The staff were helpful, the room was inviting, and the location was excellent for going around town. Lots of restaurants in the area and not far from any of the major sites we wanted to see. The air conditioning worked well, the bed was comfortable, and the room was quiet. All great for a good night’s rest after a long day of site seeing. Would definitely recommend to friends and family going to Siracusa.

When we arrived we were told that our room would be ready within an hour which we were very happy about. Upon our return however, the room wasn't ready, and we were offered another room which we accepted. This room hadn't been cleaned so we were then offered another room which was being cleaned but nearly finished. The cleaner didn't seem to appreciate that we had been brought in but wasn't there for long. The toilet also wasn't working, and so a repair man came in to sort it, again whilst we were waiting. If we knew this we would have just waited as the room we booked was alot nicer and bigger. We were only there for 1 night so we didn't really want to make a fuss but we did feel like we had been given an inferior room to the one we requested. The room was clean, but the furnishings obviously don't get maintained very often as they were very dusty and old. The location was great as it wasn't far to walk to all the major sites/station, and the person on the reception desk was pleasant even if the room we were given didn't meet expectations. The breakfast in the morning was fine just quite basic, but generally standard like many hotels across Europe. We were offered to have a taxi booked for us however and the driver then charged us 20 Euros for a 5 minute journey. He claimed he had no change. Usually booking taxis through the hotel is quite reliable but in this case it wasn't. We were allowed to leave our bags in reception however which helped us.

Nice hotel close to Ortigia.

A family house converted to small hotel about 20 years ago. High decorated ceilings in the house, bedrooms are in a newer wing. Very clean all through, very friendly staff especially Annaliese(?), very helpful all round. Hotel in on the main road towards the island of Ortigia, about 400 metres away which is the old part of the city full of narrow street and alleys with dozens of cafes and restaurants and the usual gift/souvenir shops. Everybody enjoying themselves and no-one pushy which was nice. Great city and excellent hotel in just the right location.

Budget hotel close to centre

A good budget hotel that provides a sound overnight experience but no more. The only peculiarity was breakfast started at 8 because that was when the staff arrived back at work which meant no one was at the desk earlier than 8. I had to leave the key in the room when I left before 8. The main door was also shut at 8 in the evening although you could let yourself back into the hotel with a key. But I liked the fact that unlike a lot of these small budget hotels, Piccolo had a courtyard where you could relax on sofas rather than have to sit in your room if you didn't want to go out every night. Staff OK, and breakfast the usual passable fare you always get from this type of budget hotel.

Lacking acoustic separation

Siracusa is a very popular town for tourists so you're not going to get the same value for money here as elsewhere.

The hotel is well located just 5 minutes outside the old island.

Unfortunately, there's no acoustic separation between rooms beyond the plaster board. I could hear furniture moving, footsteps, toilets flushing, etc.

The room was a little dated, especially the bathroom.

did the job

Stayed in June 2016.
Location is good near the centre, the look of the hotel is fine, it was clean and did the job for the night but nothing else:
The plumbing in the toilet needs some work, the pipes rattled like an old truck exhaust pipe every time upon flushing, I bet the neighbours weren't amused either.
Also, at the time of my stay there was some painting going on and the smell of paint and dissolvent in the corridor was heavy, almost inebriating in a hot summer day.
Finally, the rooms could do with a simple mosquito net fitted on the windows.

Great location with everything in walking distance

Ortigia is lovely to walk, lots of twisting narrow streets with little Café bars and Trattatoria. The famous Puppet theatre is among the lanes and is great fun, book a show. Everyone seems friendly and lots of people have some English. There's a great food market and public transport is easy to use. Bus and Rail terminal is ten minutes walk from the hotel. A trip the the Catacomba di Santa Lucia was easy and interesting with a quided tour. The Parc Arciological was a waste of 10 euros (each) the Greek theatre being converted into a modern theatre with lighting banks, modern staging and the original seating covered with temporary wooden seats. The Tomb of Archimedes was inaccessible as was much of the site. You couldn't really wonder about. Great boat trip across the bay and round the caves.

In one direction the archaeological park (magnificent), museum and Catacombe di San Giovanni (impressive in scale) are within walking distance (if fit) - just head for the wig-wam (the modern cathedral which is visible for at least 20 miles) whilst in the other direction and slightly closer is Ortegia, the historic centre of Siracusa. The local electric buses are an alternative transport bus No 2 for the archaeological park area and if in Ortegia bus no. 1 to return to the hotel Both routes are circular. The hotel is less than 500m from the Catania and Catania airport bus terminus and the train station is a similar distance away.

