We would book Thalya Rooms again without a doubt. Perfect location to visit all highlights that Syracuse and Ortigia have to offer. Free parking in the street, clean room with comfortable bed and lovely staff. Veronica is a gem, she gave us a warm welcome and provided all information we needed to enjoy our stay in this area.
LOL Hostel is located close to the Siracuse train station. Just 2 minutes'walk! It is extremely convenient if you go there by train. There are lots if seating areas in the reception area. You can watch TV and surf Internet there. There is also a bar and an open kitchen with a fridge. There is also an outdoor seating area. The bedroom is clean and quiet. I had a good sleep there.
We have waited for 15 mins outside the accommodation which no one is inside. There isn’t any check-in details provide for us when we arrive and we have to call the owner to wait for her arrival to check in.
The room is nice and clean. However, the location is a bit too far from the city centre. There’s a bus stop nearby but there is only a single bus each hour.
The beddings were very clean and comfortable. One younger guy and a midaged man (kungfu master) at the front desk were very helpful and kind.
There was no fridge, hair dryer, no water in the room, which was acceptable. But wifi barely worked in the 2/F room and we ended up having to use quite a lot of data during our few days’ stay here. Ah, and the 2/F room we got only has a window close to the ceiling that we can’t reach, which wasn’t to my favor..
But it wasn’t easy to find a reasonably priced room around ortigia, so i guess that somewhat makes up for the downsides.
