We booked a “Superior” room as it cost only a few extra Euros/night but ended up with a standard room (smaller and zero view).
They gave us a discount on departure but make sure you get the Superior if you book Superior. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Convenient location in Ortigia. Room was average size for the location and price. Included breakfast was typical. Sheets and pillowcase were stained, but were changed the next day. Wifi didn't work for most of our stay.

Beautiful hotel well located
Nice stay in this beautiful hotel. Wonderful room with painted ceiling. Good breakfeast but we did not feel welcome to it (have to ask for forks, spoon, and seem to bother when asking). The hotel location is very good, not in the overcrowded parts of Ortigia, but at walking distance of everything. The team can send your car plate to the police to authorize access to ZTL to drop off luggages.
Some people went back to their room late in the night and made lot of noise in the corridors.

Located in a very good position you can walk easily all around Ortigia.
The staff is wonderful, all the ladies are kind and helpful 😊
Breakfast is rich with a few Sicilian products too.
The rooms are clean and spacious in a perfect Italian style!
I will definitely come back.

The location was very good and the staff was helpful. Our ground-floor room had a nice little courtyard. Unfortunately, the shower was very slippery and had mold in the grout. I don't think the floors were swept while we were there; probably something that should be done when guests are out walking the town every day. We didn't get to see the rooms in the main part of the hotel, so can't comment on them.
