Cons:

Liten säng. Högljutt badrum. Baren var stängd. Spa var fullbokat och kostade massor (på booking.com så stod ingen notering om att spa-avdelningen skulle kosta något, dessutom finns inget gym (också listat på booking.com)

Rooftop Deck is great as well as the location; room and breakfast are just okay.
Pros:

Location was good; right on the water. Breakfast was fine. The room was fine; plenty of room, clean. Rooftop deck was great. We enjoyed the rooftop deck.

Cons:

We had 9 in our party and some of the bathrooms only had a bathtub in the bathroom and there wasn't any type of surround to keep the water from getting on the floor. We had another group booked for the same hotel, but when I requested all walk in showers, I was told only half the rooms would have walk in showers. We canceled the second reservation.

Comfortable hotel in a central but quiet location
Pros:

Comfortable and peaceful hotel in a quiet location just across the road from the sea. The bus stop to/from the train/ bus station is just 100 meters away. Walking distance to all the main sites in Ortigia. I loved the shared terrace with a sea view one floor above my room. Good size single room - space for my luggage, adequate size bathroom. Good breakfast, kind and helpful staff.

Cons:

The smell from the shower drain.
