Stayed for 4 nights at The Principe in June 2013- a five minute walk from the train station meant no need to take luggage onto a vaparetto to get to the hotel. We stayed in a deluxe Grand Canal facing room with a huge balcony. You could spend hours relaxing and taking in the views at different times of the... More

While staying in Austria we took a 2 day trip to Venice. One day to get there based on the many road closures (June 2013) and a day in Venice and then back to Austria. While not rated as one of the best hotels in Venice the location is a short walk from the bridge into the city. We only... More

Stayed here because our tour group booked the room. The beds are as old as the hotel. I don't mind an old hotel with some charm, but they could easily replace the mattresses. You could feel the springs in your back. It was extremely noisy, too.

Stayed here for a couple of nites and loved it. My past experience in Venice was very different as I had always stayed near Piazza San Marco but due to short amount of time and the need fir a better value I found Hotel Principe. I booked it a week prior and received a ten percent pre paid discount rate... More

We had the unfortunate experience of staying here for the last 3 days of our journey from Rome to Venice. The only nice thing about this hotel is the lobby and the views from the deck which backs on to the Canal. The reception staff are rude and unwelcoming, and that is putting it nicely. Our room (313) faced the... More

Room was hot because AC was not working properly. We reported to the front desk and instead of looking into the problem, they told us to open the window. Advertised free WiFi but was never able to connect to it. When I asked them to help they just told me it was down and they can't do anything. Yet when... More

This hotel is in a great location being near the Santa Lucia railway station which is a short walk. In the district of Canareggio it is in a vibrant part of Venice with lots to do at night and through the day. You can get the Vaporetto to St Marks square just near the hotel. The staff were not very... More

My wife stayed three nights at the Principe in early May, 2013. Our cruise terminated in Venice and we rolled our bags from the people mover to the Principe in about 15 minutes. Our room was excellent, very clean and spacious with a 16' ceiling and furnished with fine antiques. The hotel bar has seating on the Grand Canal which... More

This was our most expensive hotel of our trip around Europe and one we were looking forward to most - based on the website photos. Booked a double room with a bathroom - got a twin room with a shower. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the busy street and very noisy. With open windows for fresh air... More
