Locanda Vivaldi, Venice

Advantages: PRICE and GOOD LOCATION
Disadvantages: STAIRS AND ATTIC ROOM

...LOCANDA NOVO is a small Hotel , they describe it as an Inn, located on the main Island of Venice. We Quatro Fontanas (Fountain Travel Group) have stayed there once, and would consider it again. For the price this Hotel is very good but there are some limitations that might put you off if you have dodgy knees. First the location, OK it is not St Marks but you are not paying St Mark's prices. If you look through WWW.HOTELSCOMPARISON.COM site you will find offers of less than £50 per night for a double room with breakfast. The Hotel has its own web site WWW.LOCANDANOVO.IT which is quite good, but you will get a better price booking through other sites, but it does show you the official rate... Read review

...We actually stayed in the Anex of Hotel Colombia that is called LOCANDA REMEDIO. You use the checkin of the Colombina, then they take you thru the back yard, DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU. You then enter the Anex climbing a stone stairway that opens into a Beautiful Salon, this is where you will have breakfast, superb compared with small breakfast room in the main Hotel. The staff come across in the morning and set the tables in the Salon. The rooms around the Salon vary in size, some quite small (This is Venice) but all encharting. Location, 100 yards from Saint Marks. Cost we usually get a Double with Breakfast in March for about £40 to £50 a night. 2008 cant wait.... Read review

...I recently stayed in a great little 1 star hotel in Venice for two nights. The hotel was called the Locanda Fiorita. It is about 5 mins walk from St Marcs square (THE hub of Venice) and is easily accessible from the airport from waterbus. We arrived very late, (1am ish), and it appeared that the front desk is manned 24 hours a day as there was someone there again on the last day when we left particularly early. The rooms are large and comfortable and I think ours was a bit larger than most as we also had a lounge, (when do you get a lounge in a hotel room of any calibre let alone a 1 star!). The room was quite quiet with occasionally a bit of noise, and all the amenities you require (i.e. bathroom / soaps towels / wardobe / BED!) plus a TV above the bed with about 50 channels. Breakfast was included and we were given vouchers... Read review
