It needs to be made clear that parking is not easy; you either put the car into a parking lot and walk back to the hotel or the hotel takes care of it for 50 euros a day. Second-the bathtub wall is very high and getting in for a shower or bath will be difficult for some. The breakfast is excellent; the staff very nice and beautiful room and if you have difficulty -that is a problem

Beautiful Hotel with a great view of the ocean

The Grand Hotel des Estrangers is a beautiful hotel perfectly located in the Ortigia section of Syracuse. The building is beautiful and the renovations are very stylish. The breakfast was excellent and the rooftop bar and restaurant are quite nice. The staff is high professional and friendly. We had massages at their Spa which were top notch. The gym is adequate. Good luck if you need to change large euro bills for smaller denominations, we asked once or twice every day and were often unable to get it from the front desk. I know it’s not a bank but it’s a reasonable request.

The hotel was in a great location of Ortigia and the staff were very helpful. However, the hotel was not at a 5 star level. Management of the hotel and staff seemed to be lacking at times. Also, the room we booked did not appear to be the one assigned to us but they were able to resolve it.

Rooms were tiny and not well laid out

The room for 2 was so incredibly small , we could barely move around: The people working at the hotel were absolutely wonderful, helpful and friendly.. but logistically the room was so tiny and it was not laid out well at all. For the amount of money we were paying it simply was not worth it. We however very much liked the hotel personnel:

Very nice city hotel. Hotel is well-situated for exploring Ortigia. Room, with a view of the water, was quite nice and very clean. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast buffet was as expected for a property of this caliber. Hotel is located within restricted zone, so it was possible to drive to hotel but then necessary to valet park (at 50 Euros/day). We also walked to the archeological park and museum in Siracusa although this was quite a ways. There is a rooftop outdoor lounge that has a view but seems too hot for afternoon use and a bit too cool for the evening during our late October visit. We highly recommended this hotel.
