Pros: A lovely hotel in an excellent location and very helpful and welcoming staff. It is in Piazza Duomo, a beautiful square in this historic zone. You can sit there and sio a glass of wine while watching the world go by. I wiill certainly return.

Pros: Best location in Ortigia....

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing hotel! Clean and spacious rooms, elegant decor, AMAZING breakfast spread, and to top it off the staff were exceptional. The restaurant was also a highlight - we had the most delicious meal there on our last night. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to experience Siracuse in style.

Cons: Not much to fault, except for a stronger aircon in the rooms. It was so so hot when we went in August. There isn't a pool at the property and during the middle of summer, it gets unbearably hot in the afternoons so a dip in the pool would have made the world of difference!

Pros: Amazing location just off the main square in Ortigia, perfect to walk everywhere. Lovely terrace for breakfast which was delicious. Front of house staff very friendly and helpful

Cons: Space is tight driving through the old town to this hotel. Best to avoid the valet parking if you have a big car

Pros: Details everywhere. Excellent room. Beautiful place. Location. View.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: It is indeed a palace. Great place to stay. Comfortable. Fantastic staff. Good location.

Pros: The bed was exceptional and so were the pillows and sheets. The view was great, ac worked.

Cons: The LED lighting in the room was bad, the small shower unbearable, and the overall decor not to my liking.

Pros: Thé staff is helpful and nice. The room was clean and well maintained. This hotel is beautiful and well located. The breakfast was also very good.

Pros: Great rooms, very spacious

Cons: Spa facilities were not all fully up and running or working

Pros: Superb location right in the heart of Ortigia, housed in a grand old building. Room was of a loft style, with a large bed on the mezzanine floor. Comfortable bed, bright room, and has two toilets (very useful). Breakfast was generally of good quality. Ample parking in front of the property (for travellers with cars).

Cons: Service attitude of some of the staff was unacceptably poor, for a "luxury" property. Two examples - (i) there is ample public parking next door, convenient for drivers. When we checked in, we were told that we could opt to pay for valet (at 30 euro for 24 hours), or park at the public lots (one euro per hour; payment either via parking machine or the EasyPark phone app). We opted for valet the first day, but on the second day we parked at the public lots. We received an inexplicable parking fine the next morning, although valid payment had been made. We approached the reception staff for assistance when we returned, and they told us they would email the local police (with a screenshot of our payment) and keep us informed the next morning. When we checked the next morning a different receptionist (female, with dark shoulder length curly hair) immediately told us with a defensive tone that the hotel could do nothing, as we were at fault for not using the hotel valet service. This attitude was poor and offensive, and beside the point. The fact is her colleagues made a very simple offer of contacting the police, and we were not at fault if the instructions were not clearly passed on. Also, the male manager present, whilst the conversation was getting heated right next to the breakfast guests, did not make any gesture to calm the situation down, and only offered to check when the receptionist left us without a word of apology, and we had to protest to another female receptionist present. When we returned later in the afternoon, this same receptionist was the one who had to appease us (whilst the manager and the first receptionist were nowhere to be seen) (ii) room cleaning was poor - we had left a cup of tea from the morning on the table in the room, this was not cleared away when we returned, and neither was bottled water refilled. We had to complain at the reception before they sent room service up to remedy. Bed was poorly made as well.

Pros: Excellent hotel, great location and a real high end feel. Although open for a year it looks like new. Excellent location to tour Ortigia and Syracussa

Cons: It is a shame that the swimming pool was an extra charge, and also that the hotel had almost no outside space to eat or enjoy a drink.

Pros: I like the location, the clean room and comfortable contemporary design. Breakfast is good. The fitness gym center is below 5 start expectation.

Cons: Generally speaking, The staff are green ( sophistication level not match 5 star nor luxury expectation . Lack of warm welcome smile from a five start hotel host. The breakfast staff should volunteer to offer manue to customer since this is included in the breakfast, not wait till customer ask.

Pros: Brilliant location, 15 minutes walk to everything! Loved the street food two minutes around the corner :)

Cons: The double bed was made up of two single mattresses which was problematic.

Pros: From outside the building is not impressive as the hotel is located in an apartment block, but don’t let this fool you! It is fully renovated and fresh inside, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the rooms comfortable. We stayed in an airy, big 3-bed room, and were fully happy with the stay. We chose the hotel because it is close to the Greek Theatre, and were not disappointed since it was only a 10 min walk away. Ortigia is a 20 min walk away in the other direction. The breakfast was varied.

Cons: The only thing that could have been given more attention was the balcony as it had not been renovated like the rest of the room.

Pros: There was a really big buffet breakfast!

Pros: It was very clean and staff very friendly. Breakfast was excellent.

