Twice the class at half the price
The family-run Hotel Bernardi-Semenzato has made its reputation offering fine rooms packed with amenities at laughably low prices (oh: and canal views in the annex)
The Pepoli family runs a stylish hotel with four-star amenities and class—wood-beamed ceilings, antique furnishings, A/C, free WiFi—at one-star prices (€53 to €90 in 2008) just off the main drag between the train station and San Marco. Upstairs rooms enjoy higher ceilings and more light.
If I had to make a choice, I'd probably actually opt for a room in the dipendenza annex located a few blocks away. It offers the chance to feel as if you've rented yourself an aristocratic apartment, with parquet floors, 200-year-old iron chandeliers, massive fireplaces, and 18th-century ceiling frescoes—room no. 5 is on a corner with a beamed ceiling and fireplace, two-room suite no. 6 overlooks the confluence of two canals, and no. 2 overlooks the lovely garden of a palazzo next door.
Cannaregio 4363-4366, on Calle de l'Oca, a side street just north of and parallel to Strada Nuova
