Venice is an indecently expensive city in terms of housing. Here you can pay for 3 stars, as in other places for 5, while the service very often leaves much to be desired. Today BlogoItaliano has selected for you the best 3 star Venice hotels in the historical part of the city. Of course, you can’t call them completely budgetary, but they firmly earned a good reputation, verified by hundreds of travelers.
Hotel Locanda Al Leon
This small family-run hotel is located in the very center of Venice. You can easily walk to the main attractions of the city, and St. Mark's Square is just a couple of minutes from it.
The hotel is located in a quiet street in a charming historic building of the 15th century, which was completely renovated by the owners. Perhaps the gray walls of the facade at first glance seem unsightly, but behind them are 12 comfortable rooms with classic Venetian interiors.
Small family hotel in the city center
The atmosphere of each room is created by details: walls, upholstered in fabric with an elegant pattern, harmoniously selected curtains and bedding, Murano glass chandeliers and classic-style furniture.
The rooms on the attic floor have access to the terrace, where you can spend a wonderful evening with a glass of local wine or meet the morning with a cup of aromatic coffee.
Perhaps the only drawback of the hotel is the lack of an elevator. Instead, a rather steep staircase leads to the upper floors. But there’s no need to worry about this, the staff will certainly help to raise your luggage.

B&B Fortuny
This bed and breakfast is a great option for those looking to explore Venice actively.
B&B Fortuny is located in the San Marco area, very close to the vaporetto pier, so it will be convenient to get to both the airport and the railway station. The location is very good: on the one hand, away from noisy streets, on the other - not far from the center. The main attractions of Venice are a 10-15 minute walk.
The hotel is usually met by the owner himself - Andre, who is ready to help in any matter and try to make your stay in the city interesting.
He will gladly tell you about secret places and little-known walking routes, advise where they feed better, provide a raincoat or umbrella in bad weather. In a word, it will be taken care of as relatives.
The hotel has a minimalist interior - there is nothing superfluous, but there is everything you need
Such a warm attitude towards guests is one of the reasons why travelers highly value this place.
The hotel rooms are large enough for Venice, always suffering from a lack of space. Light and minimalistic interior, where there is nothing superfluous, but there is everything you need.
If you decide to opt for B&B Fortuny, we advise you to take care of your reservation as early as possible: the hotel is very tiny and has only 3 rooms, but there are plenty of tourists who want to stay here. This, incidentally, is not surprising, because the hotel rating on reviews on Booking.com - 9.7 points out of 10 possible.

Hotel Polo's Treasures
Polo's Treasures is an aparthotel located in one of the central areas of Venice. Just a couple of steps - and you are on the embankment of the Grand Canal. Another 5 minutes - and in front of you is the Rialto Bridge. There are other sights nearby: here and there are scattered churches, galleries and a palazzo.
The hotel is ready to provide guests with one of the four apartments available, which provide all the necessary household amenities.
The hotel has only 4 rooms with kitchen and necessary utensils.
Each room is quite a normal apartment with a kitchen and appropriate accessories, and this is an important factor in expensive and not always tasty Venice.
In addition, there is a fish market just around the corner where you can buy the freshest seafood for dinner at least every day.
The apartments are simple, but elegant enough. Nice looking colors, light walls, velvet sofas and soft lighting together create a pleasant atmosphere in which it is easy to relax after a long day exploring the city.

Hotel Al Pozzo di Luce
The history of this hotel began with the fact that four enthusiastic friends were eager to show others their “own” Venice - the way locals know it. Having completed the restoration of the building in one of the most authentic areas of the city of Cannaregio, they opened the doors of their second home to all travelers of the world.
After the update, we got a convenient and comfortable space in which there is everything that a hunter for sights needs.
The hotel has several rooms and a common area where breakfast is served in the morning. The rooms do not differ in any kind of sophistication: they are simple, but stylishly decorated in accordance with current trends.
The hotel has only a few rooms, and breakfast is served in the common area in the morning.
The guys who run the hotel will always help with advice, give a map and recommend where and how to have a better time.
By the way, for those who are going to visit the islands of the lagoon and admire the craftsmanship of local glassblowers or the colored houses of Burano, the location is especially good - the vaporetto pier, from which water buses depart in this direction, right sideways. And the main square of Venice is also not far - 10-15 minutes on foot.

Rosa Salva Hotel attracts guests with a central location close to Piazza San Marco and the Doge's Palace, reasonable price and excellent service.
The hotel belongs to the Rosa Salva family, which for 6 generations has been supplying Venice with the best sweets and pastries. The famous Rosa Salva pastry is located right next to the hotel, so guests are surely provided with a delicious breakfast. And not only breakfast.
This excellent service hotel is located near the Doge's Palace
The interiors of the rooms are solved in a calm warm color palette due to the harmonious combination of the natural texture of wood and fabrics. It is pleasant and comfortable to be here, and dim lighting creates a particularly romantic chamber atmosphere.
In Venice, noisy and crowded with people, this place seems like a real island of peace and tranquility.
Frankly, despite its 3 stars, the level of Rosa Salva is much higher than many 4-star hotels in the city. This is already evidenced by the fact that on the booking.com portal the hotel rating is 9.4 out of 10 possible.
