Old Arab Paper Mill Tours and Activities

Our room was very musty smelling our entire stay even with the air conditioning on!

We had a wonderful stay! At first we encountered a few hiccups that the staff immediately took care of to make our stay amazing! The spa is INCREDIBLE. It's a little bit of a walk into Ortigia but we loved getting our steps in each day. We highly recommend this place!

We are a family of four and had a really enjoyable stay at the hotel and all the staff were so lovely and friendly to us. A special mention to David who was our server at breakfast time, he was great fun and so friendly to us. The 2 pools were fabulous and well maintained and all rooms and areas in the hotel are beautiful. The spa is out of this world!! The breakfast was also great with a fabulous selection. In general the hotel and grounds are beautiful. However, some minor things that prevented me from giving it 5 stars were; the general upkeep of the building, as the roof and railings are getting dated and could do with being cleaned and/or painted to freshen up the building. We arrived 15 minutes before check-in time so appreciated we would have to maybe wait for our rooms, however we ended up having to wait over an hour, which wasn’t ideal. The location around the hotel is not great, it is a bit run down and no facilities. However, we had a cat so this wasn’t a big issue but something to bear in mind. The biggest issue for us was the lack of air conditioning in the rooms.. in Sicily.. in summer.. we were here for 4 nights and I don’t think slept one of them!
