is soft and, therefore, so are prices. Most hotels change prices from day to day, according to
demand.
The prices I've listed are for one-night stays in peak season (April, May, June, Sept, and
Oct) and assume you're booking directly (not through a TI or online hotel-booking engine).
Prices can spike up during festivals. Almost all places drop prices from November through
March(exceptduringCarnevale—Feb22-March4in2014—andChristmas)andinJulyand
August. A €180 double can cost €80-90 in winter. Off-season, don't pay the rates I list.
Tosave moneyduringarelatively slowtime, consider arriving without areservation and
dropping in at the last minute. Big, fancy hotels put empty rooms on an aggressive push list,
offering great prices. Many hotels in Venice list rooms on www.venere.com , especially for
last-minute vacancies (two to three weeks before the date).

free or for a fee. Venice charges a hotel tax of €1-4 per person, per night. This tax is
typically not included in the prices I've listed here.
To help you easily sort through these listings, I've divided the accommodations
into three categories based on the price for a standard double room with bath:
$$$ Higher Priced —Most rooms €180 or more.
$$ Moderately Priced —Most rooms between €130-180.
$ Lower Priced —Most rooms €130 or less.
Prices can change without notice; verify the hotel's current rates online or by email.
Near St. Mark's Square
To get here from the train station or Piazzale Roma bus station, ride the vaporetto to San
Zaccaria—either the slow #1 or the fast #2 (from the Tronchetto parking lot, it's #2 only).
Consider using your ride to follow my tour of the Grand Canal (see here ) ; to make sure you
arrive via the Grand Canal, confirm that your boat goes “ via Rialto.
