BEST HOTELS IN VENICE
- First things first: You do not have to stay on the mainland, missing the opportunity to wake up in fairy-tale Venice. Whoever keeps circulating the rumour that Venice doesn`t have enough beds offers no rooms under € 200 is about a decade out of date - and hasn`t heard of the internet.
Hotel Danielli |
- Over the past 10 years, many Venetians have opened their homes as B&B or affitacamere (rooms for rent). These places are much more personable than Venice`s big hotels, and they`re often tucked away in neighbourhoods where you can mingle with the locals but still be close to the sights. Better still, you can compare costs online, then negotiate a rate that fits your budget by emailing the hotel or B&B directly. Compare hotels, B&B and apartments at AGODA , BOOKING.COM and TRIPADVISOR agency. With research, you can find places that don`t double their low-season price in high season, and even a few places under € 100.
- If you`re still thinking of staying in Mestre, consider the following scenario. You stay in Venice until sundown to get the full effect of this romantic city, linger over a spritz (prosecco-based cocktail), then decide you`ll try a promising Venetian osteria (restaurant-bar) you read about on those pages. After a lovely meai, you have to catch a train to Mestre; even if your hotel is in a nice part of town, the train station certainly isn`t. Tomorrow, instead of waking up to the sound of gondoliers crying `Oooooeee!`, you`ve got a symphony of honks at Mestre rush hour.
Hotel Rialto |
- So, that being said: where would you like to stay in Venice? The most reasonably priced B&Bs and affitacamere are clustered in residential sections of Santa Croce, San Polo and Cannaregio; B&Bs in San Marco, Dorsoduro and Castello, with proximity to major attractions, tend to be pricier. Dorsoduro and San Marco offer many chic boutique accommodations, Cannaregio is a good bet for quiet and period charm, and Santa Croce and Giudecca offer a Venetian immersion experience just off the tourist trail.
- When nothing less than a palazzo (palace or mansion) with a Grand Canal view will do, you`ll probably end up staying in San Marco. Several of the historic palaces along the Grand Canal have been bought by hotel chains, adding an air of brisk efficiency to these luxury operations that you`ll find either helpful or off-putting.
Bella Venezia Hotel |
- The Starwood-run Gritti Palace has maintained its swagger and antique charm, while the Monaco & Grand Canal Hotel - a former high-baroque gambling den - has recently completed an elegant renovation. For a luxury waterfront stay, you might also consider staying in a Palladio-designed cloister at the new Bauer Palladio & Spa or head to the Lido for the Liberty art deco grandeur of the Hotel des Bains.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION PRICES
- Prices of hotel accommodation from 1994. were not specified by law, so hotels can form an estimated market price, but are not limited to fees determined by the number of stars. In Venice accommodation is expensive and can hardly be said that today there are "dead" season with the benefits of lower prices or prices that are negotiable.
- Unlikely to come across a simple double room for less than 50 €. Occasionally you can find some cheaper rooms between November and February when the weather is mostly nice.No remember that the off-season many hotels closed, and some are re-opening of the carnival and consequently raise prices. Prices of single rooms are more than half the price of bedrooms, and prices include tax (about 2-3 euros, depend hotel location).

WHERE TO LOOK?
- Unlike most cities, Venice hardly has that "undesirable" neighborhood. You will pay significantly higher prices of hotels near Piazza San Marco, but so tight in the city, even the seemingly remote parts like Cannaregio and Santa Croce are never far from the sights and attractions.
- Addresses in Venice really confusing but in the list of hotels listed as references to the plan of the city (maps) . Most tourists think that it pays to pay for expensive accommodation in Venice a few nights, despite the price because of the proximity of all the sights and intensity of events.
- Do not succumb to the temptation of a relatively low price hotels in Mestre, unless you're willing to stay in the industrial city. So, remember that you will during his visit to Venice, if you travel by car, have to pay a very expensive parking in the parking Piazzale Roma or at one of its satellites.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Hotels by law must register guests at the police and therefore will require your passport when you arrive. Can it keep for several hours, but definitely take it back because you will need a document of identification when changing money or matter of sale of traveler's checks.
- Hotel Rooms in Italy are not particularly comfortable, mats are rare, luggage space is often very limited, and luxuries such as all the necessary cooking tea is unknown, even in hotels with four and five star hotels.
- Arrangement is often easy, and Italian tastes can be quite different from that to what you're used to. But the hotel staff is friendly and courteous and high standard of cleanliness. The bathrooms are almost without exception, very very clean, even when they are common. Less expensive hotels often do not have bathtubs, showers are considered more hygienic and more economical in water consumption.
- Rooms without bathrooms usually have a sink, and towels are supplied. Breakfast is very easy - a cup of coffee and a brioche (rolls that can be filled with cream or jam), and hotels usually add fruit juice, biscuits and jam. It is always cheaper to eat breakfast in the bar.
Little square in Venice |
- With the exception of Venice, where the only sound produced water, or people, Italian cities are often very noisy. If you have a light sleep, looking for a room that does not look to the street or bring your ear plugs do not hear traffic and church bells. In a four-and five-star hotels usually have to clear out by noon or between ten o'clock and noon at a small hotel. If you stay longer, you will pay for another night.

- Cheaper hotels with one or two asterisks that charge 20-40 € per person per night are usually small family hotels. Sometimes they are called pensions, but this concept was officially no longer used very often. However, many of them have retained the name and character that they provide such a success. Rarely offered breakfast and have a little room with bathroom.
- Do not expect any particularly high standards of service. Revision of pensions Affitacamere, rented rooms, and an even smaller object that have an excellent course for change in foreign exchange. Accommodation in hostels and dormitories at times can be found in monasteries and other religious institutions, and often it is possible to arrange the local tourist office.
