Reviews of B&B Five Rooms

The location was nice in a piazza in the island of Ortygia. And this was all

The facilities were poor No window no balcony although it was in the photo when I booked it! There were attic windows which were too high and practically could not be opened. So for 3 days we did not have clean air in the room When I asked the lady to have another room because this was not what I booked she refused to even check if sth was available. The bed was awful because the mattress was really bad and I could not sleep … The breakfast was not really a breakfast… It was a coffee and sth like croissant or cheespies served in the bar on the bottom of the building. Nothing else. But this is not a breakfast and it should described as this…

Everything

Location is amazing

Breakfast wasn't great, it was served in cafe next door to accommodation. Coffee or fruit juice and one small pastry Only natural light was via skylight so even though location is great you can't see outside the room. Would have liked to be able to dry clothes especially after going for a swim

Great amount of space and excellent location

Nothing

Central location in Ortigia

The room was small, lack of storage space for stays of over 1-2 days, shower didn’t work too well.

The location is great and it's next to a good restaurant. Staff was helpful and friendly.

There was a leakage in the bathroom, but that was fixed after I informed the staff. However, they didn't clean the bathroom floor afterwards. The bathroom has a discreet but constant stink of sewer. I think it comes from the sink's drain. The shower door didn't fully close, which let's water spill on the bedroom floor.

Central location, nice big balcony (but no view from our room), comfortable bed.

Shower is in bedroom and was missing portion of glass so flooded some of the room. Rooms are up a few flights of stairs, not a problem for us but keep in mind.

Location super central

Lack of windows (only skylight)

The location of the house is perfect to walking in Ortigia. It is easy to get the house and easy to go into the room. The owner send us a video how to go into the room. The house is on a nice square, good feeling going home after the little lanes. The parking area at the entrance of the island is ca. 8-10 minutes, but owner could arrange you permisson to drive in until unpacking in case of having more luggage. Room is clean and quiet, beds are comfortable.

The breakfast is in the public restaurant in front of the house and you can get only one piece of croassant. There are only sweets, nothing continental in the restaurant (neither for extra money). In the bathroom there is few showerbath. The reception is open after 9.00 am. (only in the morning) so before that time you couldn't pay for a room and going on.

Location and helpful staff. Daily housekeeping.

Not room on pictures

Very central location in Ortiga, Siracuse. Even though there is no staff onsite the staff quickly replied and assisted when we had an issue with the lock on our door. Clean rooms.

I think they could benefit by adding trash bins in the room (besides the one in the bathroom), more comfortable chairs, drinking glasses, and "do not disturb/do not clean signs" for the doors. The walls are very thin, so you can hear everyone in the halls, including the cleaning staff who was gossiping quiet loud. We really wanted a day to sleep in but it was nearly impossible. I would also note for some that it is only stairs (a decent amount to climb) to all rooms. An additional note is that the included breakfast is actually from the cafe on the ground floor (not associated with the B&B) and is quite heavy or very sweet, with no healthy option (think dense pastries or granita). Moreover the writing on the breakfast coupon isn't the most clear so the restaurant staff doesn't seem to understand that the breakfast (option 2) is inclusive of a pastry, coffee, AND juice. They tried saying it was one or the other but we clarified with the hotel staff the next day and it is all three. Oh and our aircon didn't work, but it was thankfully cool enough that we were fine with just opening the window.

We stayed for 3 nights in room 7. Really liked the location - we were in the "heart" of Ortigia and everything was easy to access. The room was very clean and we enjoyed the breakfast which is in the café next to our building entrance.

The shower cabin was small with no space for shampoo bottles, for example. It gets noisy after 8 a.m. in the morning. Some of the staff in the cafè weren't very polite and we needed to explain a couple of times what the breakfast includes - the coupon says salty piece, coffee, orange juice, but the lady in the café said it is either coffee, or orange juice.

Perfect location to experience all that Siracusa has to offer. Simple breakfast provided in the restaurant next door

Great location, great black out shutters, very good value for money

The mattress was very thin so the bed was not very comfortable, however the rest of the room was good and clean

Great location in Ortigia

Loved the location in the piazza.

The room is beautiful, the view to the Piazza in astonishing and the included free breakfast that you can get from the Café/Restaurant/Bar below is great! Ortigia Island invites you to explore with the many "Area Pedonale" it provides. Breathtaking Views included! Definitely considering the B&B (If available) when returning to Ortigia/Siracusa. Thank you very much!

We really enjoyed the size of the apartment and the view of the balcony of the sea. Great location.

Parking was a little far.

Perfect location within Ortigia, nicely renewed and wooden floor makes homey feeling. The basic breakfast is included in the price but it works well.

Unacceptable that you can pay only with cash or bank transfer (both results extra costs for the guests). Nowadays I think accepting cards is a must for everyone. The employees could not do anything - which is okay, as it is a decision made by the company which operates these rooms.
