What guests think

At Caportigia Boutique Hotel, guests consistently praise the central, walkable location near Ortigia and the train station, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable modern rooms with good soundproofing, and a generally clean property with a well-regarded, often varied breakfast.

Some guests report maintenance or wear in certain rooms, occasional small or windowless spaces, and isolated issues like air-conditioning drips or broken fixtures. Facilities feel limited for the price: parking is mostly on-street and can be difficult or valet slow, there is no pool, breakfast may not be included, and the restaurant can be closed even though dinner is praised when available. Best for city explorers who value boutique comfort over resort-style amenities.

Facilities

Parking is mainly on-street nearby; finding a space can take time, and one guest reported very slow valet service. Facilities are otherwise limited for a luxury price point; there is no pool, though there is a rooftop terrace and some rooms with private patios/Jacuzzis.

We enjoyed our stay. Not sure it is a 5 star hotel but definitely 4! The room had high ceilings and a tall window looking on to a courtyard. The bed was comfortable. Everything to Ortigia was within walking distance. The roof top patio was a lovely addition and we enjoyed reading and soaking up some sun .. in November which was lovely. The staff were friendly at reception and the breakfast was decent.. particularly enjoyed the coffee. The one thing that we found rather cheap for a 5 star hotel is the minibar offers water complimentary on the first day but after that there is a charge. When a reputable guidebook strongly says don’t drink the water particularly in Siracusa, due to old pipes… ( there definitely was hard water at this hotel with some iron) then it would have been nice to have had water each day.. included!!

Leider für mein empfinden ist das Hotel zu teuer , es gibt bessere Hotels für weniger Geld in der Umgebung. Nicht mal einen richtigen Pool. Und kein Gepäckwagen. Ich musste mein Gepäck vom Motorrad selber auf das Zimmer tragen.

Very nice boutique hotel within easy walking distance of all the sights in Siracusa (a few blocks from Ortigia island, and 20 minutes or so from the archaeological park). Surprisingly quiet too, despite central location. Reasonably OK finding (free) on-street parking nearby.

The hotel is conveniently located to easily walk places of interest, especially to Ortigia. Although there was no parking around the hotel, it was very easy to walk across to the nearby public parking. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The continental style breakfast had all we needed. Although the room we had was spotlessly clean and comfortable, it was a little tired/worn in parts that I wouldn’t normally expect in a 5*. But overall it was a comfortable room.

O hotel é bem localizado, voce pode ir aos pontos turísticos e à ilha Ortigia a pé. O café da manhã é bom, o quarto é agradável e o atendimento da recepção e no café da manhã é excelente. Os funcionários são educados e muito simpáticos!!! Nao tem estacionamento do hotel mas tem vagas naa rua ao redor e um parking próximo. Vale a pena!

L’hôtel est bien joli. L’accueil très sympa. Les chambres sont très bien. Peu de chambres donc cosy. Le petit déjeuner est très agréable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Le seul bémol qui nous a beaucoup contrariés. Nous avons pris le valet parking à 30€ la nuit. Lorsque nous avons souhaité récupérer notre voiture le matin du départ, nous l’avons attendue 50 minutes. Inadmissible. Et la personne a lâché la voiture au milieu de la route sans la garer.

The staff were lovely and the location is fairly good, however it does not feel like a 5 star hotel - felt a lot closer to 3 stars or maybe 4 stars at a push. It just felt a bit dingy for the price unfortunately, there were lots of dark marks on the wall in the room, unexplained yellow staining in the wardrobe, also noticed some bubbles in the wall in the bathroom so maybe some condensation, and the tap was also really limescaley and needed a good clean. There was also no bath and no other rooms with a bath when we asked, which is not the biggest issue but would've been good if it were clearly stated there were only showers. We were in the junior room which had the bed on a separate floor to the bathroom/living area which wasn't ideal but not the biggest issue overall, just wish that had been clearly specified as the pictures didnt make it look clear that was every room and we were told there were no other options without the separate floor when we asked. The included breakfast was also a bit disappointing. Not really any hot food included (you can get a portion scrambled/fried eggs made to order), everything else is just various cakes and bread which is okay but not really what you'd expect for 5 stars. We ordered from the a la carte menu on one of the days to see if that improved it, but the avocado we received was really underipe and unpleasant so we didn't attempt it again. Not a bad hotel but given the 5 star price point it didn't really deliver

This stay was part of a surprise trip to Sicily for my husband’s 40th. I had high expectations for this hotel given the reviews and the images. Sadly it was a let down. Parking was free street parking, thankfully this was easy. The walk to Ortigia was a simple 10 mins. Beyond that, those were the only real pluses. Our room was right next to the lift (203) and was pretty tired. Mould in the bathroom, peeling paint and not a single mirror in the bedroom. Just a mirror above the sink, so no chance to check your outfit. It also has one of those old fashioned hair dryer units on the wall to dry your hair but is sadly so weak you could be there several days before your hair is dry. We had come from a 4* in Taormina which had basic amenities you come to expect from a hotel - an actual hair dryer, dressing gowns, slippers and a steamer. None of which was present at this hotel. The worst thing though was the constant dripping sound from the air con unit. For me this wasn’t the soundtrack to a good night’s sleep. Sadly this wasn’t the hotel experience I wanted for my husband’s birthday. I suspect there are better hotels in a similar price bracket.

I was so disappointed with this "Fancy" hotel. The location was great and easy to find. When we got to the lobby, the hotel looked clean and nicely decorated. Check in was easy. We got to our room 205 and it was nice. We immediately noticed some water damage on the ceiling in the bathroom areas and closet. Didn\'t think much of it until that night it started raining..As we were sleeping around 3am, they was water coming out of the bathroom ceiling. It was so bad that it sounded like someone had turned on the shower. My husband quickly got up and started to hold the trash can under. I ran down to the lobby to get help, and the whole lobby was flooded. The older guy at the reception was in the phone. Once he got off I asked to call the manager and help us out. He just said "I don\'t know". Next morning, we went down to talk to someone else and got no help. We explained that basically we had to use all our towels to stop the water. The lady at the reception said to me " we are on code red and this is not hotels fault". I was pissed and finally told her that I wanted her to tell her Manager that I\'m not paying for the night and this unacceptable. She said she would talk to her manager. Then she came in our room with house cleaning and brought extra towels. She also took pictures of the areas that were leaking. Second night it rained again and we complained again. Eventually, they did not charge us for the first night and discount the second night.

This is a chic, well-appointed hotel with charming rooms in a central location in Syracuse -- situated between the enormous Greek ruins and the charming old Roman section of Ortigia. The rooms are clean and elegant, with creative decor, comfortable beds, and modern bathrooms. The lobby is bright and cheerful. The attached dining area is large and airy, offering a large, many-option and reasonably-priced buffet breakfast. The staff are kind and helpful. My only suggestion to the hotel is to offer in-room fresh water in pitchers or reusable glass bottles instead of in single-use plastic bottles.
