"We traveled as a family and had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Principe. The location is excellent—less than a 5-minute walk from the Santa Lucia train station, which was very convenient when arriving and departing the city. We had two rooms. Although they didn’t have a canal view, they were bright, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. One day, we did notice a faint onion smell when opening the window, but it was a one-time occurrence and didn’t impact our overall experience. Breakfast was one of the highlights: very complete and varied, with fresh fruit, real-tasting eggs (not the artificial kind!), a nice assortment of breads, and a good selection of drinks. It was also included in our reservation made through Hotels.com, which was a great plus. The hotel has direct access to the canal, which allowed us to enjoy beautiful views and experience a traditional Venetian moment, with gondolas passing right in front of us. While main attractions like St. Mark’s Square are about a 40-minute walk away, the walk itself is enjoyable and a great way to explore Venice’s charming streets. All in all, a very good option for staying in Venice, especially if you’re arriving by train and traveling with family."

"Great location, private dock to allow for easy transport to/from Airport and train station. Had an issue with our water taxi (day of leaving) and the staff made a call and we were back on track, definitely recommend."

"A great location if you’re taking the train in, and a big breakfast. They were very helpful with my nut allergies with the food as well. The room was small but comfortable. A very unique convenient place to stay. "

"Excelente lugar para descansar "

"An excellent location, close to St. Mark's Square with direct boat access, yet very quiet, with rooms that insulate from outside noise. A nice terrace and an excellent restaurant. The staff are always willing to help, and the guest relations are fantastic!"

"The staff could not have been kinder and the property was incredible!"
