The Hotel Al Gazzettino is situated in one of the most crowded and confusing blocks of the San Marco area. Simone, his dad, and Uncle Lazzari run this little hotel along with a restaurant of the same name just around the corner.
Once you actually find the hotel, a tiny, cluttered, and cozy lobby awaits. An ultra kitsch Virgin Mary seems to smile upon you as you make your way up the stairs to the bright bedrooms. Your eyes will need to adjust to the loud reds and blues, which burst from the walls in a fabulously budget version of Venetian style. There are gold-painted mirrors, damask wallpaper, shiny light fixtures in Murano, and the busiest bedding we've ever encountered!
Bathrooms are big and new-ish, and the unmistakable smell of fresh paint lingers in the air. Six rooms offer canal views.
The friendly staff and silly faux Venice-style rooms are a steal in low season, but steer clear during Carnival and Christmas, when rates are significantly higher.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Al Gazzettino neighborhood
Located to the east of the Grand Canal, the San Marco neighborhood is the city's commercial, tourist, and religious core. The magnificent Piazza San Marco and Saint Mark's Basilica attract wandering tourists (and hungry pigeons) like a magnet. The Rialto Bridge on the north side of San Marco is a beautiful, bustling mess, where boats unload, tourists amass, and pricey boutiques hawk their wares. Between the landmarks, countless churches, restaurants, shops and sites make San Marco the busiest neighborhood in Venice. Things calm down a bit around the southern part of San Marco near the Accademia Bridge, in the area surrounding Campo San Stefano. Dominated by the San Stefano church, the streets on the southern end are filled with performers, little shops, restaurants, and far fewer tourists.
