“Lovely experience ”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 days ago NEW via mobile

We were booked into a standard room through Gate 1 tours. Our airport transfer delivered us to the hotel’s dock, which is the way to arrive in Venice. The desk staffed guessed who we were before I gave my name, and he told us we had been upgraded to a deluxe room overlooking the Grand Canal. I had emailed in... More

“Hotel Principe in Great Location / Question 4 star category”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 days ago NEW

We stayed at the Principe for 2 nights this September. The hotel which is located along the Grand Canal seemed in need of upgrading to make it a true 4 star hotel. The reception area had thread-worn sofas, and the rooms gave a similar feeling of aging furniture and fixtures. The room itself was relatively small, making it difficult to... More

“Good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 days ago NEW

The room allocated to us was so small and overlooked the rubbish bins but the hotel without hesitation moved us to a room with a much bigger bathroom, nicer decoration and more space in the bedroom. The room benefited from air conditioning but occupants cannot alter the temperature or fan settings. Still it was hot outside and the settings proved... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 days ago NEW via mobile

Perfectly located with amazing views of the grande canal. Room was a little small but let's be fair you don't go to Venice for the hotel room!. Vast majority of staff were friendly and welcoming. Less than a 2 minute walk to the train station where all the main public waterboat services can be easily found. The breakfast unfortunately left... More

“Beautiful views of The Grand Canal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 days ago NEW

We stayed here for 5 days. When we arrived we asked to be upgraded to a room with a view over the Grand Canal, which was worth every penny of the extra €70 per night we paid. The room was very comfortable and we had a very large terrace complete with table and chairs and a sun lounger. We had... More

Fabulous hotel. Although our room is relatively small the decor is lovely but the highlights are the large balcony and stunning views of the Grand Canal. Room 415 is excellent. I understand peoples' comments on the desk staff. Michael is wonderful. He is very pleasant and very helpful. As is the night concierge with the beard. However the young woman... More

“Awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

Staff are so rude, never been treated so rude by staff ever in my life..... Obviously they hate having customers and don't know that these people that they treat so badly are actually paying their salaries...... Need to be trained in human decency and then maybe customer service.

    Staying in Cannaregio

    Neighborhood Profile
    Cannaregio
    Cannaregio is the second largest sestiere (district) with its busy Santa Lucia train station. Many transplanted Venetians commute from the outlying areas, “terra firma” to the locals, which is shorthand for any place that is not Venice. Two Grand Canal bridges serve Cannaregio, the newest (Constitution, 2008) still a local hotbed of controversy. Ponte degli Scalzi is a busy link to the train station. Nearby shops on the Lista di Spagna offer specialties like pastries and coffee that lure Venetians with a down-to-earth attitude. The Ghetto, where the Jewish population was segregated in Cannaregio, has five historic synagogues with an active Jewish community. The Fondamente Nove bustles with foot traffic to the Rialto and San Marco while vaporettos (water taxis) head to Murano and other islands. Side streets lead into quiet picturesque neighborhoods and palaces like Ca' d'Oro rise directly out of the water.
