Cheap hotels in Venice are relative; Venice is an expensive place to stay in the main visitor months - but there are perhaps a surprising number of simple hotels in very central locations that won't break the bank.
As you might expect room rates in Venice are highly seasonal, at the height of the season around June or July you may pay three or four times what you pay in the winter season between mid November and March.

If you are looking to stay in one of the peak months and especially at the weekend, try to book at least two months or more in advance to avoid availability issues at the best choices.
As there is no road transport within the city of Venice you also need to factor in the cost and possible stress of getting to your accommodation.
The gateway to Venice unless you get a water service from Venice Airport will be at the western end of the city of Venice by the causeway that connects it to the mainland. Here you will find the railway station, bus station and cruise terminals.
Nearly all hotels will require you to use a scheduled public boat which can be very crowded or a very expensive water taxi.
Your accommodation may be some way from the nearest jetty and the lanes and alleys of Venice are not conducive to rolling luggage along the ground.
If you are on a budget you might want to check out Mestre, the town at the mainland side of the causeway which has better value hotels and potentially very simple transfers from the airports and railway to your accommodation.
