Ottimo rapporto qualita e prezzo.

Albergo gradevole, bella hall, personale cortese, camera spaziosa e silenziosa, non nuovo ma ben tenuto. Importante il parcheggio anche se i posti sono pochissimi Colazione adeguata. Posizione comoda, 10 min dall Ortigia.

Hotellet bærer preg av lite oppussing oppigjennom, og det er helt greit at det er litt "gammeldags" , men det som ikke er bra er den intense røyklukten på overalt - selv på rommet vi hadde. Frokost var helt grei.

Struttura ben posizionata, nel complesso gradevole e personale della hall molto gentile e disponibile. Le camere avrebbero però bisogno di un restailing. Anche la colazione andrebbe arricchita.

Pessoal da recepção muito codial e solícito. O ponto, muito fraco, foi o restaurante. Pessoal rude e indiferente. Café da manhã sofrível, típico hotel que recebe grupos.

Colazione PESSIMA

Camera piccolissima. Il letto andava quasi da una parete all’altra. Assurdo una sola macchina del caffè per la colazione, ho incontrato una comitiva di stranieri e c’era una fila interminabile per prendere il caffè. Negativisso!!!!

Un albergo per gite scolastiche e infatti di notte orde di ragazzi strepitano nei corridoi nell'indifferenza del personale .Del prestigioso Jolly hotel è rimasto solo il nome, la struttura è brutta ,le suppellettili scadenti per usura o bassa qualità. Certamente la posizione è unica sia per la vicinanza al teatro greco sia a Ortigia che si può raggiungere a piedi con una piacevole passeggiata.

Hotel in posizione strategica, a 10 min a piedi da Ortigia. Tuttavia la struttura è vecchia e mal organizzata. Al nostro arrivo la stranza era freddissima e abbiamo tentato in vano di accendere il riscaldamento: ci è stato detto che non era ancora stata fatta la conversione invernale il riscaldamento......il phon rotto ci è stato sostituito con un mini phon viola da viaggio.....

Comodo albergo vicino al centro della città. La camera era confortevole anche se con pecche: il termostato non riportava i gradi equivalenti ed è stato impossibile impostare una temperatura idonea; il termosifone del bagno è rimasto freddo e uscire dalla doccia non è stato piacevole.

Albergo molto pulito, servizio reception impeccabile e colazione super! Abbiamo deciso tardi di fermarci a Siracusa e non potevamo trovare di meglio, anche per le mie due cagnoline, che sono state ospitate senza problemi. Lo riprenoterei e lo consiglio a tutti!

Insoddisfazione totale!

Bagno piccolo, box doccia obsoleto, la porta non non si chiude, lampadina fulminata. La camera è piccola e la tenda non è oscurante, entra luce, mi sono svegliato alle 6,20. La colazione è scadente. Non lo consiglio è non intendo più utilizzarlo.
