Budget Hotels in Venice - San Marco
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008
The San Marco neighborhood is the virtual heart of the city. Containing St. Mark’s square it contains some of the most visited destinations by tourists. This district or sesteri contains the Rialto Bridge which has many shops and expensive boutiques that not the average tourist can afford to shop. If you want a calmer part of this neighborhood then head towards the southern part of San Marco as that is visited by fewer tourists and is conveniently located near the Accademia bridge which leads to many other of Venice’s hot spots and must see destinations.
Below are five of the best budget hotels in San Marco although there may be many others if you are willing to look.
Al Gazzettino
San Marco 4971 - Calle de Mezo
A very small but cozy hotel that is run by a very friendly family. The décor is a mix of modern and antique with a not so surprising Italian flair.

Caneva
San Marco 5515 - Corte del Drio la Fava
A larger hotel with 23 rooms this is a must see! You see 17 rooms in this hotel face the canal and are available if you ask ahead of time. So how about that ? A budget hotel with canal views. Does it get any better then this?

Hotel Riva
Ponte dell Angelo, 5310
On the corner of two canals this hotel is bound to suit anyone with a desire for a canal view room. Small but with air conditioning and quaint decorations this is a hotel that is ideal for those that want to explore the city and not watch television as there is none in any of the rooms.

Locanda Fiorita
San Marco 3457/A - Campiello Novo o dei Morti
This hotel is of course housed in a 15th century Palazzo. It is a charming hotel that is full of flowers during the height of tourist season hence the name.

Noemi
San Marco 909 - Calle dei Fabbri
An eclectic hotel by Venice standards you will find yourself surrounded with both Murano and Asian inspired decorations that surprisingly work together.
