Falmet skønhed!
Hotellet lever bestemt ikke op til sine 3 stjerner. Det er nedslidt - balkonen er f.eks. livsfarlig, der er ikke TV eller WiFi på værelset, morgenmad serveres på en café i nærheden, receptionens engelskkundskaber fraværende, rengøringen under al kritik og servicen generelt ringe... Men kan man leve med det, er hotellet meget charmerende og beliggenheden perfekt (undtaget parkeringsforholdene).

This hotel has seen better days
The hotel is placed in what clearly used to be a beautiful building but is now deteriorated. We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and there was no one in the hotel, we had to wait in the street for around 20 minutes till the lady in charge arrived. Although she gave us a map and gave us useful tips related to things we could visit, she did it in a hurry, like she had other things to do even though we were the only guests there at the moment. It rained that morning, and some water and dirt entered our room through the windows, no one bothered to clean that up before we arrived. Fortunately, the next day the room was properly cleaned after we came back. Wi fi connection was very poor.

Ehemals schönes Hotel mit zwar hilfsbereitem Perso
Unsere Buchung war beim Eintreffen nicht auffindbar und wir hatten kein Zimmer. Als ich darauf bestanden habe, wurde dann eine Lösung gefunden. Bei der Abreise sollte ich dann die drei Tage bezahlen, obwohl ich über Expedia schon gezahlt hatte. Erst lange Anrufe bei Expedia konnten die Sitation dann klären. Das 1. Geschoss des Hotels ist sehr schön, aber schon sehr mitgenommen. Unser Zimmer hatte eine fantastische Aussicht, die Ausstattung war eher notbehelfsmässig. Ein SEHR kleines Frühstück gab es in einem 5 Minuten Laufweg entfernten Touristencafe, das sehr saftige Preise hat wenn man mehr möchte als eine Speise + ein Getränk (was nicht sehr schwer ist...). Das Personal ist freundlich spricht aber so gut wie kein Englisch. Es ist uns völlig unverständlich wie man bei so einer schönen Lage und viel Potential ein Hotel so kaputt gehen lassen kann.

Sehr schöne Lage und freundliches Personal
Der Blick vom Zimmer auf das Meer ist wunderbar. Der Stadtstrand ist zu Fuß in gut fünf Minuten zu erreichen, direkt gegenüber liegt die Bushaltestelle (leise Elektrobusse), falls man mal auf das Festland möchte. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und gibt nützliche Tips zu Restaurants abseits der Touristenwege (z.B. das Benvenuti al Sud).

Hôtel à oublier
très déçu... Incroyable que cet hôtel soit classé 3 étoiles... Très vétuste et sale, aucun sens du service client, chambre très chère (env 95€) pour un confort inexistant, c'est à croire que le classement 3 étoiles remonte au 19ème siècle !

Good location poor sanitation
Great location and view of the water in this old hotel with poor plumbing (used toilet paper cannot be flushed and is put in a small garbage can beside the toilet). Breakfast (1 croissant and 1 coffee) served in bistro around the corner from the hotel. Staff didn't know name of bistro (Anglo Snack). Reception staff (owner?) sitting in a darkened area behind a high counter in the front area of this first floor walk up was not a welcoming sight.

Poor provincial hotel
Had booked and paid for 3 rooms but reception staff attempted to reduce this to 2 for no valid reason. Car parking for whole of island is restricted to residents for whole of 24 hours. They did have 2 places immediately outside the hotel which were used by members of staff. There were no catering faciliities of any kind. Breakfasts, a croissant and a cup of coffee were available at a cafe half a mile away from the hotel. Orange juice etc were available at extra cost. No drinking glasses were provided. As 3 star hotel facilities were poor to non existant

Bra läge!
De hade slarvat bort vår boxning och försökte få oss att betala mer för ett större rum, men till slut löste det sig. Fick ett jättestort rum till samma pris. Frukost äter man på ett café nere vid torget. I övrigt väldigt charmigt på ön Ortyga som är en del av Syrakusa!

hotel "cosi cosi" in un posto bello e di interesse
la nostra camera vista mare era grande e confortevole pulizia appena sufficiente. con il pass che ci ha dato la direzione abbiamo risolto il problema del parcheggio.Il resto della positività sta nella città di Ortigia che è straordinaria sotto il profilo storico culturale.A pochi km il mare è molto bello.Il mio giudizio complessivo è positivo e non sono d'accordo con alcune recensioni dell'hotel che viene descritto peggio di un mostro anche se riconosco che un po di volontà e disponibilita in più renderebbe il giudizio solo positivo

God beliggenhed
Et gammelt og slidt hotel, hvor rengøringen ikke er i centrum. Dog var sengetøj og håndklæder rene og fine, men lidt støv og nullermænd var at finde. Badeværelse tilkalket og nusset at se på, men ikke decideret beskidt. Til gengæld oser hotellet af charme - sådan som jeg kan lide det - ved at være "skævt" og langt fra standard. Med adskillige meter til loftet og en lille balkon med udsigt over Middelhavet så er jeg solgt. Der er meget støj fra gaden, hvis man sover med åben dør. Parkeringsplads svær at finde - vær forberedt på, at det kan tage lidt tid.

