In Venice, everything about a hotel comes down to how far you and your luggage have to walk from the nearest vaporetto stop, and how many bridges lie in between. Rooms are small and often up stairs, and there are no cars anywhere. Mestre, on the mainland, is dramatically cheaper and ten minutes by train, at the cost of the early morning and late evening city that makes Venice worth it.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 316 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
