The rooms were clean, but the air didn’t work well, if you opened the windows, you got eaten by mosquitos. The beds were hard and very uncomfortable. I would not stay here again for the price. Those who ranked it high must neve stayed in a decent hotel before.

Great hotel near train station
Location from train station was ideal for this fantastic hotel. The property was beautiful, the room view of the canal was enchanting & the concierge was wonderful. He recommended 2 “off the beaten path” restaurants that were awesome (Casa Bonita & Agli Archi). I would definitely stay here again!

This hotel was a dream. It is so worth it to go extra and purchase a room with a balcony and the view of the canal. Everything from the reception as soon as we got there to the amazing breakfast that they serve in the mornings to the Charming rooms this hotel was a true dream for me

A very disappointing stay. The room was cold with no radiators, one of the lights wasn’t working and there was lots of hair left by the cleaner after each daily cleaning. The bed was very hard too. The entrance area smelled strongly of sewage.
I regret staying at this hotel as it absolutely not a four star hotel it’s claiming to be. There are much better options for a lower price in Venice.

Breakfast choices was really nice. Hotel is really dated as expected.
The first thing that met me in the lobby was distinctly offensive to my nose was the smell of sewage and toilet, literally. I said something about it to the bell boy. So, the following day, sticks of air freshener were all over the lobby.

The location & all of Venice is beautiful. We love Ana, tour manager. She took good care of us & Carlo was the best bus driver we’ve ever had. He accommodated us & he’s has good mannerisms. However, the two men in the first hotel were humiliating us for no apparent reason. They laughed, targeted us as their next victims, gave us the worst recommendation for a restaurant which in turn also humiliated the owners of that restaurant. We’ve never ever been through a situation like that & we still have no idea why. I believe they’ve done that before & think it’s funny & harmless, however how would they feel if the table was turned the other way. Everyone else & the cities we’ve seen were marvelous!

Location was perfect, only 500 meters from the train terminal and our room overlooking the grand canal provided awesome views of the city. Plenty of shops and dining were within walking distance. The staff was top notch and were very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Venice.

Gorgeous hotel in Venice, with an amazing staff!
The Hotel Principe is my FAVORITE hotel in Venice! I have been returning for years, and the staff is absolutely amazing.Yesterday was a last minute booking, and when I arrived, I was warmly greeted by Antonio, whose customer service is outstanding. I booked a canal room, and the room was beyond my imagination. It was so beautiful, I did not want to leave the room. Hotel Principe feels like my home in Venice, thanks to the amazing staff.
