Venice hotel near airport

If you look at Booking.com there are a host of hotels at or near the airport.

However, if you want to spend the previous evening in the centre, you will still have to get to your chosen hotel after your visit.
The only other way is to stay near the Piazzale Roma and get the express bus No 35 to the airport - timetable here:

I guess you are a budget traveler, but in 2025 I split a water taxi with another lagoon-front hotel departure, maybe it was 6 AM?

Yes, there are a few hotels near Marco Polo, I was just there and saw a courtyard when leaving the airport. There were several others, none of them were walkable to the terminal, but I'm sure could be accommodated via a short taxi ride. So you should be able to find something close to the airport.
It is a bit difficult to get from the historical area back to the airport at night (depending on the time as I'm not sure how late the water taxi's run between the island back to the airport.) Probably your best bet would be to make your way over near Piazzale Roma (near where the trains and causeway are) and then get a regular ground taxi from there back to the airport hotel. Alternatively, you might consider one of the hotels near the Piazzale Roma and then just get an early morning taxi from there which shouldn't be too bad in the early morning.
For a first timer, I found finding the right place to get the water taxi's a little tricky, especially when in a hurry. Honestly getting to/from Marco Polo into the historic area is a real pain and the historic areas themselves are frustratingly cram packed with people so keep that in mind for your planning. Unfortunately, Venice just isn't an easy place to pop in quickly for some quick sights and out of like many cities as the logistics are tricky.

Is easy to get a taxi from the Venice Airport (VCE) to the train station? What is the name of the train station?
