Excellent location. 5 min walking to the railway station. Can be nosy if the room is on the street

A Good Hotel with Great Location. This is my second stay at this hotel. Earlier I stayed in this hotel in 2014. At that time I was not aware that the hotel was located at such a great location but now I made an well informed choice to stay in this hotel. For those travelers who are coming for the first time in Venice, I want to explain that Venice is a place where you do not have Road Taxies driving inside the city and this actually is the beauty of this city. We only have water taxies in the city to be transported to your hotel when you reach Venice either by train or by Air. All trains and road Taxies caring tourists stop at/near the main entrance place of the city called "Piazzale Roma . From here you either walk to your hotel a bit uphill or take a water taxi if it is far off. But why not to have a hotel right at this place, free yourself by dropping your luggage at hotel and proceed to the most romantic tour to the city. Hotel Principe has the best advantage of location, you can just walk to your hotel from your Road Taxi from Airport or Train Station. If you have big luggage porters are available to take your luggage on a trolly to your hotel. Moreover this hotel is located right on the bank of the Grand Canal Venice to offer best views of the city waterways. Reception staff at the hotel was very cooperative. I was at the hotel for only one night and had a very early morning flight next day. Since I would have to miss the great buffet breakfast next morning to catch my flight, the hotel management was kind enough to upgrade my room to a Canal View Room for free. Views from this room spacious balcony very amazing. By chance, next morning my flight got delayed and the hotel allowed me to have their sumptuous buffet breakfast as well. Hotel serve breakfast indoor as well as on the Canal Bank terrace. Rooms are spacious and clean, beds very comfy. The Venice main shopping street starts right from this hotel.

Bath room was somewhat smaller.

Overall nice, spacious clean room, though the breakfast was a bit disappointing.

The location was ideal as it is on Grand Canal and central to Venice. The room was very clean and housekeeping was excellent. The balcony was large and the room facilities included adequate towels, a fridge, and a coffee machine. Breakfast had variety and the indoor space was beautiful.

The staff never responded to my emails prior to arrival. They were professional on arrival, but neither friendly nor welcoming. The room was very small and there was no kettle and no iron in room. The outdoor space for breakfast was picturesque, but there was a boat pumping what smelled like sewage so we could not sit outside as the odour was putrid. Staff at breakfast were friendly when addressed, but slow to clear tables and not very helpful.

Comfy, very large room with excellent facilities. Location within a 2-3min walk to the major vaporertto lines, the train station and 5min walk from Piazzale Rome. Very easy to access. The breakfast buffet was generous. The hotel is located right on the canal, so we had a good view during breakfast. The staff was friendly. We had a renovated room with excellent bathroom and it was good for us (2 adults + 1 child).

The price was steep, more than we're used to, but we certainly got a lot for what we paid for and to be so conveniently located in the heart of Venice. While our room was lovely, the rest of the hotel is a bit dated, but quite lovely overall. I'm happy we stayed there.

Location was great. Close to train station and water transportation . Room was big and looked nice. Great water pressure in the shower.

First of all our room was infested with ants. They got into our medication, vitamins, water, clothes. Even inside the fridge. After complaining to the desk, while we were out, they sprayed our room with some very strong ant killing stuff and left the windows opened to vent. That not only left the room with an awful smell, it did nothing to eliminate the ants. We only spent 2 night there so we didn’t have the time to waste to fight for a new room, neither should we have to, it should have been offered by the hotel staff. They front desk were very nonchalant about the hole thing, blaming guests for bringing food into the rooms. Just not very good customer service and care. Breakfast was not good either. Juice was watered down, scrambled eggs were watery and nasty.

Hotel location was ideal for us to find after travelling to Venice, we loved the fact that the hotel was next to the Grand Canal. We were given a street map by hotel staff which helped us to get around and see all of the cities highlights. We hope to visit again soon.

We were a little surprised that there were no tea and coffee making facilities in our room, when we enquired if hot water was available to make tea we were directed to a hot water dispenser on another floor, which meant we had to transport very hot water in cups in the lift to get it back to our room. We never found the Venice Christmas markets, which is why we booked the trip originally.

The hotel location is excellent and walking distance from train station and main attractions. We had a canal view room that was amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room service was excellent. The breakfast was tasty and with a good variety. I would recommend this hotel for any tourist seeking comfort and good service, away from the buzz of the crowded areas, yet walking distance from main attractions.

The breakfast coffee is not good at all :(

I had a delightful stay at Hotel Principe in Venice. The hotel’s charming ambiance and elegant décor created a truly memorable experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The room was spacious, beautifully furnished, and offered stunning views of the city. The location was perfect, providing easy access to Venice’s main attractions and transportation. Breakfast was superb, with a wide selection of fresh and delicious options. I highly recommend Hotel Principe for a luxurious and convenient stay in Venice.

A lovely hotel with exceptionally clean rooms and good breakfast all at value for money, close to public transport and some lovely restaurants- a oasis after a long day of culture!
