Great help from reception regarding parking.

We enjoyed this hotel. It was charming and close to everything. Just one road away from the sea. Could use a few updates, but we didn't spend much time in the room for it to bother us. The staff were helpful and friendly.
4.0
Full of character (with a museum in the basement). Close to restaurants and other sights (the cathedral/museums etc...). Self catering in rooms is basic - better to eat out. About 120 Euro taxi ride from Catania airport. Reception is not 24/7 so arriving out of hours needs some advance planning. Reception staff are very helpful. Ortigia itself is tiny and you can walk everywhere. Don't forget your afternoon siestas.

Very ancient building had both ambiance and charm but also some drawbacks like stairs and noise echoes. Very unique accommodation in superb location.

This is easily one of the most charming and wonderful hotel stays that we have had in years. We would not only stay here again, but highly recommend it. We chose and paid more for room 12, which I highly recommend. It felt like am apartment with three rooms rather than just a hotel stay - it had ocean views from two rooms. The location is A .

A quiet island in the center of Syracuse.
Close to everything that has to be visited.

Room was spacious and well equipped in an ancient villa like atmosphere (used to be the Jewish public baths still visible in the ground floor).
At night (no staff to refer to) we could never figure out how to heat the room, so spent a rather cold December night.

We had a great stay at Alla Giudecca. It's very well located and had a nice ambiance. Breakfast was great and communication easy. The concierge helped us figure out parking and upgraded us to a larger room because it happened to be available. The beds are rather firm, but the spaces are charming and the hotel is just steps away from the water and many of the sights and restaurants. Highly recommend taking a tour of the Jewish baths on site if you have the chance.

My room was so far from the front desk down an alley with limited wifi. I asked them to move me the 2nd day. The bathroom had mold in the shower and the kitchenette needed updating. The blowdryer was broken and the mirror was old. This has a great potential for a hotel but needs updating. The room was big and could have been 2 rooms.
5.0
If you like rustic and history, this is undoubtedly the place for you. We loved it. Your neighbors are local people and you feel completely immersed in the local experience. The jewish baths were a plus, although we felt the charge for a 20 minute dissertation seemed a bit steep ( 7 Euros)
The buffet breakfast was worth the convenience, light but pleasing enough.
Our beddings and pillows was like lying down and smelling down feathers! This is how we sleep at home, and never, ever get down beddings in any hotel or bnb.
The staff, especially Jess were very helpful. They let us check in early and put us in a room that didnt require climbing steps, since my husband had a fairly recent knee surgery.
I would absolutely stay at this place again! There are restaurants near by and everything is in walking distance.
Wear comfortable shoes. Ortigia is mostly old cobblestones.

Comfortable room with nice patio and view, nice breakfast to start the day and primo location. Easy walk to visit the island.

I wouldn't recommend this place.
It's an apartment, the rooms and bathroom are in the second floor, which has a very low ceiling, if you are 1,75m or more you can't walk standing up straight without hitting your head!
The shower had no effectively box, so all the bathroom gets wet.
The external window of the main bedroom was broken, and there was no black-out curtain, so we have sunlight in very early in the morning.
The breakfast could have more fresh fruits once it's a hotel in Sicily! Also the bread was over 9h20 and there was no refill!
They call this a hotel, but the reception is there only for a few hors a day and they can't help you even to call a cab!
5.0
This is a one-of-a-kind hotel - a unique historic building with suites, balconies and historic common/dining areas, a short walk from the Duomo.

The reception was good and welcoming.
Our room was large and comfortable but a bit shabby.
It was good to have a balcony.
Breakfast was disappointing, in terms of choice. Americano coffees were made using instant coffee - not what we expected in Sicily!!!
5.0
Super nice staff. Excellent location, delicious breakfast.
No complaints at all.
I recommend a lot to anybody.

It was absolutely horrible. The staff were rude. When I asked for a new quilt because the one in our room was dusty they replied.

On our 7th visit to Ortiigia we could not book our usual preferred hotel and I remembered a friend had stayed here and so we booked.
A converted Palazzo built around a courtyard it also houses, in a basement, what is probably the oldest Mikvah in Europe.
The rooms are large and airy, ours was a small suite with a living room, compleate with a stone fire place, and terrace with views across the rooftops to the sea.
Very clean and comfortable, the whole building oozes charm and history.
Two things to remember:
There are no lifts (stairs are quite steep) and the property cannot be approached by a car.
The nearest point to be reached is about a 50 meter walk.
Service is polite, friendly and with a smile and we will certainly return.

This is our 7th trip to Ortigia but our 1st stay here.

