Miinukset: There was no lift to go to our room.

Plussat: Room was comfortable & clean. Property was safe!! Staff was amazing, friendly & efficient. Great faculty & location!! I highly recommend!!!

Miinukset: Truly nothing!!! It was perfect!!!

Plussat: Amazing location just off the main square in Ortigia, perfect to walk everywhere. Lovely terrace for breakfast which was delicious. Front of house staff very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Space is tight driving through the old town to this hotel. Best to avoid the valet parking if you have a big car

Plussat: Beautiful place with friendly staff, great breakfast buffet and comfortable beds

Miinukset: Wish they would clean up the garbage on the outside of the property, particularly at the back. Seems to be an issue in Sicily in many places

Plussat: The bed was exceptional and so were the pillows and sheets. The view was great, ac worked.

Miinukset: The LED lighting in the room was bad, the small shower unbearable, and the overall decor not to my liking.

Plussat: Great rooms, very spacious

Miinukset: Spa facilities were not all fully up and running or working

Plussat: Superb location right in the heart of Ortigia, housed in a grand old building. Room was of a loft style, with a large bed on the mezzanine floor. Comfortable bed, bright room, and has two toilets (very useful). Breakfast was generally of good quality. Ample parking in front of the property (for travellers with cars).

Miinukset: Service attitude of some of the staff was unacceptably poor, for a "luxury" property. Two examples - (i) there is ample public parking next door, convenient for drivers. When we checked in, we were told that we could opt to pay for valet (at 30 euro for 24 hours), or park at the public lots (one euro per hour; payment either via parking machine or the EasyPark phone app). We opted for valet the first day, but on the second day we parked at the public lots. We received an inexplicable parking fine the next morning, although valid payment had been made. We approached the reception staff for assistance when we returned, and they told us they would email the local police (with a screenshot of our payment) and keep us informed the next morning. When we checked the next morning a different receptionist (female, with dark shoulder length curly hair) immediately told us with a defensive tone that the hotel could do nothing, as we were at fault for not using the hotel valet service. This attitude was poor and offensive, and beside the point. The fact is her colleagues made a very simple offer of contacting the police, and we were not at fault if the instructions were not clearly passed on. Also, the male manager present, whilst the conversation was getting heated right next to the breakfast guests, did not make any gesture to calm the situation down, and only offered to check when the receptionist left us without a word of apology, and we had to protest to another female receptionist present. When we returned later in the afternoon, this same receptionist was the one who had to appease us (whilst the manager and the first receptionist were nowhere to be seen) (ii) room cleaning was poor - we had left a cup of tea from the morning on the table in the room, this was not cleared away when we returned, and neither was bottled water refilled. We had to complain at the reception before they sent room service up to remedy. Bed was poorly made as well.

Plussat: Excellent hotel, great location and a real high end feel. Although open for a year it looks like new. Excellent location to tour Ortigia and Syracussa

Miinukset: It is a shame that the swimming pool was an extra charge, and also that the hotel had almost no outside space to eat or enjoy a drink.

Plussat: I like the location, the clean room and comfortable contemporary design. Breakfast is good. The fitness gym center is below 5 start expectation.

Miinukset: Generally speaking, The staff are green ( sophistication level not match 5 star nor luxury expectation . Lack of warm welcome smile from a five start hotel host. The breakfast staff should volunteer to offer manue to customer since this is included in the breakfast, not wait till customer ask.

Plussat: The room was fresh snd modern

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were very friendly especially Andrea (male) at the bar. It was our first night and we weren’t sure about what to do in Siracusa. He served us drinks and food and made us feel very welcome. He also gave us a map of the area and circled places to visit. He was charming and polite. The breakfast was good, more variety than some hotels have offered during our time away. The pool was very clean and clear and we enjoyed lying on the deck chairs in the sun and a swim in the pool. Relaxing. The bed in the room was very comfortable.

Miinukset: The rooms were unclean, bathroom in particular. The mini bar fridge needed a good wipe out.

