    The breakfast could have been better, pastries were dry.

    The location is excellent, close to beaches, town, shopping. The rooms are large, great AC. Nice patio off of the room. Staff is very kind and helpful.

    Unfortunately, the room was really not clean. Especially the kitchen and the bathroom felt dirty. In the bathroom, there were still soap packages from other guests. There were also stains on the glass. In the kitchen, we had to re-clean all the plates and glasses because of the stains. The floor also wasn't very clean.

    The location of this hotel is amazing. We were close to all the sights, one of the best swimming spots, and a lot of restaurants. The room is also very big and has a small kitchenette. We arrived before the check-in time, but our room was already ready and we didn't have to wait at all!

    The shower water was never fully hot, although this was not an actual issue as it was too warm outside to have a hot shower. We didn't even flag it to the staff. Nice and refreshing

    Unbelievable location, 2-4 min away from the centre of Ortigia, less than a min walking from the sea. The building is quite ancient and built with stones, so the heat was never an issue, and when it was we had air-conditioning. The staff was super helpful and proactive, but discreet at the same time.

    The receptionist a Spanish girl I think , I couldn’t tell you her name because she never introduced herself . Not friendly or welcoming at all . I booked and paid for breakfast upon arrival for the morning , which was good value and would we have gone everyday . A couple of interactions with miss personality and I left with my partner not having breakfast and not going back all week . I’ have just turned 60 and I have never walked out of anywhere .

    Fantastic room , A1 . Cleaner very friendly and efficient .

    The kitchenette had no tea towels, dishcloths or washing up liquid provided. I bought my own from a supermarket. Had only one wine glass, luckily I was travelling solo. Also, shockingly, no mugs! So I used the drinks glasses instead. The reception was on a separate part of the building to the apartment. I couldn’t be bothered to go to complain. The receptionist, which was the same person at check in and check out, didn’t seem very friendly. I tried to make small talk at check in but it wasn’t reciprocated. City tax was paid up front. When I handed my keys in and said I am checking out she just said “ okay, thank you “ No asking was everything okay, did you enjoy your stay, have a good or safe journey home. Perhaps she spoke limited English but surely she could have tried to smile or look pleasant. Also no free small bottle of water in the fridge for when you arrive feeling hot and dehydrated. At the price they charge, surely they could show a little generosity. If it hadn’t have been for these things I would have rated them excellent rather than good.

    I didn’t pay the €10 daily charge for breakfast, as I had a kitchenette. Plenty of space in the apartment, seaview as well. Free aircon. Doors from sitting room , and also bedroom, opening on to a large veranda, with lights that could be used independently at either end. Kitchen table and a window with a view and shutters. Very quiet location but close to bars and restaurants.

    Wouldn’t want to travel with a heavy suitcase, there are about 3/4 flights of stairs to climb to the top room.

    This place is right next to a swimming spot and has an excellent little balcony. When the lounge and kitchenette, it’s has all you need.

    Parking was a nightmare! Though they recommend a private parking, it was full. Really, REALLY DIFFICULT to find a Parking (always paying). It took us more than an hour to find a space, it it was quite far away from the hotel. And we were lucky! Parking is an impossible mission there!

    A beautiful place in the heart of the old town.

    The kitchenette facilities could be improved — the electric hob wasn’t working, so we couldn’t heat our food. Our room cost €75 without breakfast, with an additional €10 per person for a continental breakfast.

    Ideal location in the heart of Ortigia’s old town. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. A secure parking spot for our motorbike was also provided.

    The external public areas are lovely but the rooms are shabby. We started off in the annexe (not main hotel) in a room that looked out at a nice courtyard but the room itself was dark and the bathroom 'tired' looking. The chairs in the courtyard needed a good clean so it wasn't possible to sit on them. We were able to move into the hotel itself into a lovely big space but it needed a refresh: the toilet seat was wonky and the sofa sagged. The bedroom with two beds was cramped (no need for such a large wardrobe in it).

    Excellent location & very helpful staff who waited patiently for us to find our way there before closing for the siesta period. The rooms in the main hotel are really spacious. Breakfast (for an extra cost) was good.

    Although our room was lovely, very stylish and had a lovely terrace amidst the roofs, the bathroom could get better care. The shower head was not holding well, and the cabin was missing a door. Still it did not take away our satisfaction during our stay.

    We liked everything about it! The location was superb, like a secret gem! The building is historical, very beautiful. The most ancient mikveh in European is at the same building, so much worth the visit.

    Reception is closed from 13h to 15h but staff apparently likes to leave a bit earlier than 13h. (No one was around when we came at 12h55 to pick up our luggage).

    Good location and very charming hotel that appears to have been around in some shape or form hosting guests for several centuries. The rooms are very large.

    Room was a little bit scruffy around the edges - bathroom door was hard to close and shower curtains weren’t great but these are minor points and didn’t affect our stay.

    A very special place in a historic Ortigia quarter. Great design for common areas. Contrast between the narrowish streets and buildings and the two level spacious room we got. Disappointment about the inner courtyard as in March it was far from what we can see on these publicity photos.

    I loved the look and feel of the property. The hotel has tons of character. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It came with a small kitchenette. Breakfast, which included eggs made to order, was only €8 in the renovated historic dining rooms. My off season rate was extremely reasonable. The only thing I didn’t like was the poor internet reception. That might have been because my room was in a different building from the main area. I was worried while walking over that my room might not be as nice as others in the main building, but it was wonderful.

    The lighting at the top of the wooden steps to the top bedroom. I would suggest at night it might be precarious for someone with poor eyesight coming down to the bathroom. There was no light in the small kitchenette cupboard to see to pour boiling water from the kettle. Suggest one table lamp in lounge seating area would improve the ambience and facilitate reading. Toilet seat was wobbly needed fastening. That said I would definitely stay again

    Breakfast at €8 excellent value and being march there was a log fire in the breakfast room. the architecture is very interesting. The sofas in the suite were very comfortable as were the beds with duvets. I would recommend it and definitely rebook the hotel again

    The location and atmosphere in the Jewish quarter of old-town Ortigia. Charming apartment in traditional stone house. Nice to have house-keeping service every day.
