Voglia Matta In Siracusa

10/06/2025: Lives on the good old days. The entrance area and breakfast room are impressive. However, we were ignored for minutes at check-in. A young man and a young woman remained sitting behind the reception desk until a hotel guest came with a request. After that, the lady finally addressed us. A sparse greeting and information about the hotel. To top it all off, despite the hotel being at minimum capacity, we were given the smallest, darkest, and most remote room. Small window with a view of the hotel's garbage dump. No space for suitcases, clothes, etc. Some of the sockets didn't work, and the shower door was out of its lock. Air conditioning was loud. No place to linger longer than necessary. The vending machine at breakfast was undrinkable. The pool area is very nice, but unfortunately the crowd is sometimes loud and unpleasant. The location is too far away to explore Ortigia on foot. It's about a 25-minute walk to the harbor, through an ugly area with no shops, cafes, etc., which resembles a favela. All in all, a bit disappointing.
