Guest Reviews

• Oleg (7/5): -
• YONG HAE (9/5): - 조식이 맛있었습니다. Siracusa 기차역에서 가깝고 interbus 정류장에서도 가깝습니다. 없음.
• Marta (9/5): -
• Ergi (10/5): Highly recommend staying here. - Good view, nice staff, clean and no problems. A bit noisy in the morning.
• Gavin (10/5): Awesome location and well thought out accommodation - Great location and super clean room - excellent choice for exploring the city
• Gavin (10/5): Location is perfect - super room - friendly host - Wonderful space great amenities
• Isabella (10/5): Alles perfekt - Sehr netter Vermieter, sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr sauber. Garage in unmittelbarer Nähe. Nichts
• Karin (8/5): zentrale Lage; sehr sauber; freundlich - Zentrale Lage; parken kostenpflichtig gleich daneben möglich (Schranke) - kostenlos in umlegenden Straßen (eher Glückssache); Zimmer sehr sauber; Frühstück ok - aber da hatten wir auf Sizilien schon Besseres; Gastgeber freundlich
• Seremetis (9/5): -
• Anton (9/5): - Zentrale Lage, äußerst zuvorkommender hilfsbereiter Vermieter! Early Check in war auch möglich!
• Laura (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto e posizione ottima per esplorare Siracusa. Proprietari gentilissimi e di una ospitalità ineccepibile! - Comodità e posizione
• Ivo (7/5): Basic but clean and safe B&B - Basic B&B with a good location, especially if you want to park your car close to the building, as you cannot park in Ortigia. Walk of approximately 10 minutes to Ortigia. The room is clean and the bathrooms well equipped. Elevator is available. The furniture is very basic (Ikea), especially compared to other establishments in Sicily in March at this price point.
• Tomasz (10/5): - Exceptional host. Beautiful apartment, looks more like art galery. One of the best apartments we rented in Italy so far. Everything was perfect.
• Jiri (8/5): -
• Edwin (8/5): -
• Eva (10/5): - Ein modern und neu ausgestattetes B&B; Lage perfekt für alle Besichtigungen auch zu Fuß (z. B. sowohl Ortigia - Altstadt als auch archäologischen Park); in der Nähe Shoppingmöglichkeiten; kleiner Balkon mit Sitzmöglichkeit; B&B befindet sich im 4. Stock und ist auch mit Lift erreichbar; Anreise war schon viel früher möglich, unkompliziertes Ein- und Auschecken; sehr freundliches und hilfsbereiten Personal; Heizen mit Klimaanlage sehr gut möglich; Parkmöglichkeiten in den angrenzenden Straßen gebührenfrei, wir standen aber auf einem gleich daneben befindlichen, überwachten, kostenpflichtigen Parkplatz (20 Euro für 24 Stunden); da sich das B&B mitten in der Stadt befindet, was sehr viele Vorteile bringt, muss man mit ein wenig Straßenlärm rechnen, hat uns aber nicht gestört. Wir können diese Unterkunft bestens weiterempfehlen.
• Vincent (10/5): Very well located, rool clean and guest here to help with any need - Property ideal and Giovanni an excellent guest Nothing
• Orsolya Andrea (10/5): - Nagyon jó elhelyezkedés, ingyenes parkolás az utcán, a szállás nagyon tiszta és rendezett. A házigazda rendkívül kedves és segítőkész. Minden tökéletes volt. -
• Martina (10/5): Amazing. I would 100% recommend. - It was in a really nice location with a good view and everything needed around(shops,pharmacy,etc.). Very close to the centrum by foot. The host was super nice and helped for the best place to watch the sunset. If you are looking for a good location,nice view and very nice host that’s your place. It’s a really small thing but there was no extra blanket and I’m not a fan of AC.
• Silvia (10/5): Zentral, schönes Zimmer, gutes Frühstück und sehr freundlicher Service. - Die Unterkunft überzeugt durch ihre zentrale Lage, sodass sich alles bequem zu Fuß erkunden lässt. Das Zimmer war schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, und das leckere Frühstück wurde in einem sehr angenehmen Frühstücksraum serviert. Besonders hervorzuheben sind der sehr gute Service und die vielen hilfreichen Tipps des Gastgebers. Es gab nichts zu beanstanden.
• Emilia Chi (10/5): - Nice room located in the city center. Very nice check-in experience by a super welcoming host.
