Sonny

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall, I had a good stay and the staff was genuinely very kind and helpful. The hotel was also very clean and well maintained — nothing to complain about on that side. Most of the issues were related to the equipment and sound insulation. The double bed was actually made of two single beds pushed together, with very different mattress firmnesses — one soft and one much harder — which made it uncomfortable to sleep in the middle. The room doors were also more like standard house doors than hotel doors. They seemed to use the same key system, which did not feel very reassuring from a security perspective, and they were extremely thin. Unfortunately, the soundproofing was very poor. During my stay, there seemed to be a school group in the hotel, so I could hear shouting, laughing, arguments, music, and even housekeeping moving beds around in the afternoon while cleaning rooms. Because of this, I would strongly recommend bringing earplugs if you are sensitive to noise, as well as a sleep mask since the blackout curtains still let quite a bit of light into the room in the morning. One final suggestion for the hotel would be to install wall-mounted soap dispensers in the bathrooms. Using the small soap bars and sample-size products provided was not always very practical. That being said, the welcoming staff and cleanliness were definitely appreciated.

La stanza era al terzo piano senza ascensore, la finestra sita in alto non era raggiungibile e non oscurabile. Negli spazi comuni era presente una gabbia con un volatile ed io sono allergico al piumaggio. Questo dovrebbe essere reso noto ai clienti.

Helpful receptionists are appreciated

Archimede is a small hotel somewhat in need of modernising (e.g. toilet flush), but with a certain old world charm. The worst aspect of the stay was a noisy local nightclub on the Saturday night. The best was the receptionist who made the very best of his English to make our trip a success.

L'albergo è in una posizione comodissima, si può parcheggiare l'auto di fronte e raggiungere Ortigia in 15 minuti a piedi in una bella passeggiata attraverso il centro. La nota più piacevole del soggiorno però è stato Ruben, l'host dell'albergo, che ci ha accolto con gentilezza e disponibilità rare: non avrete bisogno di una guida turistica perché Ruben provvederà a darvi tutte le informazioni pratiche e storiche necessarie per visitare Siracusa. Torneremo!!!

On peut atteindre Ortigia soit a pieds soit en bus:arret a proximite. L'hotel est calme.

My room was road side and so too much noisy. Sound-proof is not good. Very naarrow stairs led to the rooms with loose keyhole. Night shift staff can not speak English. Bed was too soft. Overally, the hotel is suitable for back-backers. Except for train station, nothing to see is around the hotel.

駅・バスターミナルに近い

荷物が多く、駅やバスターミナルを利用する方にはお勧めのホテルです。部屋は年代を感じましたが、部屋数もあり家族経営のようで、一生懸命もてなしてくださいました。駅の周辺はさびれた感じでした。夜まで賑わうシチリア島まで徒歩１５分。 夕食のお勧めを聞くと、徒歩１０分程度の街中のレストランを勧めてくださいました。活きた海老など新鮮な魚を手ごろな価格で食べることができる家族経営のお店でした。
