Hotel Mediterraneo - Siracusa

Good hotel. in ragusa i have been in a terrible b&b. siracusa is very nice and this hotel is central. one day there, very late back in the night and very early up in the morning. so i can say just: good breakfast and nothing more.....Bueno !!!!

Everything was wonderful. I hope I'll come back in future in this very clean and confortable hotel. Sicily (and expecially Siracusa ) is WONDERFUL !!!!

I was disappointed that the television did not work and the AC took a while to cool the room but overall the hotel was clean and the staff was most helpful both in check-in and to direct us what to see in Siracusa and Ortigia.

We stayed for one night, good location to visit Syracusa, walking distance from tourist areas. Nice welcome but only in italian, nice breakfast, pretty decoration. The hotel has 4 parking slots, but we could park easily in the area (free). No international channels on the TV.

Nice hotel in a city with wonderful ruins. It is a pity that they are not well kept and except for Isola Ortigia, where the streets were clean, the city itself looks dirty and abandoned. The hotel has excellent staff.

This establishment definitely deserves a recommendation, not merely for free parking right in front or for free internet facilities. Location is within moderate walking distance of Ortigia, no problem for healthy people. Reception very friendly and helpful.

Good (small) hotel conveniently located at a walking distance from Ortiggia. Good and very spacious room (good for families with small children), friendly staff and decent breakfast.

Bonnes prestations. Adresse a recommender pour Siracusa

Excellent welcoming and service

Good location for the major sites, both in the peninsular, Ortygia, and the main land. Also well located for restaurants and transport (bus and train station). Only downside was a noisy air conditioning unit on our balcony, servicing another room in the hotel

I chose this hotel because it was not too expensive. was close to the train station, ( this is because we are backpackers who usually walk rather than take taxis) and seemed to be close to Ortygia and the archaeological sights I wished to see in Siracusa. I found it to be clean and I found the service to be excellent. The hotel is located on a rather inauspicious residential, commercial street, so don't expect a great neighborhood. However, the interior of the hotel and the exterior of the hotel are very attractive and welcoming. I thought it provided good value for the money.

Very nice hotel. Near restaurants and shops. surroundings a bit "old harbour"look a like so...Very service minded. friendly staff.

The hotel was as described, and the staff were helpful. What let it down was the ineffective air conditioning.We were visiting at a time when the daytime temp was in the high 30's. It was unbearably hot, making sleep almost impossible,the airconditioning just couldnt cope, and, as it is in the middle of town, it was too noisy with the windows open.You couldnt go out and leave the air conditioning on to cool the place while you went out as your room key is required to activate the electrics in the room. Location is good for seeing the sights, and the breakfast was ok. The views from the rooms wasnt that great,but you are in a town so thats to be expected!and you could see the sea which was a bonus. On the whole we would recommend this hotel, but not when the weather is hot!

Extremely friendly, english speaking staff. Charming hotel. Excellent location. View of disused railway track from the tiny balcony wasn't perfect but you could still sea the sea. And definitely the best, most varied breakfast we had in sicily.

A nice small hotel, ranking perhaps a bit lower than 3 stars, but the persons at the reception desk are nice and helpful. The hotel is well located between the station -where the bus stops too- and Ortygia. To be recommended.

Would recommend this hotel to anyone, receptionists all spoke very good English and the hotel was ideally situated for centre of town.

I visited with my partner and her mother as part of a holiday and we had an excellent stay at the hotel. The access to upper floors is difficult for less able visitors and some rooms do not have a proper shower. The location is convenient and Siracusa is a lovely city.

The best hotel we stayed in on Sicily, although it was also one of the most expensive! The room did not have a view, however the facilities were all excellent (clean, airconditioned etc).

Hotel très bien situé à mi chemin de la vieille ville et des sites archéologiques tous accessibles à pied (10-15 mn). L'accueil est excellent, parking aisé (testé hors saison). La proximité du port nuit un peu au cachet de l'hotel. Les chambres sont très confortables et de grandes tailles. Un seul point négatif: peu de pression d'eau sous la douche. L'environnement est calme. Le petit déjeuner très honorable.

Expensive to be an B&Bs

Excellent hotel even allowing for current building work.

L'albergo era in posizione ottimale, a 10 minuti da Ortigia. La stanza veramente spaziosa e la colazione ben curata. Il personale veramente gentile, mi hanno fornito parecchie informazioni utili. Unico problema:stanno facendo dei lavori di ristrutturazione e la scala per accedere al piano superiore è un po scomoda e l'ascensore non funzionava. Comunque ho già deciso di tornarci!

