A comfortable and affordable hotel in Venice, just a few minutes from the train station, and the Piazzale Roma car and bus terminal - the Hotel Locanda Salieri is beautifully positioned for seeing the sights of the historic downtown area. This is the western side of Venice, the meeting point of several districts (or 'sestieri') including San Polo, Santa Croce and Dorsoduro. From here it is a manageable walk east to Piazza San Marco and St Mark's Basilica. The rooms (just ten of them) have been comfortably remodelled, with private bathrooms, air conditioning, phone, TV, internet jack and wi-fi connection. Must-see sights near here include the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Accademia. This is the university quarter of town, with good bars, cafes and bookshops.
