B&B Globetrotter Siracusa

Two couple exploring Siracusa for the first time. Giovanni was incredibly available and helpful. He had lots of tips about the area, restaurants and things to do. The location is perfect - right over the bridge in Ortygia - so easy access to all the historic sites, eating and drinking and the public transportation in Siracusa. Rooms were fine. Clean and everything worked well. Good breakfast.

We booked here 1 room and another one last minute on the same arrival day. Well this was not a room good even for the owner family member. I do understand the room is tired and old and I wouldn't write any review because of that but since the minimum standards of cleanliness were not there, unfortunately all the travellers have to see this. The room was terribly dirty and so disgusting: Hair on the Shower rug; Dust on the floor; Paper from provious guests inside the bin; Shower so dirty and old; Broken headboard; I wouldn't sell a room like that at all. Plus all the B&B is so noisy at 3am, after having a night out and drunk a bottle of wine and few cocktail with friends and back at in the room around 1am, been woken up by the noise of few local parents having a chit chat down the street and their kids were playing football with a empty bottle of water! So I went to the balcony and asked to stop. Then at 6.30am the garbage truck and after few minutes the delivery to the local shops on the back, woke me up again. Horrible night overall. The rest as old and broken furniture you can see from the pictures. Plus the toilet is stinks as hell. No shampoo or shower gel provided unless you ask the owner. I will definitely not suggest to anyone since I am local and never bring anyone there. After report in the morning obviously I was not expecting a full refund at least for that relic room but not even the owner co-worker face which was not emphatise at all and kind of "I don't care about what you are saying" not even a sorry. So disappointed.

Very nice rooms, right in the middle of the old town. Excellent service.You can leave a mess in your room, go out and find it clean and tidy when you're back. If don't want a breakfast you may be suprised with a coffe from the owner. You can get good hints about nice places to visit and how to reach them. I recommend this hostel because of its atmosphere ,servise and neighborhood. :)
