Pleasant room, good breakfast, good location. On busy main road with some traffic noise. We arrived on a bank holiday and had to park the car about 1km away. Our large external window shutter was very heavy to lift up.

This is a perfect location: close to the rail station and midway between the northern archialogical park and the southern end of Syracuse where the bridges take you over to the old island city. Nicely renovated rooms and a friendly host serving a delicious breakfast. Good advice on restaurants and boat excusrions.
