Nice big room and bathroom. Comfy bed, good shower, outstanding value. Close to station but just a short walk to old town. Also let us book in really early - and would have taken bags if room wasn’t ready.

I thought the location so close to the train and bus station and within easy walking distance of Ortigia could not be beaten. The bathroom was the best I experienced in Italy and it was great being able to make my own dinner in the kitchen instead of going out at night. It was weird not having a person there to talk to but when I needed help twice the owner responded to my texts and solved my problem. It was great value for the price. I would recommend it to my friends.

Bien situé proche de la presqu’île d’Ortigia et des autres endroits de Syracuse à visiter. Le petit déjeuner inclus est en fait l’accès en libre service à la cuisine de l’appartement où l’on peut trouver des gâteaux et du café. Nous avons cependant été surpris par une dame qui est rentrée dans notre chambre sans toquer alors que nous étions dedans. Nous avons aussi trouvé le matelas très dur ce qui pourrait poser problème pour les personnes ayant des problèmes de dos.

카타니아와 노토로 바로 갈 수 있는 버스 정류장이랑 기차역 근처여서 이동이 편해요. 시라쿠사 관광지의 아주 중심은 아니지만 걸어서 이동하는 데에 무리가 없고, 오히려 관광하러 오르티지아 가는 길에 이런 저런 가게들 구경할 수 있어서 좋았어요. 전체적으로 깔끔하고 시설 나쁘지 않아요

Proprio stamattina io e il mio compagno abbiamo lasciato questo b and b dove abbiamo passato quattro notti. Si trova all'interno di un condominio su una strada molto trafficata (anche di notte) e molto illuminata. Anche di notte. Nel complesso comunque siamo stati bene, il letto e il bagno li abbiamo trovati comodi e tutto è perfettamente funzionante. In camera c'è anche un divano che non è così usuale trovare. C'è anche la cucina a disposizione per chi ne avesse necessità. Unica nota dolente, oltre al rumore ma questo è un problema mio dato che ho il sonno molto leggero, purtroppo nonostante tutte le mattine siano stato svuotati i cestini di camera e bagno, i pavimenti non sono mai stati puliti né il balconcino che per quanto piccolo è comodo da avere in camera. Ringrazio comunque la signora che ci ha accolti al nostro arrivo dandoci tutte le indicazioni su come aprire e chiudere le porte.

Schönes Zimmer in zentraler Lage

Das Zimmer liegt an einem Kreisverkehr mit hohem Verkehrsaufkommen. Durch die guten Fenster ist der Lärmpegel jedoch erträglich. Zur Altstadt ist nicht weit, in der Nähe gibt es Bars und Restaurants. Im B&B steht in der Gemeinschaftsküche alles für ein Frühstück bereit. Insgesamt ein sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

B per una notte

B&B che in verità è solo B perché non è prevista la colazione. Punti di forza sono la facilità nel trovare il parcheggio e la poca distanza a piedi da Ortigia. La camera è grande e spaziosa. Punto debole è che potrebbe risultare un po' asettica e ha un affaccio su una piazza rumorosa.
