Visited Noto once again and returned to the Sofia (tried a B&B last year but not a great experience) so back to the Sofia and as always the all the staff are friendly and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend staying here - The rooms are clean and comfortable - however it would be nice to have Tea and coffee making facilities in the room, which I thought was standard for the 4* hotel. It is on the outskirts of Noto but the centre is 5 minute in the car. I will be back again

“Did what it said on the tin”- good value, close to city and with pool. Great staff, excellent breakfast and a real draw- easy and free parking. Great as a base for a visit to Noto. If you want character and old Sicily- not for you but overall very good as a base

Dated decor that could benefit with a refurbishment. Overall no complaints.
Had to get taxis in Notto.

The hotel itself was modern and spacious and the staff were friendly enough but a judo convention of young kids spoilt our stay. That and watching another couple of guests being allowed to sit their dog at the breakfast table on a chair while they feed it ham from the buffet breakfast spoilt the stay.

Spacious room. Easy self parking. The only problem is that not many staff speak English.

The Staff are lovely, but the hotel is slipping and in need of some work (Shower did not function properly, cracks in wall ) the quality of the breakfast has also slipped only one type of yogurt Pineapple but after the 6th or 7th request from guests they actually found a couple of other flavours. To begin with the waiters did not have masks on then suddenly they all put them on which was quite disconcerting. I have stayed here nearly every year for the last 10 years so its a little sad to see the decline in quality

Great hotel with nice pool area. We had a circle-ended room which was really big. Nice bathroom with Jacuzzi, lots of toiletries. Surprise complimentary Prosecco and fresh fruit delivered to our room (very welcome!). Would definitely stay here again.

Back here after a year off having stayed here every year for the previous 7 years. It familiar and comfortable. Most off the staff are excellent helpful and friendly. We had some maintenance issues with the room but these were sorted and changed rooms no problems. The being the COVID year things where different at breakfast served buffet which is slow be necessary and with masks on makes it less welcoming. But still plenty of choices. I am certain all being well we will be back again so I don’t think I can give a better recommendation than that

Very easy to find, plenty of parking. Convenient stop over as I was
traveling up Italy, and it was close to the motorway.
Room was very clean and comfortable, staff were friendly and polite.
I ate an evening meal and breakfast here, both of which were excellent.

Great pool area, breakfast was bleak. It looked like a big spread but then nothing was very good other than the fresh pastries.

The staff especially Antonio and Fabio at the front desk were very professional , warm , welcoming and accommodating. The hotel is outdated and needs remodeling. The hallways are not air conditioned and lack light . The main attractions of Noto are quite a long walk. Overall don’t feel that hotel is 4 Stars should be a 3 Star hotel .

Nice hotel with a great infrastructure and beds. Lovely pool good for families and business people. One of the best breakfasts we have had in Sicily. The comments about proximity to city center are right but walking back at 11:00 PM can be lonely and would not recommend for single women or seniors. TV didn’t work but didn’t care. Over all great value. Very friendly and service oriented staff.

Good breakfast hard boil egg, many meat slices and cheese, very large assortment of baked treats, coffee, and excellent bread
Our rental car had no windshield fluid. The manager took it upon himself to help me find the hood latch. Being a new Renault, he owns an older version, there was no latch anywhere inside the vehicle. He even came back with a high powered flashlight. After spending a goo twenty minutes online searching Renault we went back outside and sure enough to unhook the latch requires moving two front vents and then unsnapping the latch. His English was good but his service in aiding was outstanding.

Modern hotel, enough parking space, far from the tourists' attractions. Breakfast very reach with deserts. However, the way to the restaurant is not marked clearly

The hotel met all our expectations. Good rooms, breakfast buffet (continental style) got us off to a good start each day and loads of parking to use Hotel as a base for touring. Swimming pool was rarely busy, so good way to finish each day. We ate in the restaurant twice and enjoyed the quality (and quantity) on offer. Only a 10 minute walk to the beautiful town of Noto where there were plentiful restaurants to meet every budget.
Syracuse and Ragusa were each an hour's drive. Our other day trips to Etna, Taormina and The Roman Villa of Casale were each two hours each way, but were all well worth the visits.

The parking is right in front of the hotel which is of the easiest access. The hotel was not busy at the time of our stay, parking is available anytime and spacious, it was a pleasant relief.
We had a one of a kind experience in our first night stay! When we were ready to go to bed, we couldn't find any cover other than a sheet (what we call a flat sheet in North America) - no blanket, no comforter. We called the reception staff on duty, she insisted that the cover is in the room ...
We had to ask her to come to our room, and the cover she meant is the bed cover (i.e. the decorative piece), she still insisted that the piece is the cover if we need one, that Italians only need a sheet for the summer, blankets and comforters are for the winter.
We argued and insisted, we told her that we had either blanket or comforter in all the hotels we stayed including hotels we stayed in Sicily, she finally agreed to check with someone and brought a comforter to our room sometime later.
We don't really think the hotel staff is to blame, if any staff has not received adequate training, is the management's responsibility.
By the way, the hotel seems to cater to groups. When no group was staying, the breakfast was obviously inferior. We were able to tell because one of the 3 nights we stayed there, there was no any group staying.
