Colette, Apr 2025
Pros (+) Fantastic location and facilities. It lacked outside space and sadly the roof top area wasn’t open on the 4 days we were there. It would have been lovely to enjoy the view. We didn’t take breakfast and opted to eat out instead. Loads of cafes nearby.

Gayl, Jan 2025
Pros (+) The staff, particularly Carmen, Maria, my neccessary handicapped assistants, the restaurant staff, and Adriana and Szabo in the spa were excellent, friendly and extremely accommodating.
Cons (-) Sadly, I picked the hotel because I could continue my aquatic therapy in the pool. I was also told there would be an elevator to my room.

Simon, Jan 2025
Pros (+) The location is superb, the staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable while the hotel itself sensational and the restaurant manages to stand out even in the culinary stronghold that is ortigia. I strongly recommend this hotel as a perfect base in Syracuse. It is heads and shoulders above the many city hotels I have stayed at, not just in Syracuse but in Sicily in general.

Pros (+) The Ortigia palace Hotel is outstanding. My wife and I stayed in a suite that was very spacious, had to levels, views were amazing (had windowns to two different sites of the island. The suite was incredible, with classy decoration. Hotel staff were very nice, cordial, helpful. Parking was very convenient (unusual for an European hotel). We cannot say enough good things of this hotel and its staff...
Cons (-) We should have stayed one more night.

Diana, Sep 2024
Pros (+) Location, proximity to public parking, and most of all, the staf. Five stars all the way!
Cons (-) The washrooms and shower stalls are very small, hardly any counter space, to rest toiletry bags. It would be helpful to have a place to rest two luggages
