"It's a cute and cosy hotel right next to the ocean. Gorgeous views day and night. Breakfast was very impressive and with lots of varieties to choose. I enjoyed the breakfast a lot. Not sure about the rest of the hotel, the room I stayed, the shower needed some maintenance work. The draining was slow and the doors couldn't closed with complete seal so the water goes out. Be prepared for the small size of the single room, but it was enough for me, especially when I didn't stay in the room during the day. Staff friendliness was mixed. Some were extremely friendly, some were not helpful, but would say 90% of the staff were very friendly, kind, respectful, and willing to help."

"Large older hotel, built in 1862 but renovated. Quiet. Situated in an historic park. Many bus tours stay here. Rooms are clean, fairly large and adequately equipped. Bed needs to be upgraded, mattress is hard and uncomfortable. Shower is in the bathtub, you need to step over the bathtub to access. Limited views from rooms. Convenient city bus stop not far from the main gate to access downtown and Ortigia. Free parking for those with rental cars. Breakfast is okay, typical large group buffet-style with chaotic frenzy to grab fresh items in limited quantities. Restaurant for dinner is okay but overpriced. Much better dining options in town."

"We arrived feeling stressed after the drive to the hotel! The lovely young lady on the front desk welcomed us with a warm Smile and arranged for the bartender to bring us a drink outside so we could soak up the afternoon sun and relax. We were served a delicious aperol. The decor throughout the hotel is very tasteful even the corridors to the room. Clean white walls but a hint of original brickwork showing. Comfy beds, crisp white linen. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom. Everywhere was spotless. Great breakfast and amazing service. Lovely location just opposite the pretty pebbly beach and around the corner from the lovely streets full of restaurants, shops and wonderful architecture. Would definitely return."
