Grande Albergo Alfeo

An older building that has been sympathetically modernised. Room a good size and well equipped with hanging space, luggage rack, seating. Decor attractive. Breakfast good : fresh fruit, cold cuts, eggs, as well as the usual pastries. Coffee made to order. The hotel is on “mainland “ Siracusa, only a short walk from the bridges to Ortigia, and we found the restaurants in the area to be better in quality and value than those on the island.

Street side rooms can be noisy; take earplugs.

Very good size room, historic building, renovated rooms, close to sights, easy parking nearby. Very good breakfast. We had half board and the dinner was good value.

Some attention required in the bathroom to keep standards high.

The room was very large and very comfortable. The bathroom was very modern with all the trimmings. We took the dinner bed and breakfast option which was excellent value. The evening meal was three courses with more than we could eat. The dishes were local and very fresh. We could not fault the breakfast either. The only problem was the room was a bit hot even with the heating off. I think the locals feel the cold more than us Brits. Unfortunately when we opened the window we got the dreaded mozzies. A small problem with an otherwise excellent stay and very good value for money.

Slightly hot room
