Hotel is Venice
 

Hi everyone,

4 of us are traveling to Europe in May and we're trying to find a hotel in Venice. Any suggestions for an affordable hotel which will accommodate 4 people? I'm thinking in the $150-$200 range. I've looked at a lot of them but can't really narrow it down. We will be getting there on May 19th and might end up staying 2 nights. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

look in venere.com. make certain you request a room for 4 people. you're looking in the 100-150euro range. you might have to stay in meister, or maybe can find a place on lido. also look on murano, which has some realitively cheap places, and is much better than airport or meister.

In arriving in Venice by train in October 2012, I chose the Hotel St. Lucia, within easy walking distance of the train station. It's a one-star, but was good in every way given that hotel class. A 15-minute walk from St. Mark's Square, but easy access to a vaporetto stop at the station, and also a great nearby opportunity for a gondola ride through some of the back canals. It's a small place that can book up quickly. Look for their website if interested.

I'm thinking that someone that wants to spend only $150-200 for a room will likely not want a gondola ride? Or maybe they're saving their money for that?

This is a popular option but worth noting - that despite the hotel's name - it isn't actually in Venice or the lagoon but rather its on the mainland.

this hotel is at the airport. it has a number of advantages.

it is one of the few in which one can stay on points.
it is one of the few that has a free airport shuttle
one can get off the shuttle and catch the bus to venice proper(.small fee)
it has that feeling of never left home(if home is mid-usa)

:D:D

tb

maybe but its opposite the Railway Station.

i thought it near the airport, vce, and not next to the train sta.

The sophisticated Crowne Plaza Venice East-Quarto d'Altino hotel is your peaceful retreat, a 10 minute shuttle from Venice Marco Polo Airport.

it is near a train station on the mainland- but not the station in Venice (S. Lucia) proper.

Thats rite! The Train need just 30Min this is very fast.

Not exactly
 

We probably only spent $130 per night for a room and most definitely went on a gondola ride. Sometimes, the mindset on Flyertalk appears to be a bit too much into luxury, when there are other ways to enjoy travel. Fortunately, your comment suggested you understood what we were doing.
