Nice grand old hotel, but up to date with friendly staff

We loved our 2-night stay at the Grand Hotel Villa Politi in Syracuse! The property is very historic, having been established in 1862, and it is literally built adjacent to one of the archeological sites that Syracuse is known for. The staff was so welcoming and helpful, the Winston Churchill Bar was charming (and they have a daily happy hour with complimentary appetizers), and the breakfast buffet offered a nice variety of choices. There's a large, very well-maintained outdoor pool and deck area, which was a highlight of my visit. The room was very comfortable and well appointed in terms of linens, a refrigerator/mini bar, plenty of electrical outlets, and a functional window. I wish there had been conditioner in the shower, along with shampoo and body wash, but other than that, our stay was excellent.

A big, venerable classic hotel, this. The reception area oozes class, with a red carpet in the main staircase to first floor. The rooms show signs of age, though. Some mechanical parts are rather worn, and the shower head had no holder. Also, the wifi was rather temperamental; it was much better near the reception, so that’s where I went to do some work. The cleanliness was great, though, and there was a massive balcony to enjoy. The breakfast was good also, it took place in a massive hall on the ground floor, and the pool area was great. Half an hour’s walk to Ortigia island, but I became an ardent user of the widely available Elerent electrical scooters, so no big problem. Would come back in a heartbeat.

We did have a very big room but the air conditioning made us quite sick each night. We ended up having to open the windows, which in August is quite hot.
The pool was large and plenty of room and the included breakfast was very good.
The location is about 2km from the island of Otigia, which isn’t a difficult walk down but a very sweaty one coming back.

An old elegant hotel with great service and a modern pool complex. Breakfast was heavy on pastries and sweets, not my taste but some prefer that. Location is too far to walk to the old city but makes up for that with a nice pool. A nice addition in the heat of July. I would stay again. Free and easy parking as well if you have a car.

This hotel was lovely we were delighted with our room 102 fabulous with 2 balconies, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, was a real treat.
Only downside is its a good 20min walk to old town and 20 Euros taxi back at night. We felt the hotel was worth the walk as pool area was great

Terrible hotel in every respect. Very stingy with everything from sheets to pillows to anything that would make a stay acceptable. No complimentary anything. Coffee was terrible. Breakfast disgusting. Yet they claim 4 stars. It is a one to two star hotel at best. Oh and they charge for pool towels.

Very nice hotel, but no food between breakfast and dinner and no beverages after breakfast before the bar opens at 16:00. At least beverages should be available for pool guest.
Cool location, but car is advisable.

A small over-priced room overlooking car park and rubbish bins. Inconvenient facilities in room, inadequate storage space. Reception staff not very helpful.

Loved the grandeur of this hotel, particularly the public rooms. The air conditioning in our bedroom didn't seem to do a lot unfortunately, but the room was clean and the buffet breakfast had a good choice of food and drinks. The pool wasn't available when we stayed as they were having building work done in readiness for high season, but it looked like it will be a lovely area when complete. We would stay there again!

It is a lovely property with a nice amount of history.
The staff were fairly arrogant and seemed to feel that we were lucky to be able to stay there. We asked for a simple kettle so we could make a morning cup of tea (we were surprised that the rooms don't have kettles) and the response at reception was one of shock; we could come downstairs and buy cups of tea. We were made to feel that we had asked a very inappropriate question!

An oasis of tranquility in Siracusa. Nice and forthcoming staff. Nice rooms with plenty of space. Can’t wait to come back in summer.
