    Some minor repairs to the bathroom were needed but these did not spoil what was otherwise a good choice of accommodation. Some external noise at night from people and vehicles outside but worth it for the central location. Lighting outside the entrance could be improved to facilitate inputting the self entry code

    Excellent central location near to Ortigia sights and numerous restaurants. Good cafe and supermarket also very close. Good-sized twin room on second floor and It was useful to have a lift.

    Don’t get me wrong the air conditioner worked great but it’s just too hot in Sicily. When I return it will be during the cooler months and I will definitely be seeking the same residence.

    Just about everything. Great location. Close to food, shopping and historical points. Wonderfully comfortable apartment. Grocery/wine store just around the corner.

    Windows don‘t block any sound that is coming from the street, so it’s quite noisy. Would have appreciated a bottle of water as a welcome with the hot temperatures and maybe some coffee for the next morning (there is a vending machine for both on the ground floor though).

    Very good location, comfy and big room that even has a small kitchenette. Good bathroom with a decent shower. Friendly staff and communication.

    WI-FI did not work (despite having told them to fix it) If you turn on too many appliances, the power goes off in the room (hob + blowdryer) No parking (you have to park before the bridge connecting Siracusa to Ortigia - which can be very difficult and stressy to find a space)

    Powerful AC Clean room Fresh sheets Room service cleaned/tidied the room every day Easy access to room Quiet area but close to city centre

    The equipment could have been better. We had to ask for a kettle and we struggled to make the hot plates work.

    It was a lovely apartment well placed in Ortigia where we were able to walk to all the interesting places.

    Excellent location within walking distance of everything you want to explore and experience!

    With this central location come the sounds of being central in a high traffic area...loud party goers, traffic, garbage trucks etc The soundproofing on the large windows could have been better. 2 apartments were set up with twin beds as per our request. The third apartment had the sofa bed set up as the 2nd bed instead of twin beds in 1 bedroom. They lost their living area.

    The location is perfect for exploring Siracusa and Ortigia. The building was well maintained. It's close to the market, close the 2 bridges from Siracusa to Ortigia, close to restaurants and all the beautiful sights on the island. We were a group of 6 friends with 3 apartments. 2 were on the front of the building, large windows, a balcony and great natural light. (103 and 203) The third apartment was smaller faced the inner centre of the building and was not as bright. Bathrooms were large but shower was small. Lots of hot water and great water pressure. The owner Francesco was helpful, always available when needed. The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff was very friendly. Step out the door, turn right and go to Viola Espresso for the best cappucino and cornetto! Head towards the water and the Al Vechio Lavatotio waterfront restaurant for delicious salads and pizza!

    The self check in.

    I loved the location. When I booked, I thought it was an actual hotel with a staff person on duty and not a self check in. When I searched on booking.com, I specified that I was looking for a hotel.
