The Vienna Hotel,  a 3 star hotel  in Venice (and we’re not sure how they got that rating) with rooms starting at $30.17 per night if you seek out some of the online hotel booking sites on the internet.  This is a cheap hotel in Venice, but you will have to remember that you get what you pay for at this hotel.  Not a lot of guests that have stayed here were very happy with their stay.

Cheap Hotels in Venice - the Vienna Hotel

The hotel is located very near the railway station via a subway at Via Giorgio Rizzardi, 54. I’m just telling you about the hotel.  There is no air conditioning for one, which is necessary, even in the summer.  You will find the rooms at this budget accommodation inVenice, to be smelly, dirty and small.  Most people find the staff not to be very helpful. It would be wiser that, until they improve this Venice hotel, you should not book here.

The Vienna Hotel is gay friendly hotel and offers some amenities such as a restaurant (no rave reviews about the food which is Chinese and American dining), an American bar, 24-Hour Front Desk,  Non-Smoking Rooms,  Family Rooms, a small elevator, Express Check-In/Check-Out, Safety Deposit Box, Chapel/Shrine, and heating.

What the Vienna Hotel needs is new management, staff that know how to clean a hotel, a complete renovation.  Then they need to market the hotel as under new management and get a website to promote their changes and win customers back.  However, if you need a really cheap hotel in Venice, this would be one to consider.
