I would recommend this hotel as you are staying in the real Venice: walking from the hotel to the main sights is spent going down many small streets and crossing several picturesque bridges.
It is about a 10 min walk from the Vaparetto stop Fondamente Nuove, which is the place where you catch the boats to the islands Burano, Murano and Torcello.
Beware, if you have a lot of luggage, there are 3 bridges to cross to get to the hotel, meaning a lot of steps.
Rooms were clean and of a good size. Breakfast was taken on a balcony outside.
The hotel was booked through www.venere.com and I booked it as it had very good reviews.