Nice hotel quite central, 8 min walking from Ortigia Island. No lift so had to carry luggage upstairs otherwise fine. Staff extremely nice and helpful, asked where and what to eat and got cool places and excellent meals!! Parking on the street in front of the hotel, need to reserve it in advance to be sure. Overall good!

Very friendly staff, clean place

We had such a lovely stay! The hotel staff was more than accommodating and very nice as well. The breakfast nook was enchanting and I loved the view from my balcony. The room was spotless and smelled so clean every time we came back. It was also conveniently located within walking distance of great restaurants and sightseeing. I would definitely recommend staying there!

Good location between old city and archeological park. Restaurants plentiful in the old city. Overall a good small hotel

Nice and quite small hotel with pleasant view on harbour and very friendly personal

Bonus: Sauberkeit, mittlere Lage Sehr schlecht: ich habe noch nie einen so schlechten Capuccino getrunken ( lösl. Kaffee), nachts durch den Verkehr sehr laut, die Zimmer im 2. Stock sind eine Zumutung!(kein Fenster, Lichteinlaß über eine geschlossene Loggia), Internet für 8€ für 15 min- dann kann ich auch über Handy telefonieren. Croissants labbrig, im Orangensaft tote Mücken. Dieses Hotel wird uns nicht mehr wiedersehen. Syrakus ist i.ü. auch nur Tagesreisen wert, da ziemlich kaputtgebaut in der Vorstadt.

Staff forgetful-did not have any ice available staff not aware of dining facilities Location good for touring easy to find

This is a nice hotel with very nice employees, however, I traveled a month throughout Italy and found this hotels prices to be unreasonably high based on its location. I see no basis for this kind of pricing.Rooms of close to the same quality in close proximity of this hotel were approximately 1/3 the price of this hotel and they were very abundent upon arrival. I felt as if I was ripped off and still feel that way. I would never stay in this hotel again based on its price/location ratio.

Not central when you walk out for the evening

Mauvais rapport qualité prix, malgres que les proprietaires soit tres tres gentil. Le petit dejeuner laisse vraiment a desirer et les chambres n'ont pas de double vitrage tout en donnant sur une artere tres passante... a deconseiiller donc. Pris exorbitant par rapport a ala prestation offerte. Point positif, internet gratuit et a dispo. Tres mal situé geographiquement.

We stayed in Mediterraneo for 1 night in late July 2005. The hotel is easy to find, and the parking right next to the hotel door is free. Although the immediate vicinity of the hotel is not really attractive, the famous island of Ortigia is within walking distance. Another attraction - the Greek theater and archeological park - is also not far; we actually visited those before checking into the hotel and then drove to Mediterraneo. The hotel has apparently been recently renovated, and everything inside looks new. The room was very clean, comfortable, and quiet, with harbor view. The breakfast was good. The hotel staff was very welcoming, cheerful, and helpful. Overall, our stay was very pleasant. We regret that we stayed only 1 night. We would definitely stay at Mediterraneo again.

A completely charming hotel, the sharm of the personnel, the cleanliness of the rooms, the good taste in the decoration, the excellent breakfasts. I believe that our stay will be unforgettable in it.

A very lovely small hotel. Recently renovated and decorated. My only compaint was the garbage truck noise very early in the mroning. Gracious employees; very helpful.

An excellent location--walking distance from train station, to ortygia as well as to syracuse (we never needed bus or taxi). Staff is very friendly and welcoming and rooms are large and quiet. Barking dogs in the neighborhood not their fault, but loud enough to interfere with sleeping.

Nice rooms. OK view of the bay. Within walking distance (less than a mile or two) of most tourist sites. In an "industrial-looking" area. Convenient to drive to, once you find the little street that it's on.

Hotel ist erst renoviert worden. Sehr schön eingerichtet.Personal sehr hilfsbereit,leckeres Frühstück.Umgebung erschreckend heruntergekommen!Parken nur am Strassenrand in einsamer Hafengegend!Die Insel Ortygia ist zu Fuss zu erreichen, allerdings nach ca 10 Minuten , zum archäologischen Museum ca. 15 Minuten. Wir würden das Hotel jederzeit wieder wählen, wenn die Umgebung nicht so schrecklich wäre.

I found the staff extremely friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spotless, recently decorated and newly furnished.

I enjoyed my stay in Syracuse. The hotel is within walking distance to both the island of Ortiega and also the Archeological park. The staff tried hard to accomodate us as well.

The Mediterraneo is an excellent choice for exploring Ortygia--it's located just a few short blocks from the island and away from the crowds on the island. The room and the public areas were beautiful, a good breakfast was served and the staff was very helpful. Would love to stay there again.
