We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We requested and got a room with a balcony on the Grand Canal, it was spacious and offered a fantastic view. Our bathroom was all Italian marble and very nice. Thought the breakfast buffet was very good. We ate dinner at other locations. To find the dock on the Grand Canal just walk in the door and walk straight ahead......you will be in the water if you don't stop. Not sure how anyone could have missed it. We did get some unpleasant smells when we returned at night....not sure if it was just this hotel, typical for Venice...or what. Maid was spraying the halls with deoderizer. The location was very good, near a water bus stop and the rail station. About a 30-40 minute walk to St. Marks. The "ACTV Waterbus Ticket" is the way to go........don't be intimidated.....it is very convenient and economical. If you are going to be there for a few days, buy the pass on line....it is cheaper. We waited and paid about $E27 for 3 day pass. I think it is cheaper on line. We bought tours io the islands (Murano, Burano and Tortello)....DON'T....go there on your own. Not given enough time to see the Islands at leisure......a total waste. We loved Venice and can't wait to return for more than 4 days. Overall, I would stay at the Hotel Principe again......great view....people were friendly....convenient....Hotel Gritti palace is probably more elegant....but you will have to pay for it....and not sure what they have to offer in the way of balconies. Have a great time there. We went to 5 countries and 10 cities........Turkey was great, Mykonos beautiful, Amalfi Coast....beyond description, and Barcelona.....WOW.........take the bike tour....and don't miss Gaudi's cathedral and park............you will be sorry if you do. last visit on May, 2005.
