Hotel Ai Due Principi

Not a four star hotel. The room was very nice but the heated towel rail in the bathroom was stuck on full heat so we opened the window in early March. The soap and shampoo had no conditioner and the freebees quality was more two star than four star. We didn't eat there. The people on the doorstep trying to lure you in to eat were off-putting. The hotel is in a lovely area close enough to a vaporetto stop with interesting bars and shops in the area. The €4.50 a night to be paid in cash was explained when we arrived. There was a working lift and the WiFi was very good quality. No idea whether there was working Air conditioning and I would want that in warmer months. It was quiet and our room overlooked a deserted alleyway but you could hear the children playing at the local primary school which was joyous. It felt impersonal but I'd stay there again if they fixed the heating/cooling issues.

I left four postcards for my grandaughters with the receptionist on Thursday 7th March. He said he would post them and put them on a shelf above the reception desk. None of the four has yet arrived. Please do post them if they are still there. UPDATE Three of the four postcards arrived late April. Better late than never! Thank you!

Very clean room and bathroom, spotless and dust-free. Very spacious room and bathroom. Tea and coffee provided in the room, as well as extra blankets and pillows. Could do with a refurbishment as the decor and furnishings all look quite dated. Location is excellent for accessing the tourist hotspots of Venice within a 5min walk.
