are good.

Breakfast: A wide choice of breakfast fare is available-several coffee selections, pastries, fruits, and hot food like eggs, bacons, and sausages. It is a filling breakfast enough to fuel you for early dinner.

The owners: Davy and Yvan are the most hospitable hosts-they will do and make everything possible to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. Thank you so much! We miss you already!

Most wonderful stay & amazing staff at Chiara!

We certainly LOVE Chiara Lodge and its staff! If only we could stay much longer!

The location is so strategic— you can walk in 5-15 mins to major attractions. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby!

The hotel is in top shape condition, the breakfast offering is top- notch, but most important— the staff are the best! We have stayed in 4 hotels while on a two week vacation in Nprthern Italy and the staff cannot be matched - in terms of friendliness, prompt service, and willing ess to help snd serve.

I would like to particularly mention and thank with utmost gratitude— Nicola and Kera at the front desk; Gabriela, Anna and Ivy at the breakfast area, and also Ruben.

Nicola and Kera are friendly, welcomiing and efficient— great assets to the Hotel! Anna and Ivy are very prompt and serve with a smile. Ruben is very friendly which puts guests at ease.

We will stay at Chiara Lodge when we come back to Florence and highly RECOMMEND to family and friends.

The place really clean and nice, they have a nice breakfast. Yvon is very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this place if you plan to visit Venice and stay away from the rush and busy life of the island.

Great staff! They went above and beyond to accommodate us. They allowed us early check in after a long overnight flight. They even packed us breakfast for an early flight the next morning. Made us feel at home, great English, and helped with transportation. Very Italian in location. Was just not enough room for our family of 6 with young children, but would be fantastic for couples.

This hotel is only a 6 minute walk from the Venice-Mestre train station. I would definitely recommend it is you are staying in Venice on a budget or want to treat yourself to stay in a lovely hotel. The train from Mestre to the main island of Venice is less than $2 and only a 10 minute ride, very convenient if you don't want to deal with getting your luggage to a hotel on one of the water busses in Venice.

The property has to buildings. My room was on the first floor of the building across the street from the main build where you check in and have breakfast. The check in process was easy, the young man working the front desk in very friendly and shows you how to use the amenities in the kitchen/breakfast area and how to work the doors between the buildings. I stayed in a single room, it was very comfortable. The walls were a little thin, so you could hear some people talking loudly, but this is no different than at own house.

If I ever go to Venice, I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, cute, convenient. Great Service!

My husband and I were celebrating our first anniversary. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Chiara Hotel. It was easy to grab a shuttle to the hotel (though next time we'll take the bus to Mestre to save $$$). Check in was easy and our room was already ready even though we arrived earlier than the check-in time. Front desk staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic for a continental layout and our room was elegant and clean. Hotel is walking distance to the train station so getting into the center of venice was very easy. It was nice to stay in a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of tourism within venice. Definitely worth visiting this hotel again. Thank you for making our first anniversary a memorable one!

Very nice affordable Mestre hotel

If you choose to stay in Mestre instead of on the island then Chiara Lodge is a great choice. It's about a 5-6 minute walk from the train/bus station, and from there it's easy to get over to the island.
The lady who checked me in was extremely friendly and helpful. My room was across the street, but she explained where I needed to use my room card to get in/out of the gates and doors.
The room itself was great. Spacious, modern and clean with a comfortable bed.
The free breakfast did not include any warm dishes (eggs, sausage, etc.) but it was still plenty of food and variety. The free chilled water and coffee available in the lobby was nice too.
Would definitely stay here again -- thanks!

I wish I could've stayed longer but maybe next time - if you're looking for place in Mestre, I'd highly recommend Chiara.

The property is situated within easy walking distance to public transportation - both bus stops and Mestre train station. Very easy access to Venice and other destinations (e.g. Padua). Rooms were clean and comfortable. Price for the room was reasonable. Breakfast was included and was very good. Staff was truly excellent. I found them to be extremely helpful in providing directions, bus tickets, restaurant recommendations, and general knowledge of the area. Both Sofia and Yvan exchanged emails with me prior to arrival. My conversations were mostly with Sofia during my stay at Chiara Lodge. Her English language skills were very good and she was a pleasure to deal with overall. If I return to this area, I would most definitely stay at Chiara Lodge again.

Good hotel at a great location

Pros:
* Location: 2 min walk from buses that go to Venice, a 8 min walk to the train station, and 15 min walk to Mestre's city center.
* The room had rather new facilities: mini-bar, safety deposit box, shower, toilets, bed.
* The staff was helpful and nice and catered to our requests and questions with patience and willingness to help.
Cons:
* Only a glass door \"separates\" the shower and toilets from the bedroom. Anything that goes inside the shower/toilets is well noticed near the bed.
* Breakfast area remained dirty long after guests left their tables. Unpleasant to sit near so much uncollected garbage.
* The wooden closet inside the room was extremely smelly.
* Note that the proximity to the train station means the neighborhood is somewhat unpleasant.

Chiara Lodge, Mestre - Nice Hotel

The hotel is a nice, clean and modern hotel. The staff are very helpful and friendly and can / will advise you on ideas on places to visit, if you are unsure and will provide maps of Venice.

You will need to purchase a travel card either before you arrive in Venice or at the airport, we used VeneziaUnica, travel passes. This will allow you to use the buses and water boats, which will provide you with connectivity, on you visit.

You should note that the river taxis are not covered and would suggest you agree an fee, before stepping onto the boat.

A short, minute walk at the road and a local bus will take you from Mestre to Venice, which will drop you off in Piazzale Roma, which is a main bus station. This, then allows you to visit any attractions on the Venice island, via the wonderful water boat system.

I like their decoration a lot. Bed is very comfy. Staff are really nice. The only drawback I have is that the free space (just to leave my luggage open) is very limited.
