"This is a beautiful hotel with excellent service. Lorenzo at the front desk was the nicest person giving us great dinner recommendations.
The view from the room was incredible.Location is great."
"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. "
"Stayed for 3 nites
Air Conditioner was broke and not working the first night but they brought us a fan which helped and they fixed it the next morning. Breakfast was great the first morning and went downhill from there- $8.00 per person. Probably not worth it but the coffee was good. No cafe near by. Shower great. Staff helpful. Old building in not a very pretty area but safe enough. Elevator helpful for luggage. Great restaurants on the beach. "
"We decided to stay in Ortiga for 1 night and were very happy we stayed here! Andrea and Maria are perfect hosts, our room was spacious and well designed and the accommodation is perfectly placed to explore the local area. We’d highly recommend Elsa d’Ortiga to anyone thinking of visiting Syracuse. "
"A 15-20 minute walk from bus or train station. Great position near market with so many dining options close by Fabulous view from breakfast on the rooftop terrace. Friendly attentive staff"

10/10 Excellent
"First time in Syracuse and this hotel perfectly met our needs in terms of facilities and location. It’s expensive - especially for the sea view rooms, but they are very nice and the view is lovely from them. I would use this hotel again if staying in Syracuse."
"We stayed here as part of our honeymoon trip and we got this huge loft style apartment room which was super cool! They had left us some treats which was very nice :)
The hotel is about a 2 minute walk from the swimming access point which is amazing.
They charge 5 euros per beach towel if you want to rent it, and have a mini fridge stacked (with extra charges) of drinks.
The service was amazing! One feedback is the breakfast was repetitive, it would be cool to see some more options for hot foods (for example: sausages, omelettes, etc.
Overall it was a great stay and the hotel is like an amazing maze its huge and exciting to explore!!"
"Directly across from the train station and I didn’t hear anything. The staff were very nice and the breakfast was great. I wish that the bed was elevated about 8-10”. It was very comfortable but hard to get out of bed for an old man like myself! "
"This is an outstanding resort hotel right in the heart of Ortigia, the beautiful historic center of Syracuse, Sicily. The hotel is full of light and you'll be mesmerized by waking up with the azure of the sky and the Mediterranean Sea in front of view, enchanted by the reflection of the sunshine. The rooms are comfortable. The staff is exceptionally friendly, professional, attentive and kind. Breakfast is delicious. An absolute gem!!"
