We asked for and received a perfect view of the Grand Canal -- and we also got to see our room from the gondola ride we took later! This place was absolutely beautiful, romantic, and in a great location. The bar on the canal was a wonderful way to wind down at the end of the night. We had a... more

We spent three wonderful days and two nights in Venice. The Principe was OK. The good: the breakfast was abundant and quite good, the staff helpful and honest (tracked me down at breakfast after I left an unsigned traveler's check at the front desk). The bathroom was good and the shower better than most we've found in Europe. The hotel... more

We reserved two rooms adjoining since we were traveling with our two daughters, when we arrived, they had only one room reserved for us, we had our confirmation email and showed it to them, they found another room on the same floor, but it was not adjoining and our daughters were down the hall from us. We really liked the... more

The location of the Principe made it easy to get to. We took the bus from the airport and then it was a short walk to the hotel. Though I wouldn't have attempted the walk with too much heavy luggage as there were several bridges to cross. However, it seems that Venice is in the process of creating ramps on... more

Nice hotel and very good location. Just a few walking steps from the St. Lucia Station. They have canal facing rooms which are much better than the other side rooms. We stayed one night in the ordinary rooms and they are definitely not worth the money (just like a 1-2 star room. But yes, the canal facing rooms have a... more

My wife and I were honeymooning in Italy and Austria for 15 days. Hotel Principe was one of the two best hotels we stayed at (and one of the cheapest). (Our price point for hotels was between ($140 and $220 per night) Knowing that we were on our honeymoon, they gave us one of the few rooms with a priceless... more

We loved our room here. Not huge, but plenty of room for my husband and I. Very updated and modern. Our room had a bathtub and shower. Out our windows we could view the Grand Canal, very romantic. Very close to the train station - great for arriving and finding hotel quickly. more

We stayed her for two nights on our Italy trip. The hotel is very close to the Railroad station which was good for us since we were traveling by rail to various cities in Italy. Nice historic building with new bathrooms ( yes, the shower is tiny) but tasteful and clean. The hotel is filled with beautiful Murano glass chandeliers.... more

We were impressed from the moment we walked into this hotel. Very nice decor, great location (don't have to navigate all over Venice to find as it is near major train dep). Room was quite small and there were no English speaking TV channels but breakfasts were excellent and the view at breakfast was amazing!!! Great location, close to some... more
