Hotels in Venice Italy Recommended by Vistors and Travellers
See our recommendations
for hotels in Venice, Italy. Venice
accommodation can range from the ultimate luxurious to more humble
quarters for students and budget travellers. These are travel reviews
made by people who have stayed there. For those of you who have never
been to Venice, you haven't lived! Venice is one of those 'must see'
places before you die!
Prices
of hotels here really depend on the quality of the hotel you choose as
well as the location, but in the main they are notoriously expensive.
If you are looking for a hotel room overlooking the Grand Canal be
prepared to dig deep. This is prime real estate, and as such, you will
pay top dollar for the priviledge. On the other hand, you can find
hotels on minor canals at half the price and still have the canal
experience of watching the Venetians as they go about their daily lives
in this water-locked, 1500 year-old city.
Another tip to consider when booking hotels in Venice is that the closer they are to St. Mark's Square (San Marco) the more expensive your rooms will be as this is the main area that people flock to when visiting Venice. What you will have to consider if you book cheaper rooms in less popular areas of the island is how much it will cost you to travel to the places you want to see as the water taxis or vaporetta are also not cheap. The ideal place to book is one where you can walk comfortably to all the top attractions and destinations, pay a reasonable price for the room, have a nice view and only pay for transport on the rare ocassion.
If
you are looking for backpacking, budget accommodation in Venice, then
head for the station area. It is a little out of the way, in fact it is
right at the top end of the city, and will involve a lot of travelling
and walking to get to where you probably want to be, but your
accommodation will cost a lot less here than anywhere else.

Where to Stay in Venice?
Other
cheaper options with a better class of hotel can be found in
Cannaregio, Castello and Dorsoduro. The cheapest out of the
three
is Dorsoduro which is home to wealthy Venetians and expatriates who
enjoy the large expanses of land here that are not cut up by canals and
is a great place for walking. Cannaregio is very easy to get from place
to place and was home to the Jewish ghetto. It is very easy to get from
here to the Rialto Bridge area. Castello is an
interesting mix of working-class Venetians, traditional fishermen of
San Pietro and backwater canals.
Travel to Venice out of Season for Cheaper Hotel Rooms
Another
option to getting a cheaper room is to travel out of season during the
winter months. I have visited Venice in both the height of the summer
and the winter, and have to confess that I found Venice charming in the
winter. It was far less touristy, I didn't have to queue to get into
the Basilica
in St. Mark's Square and other attractions, and I was also able to get
a hotel just off the Grand Canal, overlooking a minor canal with a
great location at half the price I would have paid had I been there in
season.
