Had a warm welcome from Maison Ortigia, and lots of help with parking and logistics. Very smooth experience to park in the old town with their help, easy check-in, nice clean room and fabulous location. Not a 5* hotel, but for a B&B a truly excellent experience. Thanks to the team for a lovely stay.

Unappealing building with small, creaky lift to 3rd floor Reception. We had booked a deluxe room with balcony with a view of adjacent historic buildings, but we were allocated a small, plain standard room with a grim view of a grimy small interior courtyard with barred windows opposite . Resulting complaint satisfactorily resolved by Expedia. Location was excellent- all historic sites were within a short distance, together with bars and restaurants. Breakfast adequate, with cold eggs and an unreliable coffee machine. A machine nearby Reception was available for 2 Euros dispensing water, beer and soft drinks. For those with a hire car, streets are very narrow and parking is very limited.

This is basically holiday apartments, rather than a Hotel. The location is convenient in the historic heart of the city (although driving/parking would be a nightmare), but the rooms are scattered around a fairly unappealing modern block with a particularly creaky lift giving access to the tine Reception on the 3rd floor. We had booked and paid for a Deluxe double room with balcony for 4 nights, but on arrival were told that no such rooms were available, which the Manager blamed on Expedia not passing on our request and payment. Our standard room was very basic, with a dreadful view of a grimy interior courtyard with a barred window opposite. The included breakfast was also basic with an unreliable coffee machine, but acceptable. A machine dispensing water, soft drinks and beers (2 Euros) is also available. In summary, "Maison Ortigia" scores on location, but little else, and its failure to honour our Deluxe room booking is now the subject of a formal complaint.

the location is fantastic however, be warned, there is no parking and if you manage to get a spot under ground it is 20Euro/day. The hotel room was big and the air conditioning made it cool. We had a kitchen and bathroom which were spacious. There was an awful smell on our floor which we commented on but weren't able to change rooms/floors.

Difficile de les contacter pour savoir comment accéder à l’hôtel et surtout au parking. Donc pour ne pas prendre le risque on a du laisser la voiture sur un autre parking payant. Le numéro de téléphone était erroné sur le site de hôtel.com ainsi que les prix des taxes! Assez énervant de venir visiter une ville juste une journée et de perdre 2 h pour accéder au hôtel. Finalement tout cela était du au Hotels.com ! L’hôtel est très bien situé, petit déjeuner ok

Al nostro arrivo siamo stati ricevuti da una gentilissima receptionist che ci ha assegnato la camera e spiegato tutti i servizi. La stanza era pulita e in ordine, unico (forse) neo il climatizzatore che non scaldava benissimo, ma per il resto l'ambiente era confortevole. Nel prezzo era compresa anche la prima colazione che viene servita al quarto piano, in una graziosissima saletta dove abbiamo trovato di tutto: dal dolce (spremute, yogurt, ciambellone, crostate, marmellate, Nutella, cornetti) al salato (affettati, formaggi e uova) e ovviamente caffè e cappuccini da preparare al momento. Struttura consigliata anche per l’ubicazione in quanto si trova in pieno centro e a pochi passi dal duomo e da tanti locali

Mi spiace ma da non ritornarci
Non sono abituato a fare recensioni negative ma questa volta davvero lo merita : ritardo nel check in di 20 minuti, non c'era nessuno nonostante avessi avvisato un'ora prima; tapparella del bagno che non saliva (riparata ma controllare prima no?) finestra del bagno senza tenda (obbligati a tenere la tapparella abbassata per ovvi motivi di privacy) ; porta finestra della camera che dava direttamente sul solaio del piano di sotto senza nessuna protezione per eventuali cadute ( ci sono circa 80-90 cm dalla camera al solaio). La signorina alla reception alle ns segnalazioni ha detto che purtroppo non sapeva cosa fare.... Era così da quando hanno rifatto il solaio!!!!! CAMERA 3 - 1 PIANO. HO LE FOTO DISPONIBILI MA NON SI RIESCONO A CARICARE Posizione spettacolare e Ortigia meravigliosa!!!

B&B situato in zona traffico limitato accessibile solo previa comunicazione della targa alla struttura ma pur avendo telefonato per annunciare il nostro arrivo nessuno ci ha avvisato della possibilità. La stanza assegnataci non corrispondeva a quanto prenotato (camera deluxe): era una stanza vecchia e buia anche perchè la tapparella non rimaneva alzata, essendo rotta continuava a cedere. Il box doccia era talmente piccolo che solo una persona estremamente magra poteva entrarci e comunque non si riusciva a chiudere il box tanto erano limitati gli spazi. La colazione poi era costituita da cibi confezionati e da un cappuccino che non si poteva nemmeno definire tale.

Mi dispiace che non abbia trovato nulla di positivo. Non posso rispondere , nè difendermi dato che è rimasto anonimo e non ha specificato la camera in cui avrebbbe soggiornato. Infine, il parcheggio sotto la struttura, non è una nota negativa in un centro storico ma un servizio, servizio che come ha scritto, proponiamo ad un prezzo modico, lo stesso che il comune fa pagare al parcheggio turistico.

Lage Super Zimmer sauber aber in die Jahre gekommen. Türgriffe sollte befestigt werden. Nicht gefallen,das beim Empfang man uns 10 Euro fürs Frühstück noch extra haben wollte. Erst nach Reklamation ging auf einmal. Kann kein Versehen gewesen sein. Trübte die gute Stimmung. Schlecht mit Auto erreichbar und lange Wege zu einer Parkmöglichkeit. Sonst super Stadt Super Architektur Super letzter Abend auf Sizilien.

Pyszna kawa, świeże rogaliki i przemiła obsługa. Czyściutkie pokoje i okolica po której można bezpiecznie spacerować nawet późnym wieczorem.
