Siracusa hotels near Piazza Archimede

Pros: Lovely interior and great location, welcoming and very helpful staff

Cons: The bed was hard!

Cons: Room a little bit old fashion and small. Ideal for a very short stay.

Pros: Central to everything

Pros: It was poetic, harmonious, comfortable and the staff were super helpful and polite.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location

Cons: There was no lift to go to our room.

Pros: Room was comfortable & clean. Property was safe!! Staff was amazing, friendly & efficient. Great faculty & location!! I highly recommend!!!

Cons: Truly nothing!!! It was perfect!!!

Pros: A lovely hotel in an excellent location and very helpful and welcoming staff. It is in Piazza Duomo, a beautiful square in this historic zone. You can sit there and sio a glass of wine while watching the world go by. I wiill certainly return.

Pros: Best location in Ortigia....

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing hotel! Clean and spacious rooms, elegant decor, AMAZING breakfast spread, and to top it off the staff were exceptional. The restaurant was also a highlight - we had the most delicious meal there on our last night. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to experience Siracuse in style.

Cons: Not much to fault, except for a stronger aircon in the rooms. It was so so hot when we went in August. There isn't a pool at the property and during the middle of summer, it gets unbearably hot in the afternoons so a dip in the pool would have made the world of difference!

Pros: Amazing location just off the main square in Ortigia, perfect to walk everywhere. Lovely terrace for breakfast which was delicious. Front of house staff very friendly and helpful

Cons: Space is tight driving through the old town to this hotel. Best to avoid the valet parking if you have a big car

Pros: The pool was nice- clean and the service at the pool bar was very friendly.

Cons: The location wasn't great. Very ugly part of town and big noisy street. Also my friend and i both had a treatment at the spa ( facial and mani-pedi) which was pretty bad.

Pros: It was a beautiful, clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were a good size and more than ample space for the family room as well. The pool was very clean and well maintained and had a nice views of the city and the sea in the distance. It was a brisk 20 minute walk to Ortygia Island, where there was an array of local eateries and a lovely walk by the marina and sea for swimming. The food and cocktails were good at the hotel, though the portion sizes for lunch and dinner on the smaller side. Breakfast was a good array of choices including a cooked breakfast, fresh croissants, fruit and yoghurt - it was a good start to the day and friendly staff to also greet us in the mornings. We got the Interbus from Catania Airport which was about an hour transfer to a stop near the hotel for about 5.70 euros each way and a comfortable and cost effective journey. We’d definitely stay at the hotel again should we visit Sicily in the future.

Cons: If anything just the portion sizes for lunch and dinner - though the food itself was good.

Pros: Breakfast was good. Location was a little bit far to access Ortigia but we managed.

Pros: Loved the reception staff and the pool

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast was okay, not as good as in other hotels I have stayed at in the same chain. Rooms were comfortable and staff were very helpful.

Cons: A little far from Ortygia Island. Pool was small and there was a significant amount of noise from pool and restaurant area in rooms of the 5th floor.

Pros: All was excellent!

Cons: Nothing in my eyes

Pros: Clean, well run, efficient hotel. Knowledgable and helpful staff. The best of the multiple hotels we stayed at in Sicily. Facilities were good. Location was good, although a little frustrating to rely on the electric minibus with no known schedule but this can be fixed with a €10 taxi to Ortigia and a short walk (30 minutes) home.

Cons: Unfortunately rooms were compact and no real outdoor space for hanging beach towels etc.

Pros: Very modern, so very clean and with good wifi, aircon, etc

Cons: Not a place for old-world charm. A bit far from attractions, and a bit on the pricy side.

Pros: Very comfortable rooms and the hotel was well maintained

Cons: Breakfast a little disappointing

Pros: Bed was comfy not extra comfy

Cons: Hidden charges

Pros: The private beach is nice and the staff was helpful

Cons: The breakfast is industrial, nothing is fresh, it's cheap supermarket products. We changed rooms 3 times because something wasn't working. We saw many ants in one of the rooms. This hotel should loose 2 stars out of 5 or change management ASAP.

Pros: Breakfast was superb so much improved since our last visit. The location is excellent.

Cons: Our room was dark and uninviting. As we have stayed before and always had a room overlooking the marina it was a big disappointment.

Pros: Good location Friendly staff Flexible corespondent for our request

Cons: Elevator

Pros: Cleanliness, breakfast included was fantastic The location, the beach, just to name a few

Cons: Some of the staff not very friendly Could be a bit more accommodating

Pros: The location The staff The facilities

Cons: The bar closing at 7pm Insufficient attention to room access from reception staff resulting in uninvited and unexpected visitor with key to our room

Pros: Ortigia overLl was very enjoyable

Pros: Location of hotel is excellent

Cons: Suite was NOT the room pictured, far, far smaller. Private beach is OK but what they don't tell you is it's on a different island and takes 20 m on a boat to get there - AND they charge €30 per DAY to use it. Also not private - public on beach either side of hotel section. Aircon is NOT adjustable - hotel decides what is 'fine' and I don't want to sleep in 20° plus because it saves the hotel money. 50% of staff nice other 50% very rude

Pros: That it was a great location and staff were very helpful

Pros: Quality , lovely staff , perfect location, parking.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: That it was very central and near the marina

Cons: It would have been nice to have air conditioning in the restaurant

Pros: Gorgeous pool- which was a consolation for beach club not being open. Staff friendly and rooms clean.

