Notre séjour c'est très bien passé. Le personnel très aimable a fait beaucoup d'efforts pour nous apporter l'aide dont nous avions besoin, sachant que nous ne parlions pas italien. Chambre très bonne nuit et petit déjeuner très bien.

This hotel canceled our booking - made at least 4 months in advance - and booked another hotel, Gargallo, in Ortigia. While the cancelation was unpleasant, hotel Gargallo truned out to be a very nice and convenient stay for us. Therefore, I am unable to rate Gran Bretagna Hotel, as we didn't get to stay there, due to cancellation of our booking.

Muy decepcionante.

En la página de Hoteles.com dice que el Chek-in es a las 12pm y cuando llegamos al hotel a esa hora, nos han dicho que estaba mal porque es a las 15h. En la reserva que hice indicaba que tendríamos una botella de Prosecco de bienvenida y eso nunca existió, ni siquiera tienen agua embotellada de cortesía en la habitación. Las camas son durísimas, son de mala calidad. El baño tiene un sistema de extracción de aire que suena muchísimo, es muy molesto. La ducha es horrible, el piso está manchado y da la sensación de suciedad, muy estrecha, el agua sale mal, la alcachofa está oxidada, las puertas de la ducha feas y gastadas con apariencia de suciedad. Fatal. La recepción solo funciona entre las 8am y las 6pm, no es un hotel de 3 Estrellas, deberíais anunciarlo casi como un bed and breakfast. Si vais con maletas grandes, preparaos porque solo hay escaleras y muchas, nada de ascensor.
