Casa Sant'Andrea sits on a quiet canal-facing street, a short walk from Venice’s Santa Lucia Railway Station and the Grand Canal. This 16th-century building was once a monastery, but is now an affordable two-pearl alternative to the larger properties found in the oftentimes crowded San Marco area. There are 29 air-conditioned rooms spread over three floors; some face the canal and have original features such as exposed wood-beam ceilings. Be warned that some rooms have shared bathrooms. A free continental breakfast is included, as is Wi-Fi, and there's a meeting room for business travelers that has typical Venetian decor, with exposed wooden beams and Murano chandeliers.

The eight-room Ca' dei Dogi is a lovely mid-range Venetian hideaway consisting of six individually decorated rooms and two apartments: Sun and Moon. Ca’ dei Dogi, built in a former 15th-century palace, is ideally located a few minutes’ walk from the Piazza San Marco and the Bridge of Sighs, but tucked away in a quiet corner among Venice’s picturesque winding alleys. Rooms and apartments are each unique, but all are clean and charming, with beautiful, if small, marble bathrooms and nice touches such as exposed wood beam ceilings and furnished balconies. Wi-Fi is free throughout. Prices are competitive given the excellent location -- the nearby Best Western Hotel Ala is often more, and guests tend to prefer it here. All in all, this is one of Venice's best values.

The Ai Mori d'Oriente is an upper-middle-range hotel with 21 rooms across two buildings in a 15th century former palace. Located a 20-minute walk outside of the main tourist area, this hotel is in a quiet residential spot with some good value, authentic restaurants nearby, as well as some less well-known attractions. Rooms are sumptuous, spacious, and well-kept with a North African twist on Venetian style (though some of the Classic Rooms feel a touch dated and are cramped). There’s no restaurant here, but a breakfast buffet is included and can be taken in the pretty courtyard during warmer weather. Rates are lower here than hotels in the main tourist areas, so for those who don’t mind a walk, it offers great value.

Kette Hotel is a decent mid-range hotel housed in a 16th-century palazzo. 63 guest rooms have air-conditioning and minibars, but lack sufficient electrical outlets and decor looks faded and worn in some areas. Canal views and flat-screen TVs are nice extras. Free breakfast is served in an interior room. Unusual for older hotels in Venice, this property has two elevators, which makes getting heavy luggage up to the rooms easy. Compare rates at the nearby Hotel San Moise, which has slightly cheaper rooms in the same brilliant, walkable neighborhood.

The upscale Ca' dei Conti is a charming hotel with 36 rooms set in an 18th century building. Its location is excellent, within a five-minute walk of all the top sights such as St Mark's Square and the Bridge of Sighs.

The 51-room upscale Royal San Marco Hotel occupies a historic former residence in the heart of Venice, within a short walk of the Piazza San Marco. The family-friendly property is unabashedly tourist-oriented, and the location is a main draw. The hotel is spacious for a hotel in central Venice, with a small, unassuming bar and a mezzanine TV room. Guest rooms are small and heavily decorated with Venetian-style furniture and drapes; bathrooms are clean, but tiny and could use an update. Guests seeking local charm may want to compare rates with some of the many area boutique hotels, such as the Novecento Boutique Hotel.

The upper-middle-range Hotel Ai Due Principi is a 15-room, canal-side hotel set in the Castello region of central Venice.

Breakfast is included, though its nothing special, and there's a small bar offering evening drinks. Other options in the area include the Savoia & Jolanda Hotel which is similarly priced and has free Wi-Fi and a restaurant on-site.

Hotel alla Fava is a budget hotel with 15 air-conditioned rooms that's close to the Rialto Bridge and a 10-minute walk from St Mark's Square. The location is superb for exploring most of Venice's tourist attractions, though the hotel can be hard to find in the surrounding maze of streets. Interiors are a little muddled and some rooms could use a refresh, but the place is more than adequately clean and comfortable. Most of the rooms are nicely finished, and refreshingly light on the usual classical Venetian kitsch, though some Economy Rooms are tiny and two share bathrooms. Rates are certainly high for this category of hotel, but the location is hard to beat and the free breakfast is a great bonus.
