Palazzo Contarini della Porta di Ferro is a romantic 14th-century Venetian “palazzo” that's within walking distance of St. Mark's Square. This upper-middle-range property has 19 guest rooms and suites, some of which are two- or three-bedroom apartment-style accommodations with separate dining areas and kitchenettes. Many have views over the San Francesco canal, flower garden, courtyard, or roofs of Venice. The “palazzo” is filled with period details like stone doorways and exposed wood-beam ceilings. Though there's lots of Old World charm here, some of the rooms show signs of wear and tear, and those next to the canal can pick up unpleasant odors. Breakfast is served in guest rooms or on a pleasant terrace, but it's an additional fee. As an alternative, the nearby Liassidi Palace Hotel includes breakfast and serves it in a room overlooking the canal.

The charming one-pearl Ca’ Fontanea is an authentic bed-and-breakfast that’s ideal for couples looking to stay in the heart of a residential neighborhood in Venice. A friendly staff and a breakfast buffet -- included with some rates -- give it a homey vibe. And the property's six guest rooms with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and air-conditioning make this hotel an attractive and modern budget option. But the location is a 20- to 30-minute trip to the city's main attractions. As an alternative, travelers looking for a hotel that’s closer to the city center with a historical background could opt for Hotel Casa Petrarca.

The Hotel Violino d'Oro is a pretty typical mid-range Venice hotel complete with the classical Venetian interiors and canal-side setting. However, its location is superb -- set in the touristic center of the city, a five-minute walk from St. Mark's Square. The steady stream of gondolas outside its door (and some rooms' windows) is picturesque but might get a bit much at times. Also Annex rooms, although generally cheaper, might disappoint. Otherwise, guest rooms are classically decorated with tasseled drapes and floral wallpaper, and have flat-screen TVs and minibars. The free breakfast buffet includes pastries and other cold items. Overall, rates are certainly competitive, and the setting is perfect for that unashamed tourist experience.

The Hotel Al Vagon is a centrally located one-pearl, budget hotel with basic rooms and few extra property features, with accordingly low rates. It's near the city's tourist center, a four-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge and a 10-minute walk to St. Mark's Square. The 20 rooms are spread across two different buildings and tend to be sparse, though all feature classic Venetian furniture, modern en-suite bathrooms, and individually controlled air-conditioning. Despite wear and tear, rooms are clean and housekeeping comes daily, a real boon for a one-pearl property. There is a restaurant on the premises, but it is not owned by the hotel and doesn't serve breakfast. The Ca' Bragadin Carabba is a higher pearl property with comparable rates, but it's not as accessible to city sights.

Built in the 1950s, this two-and-a-half-pearl property is less than a 10-minute walk from Venice Beach. The 23 apartment-style rooms are pleasant and homey, with expected tropical details, and range from efficiencies with kitchenettes to two-bedroom units with full kitchens. The hotel has a pair of small outdoor heated pools, and bikes can be rented at no extra cost. It's a good choice for travelers looking for a budget-friendly home away from home, and those who prefer and independent vacation without the trappings of big-box resorts. The grounds are tropical and well-kept, and the units are clean and modern, with lower rates than at other nearby properties, such as the Inn at the Beach.

A 97-room classic Venetian property, B4 Bellini Venezia overlooks the Grand Canal near the bus terminal and train station. Rooms are traditional and elegant with small flat-screen TVs, Murano glass lamps, and big marble bathrooms -- some rooms have nice balconies, too. A bright breakfast room overlooks the garden and breakfast is free, but Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby and bar. Just note that the Cannaregio location is a significant trek from many popular tourist sights.

The 28-room, two-pearl Hotel Guerrini is a typical small Venetian hotel with few frills. The biggest plus is its convenient location near the Grand Canal and St. Lucia Station. Several water taxis also stop just a three-minute walk from the hotel and the bus station is only 10 minutes away on foot. Its rooms are basic, with antique-style decor, and some bathrooms are shared. The hotel's continental breakfast is free, as is Wi-Fi, though it doesn't always work well. Another budget option in the neighborhood is the Hotel Hesperia, which has a rooftop patio and some rooms with canal views, though it will be more expensive.

The 24-room Hotel Bella Venezia is a three-pearl property in Venice’s busiest district, San Marco. It has two separate buildings, with the alcove located down a scruffy alley. The hotel relies on its setting, as the rooms are quite simple, with a classic Venetian style that feels more run-down than posh in some areas. High-end amenities include flat-screen TVs and minibars, with safes and telephones in all of the rooms as well. The breakfast room is light and bright, but can become crowded, and the continental buffet is a hefty additional cost, especially as there are so many cafes nearby. What's more? The prime location means rates are steep. For a more glamorous stay in San Marco, consider Hotel Dei Dragomanni instead, where rates aren't much higher.

The nine-room, mid-range Novecento Boutique Hotel is a family-owned inn in a quiet but central location that's convenient for both tourists and business travelers. Romantic and packed with character, the Novecento is exquisitely stylish, with quirky decor combining Mediterranean and Asian influences to create a cozy, visually inspiring space. Guest rooms are individually decorated with antiques, gorgeous textiles, and fun lighting fixtures, and have lovely modern bathrooms that, though on the small side, feel luxurious. Hotel Campiello is a comparable property in this price range though its decor isn't quite as special.
