In August everything is overpriced, so this hotel could be a bargain for budget travelers (compared to an average hotel in NY, this one is a palace!).
The hotel is refurbished on a minimum level (floors, furniture, walls but not the windows).
The rooms are clean, but not spotless.
The area is noisy if the windows are open.However, good sleep quality with A/C.
The breakfast is basic.
Free parking in an open space behind the hotel.
The distance from Ortygia is 25 min on foot, but if you have a car you can drive to Ortygia and leave it at the parking Talete for 1euro.
The main negative point is that the hotel has a distinctive smell..... (especially the first room we were shown).
