Hotel Al Piave


When visiting Venice, there are a plethora of hotels to choose from.  Some are cheap hostels that can be good for college students.  Some are super expensive for the rich.  If you're looking for one that is moderately priced (around $200/night), Hotel Al Piave is a top notch choice.

The hotel is centrally located, making it within easy walking distance of most places in Venice.  When you first arrive in Venice either by public transit boat, shuttle boat or taxi boat, you'll need to get off at the S. Zaccaria landing, which is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.  The hotel provides easy walking directions from this dock on their site.

The hotel itself is very clean, with a friendly staff.  They even let us use the dining area when it was closed to eat lunch we brought back to the hotel.  In the mornings, a free full breakfast is provided.  They also provide a free shuttle service to Murano at any time that is convenient for you.

While the hotel is centrally located and easily walkable from most tourist sites, it's on a quiet road so that you aren't bothered with the hustle and bustle like some of the hotels in Venice.

Another positive was a great air-conditioning system, which during the summer months is definitely needed.
