Venice hotel?

[roupa]

Looking for pre cruise hotel suggestions...3 nights, end of May.

Do you have any loyalty points with any hotel?  We use Hilton and this hotel was amazing.

rather difficult to answer since you don't indicate how many people or budget.  Also, can you manage your luggage for a few blocks,  or on/off a water bus , or over a bridge or 2 ?  do you need an elevator ?

 

With 3 nights I'd choose an apt over a hotel.  We really enjoyed having the little kitchen for drinks, snacks, simple b'fasts.  

 

If you have too much luggage you may want to stay by the Piazzale Roma (where buses, taxis, shuttles drop off their passengers).  There are a few hotels that are right on the plaza so you won't have to move your luggage, or there are several hotels that require a small bridge crossing.  This link will help with your search: https://europeforvisitors.com/venice/venice-hotels.htm

Thank you all.

We are a party of two seniors...pretty mobile.   Hopefully we will have easy/portable luggage ( I am learning to pack lightly these days!)

Not looking for tip-top luxury, just someplace with character, clean and hospitable.

Will possibly arrive from airport via alilaguna waterbus then head to the cruise port on the "people mover" we have read about.

the people mover runs between Piazzale Roma and the cruise port ( and then to a parking island).  So are you saying you prefer to stay near P Roma ?  That would be easiest if it's important for you to take the People Mover. In that case look at the hotels in this link  (if you need an elevator be sure to look in the details). Be prepared for sticker shock.

OR you could stay anywhere on the island then on cruise day, walk or take the water bus to P Roma to catch the monorail.  

 

I've stayed at 3 different apts near the Rialto Bridge (owned by the owner of the Pensione Gueratto). The smallest unit might work for you. ... the apt is modern but if I remember correctly the bldg is 12th century. Love that area.  Close to everything and has personality.  

Good luck with your research and planning !

We loved Ca’Angeli.    Great location.  Nice ,clean rooms. Elevator. Steps from the Grand Canal. Highly rated.   About $ 250 / night with breakfast.

Ca Angeli is best accessed by water taxi.   Water taxi, although pricey is the best way by far to arrive in Venice and well worth the cost after a tiring flight. Most people find 2-4 others to share with at the water taxi desk in arrivals.

We booked Hotel Antiche Figure for our upcoming trip, liked the proximity to Saint Lucia Station and port.  Hotel reviews are good, it will be our first time staying.  Good rates.