Pros: Location is very good. The island Ortigia is accessible by foot easily and quickly. Calm neighbourhood. Moreover, the apartment is new and fresh in the summer. Perfect price-quality relationship.

Pros: very clean. hand made cakes were delicious

Pros: Staff were lovely. Everything was spotlessly clean.

Cons: room was very small but it was advertised as a small double.

Pros: Nice familial hotel rooms very close from the Neapolis site. Good breakfast with handmade pastries Easy to park in the street

Pros: Very clean, large and nicely appointed rooms. Good breakfast. Free parking available in the street.

Cons: Only one pizzeria in the surrounding area (there is a coffee shop but it was closed for vacation). A bit far from the center.

Pros: Acceptable value for money. You can park on the streets nearby. The room was clean.

Cons: The property is located at a busy road junction, so the room was quite loud. The building looks a bit menacing and you have to walk for a good 20 mins to reach Ortygia.

Pros: Good location but the room was ordinary with a very poor bath room and inward facing view. Great AC which was important given the temp in August.

Pros: Location was great although parking was rare without paying highly for it

Cons: The room we were provided looked nothing like the room shown on the booking page. Whilst it was ok, it wasn't what I was expecting and smaller than I thought it was going to be

Pros: Lovely location. Rooms clean and friendly staff. Breakfast was nice.

Cons: Had to pay extra for the spa.

Pros: Location is stunning and the staff very helpful.

Pros: Location and staff. Very easy to really explore the island on foot. Staff very helpful and spoke wonderful English. As well- views to the water were nice.

Cons: I must fave missed the detail indicating it had been a convent. LOTS of religious pictures, etc. Furniture and window treatments were dated, dark and heavy. All was clean but it just wasn’t an uplifting place.

Pros: Breakfast was very unpredictable, if you arrived before too many others had arrived then there was a reasonable choice. However it would have been nice to have ripe fruit and not just bananas. There was small plate of bruschetta which if you were lucky you could get one!

Cons: The room we had the air conditioning did not work and despite trying twice to get it fixed it never was. Also the safe did not work in the room as the battery was flat. We were told it would be replaced but never happened. The Hotel is in a great position but it could be fantastic with a little more attention to detail.

Pros: Very good hotel and overall experience in Ortigia. This hotel is perfectly located on the island and offers high level standards.

Pros: The hotel is in a good location away from the busy centre. The staff are very polite and helpful.

Cons: The bathroom in the room we stayed left much to be desired.

Cons: Nowhere to sit outside. Terrace closed in evening

Pros: The private beach is nice and the staff was helpful

Cons: The breakfast is industrial, nothing is fresh, it's cheap supermarket products. We changed rooms 3 times because something wasn't working. We saw many ants in one of the rooms. This hotel should loose 2 stars out of 5 or change management ASAP.

Pros: Breakfast was superb so much improved since our last visit. The location is excellent.

Cons: Our room was dark and uninviting. As we have stayed before and always had a room overlooking the marina it was a big disappointment.

Pros: Good location Friendly staff Flexible corespondent for our request

Cons: Elevator

Pros: Cleanliness, breakfast included was fantastic The location, the beach, just to name a few

Cons: Some of the staff not very friendly Could be a bit more accommodating

Pros: The location The staff The facilities

Cons: The bar closing at 7pm Insufficient attention to room access from reception staff resulting in uninvited and unexpected visitor with key to our room

Pros: Ortigia overLl was very enjoyable

Pros: Location of hotel is excellent

Cons: Suite was NOT the room pictured, far, far smaller. Private beach is OK but what they don't tell you is it's on a different island and takes 20 m on a boat to get there - AND they charge €30 per DAY to use it. Also not private - public on beach either side of hotel section. Aircon is NOT adjustable - hotel decides what is 'fine' and I don't want to sleep in 20° plus because it saves the hotel money. 50% of staff nice other 50% very rude

Pros: Quality , lovely staff , perfect location, parking.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: That it was very central and near the marina

Cons: It would have been nice to have air conditioning in the restaurant

Pros: The hotel is in a charming old building on one of Syracuse's main boulevards, leading straight to Ortygia and lined with small cafes and restaurants. The room was comfortable and airy. The reception and breakfast staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast coffee prepared and served by a specialist!

Cons: The breakfast was adequate but uninspiring. Unripe fruit a particular grumble for us, and too many 'dolce' items compared to the number and the quality of the 'salata' items. Parking in the vicinity not easy, at times quasi impossible.

Pros: The location is great, just 5 min from Ortigia, the rooms are amazing, and the lobby very nice. Also the girl at the reception was really helpful.

Cons: Nothing we could think of

Pros: Great location Beautiful building Quiet

Cons: All was very good
