Livingston Hotel

Our large room with a huge window facing the sea made our Ortigia experience amazing! We also love customer services, hotel location, room cleanness and breakfast. We strongly recommend this hotel!!

We loved every moment in it, would definitely recommend, and want to go to again, and again . 🌷🌷

We are staying here for two nights to visit Syracuse and ortigia. We drove in from Agigento and the hotel was kind to give us instructions and provide us with a car valet. Driving here was a little tricky but we made it. The room is lovely. It has a very regal vibe. I love the high ceilings and two balconies overlooking the beautiful bay. It’s very quiet. The only noise I heard was in the morning when the maid was cleaning a room next to us. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom has a jacuzzi shower and a bidet. The front desk is kind and helpful. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There was eggs and bacon, quiche, coffee, tea, fresh orange juice, fresh fruit and tasty pastries. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone exploring this area.

Livingston is easily the best looking hotel in the Ortigia peninsula of Siracusa, on the eastern seaboard. The windows overlook the Mediterranean. One of the shuttered windows is actually a full-length door that opens to a very narrow balcony that gives such a great view of the water and the fortified walks that surround the peninsula. But too not look too dark, you need to open the shutters fully for both the balcony door as well as the small window to the side. The rooms are small, too small in fact that we had great difficulty opening both luggages at the same time. But the room itself looks nice - beautifully carved work desk, night tables, and wardrobe cabinet. Walls are The lower half of the walls are wood, with the upper half in classy wall cloth. It also had three beautiful wall lamps, one above each of the night tables and one on a wall. Another complaint was the lack of outlets/ There were no outlets on the work desk, unless you removed the desk lamp. Also no outlets on the night tables but there was one behind the night table - so you had to move the table forward and reach down. The wash basin is artsy but poorly designed, with very shallow catch and water on the side of the sink doesn't drain well. they had a bidet which was a plus for my wife but bidet but the toilet seat cover was aslant which was worrisome. The shower stall is the one with different nozzles but it was hard to figure out how to switch from showered to rain forest to nozzles - so we made do with shower head. There was no comforter, only a bed spread, which at least matched the curtains. Breakfast was on the 4th floor. It was basic but at least they had salmon, an orange squeezer with fresh oranges, and strawberries, which we had not seen in other breakfasts. They had a hot water pot but supposedly you couldn't use tap water since the tap water was slightly salty. Oh, and the phone didn't work.

Wonderful location! Walking distance to all of Ortigia. Highly recommended.
