A summary of typical guests' reviews:
"It was an exellent hotel. The staff and the employees were friendly and helpfull. We enjoyed our stay in Venice."
"The hotel was small, but what else can you expect from somewhere that is within yards (metres?) of San Marco Piazza. The rooms were small but perfectly adequate - after all you anly sleep there. The cleanliness was fine, the breakfast was a good continental breakfast with cereals, juice, tea coffee or chocolate and a variety of breads and preserves. The staff were very friendly. I should not hesitate to recommend the Orion. And the venere service proved very reliable."
"As described on website. Would definately recommend and use again."
"It's small but worth the price. The staff was very helpful with directions and information."
"We were expecting a room, and actually got a nice apartment. The quality and service exceeded our expectations in every way. We extended our stay from the 3 days originally booked to 5 days. This accomodation helped make our stay in Venezia most enjoyable! The staff spoke excellent English, and gave us restaurant recommendations and helped book a hotel room for us at our next destination. Highly recommended, we'll plan to stay here next time we come."
"Brilliant location, friendly staff, great breakfast. Perfect spot for getting around Venice and surrounding area."
"Venice was spectacular and the stay at the Orion hotel made it extremely enjoyable. The walking directions on their website (which includes photographs) were excellent. We arrived by water bus from the airport to the San Marco Square and found the hotel easily with the aid of those photos. The location is absolutely perfect, located between the Rialto bridge and San Marco Square. The hotel is an easy walk to or from the train station. Would we stay at the Orion again? Yes!"
"If you are booking over the web and you want to stay in the best location at a good price, choose Orion. We arrived by car and parked at Tronchetto, then took the vaporetto no. 82 along the Grand Canal to Piazza San Marco, then a 5 minute walk to the hotel. Perfect."

Single rooms: 50 - 140 euros

Alle Guglie Hotel is a very good value three stars hotel 5 minutes' walk to the rail station, close to all tourist attractions, 2 minutes' walk to the Grand Canal, overlooking the main street of Venice, an obligatory tourist walk.
The hotel is an antique Venetian house, where the décor is kept as much as possible close to the original. The hotel's residential area is very typical, and has a daily market and small artisan shops with magnificent Venice Carnival masks. All of this can be seen from the hotel rooms.
Rooms have en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, hairdryer, TV, telephone.
A summary of typical guests' reviews:
"Very central yet amazingly quiet in the room. Warm and clean. Excellent value. I wish I could say the same about B+B in the UK. My Swedish partner who is very choosy was very impressed."
"The location is good, it takes 5 minutes by walking from the station. The room is clean. Staff are kind and friendly, they can also speak English. I like this hotel very much."
"Overall, a very good hotel for the price. Although we had little interaction with the staff, when we did they were friendly and helpful. If we came back to Venice, we would definitely stay there again, and we will recommend this to others."
"Very good location. Very close to vaporetto stop at Guglie, and not much farther to Ferrovia or San Marcuolo. If you have lots of baggage, you can get a cart ("carrello") at Ferrovia, the train station, and wheel it to the hotel, as the Guglie Bridge has a ramp. Lots of local restaurants and bars nearby, some of which stay open late. There is a laundromat right next door, and internet access nearby. We (two women) were out at all hours and felt perfectly safe. The walk to the Rialto takes about 15 minutes through an interesting area of shops. We were sorry we spent so much time in other areas that we did not see all that was around the hotel, including a market on most days. We heard, though we did not get there, that there were good cheap restaurants on the canal at Via Misericordia, just north of the hotel. The hotel was very nice - we had a king-sized bed with a good mattress and good towels and linens, a safe-deposit box, small fridge, good tv, and a very large closet. The bathroom was clean, and had a tub and hand-held shower. There was a desk attended 24 hours, which gave wake-up calls and advice about the area. The desk personnel were courteous and helpful, and spoke English. They were very nice about letting us leave the luggage on our last day. Breakfast was offered from 8:00 am to 9:30 am in a lovely room, where servers brought good cappuccino, juice, toast, pastries, jam and butter. There are about 10 marble steps up from the street. We were given the quoted price with no argument. We would most certainly stay there again and recommend it to friends."
"Very enjoyable stay in a comfortable hotel. Very friendly and welcolming staff. Surrounding area is charming and not too touristy. Would go back again."
"Location great for attractiveness, quiet yet ready access to vaporetto and can be walked from P.de Roma. Welcome grand even though we arrived 10pm and staf very courteous and helpful. Easy to leave luggage when flying out late. Would stay again without hesitation."
"A good hotel located about midway between the station and the premier attractions. Close to vaporetti stops too. Early start for fruit stalls etc directly opposite hotel adds to the charm and atmosphere. I paid E120 (£80)a night for a double ensuite room with continental breakfast, and at this price for central Venice was impressed with the value for money. No good if you have mobility problems however."
"Alle Guglie was easily-found and ideally-placed, being in a tourist-light, "real-people" part of the city, yet with ready access to the main tourist sights. Our rear room, with a roof view, restricted the outlook but was quieter than I ever expected, which was very welcome. Breakfast was simple, but with a tacit acceptance that guests could supplement the rolls and conserves provided with brought-in comestibles. The staff were not outwardly-effusive, but performed their tasks effectively and without fuss. We felt that it provided adequate value for money."
"We stayed in the cheapest room in the hotel and so we were not expecting too much. If anything the room/cleanliness/noise level exceeded our expectations. Excellent position for seeing sights - close to two vapporetti stops - (if staying a week buy the weekly ticket - saves a fortune), train station and bus station. Plus close to Jewish quarter (best value bars and restaurants - i.e. cheap!!!). To summarise good value and position if on a tight budget."

