Tania
Wonderful location. Very kind and helpful reception staff. Very comfortable room and good breakfast. The upstairs terrace was nice too. We enjoyed our stay in Ortigia.
Mark
Great location in the old town and wonderful little hotel. Rooms were v clean and comfortable. The hotel is situated on a little pedestrianised lane containing numerous shops and restaurants. We were recommended a fish restaurant a few meters away and it was excellent. Staff there v helpful in choosing wines to match our food.
The hotel staff could not have been more helpful. They arranged for car parking and notifying authorities about waiving fees for entering old town.

Elisa
The staff was exceptionally friendly. The valet parking service saved our bacon in Ortigia. The breakfast offering was fantastic - something for everyone.
Unbeatable location in the middle of the action. Would love to come back someday.

Heather
We had a terrific time at Palazzo Gilistro! We arrived on a busy Saturday night, and it was challenging navigating the ZTL zones. We should have just parked at the public parking lot in Syracuse, but everything was perfect after that. All of the staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. The location was right in the middle of everything and we loved walking out the door and having food, shopping, and sites right there! Breakfast was also great. Absolutely perfect! We would definitely stay there again.
Melodie
This is a great boutique hotel in the middle of a busy little town. The location is great and the staff was extremely helpful. The room was clean and a nice continental breakfast. I would recommend this cute little Hotel if you’re planning to come here. This town is busy and loud until midnight so if you need to go to bed early, this town is active until late, then you can sleep!
Laura
Localidad perfecta. Personal amable, buen desayuno.
ELISE
Staff was very helpful with parking and reservations with restaurants. They were knowledgeable about the area and not to be missed sights. Hotel was in the center of town and easily walkable to bus, shopping and restaurants
Vladimir

Great people. Great location.
Kevin
Great stay in Syracuse
Clean, comfortable stay in the heart of the Ortigia Island area of Syracuse. Helpful and friendly staff. Great breakfast and rooftop bar area. We coordinated with the hotel for valet parking which was helpful given density of the area and limited parking options. Convenient location with easy access to most of the key sites in the area.
Heidi
What a great hotel in the perfect location!
Enrique
Quiet and comfortable. Excellent location. Have them valet park your car. So easy and convenient.
Elisabeth
Hotel is very central, close to everything. In 10 to 15 minutes by foot, you reach everything. Several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Very good buffet breakfast at hotel. Many options for every taste. The room was very spacious, and the French balcony was a nice bonus. Fun to do people watching from the balcony! The 3rd floor terrasse was very nice, and Taylor was a good drink mixer. The hotel personnel was simply amazing. Thank you Francesca, Viola, Bernadette and Daniele. You made our stay unforgettable.
Lynda
This is a beautiful boutique hotel. Perfect location. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. They go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Room very clean and well maintained. We stayed for ome week.
James
Great location. Valet parking was a snap. Room was big and comfortable. We had a room with a veranda. It was a great spot to watch sunset over the water.
Kara
Lovely view from our balcony. Cute little rooftop bar. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Delicious simple breakfast and awesome coffee. Perfect location.
Annette
Nice staff. Lovely rooms with nice happy hour and breakfast. Beautiful view of water from our room. Great location but difficult parking. Great walking location.
Stan
Staff was delightfully welcoming, attentive and friendly.
nancy
The room was immaculate. Airport shuttle was very convenient. Breakfast was perfect. Staff was amazing
Pat
The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. From check-in, wine on the terrace to the breakfast in the morning, we were given first rate service. The reception staff, Francesa and Bernadetta, suggested wonderful restaurants and facilitated the arrival transportation from the airport and departure support for our rental car to set us on our way to enjoy the rest of our tour around Sicily. Great way to start our adventure!!
Louise
I cannot praise this hotel highly enough. Beautiful setting and large bedrooms. There is a welcome drink along with complimentary water/tea/coffee in the room.
The staff were exceptional, friendly and incredibly informative.

