Good location. Rooms spacious, very modern and in great condition. Only thing I didn't like in our top floor suite was that the only windows are on the ceiling, so you couldn't look outside and it gave a slightly caged feel. Not all rooms are like that though. Staff was very friendly.

A must visit accommodation.

The accommodation did not disappoint. Immaculate spacious rooms with brilliant air-conditioning which was much needed in the July heat. The breakfast was great with good choice. All the staff could not do enough for us and were so friendly with my Wife and I. Would definitely recommend.

The standards and care we enjoyed in this hotel was beyond any expectation. All aspects of cheer in the host Hotel would deserve a score of 10/10 however the most striking aspect of this modern Hotel is the genuine care that staff provide to the guests. Individualised attention and hospitality with attention to details is associated with warmth and understanding for the need of travellers. The proximity of the Hotel to the railway station and Ortegia is time saving and practical. I’m not sure how come that this Hotel was initially advertised on Hotels.com site as a two star hotel in reality, it deserves a five star rating for sure. Excellent free breakfast with generous space of Rooms kept in excellent modern condition is worth mentioning. Thanks and appreciation for the management, staff and associates of this Hotel.

Stunning hotel with beautiful staff always happy to see you and keen to help. Quiet and peaceful location, the hotel is between the archeological park (which the hotel gave us bikes free of charge to ride to) and ortigia island. Great breakfast and as an extra surprise our beautiful room even had a sauna! We would stay here again and again.

A very comfortable place close to the train station . Excellent WiFi and shower . We spent most of our time in Ortegia which is an easy 15 minute walk . It’s also very walkable in the opposite direction to the historic park . We also really liked the attached restaurant, Onda Blue. By the way - The “Seafood Soup” is enough for two !

The hotel was clean and modern. The staff was very polite and attentive. My only criticism is it wasn’t located in a great part of town. It was safe, very close to the police station, but it is a little away from the more desirable parts of town.

Excellent experience with incredibly attentive staff. The room was delightful and just what we needed. The parking was easily accessible even though one needs to drive around the block to get there, but it’s just behind the hotel - very convenient. The breakfast was excellent and again served very attentively in the same space that, at night, is used for the Onda Blu high level fish-focused restaurant (10% off too as hotel clients). Don’t be fooled by the “fish market” designation on Google Maps - it is that too (and the fish is superb) but it’s very much a restaurant too! Plan to be back here when we return the next time
