Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Aurora
Via Maestranza 111, Siracusa, Sicily, 96100, Italy
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
In a pretty old palazzo, this bare-bones inn caters mostly to backpackers and those who have the stamina to brave the four-story climb. Service is friendly and hassle-free (you get your own key to the building), and the price and location can't be beat. Rooms are aging but clean enough; some are spacious, and some overlook the coastline.
PROS
- good value
- full of character
CONS
- breakfast is not always served on the premises
- some rooms are poorly furnished
- lots of stairs to climb
