Casa Sant'Andrea
Housed in a two-century-old converted monastery with exposed stone masonry and wooden beams, Casa Sant'Andrea sits right on the canal at Venice's entrance, steps from the vaporetto stop, where staff like the helpful Ernesto are on hand around the clock, rooms are kept scrupulously clean, and a breakfast buffet of croissants, local pastries, fruit salad and proper coffee offers solid value, though beds can be unreliable and the experience is closer to a modest hostel than a hotel.
