The two-star Hotel Al Malcanton is on the Corte Surian, a quiet little square within a 10-minute walk of airport buses and taxis at Piazzale Roma. It's tiny--more like a B&B than a hotel--with seven air-conditioned rooms that offer free Wi-Fi.

Tip: To get a taste of everyday life in Venice, walk to the nearby Campo Santa Margherita, where you can enjoy a gelato or sip a Spritz as you watch the action in one of Venice's liveliest neighborhood squares.

How to reach Hotel Al Malcanton from Piazzale Roma:

1. On the tree-lined side of the Piazzale Roma, look for the central path that leads toward the water.

1. A canal is just beyond the trees. Continue straight ahead over the stone footbridge.

2. Follow the curving path through the greenery on the other side of the bridge and continue just past the Hotel Papadopoli Venezia to a small bridge over the Tolentini Canal.

3. Cross the bridge and turn right onto the Fondamenta Tolentini. Walk to the next corner.

4. Cross the bridge directly ahead of you, turn left, and walk along the canal on the Fondamenta del Gaffaro.

5. In a minute or two, you'll see another bridge on your left. Turn right at the bridge onto the Fondamenta Malcanton.

6. Just ahead, you'll see a narrow street on your right (the Corte del Gallo) as the Fondamenta Malcanton makes a bend around the canal.

7. Turn right into the Corte  del Gallo. The Hotel del Malcanton will be the yellow building just ahead of you.

From the Marittima cruise terminals:

1. Take a free shuttle bus (if available), a taxi, or the People Mover just outside the port gates to the Piazzale Roma.

2. Follow the directions above.

From the Santa Lucia railroad station:

1. As you leave the station, turn right and walk toward the modern Calatrava Bridge (a.k.a. the Ponte della Costituzione).

2. Cross the bridge to the Piazzale Roma.

3. Bear left and follow the directions from Piazzale Roma.
