Property is worn, dirty and partly broken
Pros:

Fantastic location
Very charming and historic property (though see comments below)

Cons:

Overall cleanliness is poor: floors are dirty, bedding not clean, and glasses unusable
Property is worn and partly broken: trash bin damaged, furniture chipped, paint peeling, and bathroom not properly maintained
Beds are very hard and uncomfortable
View is disappointing (facing a brick wall)

Summary
In short, this could be a fantastic place if you’re after a budget, backpacker-style stay in a lovely historic setting. However, in its current condition, it is not recommendable. With improvements to cleanliness and basic maintenance, it could become a great option.

Pros:

Très original et atypique

Cons:

Douche bouché une odeur d’encens ou je ne sais pas qui est entêtante .
Nous ne sommes resté qu’une seule nuit donc nous n’avons pas eu envie de nous plaindre plus que ça .

Pros:

La localización en Ortigia es excepcional.

Cons:

El reclamo del baño judío se tuerce bastante, al estar el alojamiento en otro edificio (parece que la mayoría de las veces), y al querer cobrarte por visitarlo, aunque estés alojado en el hotel.

A little disappointing
Pros:

I liked the history of the building, and the quaint outside wanderings with interesting greenery and antique decor.

Cons:

I did not like our room. It was dark, in need of several repairs, and a deep cleaning. The staff was not friendly, and the breakfast was just okay.

One of my favorite places.
Pros:

A beautiful old building in beautiful Ortigia. Before staying at Alla Giudecca, I read nothing about the Jewish baths beneath the building that date to 500 BC. You can be taken down with a small tour with no phone or camera. It is a sacred and fascinating place.
Great room. Wonderful breakfast in a beautiful dining space that has a museum quality presentation.
