Ortygia hotel guide. Hilton Hotels hotel in Ortygia, Sicily

"Superb staff, Emanuel at front desk went above and beyond printing out maps and providing suggestions for day trips. Hotel and rooms are very dated and lack a cohesive look. Bathroom smelled of sewage and the entire hotel had the smell of grandma’s awful perfume. Rooms are small, location is superb and right on the water. Amazing views from the top floor restaurant. Wait staff fantastic and very attentive."

"The staffs are all friendly. The room is clean and spacious. The location is super. I would highly recommend it."

"Everything was excellent it’s a special hotel!!"

"We had such a lovely room, the private patio was gorgeous with many health plants and panoramic views of Ortigia. We could see the city on the right and the sea on the left. With the wooden table & chairs we had a lovely breakfast out there with a view and we were able to catch a beautiful sunset on our first night without having to leave. The staff made us feel comfortable and welcome, and the room was very clean & quiet. We would absolutely come back again."

"Parking must be planned in advance. There is nowhere to park around the hotel though they are there to help you unload and load."

"I was welcomed so warmly. Great staff who went out of their way to make it a great stay. The room was a bit old, the shower was a bit unusual, but it was very charming and the view out over the water was amazing! Close to everything but also off to the side to be quiet enough. Would definitely recommend "

"The hotel is nice and the staff excellent. However we had room 101 which gave onto the main restaurant, had no view, and the window of the bedroom is opaque and almost impossible to open , even then, only onto to a court so no view. The greatest issue was that all the switches were difficult to understand and it was impossible to get the heating right. I was freezing during the night and ended up having to wear clothes. "

"I loved this hotel. Stairs are not my friend and even though there is no elevator they had a ground floor apt for me. The people are lovely. I would stay here again. It’s an historic building and area thoughtfully cared for which speaks to my heart. "

"Fabulous location. Spacious room. Delicious breakfast"
