Grande Albergo Alfeo

The location was excellent; very near to the bridges to Ortigia and a 20 minute walk from the archaeological park. The breakfast was fine. The room was spacious with good facilities. You can make yourself tea in the lounge area to the right of reception. [would've been good if we were told this at check in rather than noticing it at check out]

I couldn't get the aircon to work in the room. Despite reporting this to reception, the room remained too warm throughout our stay and the only way to cool it was to open the windows. But it was too noisy outside to sleep with the windows open. Also there is excessive use of disposibles. Water "glasses" both in the room and at breakfast were disposible plastic. As were most of the mugs for coffee/tea. There seemed to be a limited supply of washable crockery in a hotel that was barely occupied.

Excellent! Nice, comfortable, new design and equipment, super central location for city walk.

Beautifully designed and furnished old building in an excellent central position. Ten minutes walking distance to Ortiga and station and 15 minutes to all the thistorical sights. This was the best value most comfortable hotel in which we stayed in Sicily. So good we stayed an extra night.

Wonderfull building in teh city center, modern rooms, very comfortable beds.

Great location near Ortigia, very good value for money. Bathroom very good equiped with Jacuzzi.

This hotel is excellent, clean, modern with lots of light. Our room was large with a balcony, plasma TV, room temperature control, mini bar and power shower. The buffet breakfast was excellent. Lots of relaxing seating indoor and outdoor. The location is excellent and short walk to Ortigia and all the archaelogical sites.
