Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Grand Hotel Ortigia, with its classic style reflecting its late 1800s origins, places you in a perfect location to explore Ortigia on foot, with easy access to historical sites. Guests particularly appreciate the breakfast, featuring a variety of options and a lovely view from the balcony overlooking the harbour. While some guests have mentioned occasional noise from the air conditioning, the convenience of parking directly across the street is frequently highlighted as a major plus.

convenient parking helpful staff marina view
I found the parking very convenient as it was right across the street. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout my stay, AMAZING!!! The rooftop bar and restaurant provided excellent service. I especially enjoyed the marina view, it was great.
The air conditioning was not working properly upon arrival. I didn't get restful sleep. The hotel didn't notify us until we inquired about switching it on! Ventilation was poor during the entire stay, made the room very uncomfortable.

The hotel provides bottled water daily. The staff was very helpful. The location is good. I loved breakfast with a view of the ocean (I thought that was lovely).
The room I was given was not the one I had booked. I booked a simple room, one floor, with a large bed. I was given a duplex, with the bed upstairs in a small loft and the luggage having to stay downstairs. The hotel does not have a gym.
