Hotels in Venice
I am going to Venice (two couples) for a weekend at the beginning of December. Can anyone suggest a good hotel? I don't mind spending a bit but I want a hotel with a bit of life in it! Any suggestions?

We were in Venice two years ago and stayed at the Hotel Principe. I believe it started around 150 Euros a night.

It was right on the grand canal - some rooms even have a view of it and everyone can use the patio/balcony on the lower level. It's close to the train station and not far from St. Mark's square.

I think if you want the hotel to have a "bit of life" you have to supply that yourself, LOL!
Seriously though BW what did you mean? A room with a great view, real close to Piazza San Marco. I am not sure what you meant either.

I stayed at the Hotel Spagna in Canareggio-wonderful place and price (120euro). In my opinion, it makes sense to arrive into Venice (Santa Lucia station), drop your bags (the hotel is a five minutes walk, at best - no point spending on an expensive water taxi to take you and your bags to San Marco and similar touristy areas) and explore the city on foot. There are lots of great hotels in venice including the danieli and gritti palace, so its really a function of your budget/location preference.

I usually offer up my favorite Pensione La Calcina. But I like it because it is calm, peaceful, quiet, a bit off the beaten path... so don't think it fits the "Bit of Life" requirement -LOL.

Don't know if you are still looking, but this might do it.

I can't believe a Venice thread has gotten this far along with no suggestion of Locanda Orseolo! I don't know what "a bit of life" means, but it gets rave reviews for its hospitality---not to mention the quality of its accommodations. It is frequently the #1 listing at tripadvisor.

See reviews here and on tripadvisor. We would be staying there, except they're closed at the time we'll be in Venice in January.

How about Al Campaniel ? It's actually a small bed and breakfast, but the rooms are big, everything is VERY clean and Marco (the manager and the owner I believe) is the best when it comes to clients treatment. During our recent trip we stayed 3 nights in Superior Double room with private bathroom inside (~80 Euros per night) and one additional night in Standard Double room with private bathroom just next to the room (58 Euros).
The place is about 50 meters from S.Toma vaporetto station and about 20 minutes (on foot) from S.Marco.
Very highly recommended !
