Top Syracuse Hotel Reviews

Hotel Parco delle Fontane

10/10 Excellent

"Please clarify the specific procedures or instructions for gaining access to the facility, particularly regarding the address displayed at the gate."

Grande Albergo Alfeo

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot in Siracusa and easy walk into Ortigia. The staff was friendly and Alessandro was a great help to us and answered our questions in English and Italian. Plus who can resist the refreshingly delicious free granita."

Grand Hotel Ortigia Siracusa

8/10 Good

"The private beach and the breakfast/terrace make this hotel 5*****. The hotel is badly in need of updating/renovating. Old stained carpets and stodgy furniture and curtains. They could definitely keep all the old world charm with a fresh look. However, the staff is incredible and keeps the hotel clean and comfortable despite it being outdated. We were very comfortable during our stay and were impressed by the service and friendliness of the staff. The private boat to the private beach club was phenomenal and because of this and the views from the terrace for breakfast and pre-dinner drinks would have me booking this stay again anytime I visit Ortigia. Thank you to all of the staff who made us feel welcome and well taken care of! We loved Ortigia and this hotel made it truly special with the amenities, waterfront location, and phenomenal service!"

Grand Hotel Villa Politi

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful luxury hotel albeit our rooms were a bit small compared to the others. (2 single occupancy rooms). Very clean well serviced. Like a trip back in time to the golden age of luxury. Would definitely return and highly recommend this hotel. Extremely excellent value for money."

Domus Mariae Albergo

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were informative, happily showing us great places to eat or catch the bus. The hotel was well maintained and provided excellent room service!"

Lanterne Magiche Ortigia Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The antique building is,AMAZING, It was before a film set or a musseum, The hotel is in front of a very particular beach, you need to stop there for a bath or for some pics. The bedroom was super huge , clean, beautiful view, the towells super soft. Bed very confortable. Lot of natural light the terrace is a plus, Breakfast place and atención very good"

Lanterne Magiche Ortigia

10/10 Excellent

"The property is as advertised. It’s in a quiet alley but near the Cathedral. The desk attendant was very helpful when my wife had to go to the hospital. Rooms are big and the kitchenette was a big plus!"

Maniace Boutique Hotel Ortigia UNA Esperienze

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean. Staff were so helpful in making reservations and accommodating preference. Amazing views. Great location. Staff made lovely comments and were friendly and hospitable."

VOI Arenella Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely, well maintained resort, with attractive grounds. There are 2 large pools which are very clean and offer shallow children's section alongside a deeper section. One of the pools is quieter and the other has loud music, we enjoyed using both of them. The staff are very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Being mainly English speakers, we didn't find it difficult to communicate with the staff at all. We went to the beach a couple of times, it is 600m away but the hotel has transport to take people which runs most of the day. We went to the evening shows most night but they are mostly in Italian so we struggled a bit, however, our 4 year old daughter still enjoyed dancing along and watching parts of it. The best part is the food! We had delicious pastas, pizza, fish, vegetables, fruit... the food is varied and fresh. Also delicious deserts. The food quality is really good. The drinks need to be improved - they are served mostly in small plastic cups which isn't ideal. To note - we were all inclusive and paid more for a Superior room which was definitely worth it as you get access to a more premium restaurant and you get reserved beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Overall it beat my expectations and we'd go again."
