Palazzo Salomone in Syracuse

Great location.
The location was great. The restaurant magnificent. The chairs could have been more comfortable.

Beautiful modern hotel and beautiful room on 2 floors (sitting room/bathroom downstairs and bedroom upstairs). Great amenities. Only detracting factors are that the room was a bit dark (the hotel is in a narrow alley), and that the bathroom on a different floor than the bedroom is a bit inconvenient at night. The hotel is quite difficult to reach by car (Google maps will send you to an alley where it is impossible to turn or maneuver), so it is best to leave the car in the nearby Piazza Federico di Svevia and arrange for a very convenient valet with the hotel.

We spent a night at this beautiful hotel and loved it! The hotel is located in a pedestrianized part of the island, just a 2 minute walk from where you can get dropped off by car or taxi. Beautiful rooms and excellent quality products! An easy walk to the center of Ortigia itself, as well as to the Castello Maniace (which is a must visit in itself).

Room,staff, food , all very good. . The central atrium carried noise into the room late at night, the restaurant clear up and staff voices were very loud. Someone’s phone also went off in the middle of the night , again these noises woke us.
The only other negative would be the charge for the hot tub at €50 per hour. You can sit on the terrace for free but the hot tub is a charge. I thought it was a little steep.

Wonderful helpful staff. Could not have asked for more from our stay. Perfecto

My recommendations
I think this should be a 4-star hotel. I had a wonderful stay in a junior suite. The hotel is located in the quiet and cosy part of the old town. No traffic noise. I haven't even heard a neighbour.

We love a good luxury hotel because, after a good day of exploring and kicking about, we like to settle in en famille and chill. Palazzo Salomone was a standout for us in our many years of traveling as a family. We took 2 large rooms for 2 adults and 2 kids. They were very different from each other, one in the main building and one across a back courtyard. Both rooms were very clean and well-appointed (as one would expect). The rooms were both 2-levels, with the sleeping area upstairs from the main part taking advantage of the small floor plans of older buildings. The controls in each rooms (heating, lighting, A/C, etc.) were typically Italian: super-modern and a bit confusing, but a little trial and error gets you on the right path. What really makes the difference in properties like this is the staff, and here is where the hotel got 5 stars: We were made to feel 100% at home every minute of the day. The hotel boasts a high-end restaurant basically in the lobby that was crowded most meals, but we were never allowed to feel like we were intruding. Quite the opposite: Cristina made herself our best friend throughout our stay, making sure that our breakfast was amazing and that we had everything we needed. The entire staff was the ideal mix of casual and formal, going above and beyond in every way. It was a superb stay. (Pro tip: We bought 2 puzzles to build while we stayed, and left them behind for others to enjoy when they visit in case of a rainy day. Ask at the front desk…)
