Hotel Gargallo

What guests think

Across reviews, Hotel Gargallo is praised for its central Ortigia location and welcoming staff, with many guests enjoying the included breakfast, while drawbacks include unreliable Wi‑Fi, seasonal or faulty air conditioning, stairs instead of an elevator, and mixed cleanliness.

Rooms often feature historic details, patios or terraces, and comfortable beds, though several guests noted dated furnishings, corridor noise, and compact or slippery showers. Access by car can be tricky on narrow one‑way streets in the ZTL, but the team frequently assists with valet arrangements and drop‑offs. Expect a characterful, central base with warm service and some practical trade‑offs.

Slightly stressful to drop of luggage - one way alley - but otherwise great stay. If you are in a shoulder season trip, the HVAC is centrally controlled, so you will have to adjust to Sicilian temperature preferences ( i.e. on the warmer side).

Hotellet ligger fint til og i den forstand bra utgangspunkt, men etter vi klagde på ar AC ikke virket, bad om et annet rom så ble de fornærmede men ga os et annet rom der AC fungerte, på rommet vi hadde først var det 29 grader på rommet med AC på fullt.

The staff accommodated our need for a quiet ground floor room (my husband sprained both ankles and had very limited mobility). Excellent breakfast and ideal location to explore the town by foot. We highly recommend this small hotel. If you are driving, know the hotel is on a narrow one way street, so you will need your GPS!

Great location in the middle of Ortigia Island, but a little hard to find at first because the streets are confusing. You can drive right up to the entrance and drop your bags, even though it doesn’t look like a real street, then park in the lot for 15 euros per 24 hours. The ticket machine is old and hard to figure out….exact amount in cash only! The hotel staff is very nice, friendly, and helpful. Our superior room was on the ground floor, clean, and fairly spacious. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. Furniture is a little run down and probably should be replaced, or is just the end of the season? Bath towels are great. Breakfast was typical with lots of choices, with great espresso made to order. Hard boiled eggs should have been fresher. We recommend this hotel.

The location was very good and the staff was helpful. Our ground-floor room had a nice little courtyard. Unfortunately, the shower was very slippery and had mold in the grout. I don't think the floors were swept while we were there; probably something that should be done when guests are out walking the town every day. We didn't get to see the rooms in the main part of the hotel, so can't comment on them.

Sono rimasta alquanto delusa dell'hotel: un palazzo antico a mio avviso non significa odore di muffa da non poter dormire, scarsa pulizia e mancanza di attenzione dei particolari. Colazione deludente ,non si può servire la stessa torta alla panna per 3 giorni.Valentina e Denise sono gentili , disponibili, ma forse è la gestione ( non da parte loro ) che va rivista, bisogna investire qualcosa e migliorare. In un hotel non esiste che la reception chiude alle 19, allora chiamiamolo b&b e abbassiamo i prezzi.Non c'è un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo,l'unica cosa positiva è la posizione.Lo posso consigliare solo per questo ,per il resto assolutamente no

Struttura bellissima, ben tenuta e pulizia impeccabile. Le camere sono silenziose e spaziose e piene di comfort. Il personale è gentilissimo (in particolare Maria Teresa che ci ha accolti in maniera strepitosa). Unica pecca (non imputabile all'hotel ma comunque da segnalare) è il servizio di car valet che è comodissimo ma necessita di precisione al momento check out soprattutto se si ha fretta nel partire. Nel complesso la struttura è perfetta in tutto (pulizia,personale,colazione e soprattutto posizione). Grazie di tutto da Roberto e Ornella

There was no hot water in our room . Staff were told but there was no action, only told to turn water on and off , this did not work so no showers were taken. There was written request to not put toilet paper in the toilet !!!. There was a large cockroach in the room . Makes me question how clean the breakfast room was . This was supposed to be a superior room !. Staff were at first understanding but then took on very little responsibility. One of the staff lied to her superiors saying we as usual only complained when leaving . I think this hotel should be avoided and health authorities should be informed to at least inspect this hotel.

Nice stay in this beautiful hotel. Wonderful room with painted ceiling. Good breakfeast but we did not feel welcome to it (have to ask for forks, spoon, and seem to bother when asking). The hotel location is very good, not in the overcrowded parts of Ortigia, but at walking distance of everything. The team can send your car plate to the police to authorize access to ZTL to drop off luggages. Some people went back to their room late in the night and made lot of noise in the corridors.

Overall a charming and very welcoming little hotel. The breakfast was a simple but adequate one. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room was a bit unusual. Wi-Fi was very poor. Shower room was basic. That’s the main negatives dealt with. Overall, it’s a beautiful old building which is perfectly situated right in the middle of Ortigia. Everything is within easy walking distance (if you don’t lose your bearings!!) and given its rating as a three star hotel, it’s fair value for money. I expect we will return to Ortigia sometime and would be quite happy to make Hotel Gargallo our base once again.
