    The bathroom could be bigger and perhaps better lighting in bathroom and room. No other complaints. A charming place to stay.

    Breakfast was amazing. Great choice of foods and local specialities. Service on terrace was wonderful. The attendees were always there to ask if another coffee was needed. All staff were very kind, warm, and welcoming and going the extra mile to help guests. can't sing their praises enough. Location cannot be bettered. I was grateful for the valet service for our large 6 person vehicle and everything went off without a hitch. The communication between staff and I prior to our arrival and planning the parking/valet was perfect thank to the professionalism of the staff. Staff served us cocktails on the beautiful terrace one evening and it was amazing. Again, the staff was so warm and friendly main for a great experience. Siracusa and Ortigia are so beautiful - my favorite spot in all of Sicily.

    All good here!

    Henry’s House is an artsy and amiable 14-room boutique hotel with a lovely antique decor. Located on the farthest reach of the Ortigia island, it’s a few blocks from the noisier streets and situated on beautiful blue Mediterranean waters that were right outside our room’s window! Everything was comfortable, breakfast was a delight, we loved it. Francesco and the entire staff could not have been more friendly, kind and helpful. Such a great hotel!

    To be really fussy, some of the bathroom fittings could have done with an update, but this didn’t really detract from our stay.

    Quirky, cosy hotel in a fantastic location, perfect for exploring Ortigia. Francesca and Francesco provided outstanding service, and nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic breakfast!

    Nothing! It was perfect! Bit of a splurge for us, but totally worth it!

    Perfect location near the Duomo in Ortiga. The room was lovely, decorated with abstract art, with a beautiful city view. We enjoyed the breakfast on the patio overlooking the water. They even had a complimentary minibar! The very best part was the incredibly kind and helpful front desk staff. They helped with dinner reservations, valet parking, directions and advice. 5 stars for service!

    Very charming Public spaces and bedrooms. Partial sea view is very little sea view but we weren’t in bedroom very much and there are great sea views from the public terraces. Staff extremely helpful both in providing recommendations and in responding to requests for coffee, bedding, etc. great location on Ortigia. Valet parking worth the price.

    it took a little time to get warm water in the shower....but that was workable.

    The hotel was in a good location, right by the water....with views of it from the dining area and some rooms. The staff was wonderful, kind and accommedating. It was a short walk to the fort and also the duomo. It's old fashion but yet really charming. The breakfasts were delishish.... we ate the food that the Sicilians normally eat for breakfast -- and it was very good. the food in general in this town was very good. I would absolutely. stay here again.

    Nothing. Outstanding in every way.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Henry's House - we had high expectations from all the excellent reviews and beautiful photographs and it did not disappoint. Indeed it exceeded them. Its popularity is well deserved. Added to all of this should be noted the outstanding staff - they were so helpful and obliging. They even helped us find an extra night of accommodation elsewhere in the city when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. Don't hesitate - book here.