No tea facilities, no fridge or minibar in the room. Small terrace with a few tables for you to use. Wifi connection was patchy at times (thick walls!) but generally worked. Breakfast isnt fancy with little choice but always fresh bread, a couple of cakes, croissants so value for money, good coffee and friendly service.

Nice location, good hotel, parking a problem

We really liked the hotel location, the hotel itself, the rooms, the breakfast, and the staff. What we didn't like was the parking situation--the Hotels.com description states, \"Free parking is available onsite.\" That was partially true--the hotel staff said there were 2 parking spots in front of the hotel on a first-come basis. In my opinion though, 2 parking spots for a whole hotel does not merit the description. Parking is a problem in this area. Thankfully, at the time of our visit the city did not have a contract with a towing service to enforce parking rules so we were able to park near the hotel. But if you can find a hotel that truly has parking for guests, I would recommend that option.

Straightforward and spacious on a budget

We really enjoyed our stay at the Piccolo hotel. The room was sparsely decorated but all the furniture was substantial (not Ikea or cheap contemporary Italian style). Our room was clean and larger than I expected for the value price we paid. It is 4 blocks in from the bridge to Ortigia, which is convenient since most of the fun stuff to do in Syracuse is on the island. When we got into our room I noticed that 2 lightbulbs needed replacing and they fixed this within a few hours. The breakfast options were ample but not exactly high quality - watery American style coffee and cheap mortadella were disappointing. This wasn't terribly important to us anyway as we were more interested in getting out and expected that for the budget rate we got that breakfast wouldn't be fancy. Instead, we loved going to a cafe called Mondilo down the street for cappuccinos and savory morning pastries. Overall we were very pleased with our stay at the hotel and found the service thorough, appropriate and warm.

Not great overall.

At first glance, the room looks fine, but you don't have to do a Hotel Inspector style search to spot the mould in the shower cubicle, the rusted shower hose and the thick dust above the bathroom door lintel. There was also a thick layer of dust over the bedside table lamp and electric heater. Towels and opened soap were changed every day, but resources should be targeted in cleaning properly and perhaps updating a bit. Breakfast was disappointing. There is a large bowl of fresh fruit, but the plums are frozen solid, which then chills the rest of the fruit. The \"long\" coffee in thermos flasks is undrinkable, but you can ask for capucchino or espresso. Lots of hard boiled eggs available, but these are obviously cooked well in advance as we left at 7.00am on our departure morning, and no signs of life from kitchen, or indeed anybody to check out with. Red carpet runner from lobby could do with a thorough beating and clean. It looks as if a lot of money has been spent in making the breakfast and lounge area look good, to the detriment of the rooms. On the plus side, very quiet in the evening, so no problem sleeping. Parking isn't free, and not plentiful. When we went, parking was available because there was a dispute between the local council and the company operating the parking.

Well situated and good value for a short stay

The hotel is well situated, being just a short walk from Ortigia. Entrance is through a lovely, old courtyard. We stayed in a standard double room, which was fairly small but ok. There were a few problems, such as very few coathangers and less than adequate storage for clothes, which we didn't raise with staff because we weren't staying long enough for them to be issues. (All were easy and cheap to correct. Our fault for not raising the matters or the hotel's for not attending to them in the first place? Take your pick.) Breakfast was fine, although the topping-up of things like hot water and juice could have been better. Overall, the hotel was good value and quite adequate for a stay of 2-3 nights.

Well-located and quiet

I enjoyed my 4 night stay at Casa Mia, which is very good value. It is convenient for exploring Ortigia (a 10 min walk to the East), the ruins of Neapolis (a 20 min walk or easy bus journey to the North) and for making day trips by train from the rail/bus stations which are a 5 minute walk to the West. Although on a main road, the rooms all face internal courtyards and my room was very quiet.

My room (for single use) was in fact a double on the first floor. It was large, with a high ceiling, and a long narrow bathroom (with not much space to put things). Furnished with a traditional wooden wardrobe and an ornate and impressive bed headboard, there was disappointingly no chair in the room, nor any desk or table at which one could write (although there were 2 circular bedside tables). The double bed comprised 2 single mattresses on a metal frame which clanked a bit whenever I turned. The room got very warm: there was an air conditioning unit which was only moderately effective when it worked, and it broke down on my second day. I reported it and it was fixed but then it broke down again. It was comfortable sleeping with the window open, but this would have been a bigger problem in the summer. There was an external shaded terrace with tables and chairs which I used to write etc.