Plussat: It was a beautiful, clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were a good size and more than ample space for the family room as well. The pool was very clean and well maintained and had a nice views of the city and the sea in the distance. It was a brisk 20 minute walk to Ortygia Island, where there was an array of local eateries and a lovely walk by the marina and sea for swimming. The food and cocktails were good at the hotel, though the portion sizes for lunch and dinner on the smaller side. Breakfast was a good array of choices including a cooked breakfast, fresh croissants, fruit and yoghurt - it was a good start to the day and friendly staff to also greet us in the mornings. We got the Interbus from Catania Airport which was about an hour transfer to a stop near the hotel for about 5.70 euros each way and a comfortable and cost effective journey. We’d definitely stay at the hotel again should we visit Sicily in the future.

Miinukset: If anything just the portion sizes for lunch and dinner - though the food itself was good.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Location was a little bit far to access Ortigia but we managed.

Plussat: Breakfast was okay, not as good as in other hotels I have stayed at in the same chain. Rooms were comfortable and staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: A little far from Ortygia Island. Pool was small and there was a significant amount of noise from pool and restaurant area in rooms of the 5th floor.

Plussat: All was excellent!

Miinukset: Nothing in my eyes

Plussat: Clean, well run, efficient hotel. Knowledgable and helpful staff. The best of the multiple hotels we stayed at in Sicily. Facilities were good. Location was good, although a little frustrating to rely on the electric minibus with no known schedule but this can be fixed with a €10 taxi to Ortigia and a short walk (30 minutes) home.

Miinukset: Unfortunately rooms were compact and no real outdoor space for hanging beach towels etc.

Plussat: Very comfortable rooms and the hotel was well maintained

Miinukset: Breakfast a little disappointing

Plussat: The Royal Maniace was in a good location in Ortigia. Easy to walk to the main square and restaurant area.

Plussat: Location is very good and hotel offer valet parking. Staff is very helpful and friendly! Breakfest is delicious.

Miinukset: Room is a bit worn out.

Plussat: Location, and view.

Miinukset: The breakfast buffet could have had more selection.

Plussat: Sijainti, rauhallisuus

Miinukset: Äänieristys huoneiden välillä oli huono

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. Central location in walking distance of central Syracusa being a historic gem worth visiting. The hotel has all and more that you require for a pleasant, relaxing stay.

Miinukset: It appeared that non-drinking water used in the hotel (tap water, toilet flushing, shower etc.) is taken from the sea right next to the hotel. This causes a strong sulfur (rotten eggs) smell in the bathroom after using such water. We were explained by the hotel that this is "normal". In our view this should not be the case in a hotel or anywhere else. The room with sea view was in fact a room overlooking a court yard and only a bit of sea to be seen. Strictly speaking it's sea view, yet not what you would expect. A very pleasant and spacious room nonetheless.

Plussat: The location was good - that was all that we liked about this very disappointing experience.

Miinukset: 1. At no stage were we made to feel welcome - so much so, that we avoided spending waiting time at the hotel ahead of our departure. 2. Air-conditioning - after spending more than hour trying to cool our room down, we enquired about whether there was a problem with the air conditioning. At that point we were told that the air conditioning was not turned on until guests requested it (notwithstanding that there is a control in the room). 3. Although the room had tea bags, coffee and 2 cups and saucers, there was no kettle with which to boil water. 4. The shower did not drain effectively.

Plussat: Amazing location. Beautiful views and rooms. Nice balcony overlooking the sea. Breakfast was stand out great.

Miinukset: Overall really great. .. just poor blinds that let light stream into the room, which woke us up at sunrise

Plussat: Nice location

Miinukset: Bathroom fittings were rusted. Really need to be changed.

Plussat: Very convenient and comfortable. Staff really helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Liked everything about hotel but didn’t like being charged at time of booking.

Plussat: Historic Safe Easy to get around Staff on duty 24hrs Central to all activities

Miinukset: All was good

Plussat: The old historic structure.

