2-Star Hotels in Venice

I had a very enjoyable stay at Pensione Seguso. The building is full of charm, with a traditional room that felt authentic and suited Venice perfectly. The staff were welcoming throughout my stay, and the location is excellent. It is easy to reach from Venice Santa Lucia station by vaporetto, and from the hotel it is no more than about 20 minutes on foot to most of Venice’s main sights. The only disappointment was the room temperature on arrival. The windows had been left open on a day when the outside temperature was over 30°C, and the room itself was 29.5°C. I closed the windows immediately and turned on the air conditioning, but it still took almost a full day for the room to cool to a comfortable temperature. Opening the windows is not an effective way to cool a room when the outside air is hotter than the desired indoor temperature. I specifically booked a hotel with air conditioning because I do not sleep well in warm rooms, so this was frustrating after a long day of travelling. Overall, I would happily recommend Pensione Seguso for its character, location and friendly service. I would simply suggest ensuring rooms are kept cool with the air conditioning before guests arrive during periods of hot weather.

Though small, this hotel has everything you need. The air conditioning works great, the shower is comfortable, and the hygiene is excellent. The decor is also very new. The restaurant, while small, is well-organized for breakfast, managing the flow of guests efficiently. It's super close to the station, just a five-minute walk even with luggage. Overall, I'm satisfied and it was a good stay. The only minor issue was that the toilet was oddly crooked – it tilted upwards on the left when you sat on it, which was a bit uncomfortable. Everything else was perfect.

I stayed at La Pergola for 3 nights and it felt very homey to me, like a student dorm room. It was easy to reach from the Lido SME station, very quiet, my room had plenty of light, a desk to do some work, internet was working properly in the room though I was at the second floor. The bed was comfy, bed linen was clean, the water was warm and shower had pressure, though the shower head had some holes clogged. All the basics are there, coffee in the morning is included, and -despite the fact that the room could use a deep cleaning - I think it was great value for money, much better than expected given the previous reviews. This place will be on my return list in my future travels to Venice.

It's about 3 to 5 minutes from the station. It was very accessible and comfortable. You have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to the front desk, but there is an elevator. I arrived a little early so I asked if I could leave my luggage there, and they showed me straight to my room. I was so happy. Thank you. My room had its own private bath and toilet right in front of it, so it was convenient, but it may be inconvenient for those who live further away. It is very well cleaned. I was happy that the gargle cups were individually wrapped. This is a hotel that makes me want to stay again.

This is a really lovely little hotel. It's small but perfectly formed, and the reception is just down the road at another hotel. It's the perfect place for a short stay of one or two nights, especially since it's really close to the train station. We were very grateful that they let us in at 1am. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the staff were helpful. The breakfasts are really good too, especially when you consider the Italian norm of just espresso and croissants.

Amazing location and very friendly staff. The bathroom is freshly renewed. But we lived on the ground floor close to the reception: it was noisy all the time (and audibility is awful), there were no sunlight in the room, lived like in a cold dark cave, and smoking place was right under the room window.

Very good location, 5-10 min walk from bus station, right on the bank of the Grand Canal, easy to get to. We booked private bathroom and the room was pretty decent for a 2 star hotel. The breakfast was varied and the the wifi was reliable. There were some issues with the electric power, but the staff was helpfull. All in all, a decent stay for a decent price.

The hotel has an excellent location, about 200 meters from the Rialto Bridge, making it convenient for exploring the city on foot and also close to the Rialto boat stop. The hotel is ”spartan.” We had a triple room; the room was small, and the bathroom didn't have a bidet. The bathroom was small, but it had a comfortable shower. The beds weren't the most comfortable; I think the mattresses were a bit dated, especially the one on the ”campina,” which was the third bed in the room. Breakfast is available at the hotel for €5 per person, and includes orange juice, a small sandwich, a croissant, jam, and a tub of Nutella. A hot drink (coffee/cappuccino or other beverage) is also included. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. Overall, for the price paid, I'd say it's definitely worth it for 2-3 nights.

No hot water. Air con was not working. Plenty of mosquitoes. No elevator, the lady at the counter helped carrying luggages to the third floor though. Only good thing there is location, close to the train station.
