A very charming hotel that has really managed to create an authentic and welcoming atmosphere without compromising on quality or comfort. There is a personal touch throughout the hotel, and you can tell that a lot of care has gone into both the surroundings and the details. We had a spacious and very comfortable room that was of a really high standard. Compared with many other hotels we have stayed at in Italy, this one definitely stands out in a positive way. The location is also fantastic, with the sea and a lovely just around the corner. The only thing that doesn’t quite match the high standard of the rest of the hotel is the breakfast. In particular, we would have appreciated a better selection of fresh fruit. I completely understand that a smaller hotel may not be able to offer freshly cooked eggs or omelettes made to order, but at the very least, the boiled eggs should be properly prepared. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would gladly return. With just a little more care and attention given to the breakfast, the overall experience would be hard to beat.

It is a beautiful property recently renovated. Very comfortable bed with fine linen and fancy large bathroom. Large breakfast with mamy choices. Has nice roof terrace with comfortable sofas and see view. Good elevators. Convenient location on the east wall close to the bus stop connecting with the bus terminal (#106). We hope to come back.

Okay, this could be one of the cutest and coolest places we have ever stayed. The staff was amazing and the location was great. Really loved the small elevator to get to our fantastic room with a little view of the Mediterranean . From this hotel you can go anywhere. CHARMING!

Awesome place! Barbara the manager was totally amazing and dedicated to making sure all our needs were met. The room was very clean and comfortable. Wifi worked great. Location. Was within walking distance of the center of town, shops and restaurants and the Valley of the Temples. This property deserves the highest recommendation!

10/10 Exceptional

Although the rooms are spread out throughout an old palace - a bit of a maze - the room was clean, large, with a nice balcony and in excellent shape. The hotel is in the middle of everything in Ortigia - shopping, restaurants, historic sites and seconds away from the sea. It’s on a pedestrian only street (most of Ortigia is pedestrian only) but taxis can come to the corner where vehicles are allowed, 50 meters from the hotel door. I highly recommend this place, though if you’re planning to arrive late, you may need to call the number on the door to be let in and get checked-in.
At the corner from the hotel, while waiting for a taxi.

Lovely place, helpful staff. Only negative was parking our car. Upon arrival we did not know that we could not park our car at the property. It instead had to be valet parked.

We were not familiar and it took a minute to locate as the entrance is not facing the street. Once we found it, Giuliani checked us right in and set up a parking valet for us. She helped us with our luggage and showed us to our room. Beautiful building with great history. Rooms were quiet and clean. The Manager, Domenico was an absolute treat and made us feel right at home. I can’t wait to go back. Grazie Mille, Lanterne Magiche! You have earned guests for a lifetime.

2/10 Poor

This is a nice property, that should be a luxury hotel but fails in some key aspects. The reception is very messy and looks like a cheap hotel filled with ads for other companies. Super tacky. When I got there the elevator wasn't working. When I got to the room the wifi stopped working. Tried to call the reception for help but even though the room has a ton of supposedly helpful literature, not one had the details of the wifi, or how to call front desk. Had to walk all the way back to the reception. When I told the receptionist that it would be super helpful to actually put the details of the wifi and what code to use to call reception, she told me that this has been brought up to management many times but they choose to ignore it. Hopefully this one-star review will encourage them to take action. The breakfast doesn't offer cooked-to-order eggs or pancakes. Again, something that a luxury property should offer as standard (and the eggs served at breakfast were nasty, but the bacon was great). Finally I asked for a beach towel to go to the beach next door, and was told that I could rent one for 5 euro. Again, not cool. Lastly the bathroom products come with an advertorial that felt very tacky. Cheap products wrapped in ribbons to seem more upscale. Overall pretty disappointing.

If you’re looking for a quiet hotel with a great location, comfortable bed and good shower, book here. The hotel itself has a lot of character and we particularly enjoyed their rooftop terrace. We stayed for 4 nights. Our Deluxe room with balcony had a partial sea view so it was nice to see the sunrise from the sea. Since everything was so close it was easy for us to pop by the hotel periodically throughout the day for a rest or even a bathroom break. The only downside was that our room only had 1 chair and a bench at the foot of the bed which we were able to sit on. I would recommend upgrading if staying more than 2 nights. At the time of our booking this was the best room category available and we didn’t want to move even if a better room became available since we were already quite comfortable. Also nice to have a Nespresso machine in the room to enjoy your first cup of cafe and the Breakfast included was quite good.

Great location! Lots of restaurants near by. Close to all the major attractions and the hop on hop off was around the corner. The place was very unique. The room was big with a sea view from the window. Room was made up everyday. An awesome experience. I would certainly come back.

We LOVED this property. It is perfectly located on a charming street with ocean views from the balcony. The room itself was enormous, with a huge main bedroom, tons of storage, a second bedroom behind that, a charming little sitting area in the entrance, and a spacious bathroom with large shower. The hotel used to be a museum of cinema, and retains some charming decor reminiscent of that. Don't miss the "home movies" from the 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Just charming.
