This was our second stay at Hotel Principe. We love the location, as it’s within a couple blocks of the Santa Lucia train station, and there are many shops and restaurants within a short walk of the hotel. The hotel is right on the water with a great view of the canal. Our room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast buffet offered many options. We will stay here again if we come back to Venice.

I left my purse inside the room for around 3 hours to join a tour orientation. When we came back, our keys no longer worked. Then we discovered all the money inside my purse and wallet were missing. It is a nice hotel overlooking the canal, is located conveniently near the train and water bus station. It is a shame that someone gained access to our room and ruined our vacation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Magical Stay at Hotel Principe

Our stay at the Hotel Principe in Venice was absolutely wonderful. The room was magnificent—spacious, elegant, and perfectly designed for comfort. We had two patio doors that opened directly onto the Grand Canal, giving us a breathtaking view from sunrise to sunset. It felt like living inside a Venetian dream.

Breakfast each morning was delicious and incredibly fresh, the perfect way to start our days of exploring. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the people around the area were just as warm, making the whole experience feel even more special.

We loved how close the hotel was to plenty of shops, landmarks, and charming streets to wander through. Everything we wanted to see felt just steps away.

We truly can’t wait to go back. This hotel made our Venice trip unforgettable.

DO NOT book at this hotel. Everything about it was terrible. We had to leave our 5 night booking we had reserved at Hotel Principe and move to another hotel it was so awful. When we arrived, I nearly tripped over the bulky. bunched up rug on the floor of the reception area (staff showed zero concern), the porter who took our suitcases up to our room was rough and nearly broke them and then told me “don’t worry, don’t worry” when I asked him to please be more careful. He also blabbed loudly on his phone inside the elevator. The room they gave us looked nothing like what was booked and had hair all over the bathroom floor, tiny paper cups for the coffee and awful rough sheets on the uncomfortable bed. The hallways smelt terrible and bags of laundry were left piled up everywhere from the time we arrived until the next day when we left. This is a rundown hotel that is not taking care of their guests and way overpriced for what you get.
We lost a day in Venice because of this terrible place!
Zero stars!

Gmwonderful view from guset room. The breakfast is ok, we like the canal view of breakfast hall. Venetian lights and old style furniture are very elegent. We got to checked into our room at noon time and we got upgraded to the room with biggest balcony. It’s a super enjoyable experience to sit on balconly, drinking Berlini and watch the canal.

2 of the 3 front desk clerks were friendly and helpful. The 3rd was not... Perhaps because we did not speak Italian. Bellhops were extremely nice... Very friendly. Housekeeping did a great job!

We thought a first floor room near the water would be fun with a closer view of the Grand Canal traffic. Would have been great if not for the daily early morning waste pickup vessel and construction workers who were loud enough to wake us up each day.

Breakfast is a croissant and juice. The room was fine but the hot water literally lasted less than 2-3 minutes. And to top it off, I messaged the hotel to add two people to the reservation since I was in a junior suite. I asked them how much extra it would be to add. They said it wouldn’t cost anymore only the city tax, which was three dollars per person per day. But when I arrived and getting ready to check in, they tried to charge me an extra €120 for the two people despite me showing copies of the messages regarding me asking if there was any extra fee and the Hotel representative telling me that there would be no extra charge.

The location of Hotel Principe is absolute perfection! We took a water taxi directly to the hotel and were immediately impressed. The staff was friendly, and the American and Italian-style breakfast was excellent each morning. The room had high ceilings, plenty of space for my mom and me, and the balcony was totally worth it — we loved watching the boat traffic on the Grand Canal!

The hotel’s location made getting around Venice so easy — with the water taxi right outside the steps, we could head to St. Mark’s Square or take a vaporetto to Murano and Burano effortlessly. We parked our rental car at Tronchetto Garage, and the hotel even arranged a water taxi pickup within just a few minutes of arrival.

There are plenty of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. If you’re new to Venice like we were, this is the perfect place to stay. Stop looking and book it — you won’t regret it!

The room was comfortable and clean, and I especially loved the shampoo — it smelled just like limoncello! Overall, a wonderful stay with charm and convenience in equal measure. Perhaps my only suggestion is some new carpet or flooring 😉

Great Family Stay at Hotel Principe – Venice

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.
