We arrived at the Hotel Gutkowski after a long day of driving in Sicily. While the welcome was warm, the room was disappointing. On a very warm day, the air conditioning was almost non-existant and the room was very simple and not particularly clean. The location is good, particularly if you get a room with a view of the sea.... more

The hotel is located in Ortigia (the old part of Siracusa) right on the seafront (ask for a sea view room!). We had a sea view room in the main part of the hotel. The road, as other reviewers have pointed out, was just outside but it didn’t bother us at all. The hotel has been nicely refurbished in a... more

Positives - incredible sea view from both our room and the communal terrace - great simle decor in our room as well as the lobby, sitting area and breakfast area - wonderful location. Away from many of the other hotels, set in amongst the local homes, but still only a few minute walk to the sights and restaurants - both... more

We didn't have a clue what to expect on arriving here but found a really cool B&B really sympathetically restored in keeping with its history and location. Yes the traffic is a bit of an issue if you have a room at the front and yes it is a pain in the neck to park your car but it is... more

We booked 1 night at the Gutkowski and wished it could have been more after getting there. Fabulous big double bed, and nice bedroom and bathroom overlooking the sea . We were in the annexe and spent a very relaxing hour or so on the beautiful terrace with great views while also enjoying a pretty decent Nero D'Avola that we... more

Breakfast delcious, nice hotel but rooms a little small. Slept in twin room, beds small and metal, close together. Old television-remote did not work. view from room was of an alley which was sometimes noisy. Building work in progress, and walls thin. The stair case was metal and looked like it was being done up, as it had holes in... more

Wonderful little hotel. Very comfortable and clean. Nice breakfast. Great location. Nice for a short break or week-end visit. I strogly advice it! more

Guide books speak well of the Gutkowski, a friend highly recommended it and most of the TA reviews were very positive so we tried to book for two nights. Were only able to get one. We were in the annex building which maybe isn't as good as main building but it was scruffy, dusty and scuffed in many places in... more

A great reasonably priced hotel situated right on the sea front. Friendly welcoming staff. Plain but clean and comfortable rooms. More beach hut chic than 5 star elegance but the beds were comfortable, the showers were hot and powerful and the room was spacious with plenty of storage. There is free safe parking immediately outside the hotel (although if it... more
