Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a true delight. The rooms were gorgeous with a lovely balcony, a wonderful bathroom, and a superb double bed; a great value for money. The service was top-notch from the moment I arrived at the reception with the staff accommodating every request with cheerfulness. The location, right in the heart of Ortigia, couldn't have been better, surrounded by charming restaurants. While the dining experience was lacking in temperature for the coffee, the fresh-baked scones were a highlight. The facilities were modern and well-kept, ensuring a comfortable stay.
What a delightful stay! The hotel is perfectly located in the charming Ortigia area of Siracusa, offering a serene retreat with clean rooms and welcoming staff. While the dining could use some improvements, the overall experience was fantastic, especially given the reasonable price.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were tidy and cozy, the staff was extremely welcoming, and the location was perfect. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. Overall, it was a great value for the money.
