The hotel is conveniently located to easily walk places of interest, especially to Ortigia. Although there was no parking around the hotel, it was very easy to walk across to the nearby public parking. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The continental style breakfast had all we needed. Although the room we had was spotlessly clean and comfortable, it was a little tired/worn in parts that I wouldn’t normally expect in a 5*. But overall it was a comfortable room.
