Unsure if you can do Venice on a budget? Yes you can. Very basic and dated but very clean hotel, our room was spacious, excellent bed and private bedroom. Free parking and 15 mins to Venice by foot and then train at €1.30 each way! It is a 1 star hotel, based I’m sure on lack of extras, however, clean bedding, towels and shower gel all we needed for our 1 night stay.

This is a stunning boutique hotel with just 16 rooms set in the great neighbourhood of Dorsoduro. We were welcomed with a drink of our choice and shown round the public areas including the garden, which will be beautiful in warmer weather. Our penthouse room was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed including coffee machine. All the staff were lovely and helpful especially the lady that ran the breakfast room making us fresh eggs and plenty of coffee. We didnt experience the spa so cant comment on that but maybe next time. Brilliant location whether arriving in Venice by bus or vaporetto.
