Located a five-minute stroll from the Santa Lucia train station, and just down a palm-tree-lined alleyway, the 15-room Hotel Santa Lucia feels like a Miami breeze.

The Hotel Villa Rosa offers 33 sparkling rooms two blocks from the train station. Even with this super-central location, it still manages to be quite peaceful.

Located a minute away from San Marco and just off a happening little campo, the Locanda al Leon hotel packs in the charm (and history).

Situated in a palazzo from the Belle Epoque era, the Locanda Art Deco is equal parts historic and hip. 

The Locanda Ca' San Polo boasts are great location and 16 comfortable guest rooms.

Set on the tranquil square, Santo Giovanni Novo, the six-room Locanda Casa Querini is a family-run charmer with classic Venetian style.

The Fiorita offers 10 happy rooms, housed in a 15th-century red palazzo on the Campiello Novo.

The sweet Locanda Silva offers 23 simple rooms in a historic building not far from San Marco.

The friendly owner of the Locanda SS. Giovanni e Paolo is a traditionalist, and his six-room hotel maintains the feel of the 18th-century palazzo that houses it.

A bare-bones student lodging, the Ostello Santa Fosca isn't for everyone, but its unique historic building make for an experience, and its rock-bottom rates can't be beat. 

Offering a fabulous location and that extra something special, the Pensione Guerrato has long been a EuroCheapo fave.

The six-room Residenza Ca' Riccio is a gem of a spot, with old-fashioned charm, friendly service and a cool location in part of what was once a 15th-century cloister.
