The property was in a great location, surrounded by tourist attractions and great restaurants.
The staff where friendly and you could leave your bag on the last day of travel before going to the airport.
Would stay again
This was a last minute booking as part of a tour of Venice. This hotel was very welcoming. Coffee making facilities made it more comfortable. Breakfast, which was included in the price was the usual continental affair along with bacon and scrambled eggs. Would certainly recommend this hotel.
Perfect location; short and easy walk from San Zaccaria waterbus stop (no bridges to cross), then 5-10 minute walk to San Marco and 10-15 minute walk to Rialto.
Plenty of restaurants and shops locally.
Nice and clean hotel with big rooms and very clean.
Friendly staff.
Recommended for mid-price in Venice.
The room was clean, comfortable and decorated to have a nice classy feel. Loved the jacuzzi. The staff at the restaurant were very nice and took good care of us at meal time. Location is excellent, right on gondola row and close to St. Mark Square. Not a dock at the hotel but only 4-5 minutes walk from the dock.
Au Principi was amazing, very nice central location, beautiful rooms, great restaurant along the water(highly recommend) and philippe did his all to make sure we had all we needed. 10/10

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location. Quiet at night but durning the day we had the first floor room and the kitchen staff sounded like they were in the room. The Shower took a little to figure out but once we did it was fine
Staff we helpful. perfect place location wise
we suggest not getting a room on the ground floor
Room door was a bit suspicious regarding locking mechanism. “Do Not Disturb” light kept switching off. Unable to control AC/Fan due to overtaking building temperature control. Room felt stuffy at times and had to open windows with screaming children in the courtyard. Often times we could hear dishes clanking as there was a kitchen downstairs.
Bathtub/shower had mold and multiple cracks. Felt uncomfortable showering in the restroom.
Walls are lined with fabric and they are noticeably dirty.
Our room was extremely large which allowed great space for luggage and lounging. Hôtel was in great distance of restaurants and cafes. It was also very close to popular attractions.
