Very noisy in the morning from both outside cleaning and inside housekeeping who start shift before 6 am And do not consider that at this time hotel guests might still sleep.

Great location. Beautiful breakfast on the outdoor area

I think we had a standard room, so possibly others are different, but it felt small and a bit cramped. There was an upper mezzanine level with a sofa, TV and a small table (with lace Doily), but we didn’t need that. The writing desk and fridge would have been better up there in my opinion, and would feel more spacious around the bed. The decor was quirky, 1980s art deco style, a bit like what I imagine to be a good cabin room on the Titanic. Bathroom was also cramped, the fuss pot in me noticed a few chips in the bath and a couple of rusty screws, but shower had decent power to it.

All Staff we met were charming and very helpful and the room was extremely clean. Breakfast and coffee all excellent quality. Served on lovely rooftop bar/restaurant with a great view of the beautiful place and the sea. The lounge areas were spacious and quirky with books about Sicily to look at. The location was great, sea front and everything easily walkable. A lovely town with plenty of things to do, eat and drink. Thanks we had a great stay!

Amazing architecture. Great views from terrace restaurant.

Fabulous hotel. Ortigia is a wonderful place and the hotel is in great place to visit both ortigia and Siracusa. Beautiful restaurants which are a short walk from the hotel.

The front desk staff were generally friendly but never provided much help. They would smile and be nice but always a bit aloof and not very interested in genuinely solving a problem or providing advice. It's hard to describe exactly, but we felt a bit like they didn't think we were rich enough to spend much time on. The dinner was extremely overpriced and easily the worst meal we had in Italy. They give you free bread and glass of champagne at the beginning, then inform you that everyone is expected to order at least two main dishes to cover the cost of the bread and champagne. I am vegetarian and there were not two vegetarian main dishes, which displeased the waiter.

The rooms were quite big, with a full sized tub and shower. The housekeeping staff is incredible. They did a great job and were very kind. The hotel itself is in a good location and is very comfortable.

The hotel has a history of 150 years, located at the entrance of Ortygia Island. When we arrived, the road was very crowded, but with the kind guidance of the hotel staff, we were able to park in the hotel parking lot. The breakfast on the terrace was very luxurious and had a rich menu. All the staff were friendly and professional.

Decorated with marble and antiques and chandeliers throughout, takes you back in time. Breakfasts on the terrace with a view of the waterfront were amazing each morning and the service is impeccable. Location is perfect for exploring the area. The hotel has a beach for a fee which we did not use as temps in Spring are cooler. Would recommend this hotel to other travelers.

This hotel is perfectly situated by a marina in a quiet area of the island, yet within walking distance to everything. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is excellent and located on the top floor overlooking the water. Our rooms were beautiful with all the wood and tile/marble floors. This hotel is where we will definitely stay on our next trip to Ortigia.

Shower and bathtub very old fashioned. Green light lamp too bright, disturbing sleep. Breakfast good but could be improved with better variety of non-sweet options (too much focus on sweet tooth).

Nice building, both from outside and inside. Lots of detail inside, especially art and artefacts. Excellent location in front of marina, direct access to town, parking in front.
