It is located in a perfect area, however parking close by is $1.50 an hour. Room was rather small, and shower leaked all over the floor. All common area are unairconditioned, all though each guest room has AC ( they will turn it off when they make up your room ). Breakfast just ok - nothing special. Would I stay there again - probably not as it really is a sweat box.

We had such a lovely room, the private patio was gorgeous with many health plants and panoramic views of Ortigia. We could see the city on the right and the sea on the left. With the wooden table & chairs we had a lovely breakfast out there with a view and we were able to catch a beautiful sunset on our first night without having to leave. The staff made us feel comfortable and welcome, and the room was very clean & quiet. We would absolutely come back again.

We were really fortunate to find a free parking spot right by the hotel where we just left the car for 3 days. Note that the hotel occupies the upper floors of the building. It is well marked, but you have to find the 2 buzzers next to the big wooden door, and press the bottom button to get buzzed in. We loved it and would stay there again.

Excellent little hotel overlooking the water, on the ‘island’ of Ortigia in Syracuse. Very attractive and vibrant area with bars and restaurants etc a short walk. Ortigia does have a ZTL, but the hotel handled the registration (hopefully!), and parking as in most towns and cities is difficult, but we found a free spot by the road outside the hotel.
Room was clean and modern and the breakfast with a good variety of savoury and sweet items was very good. A very enjoyable stay in Ortigia and the hotel.

Location and rooftop view

It’s a perfect location, in the old building, with the roof access, and the breakfast is served there, with a view! — but the receptionist’s attitude, the noise of the breakfast preparation at 7am and the hot water in the shower changes unpredictably.
So just be prepared, don’t annoy the receptionist about the elevator (he will express clearly and long enough how wrong and stupid you are) and you’ll be fine.

Very comfortable room, although we were confirmed months prior for a sea view room and told on arrival that they were all taken! Breakfast was good and varied and with a nice view. We were most disappointed by the lack of help on our arrival. We called ahead and were told they would help us park but the young girl at the desk basically told us to go look for parking - which was non-existent. We parked in a very expensive hourly lot until the next day when the much more helpful and knowledgeable Daniele “rescued us.”HE was wonderful.
Were we to return, we would not stay in this loud touristy area, but rather the other, older side of Ortigia.

The bathroom was smelly due to faulty sewage drain installation; smells made their way into bathroom and room. Really bad. We raised this with the woman at the reception and she never came back to us with an answer. Overall a bad experience. The only noce thing was the breakfast at the terrace but, truth be told, it did not make up for the awful smell at our room. Our room should be closed!

Great location, very good room and great breakfast

Located along the water at the entrance to the Ortigia island, this was a great location for visiting both the old area (Ortigia) and sites on the Siracusa \"mainland\". Our room was clean and comfortable, though a bit small, the view over the water was great, and breakfast buffet wonderful.

Great waterfront location

Nice waterfront location. Ortigia is ideal for a day trip. Castle is great. Parking is not easy. Some great restaurants all within walking distance. Serivice / reception was excellent and made some great restaurant recommendations. Breakfast on roof terrace was great. Bed very hard and shower overflowed but overall great location.

A no brainer to stay at, would definitely return

Location, service and cleanliness made this great value for money, and difficult for me to find faults other than a slightly uncomfortable mattress.

We loved this charming hotel, just on the island of Ortigia. Our ensuite room was great, we had a balcony looking out on water and fishing boats, and a kettle and fridge, which were much appreciated. Breakfast was delicious and eaten at the top of the building looking out on the bay: bread, cheese, ham, eggs, different fruit, cereal, cakes, cannoli, yoghurts, ricotta cheese, bruschetta, etc. was served. Tasting prickly pear fruit was interesting.
The staff were always friendly and we experienced extra touches like a bottle of Prosecco and nibbles in our room on my husband's birthday (not announced by us!) and bowls of fruit another afternoon. They also arranged taxis to and from the airport.
If we went back to Syracuse we would definitely stay there again.

Great location
Friendly staff that speak English well for those of us that don't communicate easily in italian
The bathroom was the only part that disappointed. Whereas it's nicely decorated, it's annoying to have yo wait 5- 10 mins for the water to get warm enough for a shower and the drain didn't work well enough, so the bathroom flooded easily after a shower if we were not careful.
The balcony upstairs is great for a drink and sunset view after a long day of touristing

Hotel well positioned

We arrived in rain so bit difficult to find, reception on 2nd floor. Had to go through 2 Security doors plus lift that required your finger on the button all the way up and down, it was faster to take the stairs.

