We cannot recommend staying at this hotel. In fact, we didn't even stay and chose to book elsewhere after check in. The photos in the listing are in no way comparable to the actual rooms. The furnishings were worn down, uncomfortable and not well kept. The bathroom had visible mold and was extremely old, not in a charming way. There is no AC in the bedrooms either. The clerk was not particularly welcoming or accommodating. There are many other hotels in the area, choose a different one.

Es un engaño La habitación q nos dieron era entrando x un pasillo sucio malos olores con basureras y ropa colgada El staff , la manager la encargada de la recepción y la q hacía el desayuno Personas muy desagradables sin ningún respeto por sus clientes

Could have been so much better - but the property needs some TLC.

This is a very charming place to stay. Cannot say enough good about this place. The service and friendly staff gets 5 stars. On the other side, what I missed was having an overhead circulating fan and a full length mirror. Minor issues

We loved the hotel entrance , breakfast - especially the scrambled eggs ! , little sitting room next to the dining room, our sweet little terrace and the fabulous staff. We will be back very soon x

I was pleasantly surprised that this apartment, in the middle of a busy tourist centre, was quiet and

Ortigia is beautiful and this hotel is right in the heart of it.

Great help from reception regarding parking.

We enjoyed this hotel. It was charming and close to everything. Just one road away from the sea. Could use a few updates, but we didn't spend much time in the room for it to bother us. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Full of character (with a museum in the basement). Close to restaurants and other sights (the cathedral/museums etc...). Self catering in rooms is basic - better to eat out. About 120 Euro taxi ride from Catania airport. Reception is not 24/7 so arriving out of hours needs some advance planning. Reception staff are very helpful. Ortigia itself is tiny and you can walk everywhere. Don't forget your afternoon siestas.

Las fotos de la propiedad son una mentira. El cuarto estaba en pésimas condiciones, enchufes rotos góticos fundidos, la secadora de pelo rota colgando. E papel de baño lo ponen sobre una silla oxidada, las llaves de agua y la regadera están oxidadas, solo alcanza el agua caliente para una persona. Llegamos a abrir todas las ventanas por el olor a humedad y aromatizante. Hay un tapete que se te pega a los pies de lo sucio que está. El patio que sale en las fotos es un cuchitril lleno de basura Muy mal la verdad.

Very ancient building had both ambiance and charm but also some drawbacks like stairs and noise echoes. Very unique accommodation in superb location.

This is easily one of the most charming and wonderful hotel stays that we have had in years. We would not only stay here again, but highly recommend it. We chose and paid more for room 12, which I highly recommend. It felt like am apartment with three rooms rather than just a hotel stay - it had ocean views from two rooms. The location is A .

Free upgrade is wonderful

Room was spacious and well equipped in an ancient villa like atmosphere (used to be the Jewish public baths still visible in the ground floor). At night (no staff to refer to) we could never figure out how to heat the room, so spent a rather cold December night.

We had a great stay at Alla Giudecca. It's very well located and had a nice ambiance. Breakfast was great and communication easy. The concierge helped us figure out parking and upgraded us to a larger room because it happened to be available. The beds are rather firm, but the spaces are charming and the hotel is just steps away from the water and many of the sights and restaurants. Highly recommend taking a tour of the Jewish baths on site if you have the chance.

My room was so far from the front desk down an alley with limited wifi. I asked them to move me the 2nd day. The bathroom had mold in the shower and the kitchenette needed updating. The blowdryer was broken and the mirror was old. This has a great potential for a hotel but needs updating. The room was big and could have been 2 rooms.

If you like rustic and history, this is undoubtedly the place for you. We loved it. Your neighbors are local people and you feel completely immersed in the local experience. The jewish baths were a plus, although we felt the charge for a 20 minute dissertation seemed a bit steep ( 7 Euros) The buffet breakfast was worth the convenience, light but pleasing enough. Our beddings and pillows was like lying down and smelling down feathers! This is how we sleep at home, and never, ever get down beddings in any hotel or bnb. The staff, especially Jess were very helpful. They let us check in early and put us in a room that didnt require climbing steps, since my husband had a fairly recent knee surgery. I would absolutely stay at this place again! There are restaurants near by and everything is in walking distance. Wear comfortable shoes. Ortigia is mostly old cobblestones.

Comfortable room with nice patio and view, nice breakfast to start the day and primo location. Easy walk to visit the island.

I wouldn't recommend this place. It's an apartment, the rooms and bathroom are in the second floor, which has a very low ceiling, if you are 1,75m or more you can't walk standing up straight without hitting your head! The shower had no effectively box, so all the bathroom gets wet. The external window of the main bedroom was broken, and there was no black-out curtain, so we have sunlight in very early in the morning. The breakfast could have more fresh fruits once it's a hotel in Sicily! Also the bread was over 9h20 and there was no refill! They call this a hotel, but the reception is there only for a few hors a day and they can't help you even to call a cab!