• Doris (8/5): Gute Unterkunft, geführt von sehr netten Menschen. Das Parkplatzproblem transparenter kommunieren. - Gutes Frühstück mit sehr netter Dame, welche dieses serviert. Die Altstadt ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Durch eine eigene App war die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern ganz einfach zu leisten. In der Beschreibung wurde angegeben, dass ein Parkplatz an der Unterkunft vorhanden ist. Deshalb haben wir uns für diese Unterkunft entschieden. Es gibt aber keinen reservierten Stellplatz für die Benutzer der Unterkunft. Man muss sich einen Parkplatz auf der Straße suchen, dieser ist dann kostenlos. Oder man geht in den neben der Unterkunft liegenden Parkplatz, dieser kostet pro Tag 20 Euro.
• Els (10/5): - Ik heb een fantastisch verblijf gehad bij Photoguest B&B — absoluut een 10/10! Een warm, zorgeloos en uitstekend verzorgd verblijf. Ik verbleef hier vijf nachten en vanaf het eerste moment werd ik hartelijk ontvangen door de gastheer. Hij was niet alleen bijzonder vriendelijk, maar ook tijdens mijn hele verblijf steeds bereikbaar voor tips en hulp indien nodig — wat een groot verschil maakt wanneer je alleen reist. Dankzij zijn betrokkenheid en gastvrijheid voelde ik me hier echt thuis. Alles samen maakte dit mijn verblijf in Siracusa extra aangenaam en onvergetelijk. Een absolute aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar kwaliteit én persoonlijke aandacht!
• Els (10/5): - Ho trascorso un soggiorno fantastico presso Photoguest B&B — assolutamente 10/10! Un soggiorno caloroso, senza pensieri e curato in ogni dettaglio. Ho soggiornato qui per cinque notti e fin dal primo momento sono stata accolta con grande cordialità dal proprietario. Durante tutto il soggiorno è sempre stato disponibile per consigli e aiuto quando necessario — un aspetto davvero prezioso, soprattutto viaggiando da sola. Grazie alla sua disponibilità e attenzione mi sono sentita come a casa. Tutto ha contribuito a rendere il mio soggiorno a Siracusa ancora più piacevole e indimenticabile. Un posto che consiglio vivamente a chi cerca qualità e un tocco personale!
• Victoria (9/5): Great location, about a 20 minute walk to Ortigia. Very comfortable B&B. There were some great restaurants nearby in - We had a lovey welcome from Giovanni. The room was lovely and spacious and the bathroom was large with a great shower
• Vidoni (10/5): -
• Marianne Broby (8/5): -
• GIL (8/5): - נחמד, מיטה נמוכה ומזרון לא הכי נוח, אומנם הסתדרנו עם חניה אבל היה נדרש חיפוש חניה ברחוב ושינוי מיקום הרכב לפי ימים.
• Mason-Jocksch (10/5): Excellent 2 night stay in a clean, tidy and excellent Bed & Breakfast accommodation - The timeliness of the breakfast to suit our plans and needs was excellent, along with the help and assistance of the staff on hand. The locality of the B&B only a short walk away from the historical area was excellent.
• Elke (10/5): Fantastisch! - Duidelijke en vlotte communicatie met de eigenaars. Ze stuurden ook een heleboel tips door voor activiteiten en restaurants. Kamer was proper en verzorgd. We hebben erg van ons verblijf genoten!
• Emily (10/5): Great stay with a helpful host - The location was great, we found parking close by and were within walking distance of everywhere you’d want to visit. Giovanni met us for check in and also provided great information including restaurant recommendations. The room was comfortable and had a great balcony too. Nothing - everything was good
• ge (9/5): Siracusa - Gut gelegen in der Mitte zwischen Teatro Greco und Ortigia. Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Host. Es hat uns gut gefallen. Siracusa ist eine tolle Stadt. Nach dem Schickimicki von Taormina eine Wohltat! Vielleicht die laute Strasse? Aber die Fenster sind sehr gut. Man muss sie halt geschlossen halten. Landeier wie wir sind sich das halt nicht so gewohnt. Aber es ging eigentlich gut, zusammen mit der Klimaanlage.
• Putte (9/5): -
• Linsay (10/5): - The location was a great position between Sircusa and Ortigia. Recommend to book a balcony room to have views of the Pantheon. All staff were very friendly and the place was spotless. The bathroom facilities i.e shower gel could be better. I didnt bring shampoo/conditioner as it suggested it was included in the room. Description.