Ortgian Bargain

l’Approdo is a comfortable small hotel wonderfully located on the island of Ortigia. The rooms are simple, clean and small, but the hotel is conveniently located within easy walking distance of all of Ortgia’s shopping and historic sites. The rooftop breakfast deck provides a wonderful view of the canal and harbor, and the breakfast is the equal of others we have had at much more expensive hotels in Italy. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very nice place to stay, n good location

We stayed here for 4 nights in September. The hotel (Bed and Breakfast only) is conveniently located at one end of Ortygia island, just across the bridge from mainland Syracusa, so it is easy to locate if you are driving there yourself, or it's a short taxi ride from the station. The hotel is situated right on the waterfront. It is comfortable and clean, the staff are very nice and the breakfast is very good! The old town of Ortygia is a beautiful place to explore on foot, with many good restaurants and shops. The nearest car park costs E2 per hour, but there is a car park a few minutes walk away in Syracusa which costs E10 per day.
The weather was still hot while we were there. The room had air conditioning, but the unit might be too noisy for some people to leave it on overnight. We switched it off at night but left the window open, so occasionally there was some noise at night, or from boats going out early in the morning, but this wasn't really a problem.
Overall we were very pleased and enjoyed our stay.

Great apartment in the ultimate location!

We stayed at L'Approdo delle Sirene for two nights and had the best time.
Its a great B&B in an amazing location. We had a small balcony on our room which was great, but the real winner is the roof terrace which is open all the time and adjacent to the breakfast room so that can be taken there too.
All staff were very friendly and professional. If we do head back to the area I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Hotel with spectacular views of the port

The staff were really accommodating and friendly. They worked around our antisocial flight times. The room was beautiful and had everything you could need. The highlight was the breathtaking views of the port over breakfast. Breakfast was varied and included all the typical pastries and a selection of healthier options. The hotel is ideally located and we were able to walk to most of the main sites from it.

Great place and great location. Stayed in room 2 which could do with some maintenance and upgrade. Air conditioning unit leaking on floor and causing mold on the wall. Shower head needs replacement.
Personnel at the hotel could not be better. Rooftop breakfast is a great start to the day. Great location to walk the old town

Stayed for two wonderful nights. Location is perfect if with a car, close to the bridge not going into ZTL and <5 min walk from the large public overnight parking lot. Room is very spacious and appear to be recently renovated with nice balance between modern touch and old charm. Shower/bathrooms are very modern and clean. Breakfasts were at balcony with the view of marina, which made it more special. Nice assortment of home-made apple pastry and ricotta cheese. The host speaks English very well and was very helpful guiding us regarding driving and parking. Overall, wonderful stay and highly recommended.

What a lovely, hotel with a fabulous breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was extremely clean and thoughtfully laid out. One piece of feedback is the TV signal was a little weak - I think a booster may be required.

Nice hotel centrally located. If you do reserve make sure you request a sea view room directly from the hotel.. I only asked at time of booking thru expedia and didn't get the message so it was an attic room which was not what we wanted. Unfortunately they were booked solid and couldn't accommodate our request. It would have been perfect then. Parking is within a short walk.

The B&B is on the first floor of a building in Ortigia, facing the port. Our balcony overlooked the port, and we could watch boats coming and going from our room (occasionally a little noisy). It's an easy walk to the bus stop to catch a ride to the Siracusa museum and Greek theater. The room was large and comfortable, and the breakfast, on a sea view terrace, was plentiful and delicious. The staff were friendly and suggested restaurants for dinner.

Great place in hopping area of Ortigia on Sat.nite

Nice, historic place that is easy to find and has a great breakfast and breakfast room. Someone at reception until 8 PM, which isn't always the case with guest houses. IThis part of Siracusa was the place to be on a Saturday night, with locals streaming in. How easy to already be staying here, in a a quiet sort of corner.

Small B&B hotel with good location

This hotel has a good location on the quite embankment of the Ortigia Island, and yet a walking distance from the many historical sites and bustling tourist areas of Siracusa. This small and functional B&B hotel is good for someone who needs a comfortable bed and spends most days outside. Nothing fancy just practical.
Be warned about the airport transport; despite having booked and confirmed the price to Catania airport with the hotel (€80) the taxi driver was very unprofessional and tried to extort from us €100, which was an unpleasant end to our stay in this gorgeous town.
