    The air conditioner in the room is a bit problematic, probably because it is a large space. and recommend booking the rooms facing the sea.

    The location, the breakfast, the nice staff

    It was great to have a big pillow and a normal size pillow but both were quite firm, so could not be plumped up, option for a softer pillow too would have been nice.

    Single room was a good size and the bed was bigger than a usual single (by about 50%), which was really nice. There was a chaise longue too. Kettle in room was great.

    It would have been nice to have had tea making facilities in the room. For the price of the room I would have expected it. But that is my only criticism! The smoking area as you walked through to breakfast was a little surprising..

    Hotel was beautiful and having nuns on the reception desk on the evening was a surprise and quite delightful!

    Breakfast was not living up to earlier standards because of Covid 19.

    Nice location for our purpose. Breakfast was reduced because of Covid 19 restrictions. Room was nice although the weather was terrible: water leaked through windows. Staff helped as good as they could.

    The location is excellent and the room is super clean and comfortable. You can reach all cool ortigia spots by foot. It is hard to find a place to park but this is true everywhere in the island.

    I had the idea they didn’t always understand what I was saying. The rooms could use a little bit more looking after. Lamp was boeken and drain was sluggish. Curtains where torn…

    Location was good but I picked the hotel for that. So the hotel has nothing to do with the fact that I wanted that location

    There was a chapel next to my room. The nuns was praying there. First at the evening, then again from 5:45 - 6:30 at the morning. We wasn't expect that at all. We was with two Motorcycle - have to pay for each of them 20€ for parking. In observe of all that up writen is 80€ for a cell with a small bed - sorry not worth.

    Smoking was allowed on the premises and the room was a little dark. The wattage of the bulbs was insufficient.

    Comfortable bed, great shower, good breakfast and beautifully decorated hallways and breakfast room. Location across from the water was excellent, as was the rooftop patio.

    We originally were meant to stay at the sister property but were swapped a few days prior due to renovations. This wasn’t a problem but we still went to breakfast each day across the way.

    The location was excellent, right in the edge of town looking over the water and a short walk form the public garage. Also the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, very friendly and accommodating. We were able to use the spa facilities at the sister property the day of our arrival and they were able to get us in for a private visit to the Turkish bath plus a massage.

    the shower - is very small and I kept bumping into the shower caddy!

    the location was excellent, the staff were fabulous. we also loved the hotel cats! we did have heavy bags and so needed assistance to get them up the stairs ( Benessere has a lift the other part of the hotel across the road does not)

    The shower was particularly tight. Difficult to move in and certainly could not bend over.

    Located in Ortigia so walkable everywhere. Converted convent on a grand scale. Beautifully furnished with religious overtones. Large selection of breakfast goodies. Staff friendly & helpful. Nuns still live there so occasional encounters.
