The hotel was on Ortigia Island and walkable to everything, including the train station. The room and hotel were very clean and I happened to have a sea view room with a nice little balcony on it. It was a bit too cold (March) for me to enjoy doing that, and the breakfast, which, in better weather can be eaten outside was a good international breakfast buffet. The breakfast room (inside) is small, so I suppose, during busy season there might be a seating issue, but I didn't experience that. The staff was professional and helpful. My only slight negative was that it was pretty cold in the room and there was no way to control the heat. (Generally, in Italy, you can still have heat access through the end of March.)
