The hotel is very central in the main town of Siracusa. Plenty of good restaurants on the doorstep and only ten minute walk from the station. Ortigia only a 15 minute walk away. The bathroom facilities and room decor are slightly old fashioned but all working fine.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
All of the staff were wonderful - kind, helpful and welcoming from the moment we arrived. A special mention must go to the glamorous young woman on reception with the most incredible eyeliner. She was so friendly and approachable, and her English was fantastic (certainly far better than my very basic, poorly spoken Italian 😅). Sadly, I didn't catch her name, but I hope she recognises herself. When we arrived, she kindly checked with another member of staff to see if our rooms were ready, luckily we were able to check in early. She then showed us our location on a local area map and gave us excellent recommendations on where to eat, drink, and visit, along with helpful tips on how to get around. On our last evening she was more than happy to arrange a taxi to the airport for us the following morning, which was greatly appreciated. The rooms were very clean and spacious, with fully working air conditioning. One of the rooms also had a small balcony, which was a lovely added touch. ( The road can be a little loud if you have the window open but we wore earplugs at night so no problem for us). The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, including pastries, fruit and yoghurt, cereal, bacon and eggs, olives, cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, and more - plenty of choice for me as a vegetarian. We would highly recommend the Grande Albergo Alfeo and would happily stay here again. Thanks again from Leanne, Freya & Louise.

Good location

Perfect location - easy walk to/from the Siracusa railway station and to Ortigia. Nice restaurants (Agape recommended) nearby. Very good breakfast. The main road was very very noisy - Get a room that is not facing the main road. We were 1st floor - could be quieter higher up?

I very much enjoyed my stay at this wonderful hotel . The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast staff was impeccable and the breakfast was excellent ! Housekeeping made sure all your needs were met. The location was perfect. I took the Interbus from Catania Airport and got off at there last stop which was a short and easy walk ( with 2 pieces of luggage ) . Ortigia was also a short walk over the bridge to explore. Many walkable things to do in opposite direction as well. Plenty of restaurants nearby ( must try the Indian restaurant across from hotel ) . Definitely recommend staying at this Hotel.

Terrible room in 4 star hotel in catanis

Well staff are excellent so is lobby and breakfast I had a roof on third floor with no window but a door with metal stairs leading up to a porthole or something like balcony ! It started vibrating In wind at night and water started flooding the room floor ! I had a terrible night as it rained and blew all night ! I love the staff at reception and the dining area but why this room is even in use only hotel knows it’s disgraceful and disgusting for a four star hotel ! But from previous experiences I know hotels com won’t do anything about it ! What a shame as hotel com used to be efficient once
