Learn the recent history of this island and you will learn as recently as 15 years ago it was full of squatters and undesireables. This hotel is a beuatiful example of the revitalization of the area while maintaining the simplicity of this historic sea/fishing village. Rooms are elegantly and simply appointed with very comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Right across... More

This lovely little hotel is located coast side in Old Town, a short an interesting stroll to anywhere on the Island. Friendly staff, clean rooms, fresh Stop. I would definitely return to Hotel Gutkowski, and spend a few relaxing days strolling the island.

If you are looking for relaxed, high quality and clean accomadation for your stay in Syracuse then look no further. The rooms are fresh and have a feeling of wonderful "sea breeze". Although being close to the street the hotel could have been on a deserted island. The breakfast was outstanding, everything was fresh and every effort was made to... More

The hotel is not a 5* establishment and doesn't pretend to be. We found the hotel provided us with simple but very adequate accomodation; the staff were charming and helpful and the hotel is well placed to explore Ortegia. OK, the room at the front was a bit (and only a bit) noisy but the beautiful sea view made up... More

This is a charming, ingeniously renovated small hotel right by the old Syracuse harbor, in the historical Ortigia section of Siracusa. Blue prints on a corridor wall indicate that a team of architectural students from northern Germany was involved in the planning process--and that shows in some kinky, funny details that make a stay all the more pleasant. Once you... More

We stayed at the hotel Gutkowski for 1 might in Janaury 2012 and enjoyed it greatly. It is very well stuated in Ortigia with brillinat sea views and from there it very easy to visit all the areas of interest in this famous baroque city . Parking can be difficult but the staff were very helpful and found us a... More

Stayed with a group of friends. At the reception they were very kind to accomodate our needs as a big group and to help us with the parking. The hotel is strategically located in front of the sea in Ortigia Island, which can be visited easily on foot. Good breakfast. A very good choice overall. Recommended.
