Hotel Jolly Aretusa, Syracuse+

Officially this is a four star hote,l but we rate it as three mainly because being a business class hotel, it offers little in the way of extra facilities.

However, it is in a central position - offers car parking and is ideal for motorists or those without a car being centrally situated near a major shopping street and about 20 minutes walk from the old town part of the city and Ortygia.

Facilities: Restaurant open from 0800 – 2200 hours each day, although there are numerous restaurants within a short walk as well as to museums and monuments.

There is a 24 hours reception and a lounge bar.The rooms are a good size with en suite bathrooms complete with hairdryers. They are also equipped with SAT-TV, individually controlled air conditioning, safe, mini bar and telephone.
