My stay at Hotel Ai Due Principi had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to St. Mark's Square and local attractions, making it easy to explore Venice. Unfortunately, I experienced issues with my room, including a broken heating system and inconsistent service when requesting basic amenities. Overall, while I appreciated the ambiance and ease of access, the service and some room quality left much to be desired.

I found the room comfortable overall, but the heating was broken, making it uncomfortably hot. Additionally, I faced hiccups with the hair dryer and had to request another when it blew out.

Service

Service was hit-or-miss; while some staff were friendly, others demonstrated a lack of attentiveness that was frustrating. For instance, I requested a cot for my infant multiple times before getting a satisfactory response.

The hotel appeared well-maintained, but certain aspects like the heating and hair dryer could use better attention. However, I appreciated the generous room size and the strong water pressure in the shower.

7.4/10

The hotel is situated in a prime location, just a short walk from major attractions like St. Mark's Square, which made exploring Venice effortless. However, my experience was marred by several issues in the room, including a lack of consistent service and a few maintenance problems that affected my comfort during my stay.

Rooms

5.0

The room I was given didn't match my reservation. It felt cramped after they squeezed in a z-bed, and the windows looked onto a dark internal courtyard, contributing to a noisy atmosphere. The bathroom, on the other hand, was spacious, but the shower had issues with the doors and left the floor wet.

Service

5.0

While some staff were friendly and helpful, particularly during breakfast (where the coffee was a highlight), the overall service was inconsistent. I faced issues with a malfunctioning safe and a missing remote control, which didn't instill confidence in their attention to detail.

Location

9.0

On the bright side, the hotel's location was fantastic, right by a small canal that added charm and beauty, with easy access to the main sights in Venice. It was merely a 2-minute walk to the vaporetto stop and just 5 minutes to the iconic St. Mark's Square.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast offered a basic buffet featuring pastries and coffee, which was adequate but didn't leave a lasting impression. The outdoor dining area overlooking the canal was a nice touch, enhancing the overall experience of Venice's vibrant atmosphere.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel boasts some decent facilities, and the free Wi-Fi worked well. However, I noticed the need for some renovations, as parts of the hotel felt outdated and in need of improvement.
