Where to stay in Venice
Accommodation inside Venice is expensive. Even simple hotels, guest houses and small apartments regularly start from around €200 per night. Some visitors reduce the cost by staying in Mestre or Treviso, but remaining inside Venice gives you the city before the day-trip crowds arrive and after they leave.
Guest House ai Tre Ponti
Calle Basego · Dorsoduro · Historic Venice
Guest House ai Tre Ponti is a small and straightforward property in
Dorsoduro, one of the most atmospheric districts of
Venice. It offers the advantage of staying inside the historic city
without paying the prices charged by larger full-service hotels.
The property is within walking distance of
Frari Basilica and the
Scuola Grande di San Rocco, while Venice’s canals,
squares and quieter residential streets begin directly outside.
Rooms include a private bathroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi,
television, refrigerator, electric kettle, tea and coffee facilities
and basic kitchenware. The accommodation is simple rather than luxurious,
but the combination of privacy, location and useful room facilities makes
it a practical base for a short Venice stay.
The rating shown is 8.7/10, although it is based on only
18 reviews, so read the newest comments carefully before booking.

Venice, Mestre or Treviso?
Stay inside Venice
The most expensive option, but also the most memorable. You can explore early in the morning and after evening visitors have left.
- Best for: first visits and short stays.
- Advantage: no daily train commute.
- Typical issue: small rooms and high prices.
- Our pick: Guest House ai Tre Ponti.
Stay in Mestre
Mestre often has larger and cheaper hotels, with frequent trains and buses into Venice.
- Best for: budget-conscious travellers.
- Advantage: more conventional hotels.
- Trade-off: daily transport into Venice.
- Check: proximity to Mestre railway station.
Stay in Treviso
Treviso can be considerably cheaper and is an attractive city in its own right, but it is less convenient for daily Venice sightseeing.
- Best for: very tight hotel budgets.
- Advantage: near the arrival airport.
- Trade-off: longer journey to Venice.
- Better plan: split the trip between both cities.
The Wizz Air flights arrive at Treviso Airport rather than Venice Marco Polo. The bus journey to Venice takes approximately 40 minutes under normal conditions, but allow extra time for waiting, traffic and the final journey from the bus terminal to your accommodation. Pack light if possible, as Venice involves bridges, steps and walking over uneven streets.
Start by comparing Guest House ai Tre Ponti with accommodation in Dorsoduro, Santa Croce, Cannaregio and San Polo. For cheaper alternatives, compare properties near Venezia Mestre railway station and in central Treviso.
