Ein schönes Hotel um Syracus zu entdecken
Pros:

Ein sehr angenehmes Hotel mit freundlichem Personal und einem schönen Speisesaal. Es ist ruhig gelegen. Zu der Insel Ortigia gelangt man am besten mit einem Taxi. Zu Fuß ist es zu weit. Schönes Frühstücksbuffet.

Pros:

Es fantástico poder aparcar de manera gratuita. Sin embargo, el hotel no está cerca de Ortigiia. Tuvimos que ir en coche (10 minutos). El personal del hotel fue muy amable, pero las instalaciones están algo obsoletas,. Deberían modernizar los baños y mejorar la insonorización. El hotel en sí es precioso, clásico, pero algo decadente. El desayuno estaba bien pero tardaban en reponer cosas calientes.

We loved the hotel, loved Sircusa and will be back.
Pros:

Pool side area was beautiful.
Breakfast was bountiful, but the servers were what made it a great experience.
Front desk staff very accomodating

Cons:

No air conditioning! We heard it was a law in Italy that AC cannot be used when outside temp is 24 deg C or less. That doesn't work for natured guests. Sleeping was miserable.
