Any recommedations please? Am getting very confused trying to work out where's best! Ta 🙂

Budget?

I mean, you could stay here if you had the money…

For what it's worth, I stayed here Lovely view from all bedrooms to the alps one way, and down the Grand canal the other way. It's a bit further from St. Marks square but it's only a 15 minute walk, and that's the whole point of venice, strolling down the streets.

yep what budget ?

try tripadvisor.co.uk

I wouldn't book any where these days without checking it out there.

I've stayed in this one. It was pretty good.

Can't remember the names of hotels, but every time I have been to Venice (3) we have eatan at the Vesuvius. It's kind of near the Ghetto, and proper Italian family place. Most of the restaurants are awful tourist traps sadly.

What budget, and which area do you want to stay in?

Stayed at the residenzacannaregio.it a coupole of times.

Nice, clean with a range of room sizes. Its in the north of the islands, but an easy 30 min walk to anywhere or close to the boats for the water bus service ( vaparetta ? ).

Somewhere upwind of the canals is my recommendation. You'll thank me when you don't have the strong smell of sewage wafting in through your bedroom window. They say Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world.

I assume 'they' are big fans of Coprophagy.

Hotel Aldo Mori

Really nice little hotel, inexpensive and just behind St Mark's Square so very central. I've recommended this a few times and everyone's been really pleased with it.

Stayed in this one a couple of years ago

Locanda Al Gambero

No complaints! Centrally located for sightseeing!

If you really want to push the boat out try the Excelsior on the Venice Lido, it's a water taxi from St Marks, but it's way way better than staying in the city and you get beach thrown in.

Good value, nice rooms.