General price range per room
Single rooms: 40 - 150 euros
Double rooms: 60 - 200 euros
Triple rooms: 80 - 260 euros

A summary of typical guests' reviews:
"We were very happy with our stay at this hotel. We had a family party of 5, with 3 rooms, and for a budget hotel, we were very pleased. The manager Valerio was extremely welcoming and helpful. The location is very convenient for the most popular areas."
"We found the manager to be very friendly and helpful. He helped us find activities/tours/restaurants that we were interested in. They are in the process of remodelling the rooms and he showed us the one demonstration room and asked for our feedback, which we thought indicated his sincerity in customer service. There is no elevator, but only 2 flights of stairs to the 2nd floor (where we stayed), but the manager carried our suitcase up for us, so it wasn't a problem. The location was great...very central to St. Mark's square and a short walk to the Rialto bridge and very close to the vaporetto stop. All in all, we felt very welcome at San Giorgio."
"This is a lovely hotel in a fabulous location, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Even the owners cat "Pablo" the fattest cat I have ever seen, was as gracious a host as possible."
"A simple hotel in an excellent location. Extremely helpful and friendly proprietor. Rather difficult to find."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at San Giorgio. The hosts spoke excellent English, were very helpful and accomodating, and even organised an trip our to Murano for us."
"Perfect location, helpful and very friendly staff, great value in very expensive Venice."
"Very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were very welcoming and more than helpful. The rooms were the largest and cleanest of all out stays in Venice. Would stay there again!!"
"Overall we had a very pleasant stay. The hotel, although a little difficult to find initially, is situated in a quiet spot with excellent access to all the local places of interest. The breakfast was not quite as lavish as promised but nontheless provided a good selection which was more than adequate. The hotel staff were excellent, welcoming and helpful. Whilst staying there I unfortunately hurt my back and Valerio, the Manager, very kindly carried our case to the boat, without his help which was offered spontaneously when he could see our predicament we would have had great difficulties returning to the airport. Valerio we thank you for this and we have no hesitation in recommending the San Giorgio."
"Great location, within easy walking distance of all major attractions and good restaurants. Excellent personalised service from Valerio, who went out of his way to help us organise other aspects of our holiday. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you!"
"A very good little "bed & breakfast" hotel in a very quiet area of San Marco. No noise at night. No lift. Small rooms, but very clean. Manager excellent and really enhanced our first visit to Venice. Well placed for shops, places to eat and only a 10 minute walk to Piazza San Marco. Adequate breakfast (warm rolls, packaged croissants and toasts, jams, yoghurts, fruit juices etc), good selection of fresh fruit daily (coffee very strong!). We will definitely return for another visit. Needed a better map to initally find the hotel, but understand that this has now been updated. Good value for money given that Venice is expensive."

