Locanda SalieriEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Hotel Locanda Salieri, located 10 minutes from the train station on the border of Santa Croce and Dorsoduro, is a Cheapo-friendly one-star hotel with a healthy dose of charm.

Named after the famous 18th-century composer, the hotel retains a slight "classical" theme, with violins and musical-themed art mixing with some antiques in the hallways. The Salieri’s 11 rooms, though small, are stylish. You'll be happy to bed down among clean white walls, delicate lace curtains, Oriental rugs and soft-colored bedding. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, cable TV and a telephone.

More than half the rooms have a balcony—many overlooking the Canal del Gaffaro. But keep your cicchetti cravings under control: It's a tight squeeze through those glass doors to the miniscule, though wholly romantic balconies. Those not facing the canal look back over a garden.

Colorfully tiled bathrooms are small but pristine. All are equipped with a shower and hair dryer.

Breakfast is included in the room rate. Wi-Fi is provided throughout the hotel for free. The Salieri’s friendly management also runs the Locanda Art Deco and the San Samuele.
