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

Positives - incredible sea view from both our room and the communal terrace - great simle decor in our room as well as the lobby, sitting area and breakfast area - wonderful location. Away from many of the other hotels, set in amongst the local homes, but still only a few minute walk to the sights and restaurants - both... more

We didn't have a clue what to expect on arriving here but found a really cool B&B really sympathetically restored in keeping with its history and location. Yes the traffic is a bit of an issue if you have a room at the front and yes it is a pain in the neck to park your car but it is... more

We booked 1 night at the Gutkowski and wished it could have been more after getting there. Fabulous big double bed, and nice bedroom and bathroom overlooking the sea . We were in the annexe and spent a very relaxing hour or so on the beautiful terrace with great views while also enjoying a pretty decent Nero D'Avola that we... more

Breakfast delcious, nice hotel but rooms a little small. Slept in twin room, beds small and metal, close together. Old television-remote did not work. view from room was of an alley which was sometimes noisy. Building work in progress, and walls thin. The stair case was metal and looked like it was being done up, as it had holes in... more
