Grand Hotel Villa Politi
One of the loudest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Just constant banging around

UNA Hotels One Siracusa Wellness & SPA
Great room, breakfast, and staff. Adequate parking. Not too far from the historic district. Only issue we had is that the walls everywhere are painted black and lights were barely on, so it’s difficult to see where you are going. That’s the vibe, but older people like us may have a problem.

Park Hotel
Average hotel that needs upgradingand modernising. Breakfast needs to be a bit more expansive. Good carparking facilities.

Grand Hotel Ortigia Siracusa
We stayed here for two nights and were extremely disappointed, especially considering this is supposed to be a five star property. Our first night we were put in a room where the bathroom had a horrid smell that spread to the entire room. The room was also on the same floor as all the cleaning staff ...
