Top 5 Venice Budget Hotels
Ahh Venice. Romantic and gorgeous and full of oodles of other tourists wanting to save their money. Don’t worry, we’ve rounded up a list of affordable accommodations. But whatever you do, reserve as
far in advance as possible, especially if you are going during the busy Venice summer season
Hotel Flora
This lovely place near famous Piazza San Marco is one of the best value of all the Venice budget hotels. It’s small and personal, with an inviting garden patio just beyond the lobby. You can feel that this is a family-run place, and rooms have a lovely homey touch with simple but tasteful furniture. Lots of plants throughout and small antiques peppered throughout give this hotel a local feel and makes you want to stay and relax for hours on end. There is also some superb shopping right outside the door. www.hotelflora.it
Hotel Ai Piave
Another family owned hotel, this is one of the loveliest Venice budget hotels. The staff is friendly and vivacious with lots of local suggestions. Rooms have comfortable, firm mattresses and colorful decorations. Some even have splendid stained glass windows and pretty lace curtains. There are also family suites with kitchenettes and laundry facilities. Be sure to reserve in advance for this place, it is ridiculously popular. www.hotelalpiave.com
Hotel Fontana
You’d never guess that this hotel used to be a convent for German nuns. Well, one detail –the bright leaded-glass windows – could be seen as a clue but really, the place is warm and inviting. Antique furniture dominates the rooms and the service is efficient and thorough, as well as being quite friendly. Few rooms at the top have wonderful private terrace and are definitely worth paying a bit extra for. www.hotelfontana.it
Hotel Dolomiti
Situated near the train station this basic choice is convenient and affordable. It is definitely a sold choice among Venice budget hotels. Family owned with excellent service, you will get everything you need plus basic, clean rooms. It is a good place to check if your other choices are full, which frequently happens during peak summer season. www.hoteldolomitivenice.com
Pensione Accademia
It’s worth planning ahead to secure a spot in this gorgeous place. This is an impressive 17th century villa full of exquisite elements. In fact, it used to be called Villa of wonders. Period furniture and antiques fill the elegant rooms and the property is a delightful vegetation paradise with a rose garden, vast grassy spaces and places to relax. Basically, you can pretend you are an old-fashioned aristocrat here. This costs a bit more than other budget options but for what you get, this is amazing value and firmly belongs among our favorite Venice budget hotels.
