The property is situated on the first floor of an old building with no lifts. It is very convenient to the centre and it’s a lovely walk to the sights.
Parking can be a little difficult to find so you may have to be ready to walk.
Highly recommend the property for a couple nights stay.

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room with everything we needed. Close to Ortigia and parking. Quiet room and comfortable bed. The Aircondition worked perfectly. Would recommend :)

Try Somewhere Else
Posted 29 May 2024 on HotelsNon existent service. This is more like a Air B&B - absolutely not a family run B&B. We were on a fourth floor walk up. No elevator. No one to ask questions. No breakfast. The room is large and has a stove to cook yourself.
The second day, they cleaned the room but left the sink area filthy.
Great location to visit Ortigia. Very close walking distance

Great hotel, lackluster service
Posted 26 May 2024 on HotelsHad a good stay overall, though this was our least favorite accommodation during our trip to Sicily. I’ll give the pros and then the cons.
Pros: huge room, included a small kitchen like an airbnb, great WiFi, very clean and modern, right next to Ortigia and a bunch of wonderful restaurants.
Cons: reception is not open during any set hours, so arrival and departure is very annoying as you need to communicate endlessly with the owners, which is not enjoyable for people on vacation (indeed, many times I could see that my messages were read but the owner never responded, and I had to repeatedly prompt him for a response, which is pretty disrespectful to me); we were on the third floor of an incredibly tall building (it was 70 stairs from top to bottom every time we had to go anywhere, with no lift) - while this was fine for me and my partner, it was very hard for my mom; the bathroom was built to look very modern, including glass at the top, but that meant that any time you turned on the lights, it illuminated the entire room; the shutters did not keep much light out from sunrise; and the street is noisy, including a VERY noisy person our first night who was banging incessantly on the door downstairs to get in in the middle of the night.
Overall, this was our least favorite stay in Sicily, though I personally think the accommodations themselves and location were overall very good. The check in/out process was the worst part of our stay.

Quiet, comfortable and near sites
Posted 2 Mar 2024 on HotelsVery nice, quiet place to stay on a busy street. They were very nice to allow me to check in early. Really just to drop my bag. The door on the street looks a bit drab; but, once you're in it's very clean and comfortable. Shower pressure was strong, so nice to have.

Getting better after a disappointing start
Posted 29 Feb 2024 on HotelsJust before arriving in Syracuse I I had a painful calf tear and could barely walk or carry my case( ( especially up stairs). The ad hadn't mentioned four flights of stairs( up to the second floor) to my room, so I rang reception before arriving and asked for someone to take my suitcase upstairs.
They unfortunately declined, although did change my room to a lower floor( but still two flights)
After that things improved, although they have no paper maps of the city.
The bedroom was comfortable enough, with a plain corporate decor.
Corso Umberto is a wide, plain street, but with some very affordable cafes and small restaurants. But it is one way to traffic, including buses, so it's impossible to catch a bus to Ortigia, where most of the sights are.
So I had to walk slowly and painfully to get there ( 20 minutes for me)
Reception was otherwise friendly, and did take my case downstairs on checkout

The apartment is great: modern, renovated, clean. It is three blocks from the bridge to Ortigia, what makes it very convenient. Laundromat and two groceries at the corner, along with several restaurants and a rental car with multiple company options (Alamo, Enterprise, etc). The apartment we stayed was on the 3rd floor with no elevator, so the arrival and departure days were tough. The apartment is cleaned every day, the A/C is strong and powerful and wifi worked well. It could have more kitchen utensils, such as pan lids and a sharper knife — but it was a nice option for the pricey apartments in the island of Ortiga.
