We did have a very big room but the air conditioning made us quite sick each night. We ended up having to open the windows, which in August is quite hot. The pool was large and plenty of room and the included breakfast was very good. The location is about 2km from the island of Otigia, which isn’t a difficult walk down but a very sweaty one coming back.

Elegant 19th century hotel
An old elegant hotel with great service and a modern pool complex. Breakfast was heavy on pastries and sweets, not my taste but some prefer that. Location is too far to walk to the old city but makes up for that with a nice pool. A nice addition in the heat of July. I would stay again. Free and easy parking as well if you have a car.

This hotel was lovely we were delighted with our room 102 fabulous with 2 balconies, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, was a real treat. Only downside is its a good 20min walk to old town and 20 Euros taxi back at night. We felt the hotel was worth the walk as pool area was great

Terrible hotel in every respect. Very stingy with everything from sheets to pillows to anything that would make a stay acceptable. No complimentary anything. Coffee was terrible. Breakfast disgusting. Yet they claim 4 stars. It is a one to two star hotel at best. Oh and they charge for pool towels.

Overnight following a cruise
Loved the grandeur of this hotel, particularly the public rooms. The air conditioning in our bedroom didn't seem to do a lot unfortunately, but the room was clean and the buffet breakfast had a good choice of food and drinks. The pool wasn't available when we stayed as they were having building work done in readiness for high season, but it looked like it will be a lovely area when complete. We would stay there again!

It is a lovely property with a nice amount of history. The staff were fairly arrogant and seemed to feel that we were lucky to be able to stay there. We asked for a simple kettle so we could make a morning cup of tea (we were surprised that the rooms don't have kettles) and the response at reception was one of shock; we could come downstairs and buy cups of tea. We were made to feel that we had asked a very inappropriate question!

Lovely clean sheets, I really rate the cleanliness of this hotel as I have a dust allergy. A multitude of gluten free options for breakfast, nice staff. I extended my stay by an extra 2 nights. It's a bit of a walk into Ortigia but good to get your steps in with so much fantastic food on offer!

There is an elegance of a past era about the place and it is well maintained. The breakfasts were a highlight with a wide range of options, well prepared and arranged. Our room had a small balcony with a view, was well appointed and comfortable. The negatives were a tiny shower cubicle in the bathroom and the sound insulation from neighbouring rooms was not good.
