I have lots of good things to say about San Giorgio Palace Hotel.
First and foremost, location. It is within a less than 5 minute walking distance to all the major sites in the piazza, including the Duomo, without having to navigate all of the circuitous roads. The hotel is right off the main road with on street parking available (if you are lucky).
We booked a room at the last minute when our hotel in Siracusa lacked heat and decent parking (our car got pummeled by sea spray). When we arrived, the San Giorgio gave us a choice of rooms with even the option to tour each before choosing.
The room was extremely spacious (see photo) with a very comfortable bed and lots of heat. The bathroom was huge and had a delightful shower. Breakfast was pretty good with cheese, bread, juice and sweets options. The views were especially lovely.
Living in a 300+ year old stone farmhouse, I appreciate how hard it can be to push WiFi evenly throughout an old, stone building. WiFi was quite good. The hotel is a perfect blend of modern conveniences while retaining the beauty of its 19th century building.
Check in and checkout was a breeze. When going to Ragusa, stay nowhere else. (And please go to Ragusa... I loved it)
