While the cancelation was unpleasant, hotel Gargallo truned out to be a very nice and convenient stay for us. Therefore, I am unable to rate Gran Bretagna Hotel, as we didn't get to stay there, due to cancellation of our booking. ##### Vahak Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emilia Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All good so far ##### Emilia Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful boutique hotel in a premiere location - just a few minutes walk from the bridges of Ortigia, the Temple of Apollo, and the large outdoor market. The staff is incredible. Francesca arranged car pick-ups, gave us maps of the island and suggestions on what to visit, and walked with us to the box office so we could use her resident discount to buy tickets for a Greek play at the amphitheater! She, along with all her colleagues, were incredibly warm and hospitable. We were sad to say goodbye to them when it was time to leave. We also loved having a glass of cold, freshly squeezed orange juice at the bar after a day of walking. ##### Sharon Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria A Nov 1, 2024 Great location for visiting Ortigia with a great staff ##### Victoria A Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carmel Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gran Bretagna is Grand!

This hotel was very clean and in a good location for exploring Ortigia. Not too many stairs to reach the first floor. The breakfast was very good, and the young man in charge was very helpful several times on our 3 night stay. The rooms are plain but clean and large. We enjoyed the small balcony. On weekend nights the crowd below was quite loud, but the AC mostly muffled the outdoor noise. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/657F53F154929D7550DE2816CBD67F6BE3058C601699883638377.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C08E100A6C27E3281948CA37AE293EB99CC3083F1699883648196.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa F May 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice large clean room and attached bath. Great albeit small shower but our first in 4 days that actually drained (yay)! Staff very nice & helpful. With an attached restaurant for drinks & snacks it’s very convenient. Only drawback is finding parking in the local lots as the parking is very difficult in the area. Be sure to download EasyPark app before you leave also as there is no on site parking at the hotel and several of the machines in the parking lots don’t work. ##### Lisa F Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Apr 19, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and nice location in Ortigia Spacious and very comfortable room and bathroom, quite close to the entrance of the island, with an good location near a busy square. Excellent service by Andre at the desk who is super helpful. Breakfast was delicious and with many options, both hot and cold, and excellent coffee from Victoria who provided very attentive and warm service. We felt very welcome and the staff was the best part of this hotel. Just a few issues of concern: there is no elevator and a lot of steps to the second floor (but Andre helped us with luggage); and at nights there is a bar outside which can make a little noise until late. Parking is, like seems standard in Sicily, at a paid garage about 700m away. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would stay here next time we return. Ortigia is an excellent place to stay if visiting Syracuse. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Shawn Nov 14, 2024 15 min after we checked in, the staff came to tell us she made a mistake and we need to move to a different room. Then in the evening, there was no hot water. There was no front desk, no contact info in the room to report the issue. We had to find a number on the internet to call. Numerous calls later, a technician and a staff came. They seemed not to be able to resolve the issue. Instead asked us to move again. We asked if we could take a shower in another room which they allowed, Next morning, though we were told when checked in, the front desk would be staffed by 10:00 am and we could leave our luggage there. No one was there. We had to leave our luggage in our room with a notice, but dropped the key as told. When we came back around 11:00 to get our luggage, no one was there. After looking around, a cleaning lady opened the door for us. However, she refused to allow us to use the toilet even though the room was not cleaned. She was so rude and cold, i can’t believe she even worked in hospitality. No sympathy and no flexibility. I guess they already had our money so dont care. she should be fired!! We have never had any experience like this after traveling in so many countries and places. This hotel is really terrible! ##### Shawn Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kim Apr 10, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kim Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hideaki Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The staff was nice and friendly. ##### Hideaki Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eduardo Oct 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Eduardo Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anna Oct 11, 2024 musica alta fino alle 23 ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lesli Oct 7, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Lesli Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sami Oct 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Sami Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ann Sep 30, 2024 ##### Ann Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Garden Inn Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Niagara-On-The-Lake.h1327316.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Palermo](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-NH-Palermo.h17957.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dubai](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Dubai.d1079.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotel Politeama](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Politeama.h1427364.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.ca/Catania-Hotels-Palace-Catania-UNA-Esperienze.h1193988.Hotel-Information) > > [La Plage Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-La-Plage-Resort.h1723708.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-SantAndrea.h889626.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sherwood Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Sherwood-Park-Hotel.h35214412.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Nostra Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Casa-Nostra-Boutique-Hotel.h39551911.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hotel Palermo Centro](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Mercure-Hotel-Palermo-Centro.h1145743.Hotel-Information) > > [SLS Baha Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/Nassau-Hotels-SLS-Baha-Mar.h20295959.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Paradiso](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Paradiso.h1134809.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Isola Bella](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Isola-Bella.h1476673.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-NH-Collection-Taormina.h2601418.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocco Forte Villa Igiea](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Rocco-Forte-Villa-Igiea.h1671.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Piazza-Borsa.h3401456.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-BB-Hotels-Hotel-Palermo-Quattro-Canti.h972880.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d180676-tGolfHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Royal-Beach-Punta-Cana.h1837962.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/del/seattle-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/lhr/edmonton-to-london) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/mbj/montreal-to-montego-bay) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Sicily](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Sicily.d6048323.Car-Rental-Destinations) ### General > [Visit Cayman Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Cayman-Islands.dx33)
