Lovely Campo del Ghetto guesthouse.
According to reviews, Locanda del Ghetto is a lovely little hotel on Campo del Ghetto square, just next to canal, with some rooms boasting lovely views out over this from a balcony, and all rooms proving clean, comfortable and featuring nice decor.
positive:
Staff excellent all round.
The staff members at this guesthouse have been spoken of very highly for their service, and are reportedly very helpful, friendly and welcoming to all.
positive:
Sightseeing convenience, Jewish establishments.
Guests found the location excellent, not just because of the square and canals, but also for its proximity to Santa Lucia train station, water buses, restaurants, bars and most of Venice’s tourist attractions. Jewish visitors also appreciated being close to kosher food and the synagogue.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Paid Wi-Fi after limit.
Some guests were unhappy to find Locanda Del Ghetto’s Wi-Fi would cost them after the free allotment ran out, and found it rather expensive and not the best quality at that.
negative:
Basic breakfasts kosher, but plain.
Although the simple continental breakfasts have the upside of including kosher fare, some guests found them to be too plain and would have liked more variety.
negative:
Little bit expensive.
A small number of those who stayed thought the guesthouse was a little expensive for what was offered, compared to other accommodation in Venice, but they did note that they were most likely paying for the location.