Great location , Great staffs
Martin
Highly recommend this little hotel. We had such a great stay. The hotel is in a very central position in Oritigia. Great breakfasts and a very comfortable room with a balcony looking over one the the main pedestrian streets, but best of all was the team at the hotel who couldn't of been more helpful and welcoming. We hope to return some day.
Olexiy
Fantastic staff and location!
We will stay again when we return to Ortigia!

Patricia
Staff was great, the room was charming and the breakfast was the best in Italy! There was street noise in the later evening as we were trying to sleep. We are not party people. The arrival and parking situation was unclear as this was our first Ortigia trip. I thought that we had arranged for someone to park our car. We had to walk our luggage in to the hotel with no where to park leaving someone with the car and police officers telling us we could not stay there then drive to a public parking and pay there. We needed help to find the hotel property and this took lots of texts.
Paula
We really enjoyed our stay at Palazzo Gilistro. The location was perfect. Right on one of the main streets
Clare
Staff excellent- friendly, polite, helpful. Fabulous location, right in the middle of Ortigia but hotel itself an oasis of calm. Family room very spacious and lovely. Breakfast buffet standard/good. Terrace bar nice to have but small with limited opening - still can’t believe they don’t know what a limoncello spritz is, when it’s so popular elsewhere - but tried hard to accommodate. In summary we were very very happy of our choice of hotel in Ortigia.
Luca
Very great location and the staff are very friendly and nice! The rooftop terrace was nice as well. The room was spacious, the washroom was big. Overall was great!
Brian C
Amazing staff and perfect location!
We would absolutely stay here again. Everything was fantastic. Service is exemplary and the location is perfect. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We were leaving before breakfast so they offered to pack us a breakfast box to go, which was a nice touch and was perfect for our train ride. Our sea view room was amazing. You should stay here!
Donna
Can’t wait to go back!!!!
If I could give this hotel 10 stars, I would!
Beautiful location, ease of getting in, safe and secure with someone always at the door. Roomy and beautiful room with a wonderful breakfast included. Bernadetta and Francesca were beyond lovely and helpful! Grazie, Donna and Kevin

Photos of the rooms really don't do them justice - spacious, comfy rooms.
The front desk recommended a local restaurant that was superb and welcome drinks on the patio were enjoyed. We love ortigia!

Convenient and comfortable hotel in Ortigia
We will definitely stay in this property again. Very friendly and helpful staff! Good size suite. Has an elevator and 24 hours reception. We sleep well although situated at the tourist street; not noisy. Love the convenient; attractions and restaurants are just 1 -10 minutes away.

This place is amazing and lives up to the exceptional reviews it gets. The room was huge by both European and American standards. It is right in the heart of Ortigia and convenient to everything.
I suggest that you do not try and find a place to park. We used the valet parking place they suggested and we're glad we did.
The people at the front desk were very helpful and the breakfast buffet was amazing. It is very safe, clean and the overall service was superb. I would definitely recommend this place and would certainly stay again.

Stayed 3 nights here with 3 travel companions. We had a family room which was perfect. The building is beautiful and in the heart of Ortigia. The staff were amazing and so very helpful with directions, excursions, and information. The breakfast had many choices and the ladies were lovely. This was a great boutique hotel and I highly recommend it.

Excellent location in the heart of Ortigia. Very friendly and responsive staff. Good breakfast with plenty of offerings. Lovely terrace overlooking one of the busy streets. Parking is best done by valet at 30 Euros/day but works very well.

Love this hotel!
My favorite hotel on my whole trip through Sicily. Charming hotel in a perfect walkable location. So much to see, do and eat right outside the door. My room had 2 balconies, was spacious, so clean. Super comfortable bed and pillows. So quiet at night. Great breakfast buffet. Wonderful variety, great coffee. The staff at the front desk are so friendly and helpful. Nice hot shower too!

