Demasiado caro para o hotel que é
Pros:

Adorei a localização e a igreja privada que tinham.
Também adorei o terraço no 3º piso.

Cons:

Não gostei que o quarto dos meus pais ficou virado para o pátio interior do hotel, ao qual tinha um recipiente com água e estavam lá sempre mosquitos a morder os hóspedes.
Também não gostei do serviço de quartos, pois avisámos várias vezes sobre a televisão num dos quartos e não conseguiram resolver a tempo.
O chuveiro de ambos os quartos não funcionava muito bem, mandava agua quente mas também agua fria ao mesmo tempo.
A torneira num dos quartos ficou presa e não dava para fechar/abrir.
O isolamento sonoro também era quase inexistente.

Pleasant, great location would stay again.
Pros:

It was a lovely place with kind staff in a great location. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was fine.

Cons:

There free bikes aren’t available and it is just one bike, not bikes. I also had my neighbour receive a call at 1:40am and I could hear it word for word which was annoying. Not the hotels fault though.

Dans l’ensemble, une très bonne expérience et un excellent point de départ pour découvrir Ortigia
Pros:

L’emplacement est vraiment idéal, au bord de la mer et à seulement quelques minutes du marché d’Ortigia. Le centre de Syracuse est également très facilement accessible, soit en longeant la mer, soit en empruntant les charmantes petites ruelles d’Ortigia.
La literie est très confortable, la chambre était très propre et j’ai particulièrement apprécié le calme la nuit : aucun bruit de rue ne nous a dérangés. Le personnel est également très sympathique et accueillant.

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner était correct et suffisant, mais pourrait être un peu plus varié.
Un petit point d’amélioration : il serait appréciable que le personnel rappelle aux clients de veiller à ne pas claquer les portes, notamment le matin et en soirée, car cela peut être assez bruyant et dérangeant pour les autres clients
