This is a fabulous old style hotel brought up to date in a really good location for Ortigia. The rooftop restaurant and terrace have a beautiful view and breakfast has a very large choice and is very good. The staff are extremely attentive and all seem to have the freedom to chat to guests like human beings and not "5 star robots". A welcome change.
This hotel has an amazing location and the breakfast is to die for! The staff were also super attentive and kind and I can't think of anything I didn't like! I definitely recommend!
A wonderful hotel in a fantastic location on the waterfront and within easy walking of all major sites. The buffet breakfast was outstanding and included cooked to order items. The room was immaculate and tastefully furnished. The room staff worked hard and made it look as good as new each day. The front desk staff were also friendly and helpful.
The property is beautiful and the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast and dinner were very good and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Superb staff, Emanuel at front desk went above and beyond printing out maps and providing suggestions for day trips.
Hotel and rooms are very dated and lack a cohesive look. Bathroom smelled of sewage and the entire hotel had the smell of grandma’s awful perfume. Rooms are small, location is superb and right on the water. Amazing views from the top floor restaurant. Wait staff fantastic and very attentive.
Stunning hotel and area on the waterfront in Ortigia. Strongly recommend everything except the restaurant. Food was marginal for the price with much better options close by
We had a lovely two day stay here with the family. We arrived with a camper van and the Hotel was very accommodating with parking. Overall very pleased, many thanks!
Beautiful hotel right on the waterfront with parking (paid) just in front. Excellent service and breakfasts. Room elegant with high ceilings but would benefit from air conditioning for the summer months. Easy walking to seafront and around Ortigia.
The service is outstanding—consistently outstanding over five visits. The hotel itself is beautiful and the location is wonderful—right on the harbor and within east walking distance to primary tourist attractions to include a World UNESCO site.
Breakfast was outstanding as was the property. Staff was very attentive and helpful. The view every morning on the roof top while eating breakfast was wonderful. Would absolutely stay there again. There was a safe in the room.
