"The hotel is conveniently located near a train station into Venice. The Hotel itself is in a quiet suburb of Quarto d'Altino. Lovely place. It has a restaurant and bar. We enjoyed the food and drinks. The shuttle to and from the airport is a huge plus."

"Great hotel! Room service kept our room clean throughout our stay, and the staff were always helpful and kind. The location is also amazing; it’s literally right in the center of everything, which made our stay so convenient. We were close to shopping, restaurants, and so many of the main sightseeing spots, so it was really easy to explore and get around. Also, do yourself a favor and book the hotel’s private airport pick-up and drop-off service. It was absolutely worth it and made the entire trip so much smoother and stress-free. Plus, you get to take some great pictures on the boat ride! Highly recommend!"

"Loved this location - easy to walk everywhere. The hotel was charming. We did not spend much time in our room which was a bit small and had a view of a narrow alley, but it was clean and the bed comfortable, overall a good value. The breakfast was a nice benefit that allowed us to eat before heading out early."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Principe! The location could not have been better. It is so centrally located and literally just a short walk from the train station, which made arriving and getting around Venice incredibly easy. The staff was amazing from the moment we arrived—so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Our room was beautiful, but the view was truly the highlight. It was absolutely spectacular and made our stay feel even more special. We had such a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Hotel Principe to anyone visiting Venice. Between the perfect location, amazing staff, and unforgettable view, we would definitely stay here again!"