Single rooms: 50 - 140 euros

Noemi Hotel is in the heart of Venice, along one of the main streets that link the Rialto Bridge to Piazza San Marco, less than a minute's walking distance from Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square).
Family-owned, Hotel Noemi has 15 rooms.
Most rooms have en-suite bathroom, telephone, satellite TV and a front view.
Common restrooms and showers are on every floor.
A summary of typical guests' reviews:
"The hotel Noemi is a great hotel. Its location for its price is perfect. I had the opportunity to explore Venice knowing that the base I had chosen was ideal."
"A superbly priced hotel in the heart of the San Marco district. I stayed in their cheapest single room. Altough this room was (as to be expected for Venice) small located next to the shared bathroom , it was clean and served its purpose. The charge of €40 was for room only but was half the price of anything remotely in the area (i.e. almost on top of St. Mark's square). The hotel iself was also clean, well furnished with modern facilities. A simple establishment that also had character."
"Excellent accommodation for the price. We used the hotel as a base to explore Venice and to that end it served its purpose with aplomb. I would definitely stay here again."
"Noemi is a beautiful little hotel. Am taking my mother back next week."
"Excellently, centrally situated. Rooms were comfortable and clean. We were in the annexe, with our two children in the opposite room. We therefore had little contact with staff or public areas. The lack of breakfast was a little inconvenient, although there was a cafe and bakery very close by. Very good value for money - I have already recommended the Noemi to other colleagues looking for a budget stay in Venice."
"Stay there, very convenient and value for money-good cafe next door."
"Hotel is difficult to find. Location is wonderful. I am sure you will be satisfied with what you are getting for your money."

Single rooms: 40 - 70 euros
Double rooms: 50 - 150 euros
Triple rooms: 90 - 190 euros

Hotel Iris is near the boat stop n. 10 S. Tomà on the Grand Canal.
Recently restored, it's located in a typical quarter of the city, in a quiet corner of the centre of Venice, close to all major Venetian monuments and attractions.
Rooms are both with and without en-suite bathroom.
A summary of guests' reviews:
"The hotel was ideally situated and provided everything we needed. As it was so central we were able to return during the day if we needed to change or to leave purchases behind. It is in a particularly interesting and attractive area which is generally fairly quiet but is close to more lively areas. The vaporetto stop is nearby and the bus and rail stations are a short walk away. We had a very good and reasonably priced lunch in the restaurant next door where the waiter was able to help with some special dietary needs in spite of our very feeble attempts to describe our requirements in pidgin Italian. We will certainly return to the Iris when we next stay in Venice."
"I really appreciate the master's support for my visit. Thank you a lot!"
"A very nice hotel in venice."
"Hotel Iris is well located for tourists and is reasonably priced."

Single rooms: 70 - 90 euros

Hotel Locanda delle Acque, as the name implies (it means Inn of the Waters), is directly overlooking one of the beautiful canals of Venice.
The Hotel is in Calle delle Acque, a historical street in San Marco ancient quarter, in the very heart of Venice, and it's only a few steps from St. Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge, easily reachable by boat from car terminal and railway station.
A completely renovated guest house, it has confortable rooms with fridge and TV.
On the top two floors are private apartment suites with terrace garden, offering a beautiful panoramic view of the true Venice.
A summary of typical guests' reviews:
"I and my teenage children thought Locanda delle Acque an excellent deal. We were looking for somewhere central and affordable and not necessarily luxurious. Our room was fine - a bit of a climb but the net info indicated that was likely. Beds were excellent. The room was well heated, had a fridge and TV and the en suite facilities were top class. Not a lot of free space but that didn't concern us. The response from Christina, our e-mail contact, was excellent from the word go and she collected us from the Rialto vaporetto stop which was great. Breakfast was brought to us in our room which we really appreciated. The location is terrific-only minutes from both the Rialto and St Mark's. Next door is a wonderful restaurant and we also went to a concert nearby. All-in-all, ideal if you're on a budget."
"It was fantastic value for money."
"It was a very nice place with three spacious rooms with an elegant and old touch. Its tall windows permits the sunlight enter freely and at night you not only close the windows but can also shut them with the wooden doors outside giving you a very dark and quiet resting night. Its closets are spacious. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a wonderful dinner. The place is located within a few turns from the piazza San Marco. The price is very reasonable considering you can sleep at least 6 people. You don't have to worry about taking laundry anywhere, the washing machine(no dryer) saves you time and effort."
"Great position, spacious room, our suite had a good roof terrace."
"If you want to stay in the center of Venice (San Marco) and you do not neccessarily need the most luxerious room it is a real good choise. (Price is excellent)."
"Nice little hotel, well situated for the Rialto and San Marco. Room quite small and basic but clean. Breakfast in a different hotel round the corner. Friendly staff."

General price range per room or suite
Double rooms: 50 - 130 euros
