Okay, this could be one of the cutest and coolest places we have ever stayed. The staff was amazing and the location was great. Really loved the small elevator to get to our fantastic room with a little view of the Mediterranean . From this hotel you can go anywhere. CHARMING!

Although the rooms are spread out throughout an old palace - a bit of a maze - the room was clean, large, with a nice balcony and in excellent shape. The hotel is in the middle of everything in Ortigia - shopping, restaurants, historic sites and seconds away from the sea. It’s on a pedestrian only street (most of Ortigia is pedestrian only) but taxis can come to the corner where vehicles are allowed, 50 meters from the hotel door. I highly recommend this place, though if you’re planning to arrive late, you may need to call the number on the door to be let in and get checked-in.
At the corner from the hotel, while waiting for a taxi.

This is a nice property, that should be a luxury hotel but fails in some key aspects. The reception is very messy and looks like a cheap hotel filled with ads for other companies. Super tacky. When I got there the elevator wasn't working. When I got to the room the wifi stopped working. Tried to call the reception for help but even though the room has a ton of supposedly helpful literature, not one had the details of the wifi, or how to call front desk. Had to walk all the way back to the reception. When I told the receptionist that it would be super helpful to actually put the details of the wifi and what code to use to call reception, she told me that this has been brought up to management many times but they choose to ignore it. Hopefully this one-star review will encourage them to take action. The breakfast doesn't offer cooked-to-order eggs or pancakes. Again, something that a luxury property should offer as standard (and the eggs served at breakfast were nasty, but the bacon was great). Finally I asked for a beach towel to go to the beach next door, and was told that I could rent one for 5 euro. Again, not cool. Lastly the bathroom products come with an advertorial that felt very tacky. Cheap products wrapped in ribbons to seem more upscale. Overall pretty disappointing.

We were not familiar and it took a minute to locate as the entrance is not facing the street. Once we found it, Giuliani checked us right in and set up a parking valet for us. She helped us with our luggage and showed us to our room. Beautiful building with great history. Rooms were quiet and clean. The Manager, Domenico was an absolute treat and made us feel right at home. I can’t wait to go back. Grazie Mille, Lanterne Magiche! You have earned guests for a lifetime.

This property is amazing. It has a cinema theme. The Manager is a true professional in every way the building is of high-quality our room/suite had high ceilings and beautiful views of the street and built in Terrace. The location is one block from the sea and very accessible to all the spots in Ortigia. We look forward to staying again in September.
