Venice Travel Forum

I need help in booking a double room in Venice, say 100-120 euro per night for two persons and all the hotels that I looked at are not available on May 02. Is this the high season? Any suggestion? Many thanks.

There's no low or high season as such in Venice, there are slightly quieter months but it's very busy throughout the year (although with a bit of imagination, you can easily lose the hordes).

Try La Calcina, possibly Venice's best hotel in its category, the Seguso pensione is also excellent.

check out venere.com - doh

I usually recommend Venere.com, but I tried putting in that date for 2 people, and the available hotels are only 12, the cheapest is 135 euros - Hotel Al Soffiador on Murano which includes breakfast, the next cheapest is 179 euros

well that is ridiculous for sure - last time i was in venice i had a local helping me and found a very nice room for 50 euro - maybe it has gone mad

Oops pressed Post Answer button too soon! I also looked at areas around Venice - again not a great choice Mestre has a 3* hotel- Hotel Piave 'a stones throw from the train station' for 105 euros per room per night inc. buffet breakfast.

Are you just stopping one night in Venice? if stopping longer, there are appartments to rent etc. Also try Hostalbookers.com , Bookings.com

Good Luck!

It is Ascension Day on Thursday the 1st of May. We are off here in Sweden, and I think the UK has a bank holiday, so also a long weekend for them. And most likely many more European countries enjoy a long weekend. I can very well imagine that a lot of people are on a short break to enjoy spring in Venice, hence unfortuntely for you, higher prices and not that many rooms available.

Thanks VTers for your quick responses, I finally found something through booking.com. It's more than I wish to pay but I guess it's better than arriving a city with luggages on both hands but no place to go. Many thanks again!

Hi,

I'll be going around that time too, you were saying you some a hotel slightly more expensive, care to share where it is?

It's the Collegio Armeno Moorat Raphael. I don't know anything about this hotel, I'll post a review after my stay.
