Absolute must stay
I would absolutely stay here again, easy access with water taxi from airport and train station is close by. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. Breakfast on the Canal in the morning makes a great start to your day.

I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!!!
Incredible hotel! From the moment we arrived at the front desk we were treated so warmly. We were early for check in by several hours and they welcomed us anyway with our room that was ready and beyond what we expected. The room was gorgeous, huge, and had the most amazing patio/balcony with a view of the canal! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!!!

Hotel Principe was very average
Great location. My room overlooked the canal which was cool for the last night. My room lacked warmth, the bed was hard. The morning staff was very friendly, the bell hops happy to help you. Afternoon and evening staff was grumpy and put me off.

Great service from start to finish. The property and rooms were very clean. We had the deluxe room with canal view which was exceptional. Great location and perfect for a family stay. Preferred this area to San Marco with a toddler. Plenty to do but not as congested. Lots of great restaurants nearby with outdoor seating.

Good but lacking
Good hotel just a 10 minute walk from the bus station. Lovely hotel and very clean. Right on the grand canal - extremely noisy from the boats all night long so you have to have the windows shut! Comfortable bed. No kettle in the room but a Nespresso machine and fridge in our room. Water taxi (vaparetto) from Marco Polo takes about 30 mins and costs 15 euros one way per person. However a crippling amount if you want to get a water taxi back (150 euros!) or a taxi (you have to walk to the bus station to get a taxi) we were told 110 euros! We caught a bus back to the airport for just 10 euros each and a 20 minute bus ride. Breakfast was lacking - coffee out of a machine and not much choice - hot buffet and pastries. and fruit but not much for people who like yoghurt or vegetarian. Couldn’t eat in the hotel the whole time we were there in the evening unless in the sushi restaurant as the hotel had events going on for weddings and private parties. Staff attentive and changed our first room as it wasn’t what we thought we were getting (canal de luxe room) but gave us a lovely room with balcony. Not great to eat outside at certain times when the boats were loading up bags due to boat fumes. Overall ok but expensive.

The hotel is 3 stars, not 4. I had a fall entering the room from the balcony, held on to the door which caused the glass to break. The staff who helped me were great, but then front desk asked for a credit card to pay for the damage, which I denied and left.
It’s completely outrageous that they would ask for that since it was an accident and one caused by the extremely slippery steps.
They also served beverages in paper cups during breakfast, which lacked quality overall.

We stayed here for a few days before our cruise. It was convenient to the port and even though it was a little farther out from the main areas it was walkable to everything we wanted to see. Our room was very nice, overlooking the grand canal. We really appreciated the help from the porter that helped with our luggage and always spoke to us and gave us a smile.

This is an older European hotel. I had 2 rooms. The room I stayed in didn’t have working AC like the room my parents were in. The beds were small with only 1 pillow per guest aka 2 pillows that were not in good condition. The room I stayed in had a tub, which had the shower head placed in the middle and made it extremely hard to shower without water getting all over the place. Only 2 towels were provided with dish towels to use for your face. Overall it was an ok hotel but as I stayed at the Hilton a couple nights prior, I was accustomed to the Hilton’s accommodations.
Hotel is located in a great central area, which made it great to get around. Lots of food options within the neighborhood.

This hotel is very good. The front desk staff introduced me some tours which are also very good. But the hotel does not allow escorts to come are not welcome. I am a single and need to the pretty girls for man"s desires. Also, the bathroom has a little smells. The hoursekeeker removed it but the next day it appears again.
