Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. While the rooms were comfortable and clean, the lack of a window and water leakage issue were drawbacks. The service was incredibly friendly, especially accommodating my dietary needs. The convenient location allowed me to explore Ortigia easily, but the dining experience did not entirely meet expectations. On the bright side, the facilities were satisfactory and maintained well.
The hotel offers great value for money with spacious and clean rooms; however, during the winter, it can get very cold without a heater or additional blanket provided. The WiFi is good, and there's ample parking available. I would come back but perhaps not in the colder months.
I found the hotel to be clean and cheap, although not in the main tourist center. The fair breakfast and good working air conditioning were highlights for me, even though it was quite hot during my stay, so I had to run the AC 24/7 to stay cool.
I found the hotel to be a charming place to stay, away from the tourist hustle but still conveniently located. The breakfast was decent but needed extra cooling during the warm season. The rooms felt like cozy cabins perched on the terrace, providing a unique stay experience.
The hotel offers a great value for money, with spacious and clean rooms, although lacking heating during winter stays. The breakfast is fair, and the WiFi is reliable. The location is outside the main tourist zone, providing a safe and quiet environment, yet still close to key attractions.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with access to an open roof terrace, making it a great value for money choice despite being a bit cold without heating in winter.

Its location, though not in the main tourist center, is convenient for exploring with easy access to transportation and nearby amenities. The dining experience was excellent, featuring delicious homemade pies and jams. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks in colder seasons.
I stayed at this hotel which was located on a busy street corner where kids, cars, and motorcycles raced around all hours of the night. Despite not getting the apartment we booked, the room was nice and clean, with good working air conditioning. However, there was a noticeable dirty sock locker room smell lingering in the room.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering great value for the money. However, the top-floor balcony room I stayed in tended to get too hot during the summer, requiring constant use of the AC to cool it down. The service was exceptionally helpful and kind, reflecting true Sicilian hospitality, although some staff members had limited English proficiency. The location was conveniently situated between Ortigia and the archaeological park, making it easy to explore the area, and the quiet neighborhood was a welcome retreat from the main tourist zones. The dining options ranged from simple croissants and fruit to more satisfying choices, but keep in mind that the description might not always match the reality. The facilities were adequate, providing a comfortable stay overall.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The apartment we received was outdated, smelt like it had been smoked in, and was not clean, but on the plus side, the staff were friendly, accommodating, and professional. They even took me to the bus station on my last day and went out of their way to provide me with a gluten-free breakfast. However, the price was not really worth it, and the dining experience was sad with limited options.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room I stayed in was spacious and clean but very cold without a heater or extra blanket.
