Book a hotel near Biennale di Venezia, Dorsoduro

"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."

"This hotel is in the perfect location with easy access to everywhere. The staff was very professional and friendly. It’s a great spot to stay as you don’t need a taxi; everything is within walking distance."

"Beautiful property with good amenities. Staff was helpful with information about Venice. Hard to get to except by water taxi"

"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. "

"Really fun visit, so many things opened my eyes , water taxis, churches, walking around, this particular location is not the only place to stay, but it certainly made life easier for me as a solo traveller. It was perfectly located, not too distant from the water taxis and not close enough so you get some peace. "
