Cheap Hotels in Venice - the Reiter Hotel

Cheap Hotels in Venice - the Reiter Hotel

If you are looking for cheap hotel in Venice, the 2 star Reiter Hotel, hotel or hostel, might be the place for you.  It is very basic, (what you’d expect for cheap accommodation in Venice) and clean enough for your lodging requirement to suit your budget. It is priced from $27.88 per night or 30.00 € for a twin.

Centrally located, about 10 minutes by boat from the Piazzo San Marco, the ferry leaves about every 10 minutes.  The Reiter Hotel is situated in the main shopping district in the Lido where you will find restaurants, tourist shops, and grocery shops.  A handy budget idea is to eat here at restaurants on the Lido where it is cheaper than on the mainland. You will have to take a ferry which takes about 20 minutes to get to the mainland.

The rooms are small, like most of the cheap hotels in Venice, a bit crowded by large furniture.  However, you can book a larger double if you are willing to pay more for your hotel room.  It all depends on how much you have budgeted for your hotel accommodations in Venice.  Rooms are clean and basic, but you notice some water stains in the corners of the ceilings, a common problem in Venice due to the humidity and proximity to the sea.  The bathrooms you will find are spacious and come with amenities such as soap, shampoo, towels, and a hairdryer.  There are also TVs in your hotel room but no refrigerator.  Some rooms come with a balcony/windows.  Note, there is no elevator in the hotel.  Breakfast is not included in the price of your room.  There is also free high speed internet to use for your convenience.

If you can’t find a room at the Reiter Hotel, they will suggest their sister hotel, the Villa Parco which is nearby with prices starting at $25 per night.  The hotel staff speaks a bit of English and are quite friendly.  The Reiter Hotel would classify more as a good hostel rather than a hotel.  It’s nice enough.  It’s bland, basic, not exactly charming, but it depends how much time you are going to spend in your hotel room and, if you want to see all of Venice, I predict you are not going to be spending a lot of time in your cheap hotel room in Venice.
