It was nice that the hotel was close to the train station as I arrived after dark and left on an early train. The neighborhood is mostly hardware stores, but safe. It's some distance from the sights on Ortygia Island, but it's equidistant from the other sights in Neopolis (ruins and museums). The room was fairly basic, and the bed was very firm, but everything was clean and the breakfast was OK. Rooms are one flight up, no elevator, but the staff helped with my large suitcase.
