Campo Santa Margarita is one of Venice's liveliest squares, with market stalls selling fresh produce during the day, a smattering of restaurants and bars, and plenty of early evening-buzz. If you're looking for a no-frills budget hotel in the heart of the action you could do worse than try the Antico Capon.

The main building's yellow facade beams warmly onto the square, and the rooms here are the best the hotel has to offer. The en suite shower rooms are relatively clean, the decor is simple and the views of the square are charming though noisy (the rooms facing the back are quieter). The other eight rooms -in a separate building - feel like a bit of an afterthought. They could be cleaner and are slightly shoddy with cupboards that don't close properly and shower doors that leak. D4 has a balcony that would be sweet if the broken shutters didn't threaten to impale you on exposed nails on the way out there. Breakfast is served in a choice of three restaurants on the square ensuring that you can usually sit in the sun. Head to the one with the red awning for the best croissants.
