The hotel is fairly good, and opposite the sea, so you get a great view from the top floor. It also has a nice roof terrace, where you can hang out and watch the sea. The breakfast is good quality, although the old lady who hangs around (possible owners mother) is slightly weird! The rooms are minimalist, but perfectly clean... more

Siracusa is an amazing town, again we only spent one night there, but it’s lovely. We stayed at the Hotel Gutkowski, which was described in my Lonely Planet as the ‘Coolest hotel in Sicily’ or something to that effect. I really don’t want to slate the place, but actually, it’s ok for a B&B. Fair enough we had the last... more

Great little spot to explore the city. Rooms are bright and clean but request sea view if possible.Lovely breakfast next door. Staff could not have been more helpful! Would stay again. more

Booked this hotel based on tripadvisor reviews and a friends experience. We thought this was a family run hotel, but it seems to have changed hands as staff seemed uninterested, and no family atmosphere -- staff sent us to a restaurant twice which no longer exists. We were located in annex, which was ok but bare minimum in room, and... more

We stayed here for 1 night during a two-week trip in Italy and were pleasantly surprised by the boutique-hotel feeling and crisp, clean rooms. The hotel is situated on the waterfront in a great location for exploring Ortygia. Our room had a wonderful view of the water. The room was on the small side, but still manageable, and the bathroom... more

We spent two weeks travelling across Sicily on our honeymoon and fell in love with the Hotel Gutkowski. It's rooms are simply furnished, squeaky clean, and our room had a fabulous view of the sea. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in Ortiga, the old town of Siricusa, and the hotel is close... more

We just spent two glorious weeks in Sicily and the Hotel Gutkowski was the worst hotel we stayed in anywhere on the island. I booked this hotel for two nights over three months in advance of our arrival and requested a room with a view of the harbor. I was told they could not promise that, since everyone asks for... more

We arrived at the Hotel Gutkowski after a long day of driving in Sicily. While the welcome was warm, the room was disappointing. On a very warm day, the air conditioning was almost non-existant and the room was very simple and not particularly clean. The location is good, particularly if you get a room with a view of the sea.... more

The hotel is located in Ortigia (the old part of Siracusa) right on the seafront (ask for a sea view room!). We had a sea view room in the main part of the hotel. The road, as other reviewers have pointed out, was just outside but it didn’t bother us at all. The hotel has been nicely refurbished in a... more
