Very nice hotel in Ortigia, in a quiet location between the sea and the centre. The staff were helpful with information about parking prior to our stay, and responded quickly. Our studio was spacious with a view of the sea, and the bed was very comfortable. A great experience all round!

I loved Lanterne Magiche Ortigia. The staff were patient and kind and gave me advice for exploring Siracusa. If you need a taxi to the train station, they’ll book one for you! My suite was comfortable and clean, and I enjoyed the rooftop terrace on several evenings.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The blending of old and new architectural features was interesting and unique. Our group booked 3 suites/apartments and each was very spacious and different. The location was very convenient. We were impressed on how the staff was continually cleaning spaces around the hotel. We loved the rooftop patio and the waterviews. The furniture needs upgrading some of the upholstery was stained.

Thought it was fab. We were there off-season (Nov. 25) but still liked our stay. I even went for a swim at the bottom of the staircase leading down to the water a block from the hotel. We stayed in Room 9 which has an attached balcony with water views. Fantastic.

Nice

The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was small; the towel holder was rusted. The air conditioner was so noisy we had to turn it off at night in order to sleep. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfast buffet was nice. Like most hotels in Ortigia, the parking was about about a half mile away—long to drag suitcases!

The room is spacious and clean (other than the dusty, mildewy curtains). The description is misleading and I would not have chosen it because there is no sea view, no breakfast included and there wasn't even coffee and tea in the room. The receptionist even said our room has a sea view.

For the price I was not impressed. The room was large but very dark— the shower was not very nice (rusty, water not so warm), had to pay for bottled water and the safe did not work.

This was a nice hotel with an ample buffet breakfast. Our room was comfortable, but not well appointed. The location was good. We were able to walk everywhere. The parking is very inconvenient and when we left our car for a moment to bring our luggage into the hotel, we were given a 29 euro ticket. There is no help in moving your luggage. We thought it would have been nice to have someone from the hotel watch the car until we got our luggage situated. The receptionist shrugged her shoulder when we told her about the ticket. The evening receptionist showed some sympathy. We would not recommend the hotel if you are arriving by car.
