A hotel that tries to be grander than it is. The room was spacious and comfortable but had no window, only a glazed door leading to some steps onto a 'balcony' set into the roof. The breakfasts were adequate but we never did get the coffee we wanted from the machine! The TV in the room broke down on the... More

The Grande Albergo Alfeo had some really positive features, but some really negative ones as well. It was a study in opposites. For example, most of the staff were very cordial and would go out of their way to oblige (one waiter decorated my cup of cappuccino with a lovely heart), but one of the front desk staff was generally...

Perfectly located. beautifully restored building, our room was superbly appointed with a great balcony and fantastic shower.

Situated on a noisy road but windows are well insulated Had dinner there! Food was poor and served on cold plates Poor service in the restaurant, teach your your staff to smile Breakfast is very average! No local food on the bugfet

But here all we got was a curt NO. The reception staff was polite but not very... More

The hotel is conveniently situated for the bus station, Ortygia and Neopolis. The rooms were spacious and everything was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and everything seemed very fresh. They topped up the ham and cheese, as the morning went on and the bread was freshly baked. It was all self-service and there was plenty of choice. The... More

We had a one night stay in Siracusa, arriving by train. It was a short walk from the station to the hotel...but I wish we had printed the directions before leaving home since, after leaving the station, I had to ask four times where the street/hotel was before we were able to find it. Grand Albergo Alfeo is in a... More
