the location of this hotel was really good. it was close to both ortigia and other lovely areas. the staff showed very nice kindness, i must say. the rooms had a lovely design, and all the appointments felt top notch, .
our room did not fully resemble the beautiful rooms i saw online. the decor was more in line with classic rooms, i believe. the furniture felt cramped, and the closet was quite small. the air conditioner was terribly loud, unfortunately.
