Wonderful Stay Near Ortigia

friendly staffcomfortable bedthin walls
The staff was very friendly and helpful, promptly answering questions. My room was upgraded on arrival (a very nice surprise!). The breakfast was good with many choices. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was great.
The walls seemed thin, so I could hear some noise from other rooms. This made it a bit difficult to fall asleep at times. I think adding soundproofing to the rooms would solve this issue.
