--- <BR>Scott: <BR> <BR>Just booked a room at the Hotel Galleria which is close to the Accademia & I'm told it has a view of the Canal. It's strictly a budget level accommadation, a 1 star hotel --- actually I'm expecting the room (a single) to be so small that I'll need to step outside to change my mind. But for only 100,000 lire, the price is right! <BR>This place just has 10 rooms --- a few have bathrooms en suite, most of them don't. As the price may indicate I'll be one of those trekking down the hall. <BR>However even the larger rooms are a good price at 150,000 & 160,000 (without bathroom) & 180,000 (w/bathrm). They also have 1 "family" room, a big twin bed rm w/bathrm at 220,000. <BR> <BR>Since this is my first visit to Venice, I don't know what the place is like. But it is nicely situated by the Accademia bridge & vaporetto stop. <BR>I'll be there Oct 24 - Oct 27. <BR> <BR>E-mail = [email protected] <BR>Tel: 041/5232489 <BR>Fax: 0415204172
