Do not stay here . We went for 5 days - 2 days private and 3 days business . This is supposed luxury hotel . We had to change room because the first room was very smelly . The second room was the noisiest room we have ever stayed in and the aircon barely worked . Our friend tried 3... More

We stayed for one night only, our room was not very clean the bathroom had a horrible smell and the breakfast was not great either. On the plus side it has free parking and is in a good location. The front desk staff are really helpful. More

A pleasant stay. Staff were friendly, rooms if a bit dated were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great, good selection, one of the best we had in Sicily and the view from breakfast room was fab. A great location to explore the area with free parking opposite. Overall not very luxurious but very good value for money and staff were... More

Having spent nearly three weeks traveling in Sicily, we were very disappointed in the Grand Hotel Siracusa. While it had many of the trappings of a grand hotel, it fell short on most accounts. Lights didn't work (even after asking for repair), heating system was awry, promised internet reception in the room was available only in the lobby (making a... More

My husband and I stayed here for four nights in early November. We felt the room we were first shown was very claustrophobic and asked to be moved, as it was out of season this was no problem and we had a beautiful room on the 2nd floor overlooking the marina. The staff were warm, welcoming and extremely helpful throughout... More

Really disappointing. The room was very small and dark-- the window was so dirty that you couldn't see the "ocean view." The most surprising was the shower nozzle that was attached with pink duct tape. Manager seemed surprised when I brought it down to the front desk. He was apologetic and offered to switch rooms, but we were leaving in... More

This is an Italian Fawlty Towers. Having spent a week already in Sicily we were expecting another great hotel... We were so wrong. The staff welcome was hostile! The room was dirty and tired. There was no where to relax or sit in the hotel. It's like something out of the 80s and has seen much better days. The breakkfast... More

Stayed here for 3nights in July and what a disappointment. From a rude check in to terrible breakfast with very little choice. Rooms were very tired looking and dirty with it, and the hotel has zero outside space despite a good water front location. Only positive was the nice private beach, but paying for transport to it seems a little... More

My wife wished to give me a 70th birthday that I would remember! I certainly will. We spent a week at Grand Hotel Ortigia and every moment was a delight. The location in Syracusa is superb, and the hotel one of the most comfortable that you could wish to stay in. In particular the restuarant was superb, with a varied... More
