Great stay in Syracuse

Clean, comfortable stay in the heart of the Ortigia Island area of Syracuse. Helpful and friendly staff. Great breakfast and rooftop bar area. We coordinated with the hotel for valet parking which was helpful given density of the area and limited parking options. Convenient location with easy access to most of the key sites in the area.

Highly recommend this little hotel. We had such a great stay. The hotel is in a very central position in Oritigia. Great breakfasts and a very comfortable room with a balcony looking over one the the main pedestrian streets, but best of all was the team at the hotel who couldn't of been more helpful and welcoming. We hope to return some day.
