Hotel Garibaldi

We are a group of six friends, two from Britain, two from Canada and two from Australia who met up in the UK after many years apart for a late 60's birthday reunion. We had booked a cruise with MSC out of Marghera and wanted to see Venice before our cruise so chose the hotel Garibaldi in Mestre after reading the reviews about the proximity etc., The hotel location is perfect. Just a short walk to the bars, restaurants etc., and the bus stop to Venice is directly opposite the hotel. Check-in was quick and the Manager was the perfect host. We stayed in the economy rooms which were absolutely fine, very, very clean. The rooms are quite compact but there's a small closet and great shower. The hotel has a small bar which we found to be a great way to end the day with a night cap. Breakfast was excellent. The choice and service was second to none. We completed a list of items we would like from freshly cooked scrambled or boiled eggs, cereals, yogurts, toast, ham, cheese, pastries, juice etc., The table was laden with fresh bread, pastries, jugs of juice, fruit and the eggs were served to us. Fresh, hot tea/coffee and "cake" of the day was gorgeous. Everyone of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Garibaldi, it was excellent value for money, lovely, friendly staff who all work exceptionally hard to provide a wonderful service. Thank you.
