My husband and I are planning a trip to Venice in 2 weeks time, wondering where we should stay for around $150/night— can you recommend a fantastic place?

Prices vary a lot in Venice depending on exactly when you’re here and what’s going on. I stayed in a 4 star just off Piazza San Marco the first weekend of Carnevale for 150 euro per night. The next weekend, the same room was 400 euro per night. One weekend later after Carnevale had ended, the price was 80 euro. Right now it’s 110 euro per night ($148).
I have used this site for booking hotels here in Italy in the past ten years: http://en.venere.com/hotels_venice/ . Some of the places I stay in Venice that are within your budget most of the time: http://en.venere.com/hotels_venice/san_m… – good breakfast; 2 -3 minutes walk to Piazza San Marco. http://en.venere.com/hotels_venice/san_m… less than a minute to get into Piazza San Marco; very nice rooms. http://en.venere.com/hotels_venice/san_m…
You can use the above site for looking for other options. Venice is easily walkable or you can get day passes (or longer) for the vaporetto to get around. Any of the areas in Venice are reasonable places to stay.

Last summer, my boyfriend stayed a great B&B in Venice. It’s the Casa Mimma Bed & Breakfast, and is a very short walk from the Venezia Mestre Train station.
Info:
Bed and Breakfast in Venice Casa Mimma s.n.c. di Ruffini W.
Sestiere santa Croce, 1412/c – 30100 Venezia
Tel 041-5243461, Fax 041-2448783 info@casamimma.it
Website: http://www.casamimma.it/
It’s about € 120/night for a double bed.
The best thing about this B&B was the amazing (and free) cappuccinos and espressos in the morning. We went in late May so could sit outside on the garden terrace. The staff was great, but we had to practice our Italian with them, which was good.
After getting off the train, we walked 10 minutes, luggage in tow, to the B&B. Make sure you take a map with you- getting lost in Venice is very easy to do with all the side streets. However, the B&B is really easy to find after entering a Harry Potter crook in the wall. It’s located in a quite square and is close enough to the water ferry stop so you can access anything.
It doesn’t have a view of the Grand Canal, but for the price, you wouldn’t expect it. It’s one of our favourite places to stay in Italy now, and will definitely visit the B&B again!

We stayed at the Londra Palace. It was wonderful! The junior suite had a balcony that overlooked the city. (we had 2 kids with us under the age of 4, so needed a larger room that would accommodate 2 cribs) Don’t know how much the regular rooms run. Sorry.
Maybe you can just borrow one at a library and take notes as needed if you don’t think it will be used after this trip. Or, you can get them used online for less.
info @hotelondra.it (please note, according to the Frommers book I am looking at, there is only one “L” in that email – not sure if that’s a typo or not. We called them)
041.520.0533 after the country code.
Other options, that are less expensive:
Hotel Campiello – capiello@hcampiello.it – 041.520.5764
La Residenza – (no email listed) – 041.528.5315
However, I cannot vouch for either of those, as we didn’t stay there.
Buon Viaggio!
Ps – it will definitely be worth your while to either get a Frommer’s guide or a DK Eyewitness guide for the city.
