Can anyone recommend a hotel/B&B in Venice ([livejournal.com profile] bookwormsarah yours looked lovely, but is full)?

When I arrived at the Venice train station after a night trip from Vienna, in 2001, there were people showing pics and promoting various B&B's. I had a one bedroom with BR for 40 euros a night, a short distance from the canal. Not sure that I can find the name of the place, but it was great. I'm sure you will have a great time. Wish I was there.

I don't know any hotels in Venice, either :-(

All knowledge is contained on LJ.

For a certain definition of knowledge.

Aha! LJ = Benjamin Jowett!

If LJ don't know it, it ain't knowledge.

The organisation is proving a little less than peaceful, but I'm really looking forward to going.

The last time we were in Venice, we stayed at a youth hostel called Palazzo Zenobio that was fairly reasonable and incredibly cheap. In 2002, I stayed in a lovely hotel called the Hotel Lisbona that was about a five-minute walk from the Piazza San Marco but I remember it being somewhat on the pricey side.

SO jealous that you're going to Venice! I want to go back...

Thank you, I shall look up. I am really looking forward to Venice - a post will shortly appeal for "what should we see?"

Btw I took a sleeper from Vienna to Venice- saved wasting daylight and £ on a room. Tell me more about your trip?

If you haven't read it I would recommend "Venice" by Jan Morris. Not really a guide book as such, more of a reflection capturing her/his love affair with the city, but will certainly lead you to all the places you should try and see interwovan with a sense of history. I'm so jealous!

Thanks - I have heard of that, but hadn't thought of it. No time before I go, but I shall have to get hold of a copy when I come home.
