Grande Albergo Alfeo

The hotel was excellent. We decided not to stay on Ortigia itself but the hotel was a x5 minute walk to the island & situated in a very nice part of Siracusa. The walk from the train station to the hotel with our luggage was 10-15 minutes, very easy. Our quadruple room was spacious with comfortable beds & excellent air-conditioning. Everything is spotlessly clean. The fresh complimentary lemon granita in the lounge area is very welcome & the hotel has a lovely lobby & outside courtyard, as well as an outside seating area in front of the entrance. We were particularly impressed with the breakfast & it being served from 7.00am-10.30am made it relaxing & enjoyable. You can eat inside or outside in the courtyard, lovely. The selection of food is excellent with bacon, scrambled eggs, cold meats being continuously refreshed. Our breakfast coffees were made on demand, no vending machines. There is fresh fruit, cereals, toast, pastries...a very generous selection with plenty of friendly & welcoming staff on hand to assist. I would highly recommend the hotel.....the staff are professional & friendly and for us, being near but not in Ortigia, with its many tourists, was ideal.

On arrival we were upgraded into a very comfortable corner suite with sitting area and spacious bedroom. The hotel is an older building that has been carefully maintained and is well decorated. It’s on the “mainland” part of Siracusa, not the island of Ortigia. There are several good, small restaurants nearby.

Grande Albergo Alfeo has great location - lot of popular tourist attractions are in walking distance (Ortigia island, Neapolis Archaeological park) and great choice of dining facilities. If you arrived here by car - there are great parking place (Parling Syracusa 15eiro / 24h) located just in 5 min walking distance. If you are interested in 'Hop on - hop off" excursions - starting piont is located same direction as Syracusa Parking, very close to hotel. Staff - very proffesional, heplful and polite. Always ready to help. Room was spacy. Comfortable beds. Breakfast buffet was really good for Sicily - continental breakfast, not only italian style breakfast. Great choice for nice stay!

This was our 4 time in this Hotel.The room was very clean and comfortable .breakfast is very good.staff speak very good english.

Location was ideal a 10min walk from the train station and a further 10 to ortigia island and old town. Hotel was very quite, clean, comfortable and offered a great tour of an olive grove with terra surti a must visit. I also availed of fishing with IG matea.buggea.fisherman. great experience and catch of a lifetime. One restaurant camurria, stood out around the corner. Sicilian family run, very friendly, accomadating and value for money. Touche across from the hotel didnt disappoint.
