As topic.

I'm looking to go on a holiday with a friend to Venice and we're looking for a cheap hotel located in the heart of Venice. Budget of around £400 each for the accommodation/flights. Unsure exactly how much that is as i have been browsing Expedia..however i'd like some suggestions as i may just book the flight and hotel seperately.

I recommend Boscolo Hotel Bellini, a cheap 4*, just next to Rialto and the train station, comes at about 70-80 pounds per night. Very nice hotel, beautiful entrance hall, rooms are very nice, had a great stay there. Breakfast is expensive though.

Mm, i looked at that one and although it looks very nice for the price, it's a shade too expensive and we really are trying to cut costs..it is quite expensive at the moment - season etc.

The cheapest hotel i found, situated in the heart of Venice, seems to be Tintoretto. £875 for 9 days.

my mate sat at a cafe on St Marks and a beer and a coffee came to 30 Euro

What about for the area surrounding St Marks? Is ALL of Venice quite expensive? Trying to think up a budget also - spending money. €50 a day? /shrugs.

That will be per meal.

Must be a few...cheaper places within Venice? Can't all be so expensive?
