Beautiful building, good location, excellent restaurant. The only two negatives were the Wi-Fi is a weak signal and security of Wi-Fi was poor. I had trouble downloading and getting service. I asked for a dining recommendation and it was excellent.

United States of AmericaA luxury hotel right in the heart Syracuse with parking.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is a charming historical boutique hotel overlooking the Ortigia harbor. A perfect location for exploring the island. The rooms are lovely and well appointed. We experienced two rooms. The inner courtyard rooms are a bit small especially if you are traveling with much luggage. The partial sea view was perfect. The sea view rooms were booked. We had a look and they are spectacular. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant and terrace was exceptional. Besides the delicious buffet we ordered off a menu of numerous eggs dishes. Dinner in the restaurant on our last night was memorable at sunset. The rooms are immaculately clean and the staff is friendly and courteous. Returning in the evening there were fresh towels in the bathroom and cookies on our pillows. We will definitely return.
FranceI loved the location of the hotel--it was fairly easy to drive to and the hotel parking was just across the street from the hotel, plus it was near to many good restaurants and sights. The restaurant and the terrace bar provided a view of the city, and was a nice setting for an end of the day drink and breakfast the next morning. The room was clean and comfortable, if a bit small, but was fine for one person. Staff was friendly and helpful, especially for getting my heavy bag up and down the steps at the entry to the hotel.
United States of AmericaLocation for walking to all historical places was Top, and parking area directly in front of it, and good service, for example to arrange Covid-Test on short term.
GermanyExcellent location. Great breakfast, with a view, from the terrace, on the city and the sea. Had a great massage at the Spa.
