Loved by Grand Hotel Ortigia guests
"We loved the rooftop breakfast, happy hour and dinner! There was live music too that was truly amazing at sunset!"
"This hotel has dedicated parking, with a barrier, opposite the hotel and this is essential on Ortigia as parking is residents only or very expensive."
"Great rooftop restaurant and bar with a great 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.
