Hotel Ai Do Mori

Holy location, Cheapo! The Hotel Ai Do Mori sits across the street from St. Mark’s Basilica. It’s a tiny, tightly run operation with budget-friendly one-star rooms and killer views.

Quick read

Pros: The location and the views (oh, the views). Superb value.

Cons: No elevator.

Rooms

The Ai Do Mori’s 11 pretty rooms sport a blue or yellow Venetian style that is clean and fresh. Furnishings aren’t gilded or antique, but rather basic and made of dark wood. All rooms are equipped with a satellite TV, telephone, safe and air conditioning.

The bell tower views from almost every room (either full-on or from the side) are awe-inspiring. Rooms that don’t face the square look out over rooftops.

Guest rooms are spread out over three floors, and one additional room, suitable for the young and spry, is located at the tip-top of the hotel and boasts its own small terrace.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms, either private or shared, are tiny and tidy, and most have a shower. (Two bathrooms have tubs.) A hair dryer is available in each bathroom.

Hotel

The Hotel Ai Do Mori does not offer breakfast, but free Wi-Fi is available. Like most old hotels in Venice, this one does not have an elevator. Note: Hotel Ai Do Mori is a cash-only operation.

Reserving at the Hotel Ai Do Mori

As we point out above, the Ai Do Mori does not offer online booking. To reserve a room, you’ll have to contact the hotel directly by email or telephone (see below).
