One of the hostels near the station area where I stayed was called Casa Chiumento (Address: Santa Croce 1465, San Giacomo dell'Orio, Corte Scura, Venice. Tel: 041 5240054, Email: chiumento@tin.it) run by a very sweet old lady. The place was very clean and tidy with nice rooms and shared bathroom. Pretty close to the station at a less than ten minutes walk!!! Only euros 22 per person per night!!!

Albergo Marin is a small, family run, simple hotel, about five minutes walk from the train station. It's an incredibly affordable option in a very expensive city. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Some have ensuite bathrooms, others have a shower, bidet and sink, with a toilet in the hall.
Breakfast is included in the room rate and is a nice bounty of bread, rolls, jams and fresh coffee and orange juice.
What I enjoyed most about the Albergo was it's location. Situated in a neighborhood where Venezians live, it was fun to open the windows in the morning and see the neighbors across the calle, greeting eachother and going about their day to day business. You feel you could reach out and pet the cat on the windowsill across the way.
There's a laundramat just down the street.

This is a nice little place just perfect for the budget-minded traveler in Venice. The owner is so friendly and accommodating. It is clean and safe. Easily accessed by the Vaporetto in a less touristy area of Venice.
There are two room types: superior rooms are larger in size, with internal/en-suite bathrooms with shower and are air-conditioned, standard are smaller double rooms, each with their own private (non-shared) bathroom with shower next door to the room. They are airconditioned too.
A very modest breakfast consisting of a tray delivered to the room of coffee/tea with croissants, cake and biscuits is included in the price.
I would definitely recommend this place to someone traveling to Venice on a budget. It is a great deal.
Friendly owner, quiet and clean rooms.

The Amadeus was my first stay in a European Hotel. I had no idea how small the elevators were going to be! Like little closets.
It had a lovely lobby with a very nice sitting area. The rooms were nice with good bathrooms that had tubs AND showers. I soon came to find that this would not always be the case in Italy. Leave a Comment

 | |  |  | Bernardi Semenzato: Excellent Stay (especially for the money)
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:  |  |  | |  |
I stayed at Hotel Bernardi Semenzato during the first few days in July 2004 and it was an excellent choice for our trip. I was traveling in Italy with 3 friends. Our quad room was very nice and quite large, with plenty of room for us all. I should note that we stayed in the Annex, so I'm not sure what the rooms are like in the main section. Our room came with a TV (that we didn't use), a hair dryer, a phone (didn't use), and there was an air conditioner available for an extra fee (didn't use). The bathroom had plenty of room to move around as well.
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. We got into Venice early on July 1st (around 6am). Although the hotel wasn't even open yet the hotel staff allowed us to enter and store our bags there until we could check in.
Although the written directions are vague, take a look at the map they provide on their webpage and you should have no trouble finding it. We came from the train station and didn't take the water bus to the Ca' D'Oro stop, Venice is small enough that it wasn't a far walk (20 minutes), it was particularly nice as no one was up yet and the city was so quiet and peaceful. A wonderful first glance of Venice!
The breakfast was ok, a roll w/ jelly/butter, coffee/tea/hot chocolate, and toast. There seemed to be some other type of bread available but we got down there close to the end of the service so we missed that.
The hotel is in an excellent location. It was quite easy to get anywhere in the city from where we were. Yet we were not located directly in the touristy area of St. Mark's Square.
Defintely an excellent choice for the money. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!
The staff was extremely friendly. They even remembered us when we saw them out walking around Venice.

When deciding to go for an hotel, too many people just look for some accommodation in the Venice *island*.
However, Venice has also a ground part, Mestre, which is extremely convenient because it's just 10/15 minutes by train/bus, and because accommodation there is usually a lot cheaper than in Venice island.
Of course, you miss a bit of the charm (you'll be sleeping in a "normal" city), but if budget and convenience are an issue, give Venice-Mestre a try.
Mestre in general is a good city also for shopping, because that is where the locals stay and live. More and more "venice island" people are in fact moving to the ground part, just because prices are getting too much "touristic" in the island.
Of course, if you want the typical "souvenirs" then the island is the place to go, but if you are also interested in dress, food etc, then Mestre is definitely a place to consider as well. So even if you are sleeping in Venice, possibly consider Mestre for shopping. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherComparison: least expensiveDirections: Venice-Mestre is well served from the airport by bus, and is on the main train line to Venice island.

I have just returned from Venice where I stayed at this hotel - only a 5 minute walk from the Accademia Vaporetta stop in the Dorsoduro area. On arrival, the hotel staff were most pleasant and our bags were carried to our rooms.
I had a single room which although quite small was extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. I could not fault the room at all. For 99 euros per night I had a view of the Grand Canal, too.
I had read varying reports on the breakfast - some good, some not so positive. As with the room, I could not fault the breakfast with plenty of variety and as much as you could eat.
I would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful, peaceful location. NIce ambience. View of Grand Canal from many rooms. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Dorsoduro 1058, Venice, Veneto 30123Directions: Only a 5 minute walk from the Accademia Vaporetta.

We were camping near lake Garda before
we went to see Venice. We knew it was possible to camp near Venice and
that it was easy to reach.
Near lake Garda we had a **** campground
and payd 30 euro for a night. When we drove
to Lido Del Cavallino we noticed a big
sign saying
'SILVA - Camping at the beach'.
It had only one star.
But I was willing to give it a shot.
The big difference between this one and the
others we had was the price.
I don't understand a thing about the stars thing
in Italy.
'SILVA' has good and plenty of shower and
toilet accomodation. It had got a food store
as well as a restaurant where we ate a delicios
pizza Camping. (lol) And it was baked in a wood
oven.
And it is true , it is at the beach.
We stood in the parth near the road , that was
divided from it by a big hedge.
Our tent stood in the green green grass and
the trees gave us shadow. Great.
The best thing , we only paid 12 euro's for a night. Leave a Comment Theme: CampgroundPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Lido del CavallinoOther Contact: fax 041 968087