Great place to stay in Ortigia
The hotel has a very good position in Ortigia. The room was well furnished, roomy and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
I would be very happy to stay there again and thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Travel tip: you cannot get to the hotel by car. There is a valet parking service which allows you to drop off in Piazza Archimede, about 20m from the hotel.
The alternative is a public car park some distance away.

Our stay was lovely. The small hotel was located steps from the Duomo in an old family home later converted into a charming and comfortable boutique hotel. The staff was extraodinary and made our stay special. Don't miss the amazing breakfast prepared onsite. And the barrista will make your coffee just as you like it!

A beautiful find
We absolutely loved this small hotel. It’s perfectly placed in Ortigia for everything. It has beautiful rooms. We had a large terrace overlooking the sea and views of Etna. The bed was super comfy with lovely soft sheets. The room was clean and the shower worked well. Nothing to complain about. The staff were especially helpful in every way. The breakfast was typically Italian with nice cakes and croissants fruit and ham and cheese etc.

Beautiful stay in the center of Ortigia!
Beautiful hotel, right in the center of Ortigia! So close to the sights and restaurants, as well as 5-10 minute walk to the ocean views. Everyone we interacted with from the hotel was so helpful, and the room we got on the top floor was very comfortable with a balcony that was perfect to watch sunsets! We also had a rental car and they helped make that stress-free with the valet service option they arranged as well. Would definitely stay here again.
Sara

It’s was way beyond our satisfaction and our suite was the best by far. Excellent service and staff and beautiful breakfast too
Lizbeth
ily run hotel. A very different experience with 3 dogs and peacocks roaming freely. Very friendly animals. It was fun watching the donkey and pigs eating their slop this morning. Rooms are large but structure very old and dirt road very rough when approaching property. Enjoyed some from usual!

They didn’t have electricity.

Lovely 4 night stay in hotel Gilisto, room was delightfully quirky, first time we have had a full size pool table in our room. Breakfast was substantial and yummy. Hotel right in the heart of the action in Ortega. Don’t hesitate to book.
Jeff
The location was fantastic, in the heart of Ortigia with a secure front door and someone at the front desk 24 hours. The breakfast was fantastic, the rooms a great size and very comfortable but what really made this property stand out was the customer service - so friendly and helpful, would stay there again in a heartbeat!

We loved our stay! The staff and owner were so helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and our room was clean and comfortable. It was in a great area of the city and we could walk to everything we wanted to see. We had a sea facing room and it was nice to sit out on the balcony in the evening. We would stay again!

Great service !!!!
When they say ‘people’ make the difference this hotel is a perfect example! Extra friendly team made our stay in Ortigia great. Receptionists and breakfast buffet team were excellent! Rooms were very clean too! Only downside: the bar next to the hotel is lively until late, other than that, all super!

Delightful Palazzo in the heart of Ortigia
In Syracusa - - Ortigia, a lovely small hotel with a warm friendly staff, so helpful, that makes a fun place even better. Right in the midst of the main backstreet - walking corridor, you can exit the Pallazo and go to the Duomo, Arethusa's oasis, and the Diana fountain... All within steps. Delightful visit in every way.
Vanessa
My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful 3-night stay at Palazzo Gilistro in June.
The staff were so friendly and helpful, the room was fab and house keeping did such a beautiful job every day. Breakfast was delicious.
Palazzo Gilistro is in the perfect central location, just a few minutes walk from the Cathedral of Syracuse with an abudance of restaurants, shops and bars all in walking distance.
Despite it being in the centre of town, our room was up high above the hustle and bustle and was lovely and quiet for bed time!
If we had one suggestion, It would be to make better use of the great communal roof terrace - a bar up there would be perfect!
We will definitely recommend Palazzo Gilistro to our friends and family and would love to return one day!

Our favorite hotel of our entire trip throughout Sicily. Great location, wonderful room, very nice breakfast and the most friendly and helpful front desk team. They went above and beyond in making us feel welcome and making suggestions for places to visit and things to do during our stay. WiFi and air conditioning were really good as well. I would highly recommend this hotel.
