    unique room layout
    glass shower screen

    The unique room layout on two levels was a refreshing change, and the glass shower screen was a practical touch.

    Felt very homey, no complaint.

    expensive parking

    We had a two-night stay with a beautiful view of the marina, and the breakfast buffet was fantastic, especially the fresh pastries! I'd love to return soon.

    rooftop restaurant
    massage service
    pricey drinks

    Had such a good time here! The rooftop restaurant offered really tasty food, and I loved the relaxing massage service after a long day of exploring. Just a heads-up, drinks at the bar can be a bit pricey, so budget for that! 😊

    waterfront view
    attentive service
    small room
    crowded restaurant
    limited parking

    The waterfront view from our deluxe room provided a picturesque backdrop for our two-night stay. Breakfast on the terrace was delightful, featuring freshly cooked egg dishes that complemented the substantial buffet. The staff's attentiveness, especially during an unexpected medical issue, was remarkable and went above and beyond. However, the room was slightly smaller than anticipated, and while we enjoyed the restaurant, it was occasionally crowded.

    fantastic location
    great breakfast view
    dated decor

    great location but dated decor

    The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the old town. The breakfast on the top floor offers a wonderful view of the marina which adds to the relaxing atmosphere.

    The decor feels quite dated, which might not appeal to everyone.

    in-room breakfast

    This place suits me perfectly with 24-hour reception, in-room breakfast, and friendly staff who returned my forgotten items. I remember Fortunato's remarkable kindness during my stay! I’m excited to return next year.

    historic character
    spacious accommodations
    excellent breakfast
    steep staircase
    mobility challenges

    The Grand Hotel Ortigia offers charming historic character with spacious accommodations. My room was a loft conversion, featuring a delightful layout with a comfortable living area downstairs and the bed and bathroom upstairs. The location is perfect, just steps from the promenade and key attractions, making it convenient for business engagements. The breakfast was particularly impressive, featuring high-quality options and excellent service.

    The steep staircase may not be suitable for individuals with mobility challenges.

    cramped room

    The standard room felt slightly cramped, making it hard to move around comfortably. Some bathrooms showed signs of wear, like chips in the tub and sliding doors instead of regular ones, which felt awkward. The rooftop bar prices for cocktails were staggering, possibly breaking the bank compared to your usual local spots. And while the views could be stunning, large curtains and obtrusive signage ruined the sea view experience from certain rooms.