• Sara (9/5): -
• Isabelle (9/5): - Notre hôte nous a adressé toutes les informations nécessaires avant l'arrivée et notamment les rues pour se garer. L'accueil est sympathique et nous avons reçu de bons conseils notre séjour. La chambre était spacieuse et disposait d'une climatisation performante. Le petit-déjeuner pris sur place avec un service attentionné. Le lit était trop ferme. La chambre donne sur une avenue passante et le bruit de la circulation est présent très tôt le matin.
• Alison (10/5): - Great location for easy access to train station and buses. Apartment on the 4th floor. Host, Giovanni very helpful with lots of details in advance.
• Chiara (10/5): - Posizione Pulizia Grandezza della camera e del bagno Disponibilità e gentilezza di Giovanni Niente
• Daniel (10/5): - We had a great stay at Photoguest B&B and can recommend it unconditionally. The host Giovanni is a very warm guy who was always available via Whatsapp. The location of the B&B is very good. It is a very safe neighbourhood and you can walk to Ortigia in 10-15 minutes. There is ample free parking in the immediate vicinity. It's best to contact the host Giovanni before you arrive, who will be happy to give you tips. The facilities were very good. From my point of view at least 4-star level. We really enjoyed the balcony. We love the hustle and bustle and noise of a big city. The beds were very comfortable and there is a large fridge where we could chill our beer. The breakfast also left nothing to be desired. There is a buffet with muesli, spreads, eggs, bread, ham and cheese. Coffee on request and fresh croissants. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
• Frédéric (8/5): Bon hébergement - Qualité de la literie et propreté de la chambre Emplacement bruyant sur un boulevard passant même au 4ème étage si on aime dormir avec un peu d'air extérieur ... Une bouteille d'eau offerte à l'arrivée ne ferait pas de mal
• DELAYRE (10/5): Un bel endroit pour visiter Syracuse - Une chambre spacieuse, parfaitement propre avec un beau design, la literie est parfaite. Le personnel très agréable. Parfaitement disponibilité pour toutes questions pratiques, restaurants, visites, ... La rue en contre bas qui est très passante et donc bruyante, impossible de profiter du balcon. Pour le déjeuner nous arions apprécier des produit plus locaux.
• Iliyan (9/5): -
• Fabian (10/5): -
• Ivana (10/5): - The host is very helpful and nice - listen to his recommendations! The room was clean and near Ortigia so we were satisfied with the position of the apartment. We also had a chance to visit beaches near Siracusa so we had a lovely vacation. /
• Federico (10/5): -
• Raquel (6/5): Alojamiento aceptable pero excesivamente caro para lo que ofrece. - La habitación era muy amplia y luminosa. Contaba con todo lo necesario. Todo estaba muy limpio y olía muy bien. El anfitrión fue muy amable y se ofreció a ayudarnos en todo lo que pudiéramos necesitar. Dado el precio y la nota esperábamos mucho más. El alojamiento está en un edificio de viviendas particulares, no especialmente bonito ni moderno. La habitación cumple los mínimos de confort y necesidades, pero no pasa de eso. El baño era excesivamente pequeño, y el lavabo algo incómodo. La zona en que está ubicado no es especialmente bonita y es bastante ruidosa. Además había un mendigo durmiendo en los soportales del edificio todos los días.
• Vlad C. (10/5): -
• Vito (10/5): -
• di caro (10/5): -
• Michele (10/5): Great stay in a well positioned property. Felt very comfortable. - Giovanni was so helpful both before and during the stay. He provided great info about parking, restaurants and activities. The position is fabulous as it’s easy to walk around to both the ancient ruins and the main town/ beach. Extremely clean also. Staff were all very friendly.
• Hana (7/5): Good - A position between an archological park and Ortigia. The bathroom without a space for toilettes. A room was warm, AC worked only when we were in, was noisy and blew directly into the bed..
• Luke (10/5): Exceptional -
• Edmund (10/5): Great host, great location and super accommodation. - Our host was great making sure we were happy and recommending places to eat a couple of which we visited and were not disappointed. The place was ver clean and modern. The location was great for both the old town and the archeology park. The breakfast met our needs but given how great everything else was it felt a little basic.
• Christina (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and comfortable room at an excellent location, very nice breakfast. Also very helpful and accommodating host. We had a great time Nothing, everything was really nice
• Lauren (10/5): Excellent host - Giovanni was a brilliant host - we really appreciated the recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Very clean and spacious room, daily cleaning and excellent breakfast. Easy check in process We found street parking a little difficult
• Egzon (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect, with free parking. The host is the best I’ve encountered so far super helpful. I had to work and needed fast internet, and unbelievably, it was even better than at home, with speeds over 250 Mbps. Do I recommend this apartment? Absolutely! Worth staying here 100/10!
