UNA Hotels One Siracusa Wellness & SPA
Great room, breakfast, and staff. Adequate parking. Not too far from the historic district. Only issue we had is that the walls everywhere are painted black and lights were barely on, so it’s difficult to see where you are going. That’s the vibe, but older people like us may have a problem.

Algila' Ortigia Charme Hotel
The room was comfortable, spacious and quiet. We had a second small room as a sitting area. We had a small Juliette balcony overlooking the waterfront. Nice bathroom. Very central location. Coffee in room wasn’t that great compared to other hotels in this price point. Instant coffee. Great restaurant ...
