Will return to Siracusa and stay there, again.
Very centrally located, surrounded by bodies of water, great restaurants, outdoor markets, and walking distance to Ortigia, the historical center. Very clean, comfortable, and gracious hosts. Parking is easy, on the streets, very nearby.

The property is well located and it is just a few blocks to the popular shopping and restaurants. There is a coffee shop within 1 block and I was able to walk to the various sites of interest within 15 min. It was quiet and safe. My room was darling! Staff was lovely.

Great value for $, good location, recommend it!
The hotel is about a 10-15min walk to the Old Town (Ortiga) and about 20min walk to the Archaeological Park. Service was impeccably friendly and very responsive; my wifi had issues and they promptly reset the router which fixed the issue immediately. The room was big and had the relevant amenities. Shower was a bit old but clean. There are breakfast boxes available if you need to check out earlier. Great value for money!!

Very nice
We had a large, clean room. The staff was consistently helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. For those arriving by train or bus, it is an easy, under-10-minute walk away, and it is another easy, under-10-minute walk to Ortigia (and just a bit more than ten minutes back up to the archeological sites.

Great location 5-10 minute walk to Ortagia and train station. 25 minute walk to Archeological Park. Hotel was a complete surprise with a couple of terraces to sit out on, courtyard style. On the main road but rooms at back of hotel so very quiet. Continental breakfast with plenty of choice.

Clean, safe hotel in central location
Nice couple who runs the B&B Hotel in a central location in town. There are restaurants in the main shopping street a few steps away and it's a10/15minute walk to the old town center. On and off with the car is ok and a municipal parking is available for overnight parking, 5 minutes walk from the hotel.

Nice hotel close to Ortigia.
A family house converted to small hotel about 20 years ago. High decorated ceilings in the house, bedrooms are in a newer wing. Very clean all through, very friendly staff especially Annaliese(?), very helpful all round. Hotel in on the main road towards the island of Ortigia, about 400 metres away which is the old part of the city full of narrow street and alleys with dozens of cafes and restaurants and the usual gift/souvenir shops. Everybody enjoying themselves and no-one pushy which was nice. Great city and excellent hotel in just the right location.

Budget hotel close to centre
A good budget hotel that provides a sound overnight experience but no more. The only peculiarity was breakfast started at 8 because that was when the staff arrived back at work which meant no one was at the desk earlier than 8. I had to leave the key in the room when I left before 8. The main door was also shut at 8 in the evening although you could let yourself back into the hotel with a key. But I liked the fact that unlike a lot of these small budget hotels, Piccolo had a courtyard where you could relax on sofas rather than have to sit in your room if you didn't want to go out every night. Staff OK, and breakfast the usual passable fare you always get from this type of budget hotel.

A nice old hotel central to all the sights and restaurants with a cheap (€5), delicious breakfast. You can relax in the cooler central courtyard. My only critiscism is that it is difficult to find a free parking spot close to the hotel, otherwise it's a great place to stay.

Lacking acoustic separation
Siracusa is a very popular town for tourists so you're not going to get the same value for money here as elsewhere. The hotel is well located just 5 minutes outside the old island. Unfortunately, there's no acoustic separation between rooms beyond the plaster board. I could hear furniture moving, footsteps, toilets flushing, etc. The room was a little dated, especially the bathroom.

did the job
Stayed in June 2016. Location is good near the centre, the look of the hotel is fine, it was clean and did the job for the night but nothing else: The plumbing in the toilet needs some work, the pipes rattled like an old truck exhaust pipe every time upon flushing, I bet the neighbours weren't amused either. Also, at the time of my stay there was some painting going on and the smell of paint and dissolvent in the corridor was heavy, almost inebriating in a hot summer day. Finally, the rooms could do with a simple mosquito net fitted on the windows.

