We were going to be placed in a room that had some plumbing problems in the bathroom, but we notified the front desk staff, and they tried to fix the problem with the toilet, but then placed us in a different room that was much better. The rooms are mostly simple, and it's an older building, but it's clean and the staff is very nice and accomodating.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall, I had a good stay and the staff was genuinely very kind and helpful. The hotel was also very clean and well maintained — nothing to complain about on that side. Most of the issues were related to the equipment and sound insulation. The double bed was actually made of two single beds pushed together, with very different mattress firmnesses — one soft and one much harder — which made it uncomfortable to sleep in the middle. The room doors were also more like standard house doors than hotel doors. They seemed to use the same key system, which did not feel very reassuring from a security perspective, and they were extremely thin. Unfortunately, the soundproofing was very poor. During my stay, there seemed to be a school group in the hotel, so I could hear shouting, laughing, arguments, music, and even housekeeping moving beds around in the afternoon while cleaning rooms. Because of this, I would strongly recommend bringing earplugs if you are sensitive to noise, as well as a sleep mask since the blackout curtains still let quite a bit of light into the room in the morning. One final suggestion for the hotel would be to install wall-mounted soap dispensers in the bathrooms. Using the small soap bars and sample-size products provided was not always very practical. That being said, the welcoming staff and cleanliness were definitely appreciated.

La stanza era al terzo piano senza ascensore, la finestra sita in alto non era raggiungibile e non oscurabile. Negli spazi comuni era presente una gabbia con un volatile ed io sono allergico al piumaggio. Questo dovrebbe essere reso noto ai clienti.

Helpful receptionists are appreciated

Archimede is a small hotel somewhat in need of modernising (e.g. toilet flush), but with a certain old world charm. The worst aspect of the stay was a noisy local nightclub on the Saturday night. The best was the receptionist who made the very best of his English to make our trip a success.

L'albergo è in una posizione comodissima, si può parcheggiare l'auto di fronte e raggiungere Ortigia in 15 minuti a piedi in una bella passeggiata attraverso il centro. La nota più piacevole del soggiorno però è stato Ruben, l'host dell'albergo, che ci ha accolto con gentilezza e disponibilità rare: non avrete bisogno di una guida turistica perché Ruben provvederà a darvi tutte le informazioni pratiche e storiche necessarie per visitare Siracusa. Torneremo!!!

Fatiscente piccolo hotel lontano dal centro

Dovevamo avere una doppia con vista invece siamo capitati in una minuscola stanza al primo piano che affacciava su un muro, caldissima,arredata alla buona,con un bagno piccolo e mal ridotto con la porta che sbatteva sul water!

Hotel choisi parce qu'il mentionnait un parking pour la voiture.Pas de parking mais par chance, une place devant l'entree de l'hôtel. Tout c'est finalement bien passé : pas d'ennui. On peut atteindre Ortigia soit a pieds soit en bus:arret a proximite. L'hotel est calme. Il faudrait plus de soin: cordon electrique denude de la lampe de chevet, proprete et etat de la cabine de douche qui laisse a desirer.A part ca: tres bon accueil.

Hôtel vieillot et un peu triste. Bien placé par rapport au parc archéologique et au centre ville, à 50 m de la gare. Eviter les chambres donnant sur la rue, très passante et bruyante à cause des pavés. Problème de chasse d'eau et de fil électrique dénudé sur une lampe de chevet, non traité pendant notre séjour. Literie confortable. Petit déjeuner quelconque.

Hotel Archimede in Sicily

My room was road side and so too much noisy. Sound-proof is not good. Very naarrow stairs led to the rooms with loose keyhole. Night shift staff can not speak English. Bed was too soft. Overally, the hotel is suitable for back-backers. Except for train station, nothing to see is around the hotel.

駅・バスターミナルに近い

荷物が多く、駅やバスターミナルを利用する方にはお勧めのホテルです。部屋は年代を感じましたが、部屋数もあり家族経営のようで、一生懸命もてなしてくださいました。駅の周辺はさびれた感じでした。夜まで賑わうシチリア島まで徒歩１５分。 夕食のお勧めを聞くと、徒歩１０分程度の街中のレストランを勧めてくださいました。活きた海老など新鮮な魚を手ごろな価格で食べることができる家族経営のお店でした。

peut être un des plus mauvais hôtel de Sicile

Pas d'ascenseur, un petit déjeuner rustique et tardif (pas avant 8h30 et au ralenti), une fausse annonce concernant le parking, la rue, en fait, une literie aléatoire.Un hôtel qui pourrait, avec de très gros efforts se hisser à la catégorie des 3 étoiles qu'il annonce!
