About the location
Holidays in Syracuse are an immersive voyage of discovery through the ages. Situated on the south Eastern coast of Sicily and surrounded by the Ionian Sea, Syracuse is one of the most important towns in Italy for its architecture, monuments and art. From ancient Greek origins, the history of the town spans the Roman Empire and successive Saracen, Norman and Spanish invasions. Today, the peaceful atmosphere, with its natural beauty, stunning coastline and historical diversity, will seduce you too. The town is an ideal base for couples and families with a passion for cultural travel.
Under the Sicilian sun, retrace ancient civilisations through the flagstone paved streets lined by warm stone buildings, where unique statues and evocative relics are to be found around every corner. Take advantage of the slow pace of life and take the time to check out the inspiring range of restaurants, shops, bars and street markets. This maritime town, tracing nearly 3000 years of history, provides an unforgettable backdrop to an inspirational and fascinating holiday at any time of year.

Wonderful property near the train station. I wasn't expecting much so I was very pleasantly surprised. My plan was to walk to the property, leave my luggage, grab the electric bus to Ortegia, see sights, catch early train to Malta Ferry.
Horrible weather - bad storm. Limited time on the Island which i loved. Returned to Alfeo due to weather for dinner and had a nice fixed price meal.
Seemed as though the refurbishment had just been completed as everything looked new.
Top marks for Room, bathroom, reception,lobby, atrium, restaurant, staff.

Good breakfast - a variety of products to choose from: sweets, ham, eggs, fruits. Ordered coffee better than the one from buffet (but we were asked if we want it only one day). Our room was very clean. We got information about sightseeing at the reception desk.
On the other side, only one elevator was working and once even non of them. No view from the room - some stairs leading somewhere and stealing the light coming to the room. Parking possibilities limited - either driving in the area for quite a long time to find free parking spot (unless you come in the evening and not in tourists season peak) or pay 15 - 18 EUR for parking. I would also say that hotel is rather strong 3-star than 4-star place.

Located in a side street just before the bridge to Ortigia, i strongly recommend it. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. It is a short walk to the main attractions. It offers an expensive but much needed laundry service. Back the same day. The service is excellent and the buffet breakfast includes bacon and eggs!

I really like this hotel, great rooms, fantastic breakfast spread and lovely staff.
Just a couple of tweeks and this hotel would be excellent: The air-conditioning only just coped, plastic cups everywhere - bathroom, bar and breakfast room, could do with tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The hotel is a 10 to 15 min walk to the island of Ortigio where all the tourist stuff is but the hotels surrounding neighborhood has great cheap tavrens, restaurants and bars.

The hotel is centrally located in a palazzo between the main streets Via Malta and Corso Umberto 1. It is very easy to access Ortegia island by foot as well as the Parco Arceologico della Neapolis.
Our room was big and clean and the bed was comfortable. Only negative issue was that the room was located towards Via Malta, there was noisy traffic basically all night long. Tip, demand a room at the courtyard side!
The breakfast was good, especially the selection of pastries. The coffee in the pot was only warm, not hot. But you could ask for a cappuccino and that was good.
