A 2 minute walk in a lovely little subsection of Maghera from the bus stop that takes you to Venice St. Lucia Station (Bus Lines 6 or /6) in about 10-15 minutes where you transfer to water buses or walk to the main Venice attractions. The main plaza of Maghera hosts a mercato on certain days and the subsection has plenty of cafes, banks and restaurants to get you situated before and to satisfy your cravings after a day trip to Venice. I actually had some of the best pizza I had in Italy at a pizzeria in Municipio plaza!
Area felt safe (20-something female traveling alone), but I had to ask directions to find the place. From the Venice-Mestre train station take buses from the side of the street as the train station (going right from station exit). Maghera is just around the corner from the station, but not walkable. I got off at the wrong stop and may have taken the wrong bus number. Although Bus 15 got me there, there may be a better bus to take a different line, like Bus 10. You want to get off at Municipio Plaza and head left down Rossarol, if that helps!
The reception was friendly and helpful with directions. The hotel is a bit worn with what I think was cedar cabinetry that had a strong, but bearable smell. Restrooms were clean, even the grout, but the bed linen was slightly torn from wear and tear. The room was larger than others I stayed in in Italy, but the bed was not very comfortable. That said, I would stay there again.