• Miller (8/5): Very good -
• Liuchen (9/5): Superb - Location!
• dean (10/5): - Nice, clean and comfortable room on the fourth floor of an apartment building. Our host, Giovanni, sent us plenty of excellent information by WhatsApp prior to our arrival,then met us at the front door of the building to take us up to our room (there is a lift). The whole place is tastefully decorated with a clean, modern vibe and,as the name suggests, beautiful photos adorning the walls . The room itself was fairly compact but still had a 2 door wardrobe and a good size balcony with table and chairs. A kettle and teas were supplied on request and a light continental breakfast was served each morning in the bright and airy breakfast room. The only minor thing was that my wife said her side of the bed creaked when she moved but at least it didn't wake me up! Loved it.
• Capri_sjonnie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wendy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paula (10/5): Great stay & Giovanni very helpful - Great location for main sites and also easy to get to from train station
• David (8/5): Very good value for money accommodation ideal for a short city break. - Photo Guest B&B offers good, clean, no frills, value for money accommodation in a convenient location with Ortigia being a 15- 20 minute walk away. We were able to find free off-site parking nearby but there is also a pay car park next door to the block housing the property. A basic breakfast was provided and the room was cleaned each day. Our host Giovanni was very friendly and gave us some excellent recommendations for places to eat and to visit including a boat trip with a generous discount. Although it suited our routine, the limited time frame for breakfast between 8 and 9am would not suit everyone.
• Maya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amanda (9/5): Stylish, clean and comfortable in all respects and very well positioned. Ten minute walk to Ortigia. - Excellent location - maximum of 10 minute walk to all that Siracusa has to offer. Very clean, stylish and comfortable. Excellent host - helpful and responsive. Lift for easy access - 4th floor so quiet without too much street noise. Close to train and bus stations - 5 minute walk.
• Richard (8/5): - Nice inside. Outside not so much.
• Jon (10/5): A very good value and well located - Giovanni was an excellent host, helping us find the hotel, making sure we were comfortable and knowledgeable about the ins and outs, good recommendations on dining and activities. The room was well appointed, clean and the bed was comfortable. A to-go b-fast would have been nice for our early departure.
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pedro (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, hospitable, and comfortable. Nothing
• Leslie (8/5): Pleasant room, good breakfast, good location. - Pleasant room, good breakfast, good location. On busy main road with some traffic noise. We arrived on a bank holiday and had to park the car about 1km away. Our large external window shutter was very heavy to lift up.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Dejligt stort og rent hotelværelse.
• Rn (9/5): Perfect - The host Giovanni was extremely attentive and on arrival met with us to help us with parking our car, luggage and provided excellent local information which made our stay most enjoyable. Our room was clean and comfortable and the location was great.
• Rosemary (10/5): The PhotoGuest B&B is a very good choice in Syracuse - The PhotoGuest B&B is an excellent choice. It is quite new and modern. And, It was decorated with the beautiful local photos of our host. Our room had a King bed which was very comfortable. The bathroom is roomy, the shower is large and the towels are teriffic. There were ample towels supplied as well. We also had a small deck with a table and two chairs. Breakfast was served at a large table and was very good. The attendants were delightful! Friendly and accommodating. Giovanni, our host, met us to check us in and to acquaint us with the property. He supplied information about Syracuse as well as options for excursions. The property is located in a central location...20 min walk from Ortigia, The Archological Museum and the Archeological Park. Very easy walk to the train station as well. I recommend this property as a very good choice in Syracuse. Except for the dining room, there was no commen place for guests
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Deborah (9/5): Photoguest B and B is very clean and well located to both the Archealogical Park and Ortigia Island. - Giovanni is a lovely host, room clean and the location excellent There was an odd smell coming from the bathroom, obviously the plumbing. We had to close the door to sleep.
• Marvin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rosalind (10/5): This was a good value. Very walkable. - The towels!!! Far better than all the rest of the boutique hotels we stayed in across the island. The host was very helpful and informative. This is the best location if you are traveling by train and walking the city. English speaking channel would be great for non native.
• Michelle (8/5): Very good -
• Audrey (10/5): - Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Giovanni qui nous a partagé ses bons conseils et ses bonnes adresses. L’appartement est propre et idéalement situé entre l’île d’Ortigia et le site archéologique. Nous avons pu nous garer gratuitement dans la rue en face de l’appartement grâce à l’aide de Giovanni puis nous avons tout fait à pied. Une très bonne adresse!
