great location early check-in possible deal jewish baths

This hotel has a great location. I was close to the beach and multiple places to eat. Early check-in was possible because a deal was available for my stay. The hotel allowed me to see jewish baths. These baths are above the hotel.

The hotel accepted to keep my bags only until 1pm on my last day. Otherwise, It is difficult to find parking in ortigia.
