Fodor's Review:

The reigning royalty of Bermuda lodging, the Princess boasts some of the most comfortable rooms on the island, especially at the higher end. The hotel seems to have no problem selling out all of its rooms consistently, as it caters to and pampers business guests like no other hotel in the capital can; indeed, it's the only full-service resort in Hamilton. It's steps away from the shops and liveliness of Front Street, as well as the principal insurance offices, on the edge of Hamilton Harbour. Classy, contemporary rooms and suites have elegant hardwood furnishings and marble bathrooms. Fairmont Gold, the chain's exclusive boutique hotel within the larger property, is memorable for its regal lounge, set in the former ballroom. Take posh afternoon tea here complete with silver pots and fine china. Although at the Princess, as in all Hamilton hotels, there's no beach, you can walk off the dock onto a fun, frequent ferry (followed by a shuttle ride) to Fairmont's south shore beach. Because it caters to business, prices are lower on weekends. Pros: reliable first-rate rooms, only full-service resort in the capital, attractive harborfront location. Cons: mainly corporate guests, ferry or cab necessary to reach beaches.

We stayed here the last two days of our honeymoon after spending the first 5 at the Fairmont In Southampton. In comparison, the staff is much less attentive, kind, and helpful. No one offered directions to our room (which were in a completely different building!) and staff was not very friendly. If you are looking for beaches- stay at the Southampton! The only reason to stay here is to shop in the city.

We had to stay at this hotel due to a flight being cancelled - I would definitely not stay here - no beach ! and the rooms are old ! The bathroom was very clean but so small - reminds me of an old motel ! I think Fairmont could do better ! The air conditioner was leaking all over the floor and noisy. Too many nicer places to stay. Sorry
