This 1 star hotel was recommended by Rick Steves from public tv as a moderate cost, basic hotel. Considering how expensive Venice is, I booked this thinking it would be basic, but sufficient at 375 euro for 3 nights. I honestly can't recommend this hotel. No TV, no free wifi, and the most depressing room I've slept in, ever. Even... More

If you are simply looking for a place to lay your head, this could meet that need. However, the rooms are like college dormatory rooms and the towels sink. They put a chemical bug control plug in our room to kill the mosquitoes that are let inside when the maid opens the window each day. The breakfast fills but is... More

I stayed here for 2 nights with my mom and sister and we had a great stay. The location of the hotel (once we found it for the first time!) was perfect for us- very close to St. Mark's Square and a few vaporetto stops. We had limited time in Venice, so we didn't spend much time in the hotel,... More

Stairs, stairs & more stairs. If you aren't ready to climb, don't go to Italy!! The Locanda Silva was a convenient location & a decent value, especially with the simple breakfast included. We had two beds in the room, and they were narrow, firm to the point of being hard, and very close together. The bathroom was typical for Italy... More

Having read mixed reviews prior to booking this hotel, I am pleased to say that we were not disappointed. In terms of the cost for hotels in Venice (exuberant prices!) then this budget hotel was ideal. The location was fantastic near to San Marco, so you can easily find when you have roamed for miles around the cross network of... More

This hotel is good value for what it is. It's centrally located (bring a map), breakfast is included which is great, the rooms are small and clean (not under the bed) but the beds aren't the most comfortable. I also forgot some things at the hotel and the staff has been fairly unresponsive to helping me get my things back.

The location and price make this a hotel well worth looking at. The rooms are basic and very small, the bathrooms tiny (with good towels) and on the surface clean (don't look under the bed!) Breakfast is continental and adequate served by helpful staff, it is ideal for a long weekend. Some tips; if the glass doors at the entrance... More

Staying in Venice is quite pricey, so for this location just a few minutes walk from San Marcos square, we enjoyed it! It was one of the cheaper options we had, located right along the water in one of the small side streets/canals. [pros] -Great location! A few minutes walk to San Marcos square, and a lot of the top... More

This was the usual basic no frills room, but we don't waste money on expensive hotels when we only need a comfortable bed. Great location, as mentioned before, hard to find but so is everything in Venice which is what we loved about Venice. Room was nice and quiet.
