I very much enjoyed my stay at this wonderful hotel . The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast staff was impeccable and the breakfast was excellent ! Housekeeping made sure all your needs were met. The location was perfect. I took the Interbus from Catania Airport and got off at there last stop which was a short and easy walk ( with 2 pieces of luggage ) . Ortigia was also a short walk over the bridge to explore. Many walkable things to do in opposite direction as well. Plenty of restaurants nearby ( must try the Indian restaurant across from hotel ) . Definitely recommend staying at this Hotel.

Good hotel within walking distance to Ortigia. Nice breakfasts. The public parking lot (15 Euros per day) is a few blocks away. Our room was nice and large with comfortable beds. Staff were courteous, friendly, and helpful. We'd preferred to have had more lights in the room. Shower stall needed updating. There was a shortage of surface area and closet space in the room and the bathroom to unpack you stuff.

All around wonderful stay. It is a bit dated as others have mentioned but it was comfortable and very clean.

The Grande Albergo Alfeo gave personalized service and attention that is uncommon. The room was beautiful and clean. A 3 minute walk across the bridge to the old town of Syracuse. Highly recommended -- we've already scheduled and booked our return to Syracuse next week.

Sorry, but this was not good enough! The Hotel does not have their own parking spaces, you must park on the street and not easy to find free parking. Plusside is breakfast and clean. Both very good. On the booking site it says feather blankets and foam madrass, this is not what you get. Normal bed with paper thin cover. The shower is tragic! I set is at max power and full heat and waited for water to turn warm. After waiting maybe 4-5 min(!!) for it to get warm, i decided to brush my teeth while waiting. But still not warm. So after waiting 6-7 min for water to get warm, i took a rather cold shower. When i was finished and water had been running for 15-20 min, it was OK warmth, but not warm enough. Tragic!! The interior was old, worn down and did not look good. The toalett seat was broken, so not pleasent experience to go there with number two. All in all, location is very good, breakfast good and so was the service. Everything else; adjustment needed!