I almost gave a '5' rating overall, but the minor room problems narrowly tipped it to a 4.

I recommend day trips by train to the wonderful baroque cities of Noto and Ragusa.

Not what it was billed to be, but inexpensive.

The room was adequate. However our room had no windows that could be opened and still be secure, it overlooked an interior area between the building but someone could walk into our room from that area. The rooms in the courtyard had no windows and there was only the door that opened to the courtyard. The description we read was that the rooms were decorated with antiques, but I would not call 'old furniture' antiques.

Great base for exploring Syracuse and beyond

I would recommend a stay here: great location being 5 minutes from the train/bus station and the main sights; clean, large and comfortable rooms; and friendly service. The only complaints were the lack of TV (didn't miss it, but it was stated as an inclusion on hotels.com) and wifi access only working in the hotel lounge. However, these were only small things and it was a comfortable and good value base for this destination.

Best Little B&B in Great Location

Great location, well run very welcoming B&B. Very good service, we had an apartment. Great restaurant nearby La Spigola, a must for the best meal & great value. Lovely local lavanderia helped us out, run by American couple. Close to Ortigia and about 20 mins easy walk to ruins north of town. A must stay B&B. Highly recommended.......Massive bathroom!!

Pleasant, great location

We could not have expected more in a bed and breakfast. It's just blocks from Ortigia (and without the luxury room rates). It's a 20-minute walk to the train station and a few minutes more to the archaeological park.

Good location & in-room free Wi-fi

Good location, very close to the Ortygia area (10 min walking distance). In-room free Wi-fi was very good - fast and reliable. But the toilet was too old and not properly cleaned so that smelt a bit.

Casa Mia Siracusa - the perfect B and B

My stay at Casa Mia was perfect - it was a hidden oasis between the station and the old town. A perfect location for visiting the Greek amphitheatre, museums and the sights of Ortygia. My room looked newly fitted and was very comfortable, with an excellent bathroom. The staff could not have been more helpful and helped to make this a special holiday for me. Highly recommended.

Very charming hotel

The hotel is conveniently located between top tourist sights. Breakfast spread was very good compared to other Italian hotels we've been at. Friendly service but there is no 24 hr service. We wanted to check out early to catch an early bus in the morning but there was no one around until after 8am. Besides that, our stay there was excellent and the atmosphere of the hotel was very charming.

Piccolo hotel Casa Mia - homely hotel in Siracusa

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights on our trip through Sicily and we liked this hotel the most of all the hotels we stayed in. It felt like being in a family home. Staff was very friendly, hotel and hotel rooms looked really nice. When we go back to Siracusa we will definitely stay here again.

So much more than a 2 star!

We we really pleasantly suprised by it all. Immaculate and stylish rooms, really friendly and helpful staff, great terrace area and breakfast areas and location. Just 3 minute walk takes you to Ortygia, and a 20 minute walk or short bus ride will take you the other way to all the major archeological sites in Siracusa.

Definately stay in this hotel, we would return!

Perfect for a two-night visit, not luxurious but a pretty comfortable room for a family of four and very friendly service. A 5-minute walk to the sights on Ortygia, 15 mins walk to the Archaeological Park (amphitheatre etc).

great little gem

pros - very convenient; short walk from the bus terminal - about 5 min. Walkable to the archeological area (amphitheatre and ruins) - about 20 min, and to the main town, Ortygia - about 10 min. Spacious room. Lovely character to the place; breakfast can be inside or on the terrace. Computer with internet access available for guests to use. Lovely staff.

cons - bathroom has modern facilities but feels a little dated.

Would definitely recommend staying there.

Picolo Hotel Casa Mia worth it

This was a great hotel for the money and location. Very clean, roomy, airy, friendly, and private. The hotel also puts out an excellent spread for breakfast. I highly recommend this hotel for visits in Siracusa.

The perfect in-betweener

The family run hotel is located in a perfect location (in my opinion) - in between Ortygia and the Parco Archaeologico della Neapolis. It is also less than 10 minutes walk from the train and bus station. More importantly, the room was clean. Although there arent as many restaurants in the surrounding area like Ortygia has, Ortygia is only less then 10 mins walk away (good way to work out a heavy dinner!). Good budget choice and would recommend the hotel.