Miinukset: The lighting was very poor in the very small room we were given. The bathroom lighting was poor as well. The, safe was not bolted down...anyone could have walked out with it, there was nothing but a cover sheet on the bed and I got really cold at night as I am rather cold-blooded, the staff were polite but not especially friendly, the staff didnt offer a map, recommendations or help when checking in. The breakfast was not very good. While there were lots of pastries and some fruit, the scrambled eggs were watery and were not good and the milk for the cereal was very warm. Each morning we had breakfast, we were asked for our room number when we ordered coffee which we thought was odd. The entire experience from checkin to checkout made us feel as though we weren't wanted. The reception staff didnt even ask when we checked out whether we needed assistance with transport, etc. You know...its the little things that matter and this hotel lacks so much. It may have been grand years ago, but not now. Its the overall feel of a hotel, not just the trimmings that grab us. We would not stay here again.

Miinukset: The room had bed bugs & I was covered with bites. When I told the manager he pretended he didn’t understand so I asked Siri to tell him what bedbugs were in Italian & then he understood. I was expecting some kind of refund as I ended up in the pharmacy at the start of our vacation. Very disappointed about this stay. Also, rooms are not air conditioned & 1 of the elevators was out of order.

Plussat: We ware able to walk from the train station / bus station . It is walking distance of most major sites in Syracuse and several restaurants, bars and cafes . The breakfast was good, bedroom/bathroom - comfortable, WiFi was fast and the staff - pleasant and helpful .

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Hotelli rakennus oli kaunis ja maulla sisustettu. Aamiainen oli runsas.

Miinukset: Sain huoneen,jossa parveke oli monttu katolla. Mahdoton edes maiseman katseluun.Jos asiakas on useampia vuorokausia vieraana,kannattaisi antaa kunnon huone.

Plussat: Good breakfast and comfortable room

Miinukset: Location was outside Ortigia island and no parking in the premises. Parking is around 4/5 blocks away

Plussat: If want to stay in vineyard, this is your place.

Plussat: The staff were lovely and very helpful. It had tired decor but it was very clean and in a really good location to visit Ortigia. As usual with Italy 4 stars really mean 3 !!!

Miinukset: The balcony doors let in rain during a storm and flooded the room. Not sure that this was a reason for the room being infested with mosquitoes. I came away with over 30 bites as did my friend who never gets bitten. We are seasoned travellers and have never been bitten so badly. The breakfast was just ok, not a huge choice and again quite basic.

Plussat: Sijainti oli hyvä. Aamiainen oli erittäin hyvä. Huoneessa ja koko hotellissa oli tilan tuntua.

Miinukset: Huoneessa ei toiminut hiustenkuivaaja, tosin sellaisen sai pyynnöstä.

Plussat: Lovely room, great location and fantastic breakfast

Plussat: We liked that the hotel was a traditional elegant Italian hotel with a fantastic driveway, front double entrance staircase, lovely traditional veranda, wooden lobby staircase and fantastic high ceiling dining room. It felt like we were back in the 1800's with all the elegance and luxury of that era. The staff were so friendly, helpful and polite and couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast and evening meals were fabulous. The pool and area were lovely and relaxing and the grounds surrounded by the Latamoie dei Cappuccini were wonderful. The hotel position is good, with excellent views and it was great that it is near to all the archaeological sites and close enough to Ortigia too - we loved the walks to and from these sites. We loved it.

Plussat: Great place to relax after excursions to the Greek Theatre, Siracusa old town and Ragusa. Excellent swimming pool. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Free parking with sufficient space.

Miinukset: Breakfast not quite up to our expectations: no fruit salad, limited choice of yogurt. Would have been great if the hotel has a shuttle-bus to the town centre. We waited for 30 minutes for the "Hop on, hop off" bus only to find it was full, so we had to take a taxi (to avoid driving into the city).

Plussat: Ilmapiiri, sijainti loistava, henkilökunnan ystävällisyys, ihana aamupala, upea rakennus.

Plussat: Its old world grandeur and history.

Miinukset: The location, unfortunately the hotel has been left isolated by the blocks of flats and roads that have sprung up around it.

Plussat: The style and the fact it was historic and grandiose. Also the surroundings (Latomie) were breathtaking

Miinukset: Staff is a bit absent and not specially friendly

Plussat: Location, the view, the breakfast and the ambiance of the villa

Plussat: We had a large room which overlooked the garden in the old limestone quarry. It's better than it sounds. The hotel is faded a bit but comfortable. Parking is on site which makes a nice change from street parking.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nukuin todella hyvin ja aamiainen oli oikein hyvä.