Great location with everything in walking distance
Ortigia is lovely to walk, lots of twisting narrow streets with little Café bars and Trattatoria. The famous Puppet theatre is among the lanes and is great fun, book a show. Everyone seems friendly and lots of people have some English. There's a great food market and public transport is easy to use. Bus and Rail terminal is ten minutes walk from the hotel. A trip the the Catacomba di Santa Lucia was easy and interesting with a quided tour. The Parc Arciological was a waste of 10 euros (each) the Greek theatre being converted into a modern theatre with lighting banks, modern staging and the original seating covered with temporary wooden seats. The Tomb of Archimedes was inaccessible as was much of the site. You couldn't really wonder about. Great boat trip across the bay and round the caves.

Halfway House
In one direction the archaeological park (magnificent), museum and Catacombe di San Giovanni (impressive in scale) are within walking distance (if fit) - just head for the wig-wam (the modern cathedral which is visible for at least 20 miles) whilst in the other direction and slightly closer is Ortegia, the historic centre of Siracusa. The local electric buses are an alternative transport bus No 2 for the archaeological park area and if in Ortegia bus no. 1 to return to the hotel Both routes are circular. The hotel is less than 500m from the Catania and Catania airport bus terminus and the train station is a similar distance away.

Off season
The building's bones are pretty, but it didn't look like it's being maintained to an appropriate degree. It could be due to it being off-season and management priorities being elsewhere. Sewer gases from the shower drain in our room were noxious.

Great location, friendly service, value for money
A pleasant little hotel 10min walk away from the railway/bus station and a 10min walk to Ortigia/old town. Friendly service, clean basic rooms, high ceilings. No tea facilities, no fridge or minibar in the room. Small terrace with a few tables for you to use. Wifi connection was patchy at times (thick walls!) but generally worked. Breakfast isnt fancy with little choice but always fresh bread, a couple of cakes, croissants so value for money, good coffee and friendly service. There is a pleasant cafe, Angelina's bakery, 5min walk away on the same street in Ortigia's direction. Overall, a nice place to stay in a convenient location and for reasonable money!

Close to ortiglia- everything is walkable!
Great location! The hotel room is fairly standard - it was clean and had everything you'd expect. You can walk to Ortigia and the archeological park from here, which is great, as the city bus doesn't run on a consistent schedule (we heard from other tourists). We also walked to the train station to head out of town. Overall, the hotel is standard, but you can't beat the location.

Flawless B&B in the hart of Siracusa
The property is a delightful B&B in the hart of Siracusa. The building has a lot of character and the rooms are very clean and quiet. The owner, who speaks good English, was very helpful and kind. The property is walking distance from all major attractions of Siracusa. Two blocks from the hotel there is a laundrymat where, for a very reasonable price, one can get clothes washed and folded. All together, our stay was excellent and we recommend this property without any reservation.

Lovely little hotel in good location
Lovely little hotel very conveniently located on the (attractive) road between the train/bus stations and Ortygia, with a nice short walk onto Orytgia itself. Pleasant staff, absolutely nothing to fault. Even a couple of very good restaurants nearby offering excellent food at cheaper prices than Orytygia.

Excellent value for money
Stayed in Standard Double room. Bed was actually Queen size by Australian standards. Plenty of room for two. Bathroom facilities were fine. Only downside was we had 30deg days and the AC did not cope. Breakfast had good menu range. Good WiFi signal. Staff were helpful. Several pleasant outside sitting areas. Great location for walking around old city of Ortygia. To get there on public transport it's an easy 10 minute walk from bus terminus or central train station. Overall we thought this was excellent value for money.

Simple but charming bed and breakfast
Piccolo Hotel Casa Mia met all our needs perfectly: perfectly located within walking distance of the station and major sights, it is an attractive, family-run bed and breakfast on an elegant avenue. Our room was spacious, light, and very comfortable, breakfast was served in a lovely, high-ceilinged room overlooking the main street and there were also nice communal areas including an internal courtyard and terrace. Given how close this place is to Ortygia, the prices are extremely reasonable and we loved our stay.

The hotel is charming. It is a beautiful old building and has lots of character. It is well situated to be able to walk to the roman and greek ruins and also to Ortygia. The room was spotless - although the fittings in the bathroom are a little tired (which does not detract from the overall experience) and the owners were very helpful and charming. We would happily stay here again.
