During our 3 nights in the hotel the air conditioning system didn't function, there was a thunderstorm that flooded our room and the entrance door to our room wouldn't lock when we exited the room. The hotel/ Expedia did not adequately compensate us for the inconvenience. The hotel is beautiful, well located and very comfortable however.

Best luxury hotel in Ortigia/Syracusa

The best (perhaps the only) luxury hotel in Ortigia. Excellent location on the sea within walking distance to the everything. Very nice rooms. We had a Garamond Jr. Suite. The staff is super friendly and sleep good English. Service was excellent. The buffet breakfast was very nice (€50 if you prepay it). Valet parking available (€40). The only complaints we had were that the pillows were not comfortable, the mattress was super firm, there was no comforter (only a thin blanket), and that may things were not functioning. For example there were two awnings in our balcony and one could not be opened. The pool has pretty mosaics but no chairs to rest near the pool. Hamas/steam room and some of the showers didn’t work. The pool has nice chairs inside the pool with spa jets but none of them worked. Still in spite of all that we would defiantly stay there again since it’s the only luxury hotel in town

Beautiful historical building with common areas that have a “wow” factor. Room was specious and had a view of the water. Everything on the island is walkable. Enjoyed being in proximity to the market and shopping. Only minor piece of feedback was this was the one and only hotel during our trip to Sicily that did not provide complimentary breakfast. Seems like that could be considered given the price of the room.

Location: Excellent, on Ortigia island but close to mainland. Near open air market & many good restaurants. Facilities: Common areas are superb & luxurious. Room is OK, not great. Bathroom too small, especially shower, which also leaks after each use. Service: At breakfast, service is excellent. Housekeeping is OK, sometimes good, sometimes a bit off. Food: Judging from breakfast, restaurant probably very good. In conclusion: If the bathroom was larger and better, it would truly be a 5-star experience, otherwise I feel it's only 4-star.
