Hotel Locanda Salieri

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.

Quick read

Pros: Good value. Friendly staff.

Cons: Some noise. No elevator.

Rooms

Although they are small, the Locanda Salieri’s 11 guest rooms are stylish. You'll be happy to bed down among clean white walls, delicate lace curtains, Oriental rugs and soft-colored comforters.

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 overlook a back garden.

Bathrooms

The colorfully tiled private bathrooms are small but pristine. All are equipped with a shower and hair dryer.

Hotel

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 Albergo San Samuele, both EuroCheapo picks.

Note that the hotel does not have an elevator.
