Reviews of Hotel Archimede Ortigia 3 stars

Very friendly and helpful staff. Cristina and Giuseppe - thanks a lot!

It's a typical close to the station hotel. A very good option for people without a car, as it's just around the train station and buses going to Catania. Just around the corner there is a chance to buy freshly prepared pomegranate juice :)

Our room was located in a kind of attic, with not a "standard window", it was quite dark inside. The variety of products offered for breakfast is very limited. No elevator.

Nothing

Everything is old. No elevator. We arrived at

The staff was friendly. Nice restaurant close by.

Very dated, no elevator. Furniture was ancient . Not extremely clean.

Excellent location,near train station and easy to walk to Ortigia

great place in the city centre very close to the railway station, important because of the luggage!

The location is perfect as so close to both train and bus station. Great supermarket 5 minutes walk away. Also close to all major attractions and historical buildings. Staff so helpful and friendly. I would certainly stay again. I extended 4 nights!

I don't have one complaint.

A very short walking distance from the railway and long distance bus station. This is an old style property. Check in was OK and a passport details quickly captured for the registration. €2 city tax payable by cash as the room has already been prepaid. Room was OK. Comfortable bed and bathroom in reasonable condition. I left too early to take breakfast which would have been an extra amount.

I couldn't use the WiFi and the reception said the code on display didn't work! One bathroom niggle was a dispenser for body wash/shampoo would have been better than the hard to tear open sachets. I'd say not the best value for money based on the price paid.

Perfect for money

Friendly staff, central location. Clean, little bit old-fashioned room. Free parking in a front of the hotel.

Heating in the room didn't work, however the staff fixed it well. No breakfast available on 1 January 2025.

We did not have breakfast, but rather went two blocks to a 24-hour cafe, which was perfectly OK for our needs. The hotel's location is excellent: half a block to the central train station, and a few blocks to intercity buses. Walking to the main street, Via Umberto, took a few minutes.

The weather.

I liked the location, primarily because I didn’t have much free time.

Bed was not very comfortable.

It was a return visit and very enjoyable

Before I arrived I informed the hotel that I have osteoarthritis & problems with my spine so needed a room that was easily accessible. I was given the furthest possible room from the entrance with absolutely no facilities & as th hotel only served breakfast, I had to go out every evening to eat. Staff were friendly & polite but although they knew I was struggling & inpain didn’t help me carry anything to my room which was up about 40 steps.

We used the hotel for just one night during our road trip to Sicily. The staff was very kind and since the hotel had no parking, they let us use the space on the street in front of the hotel, which was very much appreciated.
