Top Catacombs of St. John Hotel Reviews

Archimede's Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"The only minus of the place is that there are no good restaurants in the area, you need to go back to city center."

Grand Hotel Villa Politi

8/10 Good

"We overall really enjoyed our 3 night stay here, and appreciated the quiet and historic charm of this hotel. It is an incredibly unique peace of property, with an attached historic Latomie that was both beautiful and intriguing—we really wished the hotel had access to explore the areas below. We also really appreciated the continental breakfast, and were surprised by other’s complaints in reviews we had read before staying here. It was the most elaborate continental breakfast we have ever experienced, with options ranging from fresh fruit, to delicious pastries, and even eggs and bacon for those with used to a more American meal. We loved the pool as well, however we were disappointed that it was only open until 7pm every day, we would have enjoyed an evening swim. The bar was also closed, though they provided service through the bar inside. We also really enjoyed the 2 for $22 aperitivo offered from the bar. The room we stayed in was small and a bit dated, but met our expectations for an older hotel. We also had issues with the AC not turning off and making our room very cold. We were able to find parking every night, however I would not describe it as a big parking lot, and it was overflowing every night with people crammed wherever they could find room."

Nostos rooms & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"This modern interior in a historic building makes for a great place experience. All good! Note: there are no elevators and the rooms are one floor up."

BeBIgea Rooms

8/10 Good

"Completely self serve. Room was clean and safe. Well placed as it’s is not to far to walk to either the historic remains of the amphitheatre and Greek temple or Ortegia. If you are on your own and in a car it could be “exciting” to find, I was lucky."

Algila' Ortigia Charme Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with wonderful hospitality We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Algilà Ortigia Charme. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly and genuinely welcoming. The hotel is full of Sicilian character and charm, and its location in Ortigia was perfect for exploring on foot. Our room was comfortable and beautifully suited to the character of the hotel, and the staff were always happy to help with recommendations and anything we needed. After travelling throughout Sicily for two weeks, what stood out most was the genuine hospitality. We felt like valued guests, not just another reservation. Algilà was exactly what we hoped for from a Sicilian hotel — charming, personal and welcoming. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ortigia!"

Grand Hotel Ortigia Siracusa

8/10 Good

"The hotel is conveniently located and balcony restaurant and bar had a great view."

Grande Albergo Alfeo

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay"

Palazzo Artemide - VRetreats, SLH Collection

10/10 Excellent

"El mejor de Ortigia"

Hotel Como

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right across from the train station and friendly staff!"
