Me and my boyfriend spent 5 nights in the hotel and we are very satisfied with the place. The locations is great, 20 minutes walk from the Center of the city and really close to the bus station (5 minutes walk). You can find everything close, like supermarket, pasticceria and good restaurants. The people from the reception and from the breakfast were so friendly and nice! They help us to book our tours and reserve restaurants. They are always with a good smile and mood! The hotel bedroom was equipped with everything that we needed. The shower was great and the air conditioner was working perfectly. The decoration of the hotel was really cool and I enjoyed a lot the atmosphere. Really good deal for the price.

The only think that can be better in my opinion is the breakfast. There is not too much variety and is always the same.

The name of the hotel suggested that it wouldn’t be bland - and it wasn’t. The music and art is evident everywhere in this modern hotel. Our room was large, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The open-plan courtyard seating area was delightful and the breakfast excellent. What was exceptional was the dedication of Mascia, the receptionist, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She was the star of the show!

The hotel is ideally located close to the railway station and for access to the airport/public transport. However, it is not in an up-market area of touristic interest. You would have to travel the short distances to those areas.

Nice room on two levels - with desk, wardrobe and coffee making facilities downstairs, while bed and bathroom are upstairs, this was easy to get to from the airport and the staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was traditional Italian fare (biscuits, fruit and pastries, along with ham, cheese and tomotoes) and there was lots of choice, with a friendly attendant making fresh coffee and keeping supplies topped up I had my phone stolen near the cathedral (not the hotel) and the staff were super helpful in helping me to make my connections, printing directions and making sure I was OK.

Very minor, I'd have liked to see more vegetables at breakfast (other than tomatoes) but there was fruit and ham and cheese. If you weren't expecting stairs in your room it might be a challenge with bigger bags

I chose Art & Jazz because of its proximity to the bus and train stations. In the end a group of 8 of us gathered at the hotel and they arranged some cars to take us to our resort in Siracusa. Everyone was friendly. I shared a spacious two level room, with a big bathroom. Breakfast was nice, and they brought us cappuccinos in addition to the American coffee on the buffet. The staff sent us to an amazing restaurant around the corner for dinner.

It was a lot warmer on the top level, even though the airconditioner was positioned in a good place. This could be an advantage for people who like to sleep at different temperatures.

The breakfast spread was large and there was something I could always have to eat. The room was large, with a well equipped bathroom, comfortable bed, and well needed air conditioning. I heard no outside noise, it was a nice and quiet and relaxing atmosphere in the hotel. All staff were kind and friendly and willing to help out when needed.

The location was slightly out of the city centre, which I knew beforehand, but did mean a bit of walking to the centre.

The hotel was well located, very close to the central train station and the downtown. The staff was helpful and friendly.

The AC unit is crying for a decent cleaning, it almost wasn't working which could have been a problem during summer. The gate of the hotel is always closed and you have to ring the bell in order to get in. We were told that this is not a problem because there is always somebody at the reception to get you in, but we stucked outside during the day once for 10 min.

"Chic" hotel, very clean, good breakfast (jam and ricotta very tasty), they offer special coffee too. Near train station and bus stations for any direction. Interbus, Sais, Ats, etc. One stop of metro to the downtown M. Stesicoro. The hotel offer shuttle to the beach. Familiar atmosfere. Thank you to all staff for their professionality and kindness. Special thanks to the owner for share with us his passions, the history of the hotel and "trés bonne soirée"!

This original and charming hotel is within walking distance of the train station and a Metro station. There are shops, cafés and restaurants in close proximity. The staff is extremely caring and helpful. The place is clean and quiet. I stayed in a very comfortable, well designed split level room: nice bathroom with a great shower, also a desk with a kettle and coffee and tea, a huge window, an armoire and safe, a chest of drawers and a suitcase stand. Above, up a sturdy staircase, a huge comfortable bed, a TV and a small fridge with water, soft drinks and beer for a very reasonable price, there was also a phone. Good lighting and wifi, an AC/heater, and accessible outlets for recharging devices. I think split level rooms are wonderful for couples as they give you space and some privacy. I enjoyed the room as a solo traveller. Buffet breakfast is set up in an elegant building where you are served the coffee of your choice by gracious staff. It is easy to imagine weddings and events here. A wonderful place to stay, thank you.

Nothing to report here.

Pleasant hotel not far from the city center. The service was nice, as for Katana it was clean.

The only MINUS is the very poor breakfast. No fruit (Sicily is famous for citrus), no fruit and vegetables. No hot dishes (scrambled eggs, sausages). There were frozen rolls, with a total of 20 slices of cold meat and cheese. Crosants and ..... that's all. VERY POOR!!! All in all, the price is about 20% too high!!!

The breakfast was great a large variety of food. My room was good but not so good for my husband and I as we are elderly and bathroom is downstairs, so if needed to go to bathroom during the night was a little annoying all the stairs. The location was ok but a little far from town centre, the reason I booked this hotel was that I stayed once before and liked it and also we did a tour that picked us up from outside hotel.

I didn’t like the split level room we had, because of the stairs especially at night for elderly like us.