• Kirstie (10/5): 2 nights in April - We loved our stay with Giovanni. His communication before our stay and after was really helpful, including guides for where to park and what to see in the area. We also went on a boat trip he recommended which was really good. The room was spacious and comfortable and quiet considering its location in the town. Everything was clean and easy to use. The breakfast each morning was plentiful and served at a set time with the other guests. The location makes this B&B great as you don’t need to use your car. We would stay here again.
• Hongxia (9/5): Good location, easy find the parking - No quilt, just a thin sheet, it is uncomfortable also clod
• Marie (9/5): We had a comfortable stay at Photoguest B&B. - Clean, modern rooms in an apartment building suite. Good breakfast. Excellent communication with owner. Lighting in bathroom. Location.
• Gary (8/5): It was a good stay overall. - Good location and good value. Smell ( diffused oil maybe) was too strong for me. Toilet seat cover was discolored to yellow and towels were thin and old.
• Amanda (9/5): Superb - Easy parking and a balcony!
• J (9/5): Superb - The host is helpful and communicative, providing prompt replies to queries and offering advice and suggestions on possible travel plans. The room is spacious and functional, with a well-thought-out layout and effective heating for winter. The location is great centrally situated with convenient walking access to Ortigia depending on your walking speed. Additionally, the host quickly provided an electric kettle when requested. There is also a nice cafe across the street and some shopping places nearby. It's a simple room, though good value for money.
• Jette (8/5): Prima - Great rooms and facilities. Nice breakfast Central location. From my room not much of a view. Bit it was. Quick Walk to the central shopping street and to Ortigia
• Gay (10/5): Excellent location, clean and beautiful! - Proximity to rail station, walking distance to all area of the city, friendly & knowledgeable host, beautiful and comfortable rooms. Breakfast was excellent, too! Very secure, many options for restaurants close by. Easy communication and check in. Not a single complaint.
• Charles (10/5): Great as a base to visit, or even a stop over - Fantastic location! Not just to visit Syracuse and Ortigia but the many gorgeous villages around the area
• Michel (10/5): I recommand - The location, easy to park the car on the street, the welcoming of the owner and advices nothing
• margaret (10/5): - Friendly and very helpful with information. Clean, sleek and good breakfast. Nice balcony
• Nikolay (9/5): I would definitely recommend. - Very comfortable place, excellent location near a bus stop and 20 min walk of everything you must see in Ortigia and Siracusa. Very kind staff, upon agreement we arrived earlier and at checkout Giovanni stored our luggage during our last tour in the city before the way back. Thank you for your hospitality Giovanni and Eleonora.
• Cezarina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tatjana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (10/5): Perfect place in Siracusa - Everything was absolutely perfect. The check-in process was easy, The room was airy and bright (and clean, of course). There is really nothing that could have been improved upon. Located just outside Ortigia, both the old town and the Neapolis Archaeological Park are within easy walking distance. Street parking is available close by, but empty spaces can be tough to find. The best about the place though, is the owner Giovanni. He is extraordinarily helpful, and can give recommendations for pretty much anything. Nothing.
• Tina (10/5): Wonderful stay! - Very comfortable. Close to old town & Ortigia. Only a 60m shortcut to train station! 🚂 Giovanni was extremely helpful & arranged discounts on tours. Breakfast included
• Michael (10/5): This is a great place to stay - highly recommend - Great place to stay - well located, great staff and had everything we needed (including an elevator!)
• Etienne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christopher (6/5): Pleasant - The location was great, the host and staff were very friendly, responsive and helpful. The bed was also really comfortable and good WiFi. The shared balcony. It doesn't explicitly state the balcony was private/shared, but you assume private balcony with a private room. Even if they put some screens to separate it out a bit, it would have been much better. The breakfast situation is slightly odd, all guests sitting at 1 table. Perhaps early on in the morning separate tables would be nicer. No facilities in the room for making hot drinks. The host offered us a kettle, but a coffee machine would have been ideal.

• Linette (10/5): PhotoGuest B&B and Giovanni helped make our visit to Syracuse a wonderful one! - PhotoGuest B&B is sort of a hybrid between a hotel and a B&B. The rooms were immaculate and well appointed. Great balcony to enjoy and a great location. Our host, Giovanni, was as charming as the city and the island. He was so caring and helpful with his suggestions. He really took the time to make sure we were having the best experience possible. Highly recommend staying here.