Deludente
Merita al massimo una stella. A parte la veduta panoramica eccellente , il resto è stata una delusione continua. Innanzitutto al 1° piano con 34 gradini da affrontare e senza un aiuto per portare i bagagli ( a 77 anni pesano molto), Camera spaziosa , luminosa , biancheria ottima ma il bagno lasciava a desiderare . Per la notte non esiste personale , Ti consegnano le chiavi e ti arrangi per l' entrata oltre le ore nove. Al mattino per la colazione un tagliando da presentare al bar Centrale, a 200 metri di distanza, nella piazza principale di Ortigia, Prezzo abnorme per i servizi, pochissimi, forniti. Mai più. Ho pernottato con mia moglie , figlia e nipotino il 18 giugno.

Great location
Despite booking the night before, when we arrived they told us the hotel was full so were offered a couple of rooms that weren't in use at that point. Picked a large, sea-facing room on the top floor with no en-suite and what turned out to be non-operational air-con. However, the price was consequently reduced from the original booking. The bathroom was in need of some TLC (lots of hot water though) but we survived quite happily without air-con despite the hot weather. The staff were great, didn't try the breakfast at the cafe down the road but the shop on the corner near the front door was great. It is a grand old Palazzo, in need of money spending on it but I thought it was a great place to stay for the price. I'd go back there if I was to stay in Ortigia again but stay in one of the best rooms.

ampiamente deludente
l'unica cosa positiva è la posizione accanto al lungomare di Ortigia, ma l'hotel è fatiscente, con camere squallide, pavimento che vibra, letto scomodo, bagno con un vetro rotto. All'arrivo hanno cercato di appiopparci una camera con una porta a vetri satinati, che io ho rifiutato tassativamente. Colazione (brioche e cappuccino) a 300 metri presso un bar convenzionato. Rapporto qualità prezzo decisamente sfavorevole

Bello ma ... deludente!
Posizione: ottima; immobile: non manutenuto; camera: bella ma da tempo non si investe più nel tenere adeguati ed efficienti gli accessori soprattutto del bagno; Ma, il più grave è la promessa di colazione a buffet che si traduce in pratica in buoni per una consumazione in un bar in piazza Archimede con una bevanda e pasta! Peccato: ci sarebbero tutti gli ingredienti per un'ottima sistemazione che, per mancanza di entusiasmo e di investimenti, la si sta lasciando decadere!

Hôtel très bien situé mais vetuste
Il n'y a pas de parking (seulement deux places à partager avec les riverains!), il n'a pas de Wi-Fi dans les chambres. La notre était vétuste et la salle de bain limite insalubre.Le petit déjeuner se prend dans un bar à 500 mètres de la chambre. En point positif l'hôtel est très bien situé. Ce n'est pas un bon rapport qualité/prix.

Unbeschreiblich schmutzige zimmer
Wir kamen in den teilweise gar nicht spaßigen genuß zwei zimmer zu beziehen. Es handelt sich um zi nr 13 und nr15. Wir hatten dreibettzimmer gebucht wurden die erste nacht aber in ein winziges doppelzimmer gequetscht, sowas gibt es selten. Das bett war unterirdisch schlecht. Man hatte mühe nicht vom rand aus zusammen zu rutschen in die mitte, so durchgelegen war es. Noch schlimmer war der zustand v diesem zi 15. Unbeschreiblicher dreck wohin das auge blickte. Am boden kullerten die staubhexen durcs zimmer. Die vorhänge staubten bei der kleinsten berührung und im bad grauste es einem richtig. Die innenwände der dusche waren schmierig von rückständen die ränder der duschkabine schwarzbraun vor dreck. Der handtuchhalter war an unbenutzen stellen an der seite bchstäblich schwarz vor staub. Der schrank im zimmer ist unbenutzbar. Die innere rückwand auf gut 50 cm verschimmelt. Schimmel auch über dem schrank an der wand und in großen teilen an der wand gegenüber, nur optisch kaschiert durch einen scheinbar dicken anstrich. Bei licht sah man allerdings diese schimmligen stellen. Am nächsten tag bekamen wir unser gebuchtes dreibettzimmer. Es ist die nr 13. Dieses ist ein geräumiges eckzimmer, scheinbar ohne schimmel. Auch hier wieder die staubhexen am boden und die verschmierten innenwände der dusche, was uns aber wie im.paradies vorkam im gegensatz zu zi nr 15. Zum frühstück muß man in eine bar im ort gehen u bekommt ein getränk u ein gebäckstück. Thats all, kein gebuchtes buffet
