Palazzo Gilistro is a lovely boutique hotel in the heart of ortigia. The bridges to Siracusa are about a 5 min walk away while from Gilistro nothing in Ortigia is more than 10 minutes away- most cafes, restaurants, the harbour and the historical sites are within 5 minutes or less (cafes and resturants surround Gilistro). The train station and the bus station are about a 15/20 minute walk away. The rooms are beautiful light and airy while public areas are tastefully decorated. There is also a terrace to have a drink which is a lovely space although it was a bit cool to use when I stayed. My room was spotless. Breakfast is extensive- there are very healthy choices (nuts, fruit yogurt etc), sweet options (croissant, biscotti, cakes and muffins), cheese, bread and cold meats etc. Wonderful coffee and company from the ladies working in the breakfast room. There are some especially lovely people working at the hotel who make guests feel very welcome. I would recommend Palazzo Gilistro to anyone.

Great location close to shops, cafes, Duomo. Taxi can stop about 150m away (which is quite close, considering!). I loved the size of the room and the shower, airconditioning worked, internet was stable and available everywhere. There is an elevator for your bags. My room had a wardrobe with lots of hanging space and coat hangers. Breakfast was very nice - many choices and lovely coffee. I found both the breakfast room and my own room very nice and clean Staff contacted me by whatsapp to sort out arrival time (all of that was done in English too!). They were really friendly throughout the whole process of booking, arriving, check-in and during the stay.

Where to begin! Our room was the terrace was lovely as it meant you could have down time in the room but still be in the sunshine. The staff were incredible. They were very hospitable and they went above and beyond to give so many local recommendations. The location was perfect, right in the hotspots. And you couldn’t hear anything at night as you were trying to sleep which was perfect. Good options at breakfast even though it was a boutique hotel (e.g. gluten free and veggie). The hotel helped us organise taxis which was really useful.

Lovely small hotel in a fantastic location. We booked a superior room, that turned out to be more of an apartment and was great. Beautifully decorated, comfortable, spacious and great character. Friendly, helpful staff, great breakfast. Overall we could not have been more satisfied - this hotel was a lovely final destination to our tour of south east Sicily. AirCon was quiet and effective and needed with the temperatures we incurred!

The staff was simply incredible. I organized my birthday weekend here and they delivered on all fronts. The breakfast was delicious and super varied (with so many freshly mad juices), and they catered to all of our allergies and intolerances. The staff even helped me prepare a surprise for all my guests! 10/10 would come back again. The rooms are huge, the location is super central, the terrace is beautiful...Simply brilliant.