Cons: The beach club was closed - we stayed Sept 20-23- specifically wanted to swim in the sea. Terribly disappointed to be staring at Mediterranean and not have beach access.

Pros: We liked that the hotel was a traditional elegant Italian hotel with a fantastic driveway, front double entrance staircase, lovely traditional veranda, wooden lobby staircase and fantastic high ceiling dining room. It felt like we were back in the 1800's with all the elegance and luxury of that era. The staff were so friendly, helpful and polite and couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast and evening meals were fabulous. The pool and area were lovely and relaxing and the grounds surrounded by the Latamoie dei Cappuccini were wonderful. The hotel position is good, with excellent views and it was great that it is near to all the archaeological sites and close enough to Ortigia too - we loved the walks to and from these sites. We loved it.

Pros: Great place to relax after excursions to the Greek Theatre, Siracusa old town and Ragusa. Excellent swimming pool. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Free parking with sufficient space.

Cons: Breakfast not quite up to our expectations: no fruit salad, limited choice of yogurt. Would have been great if the hotel has a shuttle-bus to the town centre. We waited for 30 minutes for the "Hop on, hop off" bus only to find it was full, so we had to take a taxi (to avoid driving into the city).

Pros: Location, the pool and the outside looking of the hotel

Cons: Room the worst I ever stayed in my life. Terrible Smell of dump Bed sheets wet Pillows wet I have a bad cough due to the dump of the room I complained at the reception and the staff did not care about my complaint They took full payment and also they charged me the bottle of water (they could have done a little gesture) The receptionist thank me for let her know about the horrible dump room and would tell the management but I replied to her that I did not care , as it was their problem and the way they treated me it was so unprofessional I would not recommend this place to anyone Bed was with wheel and moves

Pros: From the facade hotel looks majestically and with a historical savor but the internal interior reminding me some old-fashioned ladies' toilet room from the Tsar's times, with a museum "quality" of repairmen. The breakfast was OK, nothing special. There were no beach around, and you have to walk 10 minutes to the sea.. But hotel is trying to convince us that there is a private beach there, but the hotel aren't own it. And do you think you can go there for free if you are the guest of the hotel? No way. We've been told that we have to pay 25 euro (!!!) per person to enter this beach and 4 euro more for each towel we take! Can you imagine?! With the price of nearly 140 euro for one day of the stay, paying more 58 euro per day for us two to go to the beach is simply a robbery!

Cons: The hotel is very old and as we say about something like this, it "smells of mothballs". The staff at the reception were not helpful at all. When we arrived they tried to fit us into the most farthest old stuffy room in the corridor at the first floor, somehow reminiscent of a dull cave, with the view from the window to the stairs and the wall (and this is for 137 euro per one night!!) which was horrible. I was trying to ask the woman on the reception to change the room of the same type (classic room) to the same type but on the third floor, where the atmosphere were much lighter and prettier, and the view for sure must be much nicer. I got a refusal because she said there some families were about to come soon, and they want to get some rooms just near each other on the third floor, so she cannot separate those people, taking one of this rooms for me and changing it for what I had at the moment. She worried about those people that has to come, but she had absolutely no interest for me who already was there with a spoiled vacation with this horrible dark hollow with the view on the stairs and wall. Of course we didn't stay there for 3 days as we planned from the beginning. They was trying to force us to pay all the days right away in advance but we refused after long arguing. In any case those hotel's staff seemed to look like extortionists who don't give a sh*t of my conditions of living, only what they were interested in were my payment.

Pros: Classical hotel

Pros: Great, classical style hotel - plenty to see and do around. Was quite at night to sleep. Nice outdoor pool and bar area. Lovely stay.

Cons: The bar is a lovely space but could have more atmosphere with lighting etc

Pros: This is a very traditional hotel with a good deal of history which is interesting in itself. The restaurant was good and informal. Breakfast was terrific with a wide range of choice including perhaps the most delicious chocolate croissants ever! Our room was very comfortable with efficient air-conditioning which was needed due to the very hot and humid weather during our stay. Should we return to Siracusa we would definitely stay here again

Cons: Our only criticism would be about something seemingly common to all Sicilian hotel rooms and that is they all have very few power points. To its credit though, Villa Politi DID have a USB charging point.

Pros: Grand old hotel

Cons: Food was just Ok for price and value

Pros: Your staff were exceptional! Ewa and Paula could not have looked after us any better so a huge thank you from Jon and Rosie

Cons: The decor was a bit tired and could do with painting in the outside

Pros: Location is great - you turn the corner uphill and beautiful piazza and great dining options are steps away.

Cons: This hotel isn't deserving of it's five star status. Yes, it has great bones and it has a wonderful location but it needs updating - while renovations can be costly - takes basic maintenance and pride for 5 stars to have clean walls in the room and Clorox for the mildew in the bathroom. Staff was nice but poorly trained.
