The 51-room, upscale Savoia & Jolanda Hotel is an elegant and traditionally styled property that is spread over two buildings -- one overlooking a waterfront promenade, the other a piazza and pretty church. A buffet breakfast of hot and cold items is included, and guests can dine on a terrace overlooking the canal -- the restaurant opens to non-guests, as well, for lunch and dinner. Interiors are typically classical Venetian and all rooms are air-conditioned with marble-finished bathrooms. While suites have superb views over the water, noise from the restaurants and street can also be an issue. The central location near St. Mark's Square and lagoon-front setting bump up the rates a little -- but it's still one of the cheaper options in the area.

The San Cassiano Residenza d'Epoca Ca' Favretto is an upper-middle-range, 36-room former mansion right on the Grand Canal. Its canal-front setting is certainly a highlight, with nearly all tourists attractions within walking distance -- though it's not the easiest hotel to find on foot. Both breakfast salon and bar are pleasant though, and breakfast is tasty and included in the rate. Many rooms overlook Venice's main waterway, though some Standard Rooms can feel a little tired and pokey. Rates are reasonable for the location and class -- and typically competitive with the nearby Al Ponte Mocenigo and Ca' San Giorgio hotels -- but an upgrade to a Superior Room might be worth the extra.

The Domina Home Ca' Zusto is an upper-middle-range, 22-room boutique hotel set in a 14th century palazzo with colorful 21st century interiors. The location is great for easy access from the train and bus terminals, though it's a bit of a stroll (admittedly a pleasant one) to Venice's main attractions. Rooms are nicely finished and full of character, with wood floors set off by rich jewel tones. However, in-room Wi-Fi is often not available, and windows lack screens -- beware of open windows during mosquito season. There's a lovely stone courtyard area that offers a serene respite from the brightly colored interior decor. All in all, it's a fun and boldly modernized hotel and rates are a surprisingly good value for this notoriously expensive destination.

The 33-room Hotel Scandinavia is a historic Venice property that appeals to budget-minded travelers who want an affordable, centrally located hotel. The no-frills property serves a free breakfast in an elegant wood-paneled salon and offers 24-hour front desk service and a small upstairs lounge area. Traditional rooms have flat-screen TVs, classic decor, mini-fridges, and safes, but some furnishings feel dated. Some rooms have balconies with views of the Santa Maria Formosa church. Guests seeking modern interior furnishings can try the similarly priced Hotel Palazzo Vitturi.

With its four apartment-style rooms, the mid-range pearl Residence Palazzo Odoni guesthouse is a homey, welcoming hotel on a picturesque Venetian canal.

It's a little tucked away from the heart of the city on a quiet side canal, but all the city's major sights are within walking distance. The residence is popular with families, couples, and groups who want a bit of peace and quiet and affordable place to stay; those who want to be in the center of the tourist spots might be disappointed.

The mid-range, 26-room Palazzo Sant'Angelo sul Canal Grande feels like a classical Venetian hotel, from its 19th-century palazzo to the opulent, antique-inspired decor.

Rooms are boldly decorated and have jetted tubs; some overlook the Grand Canal and some have small private balconies. Expect to pay for Wi-Fi.

Ca'Bragadin Carabba is well situated for sightseeing in Venice and offers a clean and simple place to stay in a bustling city -- but has few other amenities. The value hotel occupies a renovated 14th-century palace that was once home to Casanova, and its 10 guest rooms and suites -- though simple and a bit dated -- have fully stocked minibars and 18th-century-inspired decorative touches. There are no extras here, other than the oft-spotty Wi-Fi and free breakfast for guests staying in suites. Accordingly, rates are quite low given the caliber of rooms and central location.
