A barebones guesthouse near the train station, Aloggi Gerotto Calderan is a no-frills hotel with both private and dorm-style rooms. There is no elevator, no breakfast, and a nightly curfew, but the spare rooms are clean and some overlook a pretty square. Wi-Fi is free, if unreliable, and some rooms have shared bathrooms. This basic, affordable hotel has a reasonably convenient Cannaregio location by the train station and a Vaporetto stop; many other budget options in Venice are further removed from the city center.
Scene
Basic, budget guesthouse
This cash-only guesthouse offers clean, spare rooms for a low cost.

There is a free safe at reception for valuables.
Location
On a pretty square near the train station
In a city with a reputation for expensive rooms, this guesthouse offers bare, basic rooms in a reasonably convenient location in Cannaregio. It's a bit of a trek to San Marco (a 25-minute walk), but a Vaporetto stop is nearby. The two houses that make up Alloggi Gerotto Calderan are an easy walk from the train station, and a variety of restaurants and cafés are within the vicinity.
Rooms
No-frills, spare rooms
This guesthouse has both private rooms and dorm-style rooms spread out over four floors (there is no elevator). Some rooms have private, tiny bathrooms while other rooms have shared bathrooms. Rooms are bland in style with no decoration on the walls; some overlook a pretty square.
