I would go for the Castello location, which is quiet but not too far from lots of things you will want to see. The Santa Croce hotel looks too close to the Piazzale Roma, a somewhat soulless area, if that exists in Venice.
I agree.
It's not even close - the Hotel Locanda Ca' Valeri is a MUCH better location. More central, more convenient (and close to both Arsenale and San Zaccaaria vaporetto stops) and in a WAY more charming neighborhood. It's also convenient to the slew of inexpensive locals' places along Via Giuseppe Garibaldi.
GotoEurope,
I'm planning a few days in Venice for
April of next year.
What is the rate for a double?
Neither! The Salieri is in a very unfavourable location, also it seems to have a Karaokee bar on the ground floor (OMG!). The Ca´Valeri is in a better location but also gets quiet a few unfavourable reviews (in German) which are speaking of ants in the rooms, standard rooms being on the ground floor with windows that high you cannot look out and a rude owner. There are many better options in Venice I think.
To view the area around the B&B use this one: http://maps.veniceconnected.it/en Lots of fun!
The bar/restaurant is actually next to the hotel which is part of the hotel and if you're staying in a room with the canal view, you will hear the noise from the restaurant up until a few minutes after 12:00 midnight! The service i.e., restaurant reservation is almost non-existent and though advertises air-con; they turn off the central control after the summer eventhough, it was very warm (end of Sept.), upper 80's, and again if your room is on the canal, you're facing west, your room will be very warm.
The OP's trip was 6 months ago.
Not quite, caroline - it was 1-1/2 years ago!
Oh yes! I only looked at the month.
