Room rates, type of room (including breakfast) being equal, can anyone provide information about these hotels located in Venice. If the time of year matters, it will be May 6 to May 14, 2012.

Locanda di Orsaria
Hotel al Piave
Hotel al Ponte Mocenigo

Prime time for travel. It would be best to make a choice and try to book soon.

Locanda di Orsaria- based on location alone I would not choose this place. It is just off a very busy, unpleasant street lined with tacky shops. I would stay here only if you needed to be very close to the train station for some reason.

Hotel al Piave - good location, but I know nothing about the quality of the hotel

Hotel al Ponte Mocenigo - I've stayed here three times and would do so again. I love this place fr its quiet yet convenient location and pleasant level of service. It is my recent favorite in Venice. You can read about my 8-night stay here.

I stayed at Al Ponte Mocenigo last year. I liked it very much however can't compare to the others since I dont know those. We were in a superior room at the annex and that worked very well. Close proximity to a vaporetto stop is a plus.

ellenem and cruiseluv,

Thank you for your candid comments. Actually, I was leaning toward the Hotel al Ponte Mocenigo...it looks lovely online.

We stayed at Locanda di Orsaria in September. It was one of the only hotels that would allow a one night stay. We were there for a cruise and have been to Venice many times so we only wanted the one night. It is a small hotel. We had no noise at all. Our room was nice and clean. Free wifi. Good breakfast included. No elevator. Very nice staff. We would stay there again.

qwovadis, I can't decipher your message. Please explain.

I stayed at Hotel al Ponte Mocenigo in 2005 and liked it a lot - they were in the top three rated hotels via Trip Advisor ratings back then (can't remember the exact rating - but I was skeptical at that time because the price was so much lower than the other highly rated hotels/b&b's on TA-- and it turned out great! I see that they are #1 on TA now and with the positive recent reviews from Fodorites above- It's nice to see they must still be doing things right!

The owners were great and I have fond memories of the place. The location was good for walking to the train station with rolling luggage - and I preferred to be away from the main plaza location during the day.
