Are there any hostels/budget hotels near the port of venice?

Question

i have to get a ferry early in the morning.

does anyone know how far the port is from the city center?

Answer 1

No budget places next to the port. For budget you'll have to go to Mestre or the youth hostel on the Giudecca.

I was just there a few weeks ago and can tell you the following:

1. if you want to visit Saint Mark's square from the terminal don't let 'em charge you 20.00 euro to go from the terminal. It's an organized rip off. Walk (15 min. stroll) to Piazzale Roma and take the vaporetto (Euro 6.00).

2. Mestre is well connected with Venice - bus service is nearly around the clock. Google places in Mestre and then e.mail them for your follow up questions.

3. If you do stay in Mester then you can arrange for a taxi to take you to the port.

Best of luck to you.
