Reviews of Antico Convento Dei Cappuccini 4 stars

The property and the staff were excellent without exception.

There is no criticism

Really enjoyed this place and the price was reasonable for how nice the experience was!

We chose this accommodation knowing the rooms may be small and simple as a tradeoff for staying in this wonderful historic former convent. Great old-world charm was left intact but still offers modern conveniences. We enjoyed the short tour Stefano gave of the property. Breakfast had plenty of choices and the dinner we had was not only delicious but beautifully presented. You will step out of the door into a gorgeous public garden with sitting areas and a fountain. The garden is beautifully lit at night. At the far end, garden gates open to a short walk into the lovely town center.

Only negative was no on-site parking but we were able to drop our bags at the reception desk and luckily find free parking about 5 minutes away.

The location and the way the old convent was modernized to fit expectations of a modern clientele. It kept the old charm adding new confort.

Everything was great of course the rooms are small as they are made of old monks cells but it pays off with the feeling that you are sleeping in an old convent and in the center of town in a beautiful city garden and overlooking the nature so also very quiet.

Amazing property. Quite unique. But comfy none the less.

We had issues with the air con in both rooms. And it was quite warm in Ragusa.

The manager and staff were exceptionally gracious and helpful

Valet parking. I have a disability.it

A truly beautiful hotel in an idyllic public garden setting. We were checked in by the delightful Stefano, who took the time to show us around the property in spite of juggling some ongoing events. The rooms have been very well converted from the original monks' cells, were well maintained and spotlessly clean. Breakfast in the original refectory was splendid. We were genuinely sad to leave here after our two nights.

There was no comfortable setting in the convent garden - possibly moved to accommodate the many events and functions the hotel is ideally suited for? We just moved to a bench in the public garden, which wasn't a hardship. Free on-street parking is a pot luck affair.

Ragusa is a beautiful town.

The hotel told us to park in a parking lot because it would be “safest” for our car, only to learn next day our car was towed away by the police and we had to pay 200 euros to have it released. The hotel owner did not accept this was their mistake, when everybody we asked in Ragusa told us, after the fact, that it was known not to leave your car in that lot that day. Shame on the hotel owner, who has inexperienced staff and does not feel responsible for such a mistake.

Breakfast- good

Beautiful old monastery/convent in a beautiful park on the edge of old Ragusa. Excellent service from very friendly and helpful staff. A great base to explore Ragusa and the rest of Montalbano country from.

We stayed at Antico Convento dei Cappuccini and really enjoyed the beautiful location – right in the old town and next to a lovely public park, which also has a play area for kids. It was a unique and peaceful experience to stay in a former convent, full of charm and history.

The rooms are basic, but that’s as expected and in line with the pricing. Some parts of the property seem to be in need of renovation soon. Dinner was okay, but nothing special. Overall, a nice stay in a very special setting.

Very clean & quiet room at the end of town. The hotel/convent is located in the beautiful public garden. Helpful front desk served us coffee & called a taxi for us in the early morning to get us to the bus station. Nice having a 24hr staff.

Shower wand on hook on side of shower, no over head or wall attachment.

Beautiful, peaceful place with very friendly and helpful staff who went that extra mile to help out.

Nothing

Beautiful building. Was a convent. Lots of character rooms were a little small. Great location.

A little larger room.

Staff were very helpful, beautiful setting.

It could have been a little more comfortable in the communal areas and a couple of outside seating areas with chairs (out of the wind) would have been appreciated.

For us, this hotel was a delight. A quiet, converted convent in a lovely quiet part of town. The room was clean, large and peaceful; the bathroom was well-appointed. Decorations and appointments in the room were very simple - do not expect 5-star luxury, but cleanliness and simplicity.

We really enjoyed this hotel. For some people, the simplicity of the furnishings might seem too basic - for us it was great.

Charming

Shower was a little awkward

Breakfast had a healthful variety of foods. Much was homemade.. It was attractively presented in a lovely setting with lots of natural light. Tables and food table were conveniently located for carrying food. Hours provided ample opportunity to eat a leisurely breakfast.

There was nothing to dislike.

Very nice staff and pretty location. The hotel is in gardens at the edge of the old town so it is very quiet and charming. Very short walk to the heart of the old town. Staff was very nice and the breakfast was good. We also ate at the hotel and the meal was good and the setting nice: We ate in the refectory room of the convent, which was special.

The rooms are small and plain. They are the old cells of the convent. Nothing wrong with them and in fact that was a special part of the stay; just know that the rooms are spare and small.

Very friendly and welcoming staff willing to help on all matters. Old historic building, beautiful setting.

Rooms/bed are small and simply decorated but everything is there, kettle, good heating, good bed.
