We enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The blending of old and new architectural features was interesting and unique. Our group booked 3 suites/apartments and each was very spacious and different. The location was very convenient. We were impressed on how the staff was continually cleaning spaces around the hotel. We loved the rooftop patio and the waterviews. The furniture needs upgrading some of the upholstery was stained.

Very nice hotel in Ortigia, in a quiet location between the sea and the centre. The staff were helpful with information about parking prior to our stay, and responded quickly. Our studio was spacious with a view of the sea, and the bed was very comfortable. A great experience all round!

This is a beautiful new property, really lovely renovation of several joined houses. But it's twisty and oddly planned, for example the breakfast room is in a far corner, rather than centrally located. The staff is friendly but not as helpful as we'd like. (They said they'd order a taxi to pick us up from the bus station, but didn't.) Our room was very nice, but missing some basics: there was an outlet and light on only one side of the bed, there were not enough hooks in the bathroom for towels and cloths. Also the bathroom was poorly designed and a bit dingy. The property is in a pedestrian zone and not near a bus stop, and there are sketchy streets and alleys nearby.

I loved Lanterne Magiche Ortigia. The staff were patient and kind and gave me advice for exploring Siracusa. If you need a taxi to the train station, they’ll book one for you! My suite was comfortable and clean, and I enjoyed the rooftop terrace on several evenings.

Thought it was fab. We were there off-season (Nov. 25) but still liked our stay. I even went for a swim at the bottom of the staircase leading down to the water a block from the hotel. We stayed in Room 9 which has an attached balcony with water views. Fantastic.
