“This boutique hotel occupies a skillfully restored aristocratic palace, a short walk from St. Mark's Square. While some aspects might lean closer to a well-appointed three-star experience, its location and uniquely Venetian decor offer undeniable charm. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those prioritizing proximity to Venice's major attractions.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Ai Due Principi is appreciated for its location, a short walk from St Mark's Square and close to the Zaccaria water taxi stop, making it easy to get around. Guests often enjoy the Venetian decor and spacious rooms, some featuring canal views and jacuzzis. Breakfast is commonly included and features continental options along with bacon and scrambled eggs, and some guests have savored meals at the restaurant with outdoor canal-side seating, watching the gondolas. A few visitors felt that the price was high compared to the quality.

romantic escape

hotel beauty large bathroom
the closeness to the ferry was a blessing. the hotel exudes beauty, we enjoyed our room. the bathroom was quite large and the bed provided comfort. i ate at the restaurant and had a glass of chianti, watching gondolas glide by.
the broken heated towel rail made my room uncomfortably hot. i had to open windows for cool air, this let mosquitoes inside the space. the cleaners saw this issue during regular cleaning but it wasn't fixed.

Acceptable stay. Some issues noted.

controlled air conditioning dated fixture
The air conditioning was centrally controlled. I found this frustrating. It meant I could not adjust the temperature in my room to my liking, ESPECIALLY at night. This led to some discomfort. some areas seemed a little dated and could use updating. I noticed wear and tear in the bathroom fixture.

The location was convenient with a short walk to the water buses (vaporetti) and St Mark's Square. Staff stored my luggage on my late flight day (which I appreciated).
