Gutkowskino - SIRACUSA

Nice, very kind, excellent cleaning, quiet and comfortable

Hotels of a certain thickness. perfect rooms and fabulous views of the Ionian Sea. Mrs. Paola is very kind and very charming.

Friendly staff and helpful excellent location in ortigia sober and vintage furnishings, pleasant atmosphere breakfast nothing of that. you have to choose between sweet or salty, because they don't offer a la carte breakfast soundproofed rooms, I woke up at 8:00 a.m. from the noises of the cleaning staff. ventilation noises bed with poor quality mattress overall ok

It is already the second time that we return to this charming hotel where you can breathe the history of Ortigia. Located facing the sea, the hotel enjoys a large terrace, ideal for enjoying a drink with a 360-degree view. The breakfast is varied, of excellent quality and very refined, with fresh and delicious local products. Worthy of note is the restaurant, which offers Sicilian cuisine revisited with imagination, unique throughout the area. The service is excellent, with very helpful and attentive staff. A truly unforgettable experience.

Tuesday 14 May 2024 to Tuesday 21 May 2024 We have had an excellent week, despite the slightly cloudy weather for the first few days. However, we enjoyed the surprise thunderstorm on Sunday, as it came out of a clear blue sky. Excellent room and staff, as always. We especially enjoyed meeting the new member of staff, Misha, and bringing him/her pieces of sardines or swordfish back to the hotel in a napkin to eat when he/she woke up and appeared. Tuesday 9 May 2023 to Tuesday 16 May 2023 This is the first time we have been back in over two years and the hotel is busier than ever. There are the same friendly and gracious staff (as always but we have a different room tthis time. However, we love it! The weather was great today (Thursday but the forecast for the rest of our holiday is scattered showers or rain. Oh well! We're English so we will feel right at home. Friday 25 September 2020 to Friday 2 October 2020 These are difficult times. Especially if you have to deal with the incredibly incompetent head office of easyJet. EasyJet? Are they taking the ****? You would have to go a long way to find a worse airline. They make Ryan Air look like a model of professional and customer oriented efficiency. Anyway, there are the same wonderful staff and amenities at Hotel Gutkowski. Breakfast is a little different but all the changes we have seen so far are careful, wise and accommodating. We paid in full (the usual rate for a week plus the city tax of €2.00 per night on Thursday 1 October 2020 as we are being picked up at 8.00 AM tomorrow morning and there is sometimes a short queue at the front desk as people carefully distance themselves from each other. Sunday 5 May 2019 to Sunday 12 May 2019 Same room, same staff, same warm sunshine with not a cloud in sight, same crystal clear water and waves breaking rhythmically on the rocks only a few metres from our hotel. You cannot improve on the perfect holiday so why change anything? Sunday 8 April 2018 to Sunday 15 April 2018 We have stayed at this hotel for a week every spring for a number of years. This is our little secret so I hate to recommend it to you in case it gets too busy! (We LOVE being woken up by the rising sun and the sound of waves crashing on the coast, which is about ten metres from our second floor window. Heaven. Unfortunately, on Monday afternoon the wind dislodged the gigantic television aerial that the neighbour had attached to the side of the hotel so there was a rhythmic banging against the wall of our bedroom every few seconds. We had to be moved (temporarily to a different room while they tried to work out a solution. The staff on the front desk rose to this unusual challenge with the usual combination of professional competence and a positive outlook on the unexpected problems thrown up by life. Sunday 7 May 2017 to Sunday 14 May 2017 We stay at this hotel for a week every spring. Great location, simple rooms, superb breakfasts and the nicest front desk staff you will meet! May 2016 The best location in the world! Facing east so you are woken by the rising sun and the crashing of the waves a few metres away.