Good location & ambiance, but a long walk to room & many stairs to climb. Very good breakfast in nice dining room. We wanted 2 twin beds but got 1 double + 2 small cots. As one of us had an injury, it wasn't safe to stay in upstairs bedroom so was told the 2 cots below were daybeds. These turned out to be horribly lumpy without any support even to sit on. My friend suffered 2 miserable nights. The air conditioner did not work. Unable to connect wifi. Left phone charger & adapter in room, but when I contacted hotel was told it was not found. Receptionist not very friendly at check in.

Great location. Close to all. Charming units in quaint courtyard. Lovely breakfast. Convenient “valet” service to take care of your car. No place to park near property.

The service was outstanding, and the hotel rooms fine. All rooms have air conditioning, but it was in the main room not in the bedroom, which created some heating problems.
2.0
Location is excellent. Property is genuine, not fake. Ortigia is a wonderful location. Breakfast a bit limited in selection of foods.
1.5
Charming old building, good breakfast and a good walkable location. Very hard to find, AC problems, no tissues or soap, had to drag luggage up many steps - no elevator, shower is too small to move in, and only 2 inconveniently located electric outlets in the room. Also, the desk attendant was very rude at checkout and calling for our car so we could leave. Parking is a disaster.
2.5
This place was so clean and spacious! The views were amazing and walking distance to the centre as well as the sea, restaurants and many shops! A perfect place to stay at.

We booked months in advance to the be told 2 days before that they were overbooked and that they had moved us to a hotel close by, however when we looked it was cheaper than what we’d paid for. I spoke to the hotel and all of a sudden they had room for us in an apartment which was lovely. Restaurant staff in the morning were unfriendly and we had to ask for a table to be cleaned for us which appeared to be an inconvenience. Reception staff were busy on phones and we were a bit concerned that when we asked for our passports back they were just laid behind reception and we pointed to them and they were just handed to us without anyone even checking if they were actually ours. We’ve stayed in Ortigia before and wouldn’t go back to this place.

Artisan hotel, retaining all its period features with spacious, comfortable rooms . Lovely breakfast; 'squeeze' your own orange juice - a nice touch.Staff couldn't have been more helpful; will definitely return.
2.5
We loved this property for its original unspoilt, tasteful character and the spaciousness of our apartment. The excellent breakfasts included superb homemade Greek yogurt, Grandma’s orange jam, delicious Sicilian chocolate cake and ricotta biscuit rolls. The staff in the breakfast room were very helpfuf and friendly as were all the people on reception. The location is perfect; quiet and convenient to explore all areas of Ortigia.

The Allla Guidecca building is under construction, which takes away from it’s beauty. Room was comfortable, but no view. Breakfast was very nice.

The hotel is clean and in a nice/interesting section of Ortigia. The hotel itself has a nice look and feel. The room was spacious and clean but the beds (two put together to form a larger bed) are uncomfortable and the WiFi spotty. Free breakfast is fine (caffe, yogurt, fruit, eggs, juice, pastry, etc.) and the courtyard is very nice to have an apertivo (albeit a slightly overpriced one). All and all it’s perfectly fine but the next time we are in Ortigia we will look elsewhere as there a better hotels at this price point.

This is a beautiful hotel in a tastefully modernized medieval building. The staff were helpful, the room was lovely, and the breakfast was good. The location, right in the heart of Ortigia, is excellent.
2.0
The staff here was very helpful and helped us book a rental car. However they were also very busy. The room was comfortable and well furnished. The street was narrow so the only noise came from motorcycles. This section of the city was an easy walk to the main square and there were many shops and a promenade along the coast close by. The lobby was comfortable and houses many artifacts from the historic mikva in the structure. Breakfast was good.
1.5
The hotel is quaint and lovely. It is located in a great place. We lost our luggage for three days and they sent us a goodie package with champagne and limoncello. The only disappointment is the breakfast that doesn't have any warm items.
1.3
A fine facility in the historic Jewish Quarter of Siracusa. It has plenty of character, and each of the rooms is unique. We had the top floor attic room. Front desk and breakfast operation is a bit disorganized. The one downside is the difficulty of getting to the hotel if you are arriving by car. You have to park at the entrance to the island. We went to the parking lot we thought was allocated for hotel parking, but it turned out to be the short term lot and cost us one third the cost of the room per day. They need to be clearer about this.
2.5
This hotel in ideal for a stay of a few days in Ortigia. It is a clever modernisation of an ancient building. The rooms are big and comfortable, but not five star luxury. Very fair value.
The public rooms are truly beautiful.
2.5
I liked it. Staff was nice and helpful.. Breakfast was nice and simple. Don't go too late or you might have nothing left. Nice room with 2 bedrooms and a small lounge where we could have cooked. Not sure if all the room are like that but it will have been handy if we had stayed more than one night.
