Traveling to the Hotel Melino Stucky from Mestre rail station. Any tips or concerns?
Welcome to the forum. What sort of tips or concerns are you looking for?
Why Mestre and not Venezia S Lucia?
Mestre is not on Venice
If you need info on how to reach your hotel look at hotel website
That hotel is not on the main Venice island but over on Guidecca
I am sure your hotel offers transfer by water taxi
The Molino Stucky has its own dock for its shuttle boat to/from Sam Marco, but vaporetti do not stop there. Closest vaporetto dock is Sacca Fisola, then a bit of walk from there, including a bridge over a canal with ramps, so it is easy with rolling luggage. Use the No 2 boat from Santa Lucia train station, or the suggested water taxi from there.
You may have a specific reason for staying here, but it's not really convenient as a sight seeing base.
Thanks to all. I was experimenting with the app as this was my first time using it. I have sorted out how to get to the Hotel. To answer the question about why Mestre, I am doing a barge tour of the Po and the pick up drop off point is in Mestre at the RR station. I will provide updates on the Barge and the hotel later.
If the barge trip is dropping you off at Mestre, then you are going to Venice, just take any of the frequent trains from there to Santa Lucia station and proceed from there.
Thanks. I’ve got it.
