LoL Hostel in Siracusa was the only hostel available at out time of booking, but it turned out to be a great choice anyway, as this is one of the best-organized and cleanest hostels we visited so far. The staff are friendly, speak English, and really take their time to tell you everything about the surrounding area and recommend places and restaurants. The breakfast is also very good and the location is perfect! In our case, we had a misunderstanding with a booking and the chef of the hostel did his best to clear things up.

The Location

When you arrive at the train or bus station (which are next to each other), you have the hostel in one minute's walking distance, so it is very safe to arrive at late night, too. It takes about ten minutes to walk to the Old Town island, the archeological park, and the other sights and museums. You may or may not like the town itself. At night, you have also quite a lot of rich people walking around the Old Town, where the most places to eat are. They park their yachts, which transform into fancy party boats, at the Old Town island; during the morning and day, it's a good place for some culture and a stop on the southeast of Sicily. If you travel with the Tranitalia autobus from Catania to Siracusa, the bus arrives in Catania in front of the train station ticket office (out and right in front of the Statione Centrale). The bus is without a toilet and sometimes without air conditioning.

The location of the hostel is quiet in the night, so a good place for a good sleep.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The dorms come with an en suite bathroom and air conditioning. The rooms are nicely made -- the roof of the room is made of wood with small windows for light. The building itself fits perfectly into the surrounding area, but it's nothing too special. The dorms are incredibly quiet for Italian circumstances. All rooms are really clean, and this feels more like a hotel sometimes! The linens come encased in plastic, and are very clean, but you can decide on your own if you like that, as the beds make some noises when you move around.

Common Spaces

There is an outside area, with many tables where you can eat and drink, and space to hang your washed clothes. The kitchen is well equipped, but we didn't use it, so we can't say much about its usability. However, the included breakfast is so nice! The staff hurries to get everything ready until 8am, and fresh-brewed coffee, heated-up croissants, cereals, milk, some juice, tea, hot water, and fruits are available. Relaxed Italian oldies music plays in the background -- it's really perfect for a good mood to start the day

Summary

This hostel is really a no- brainer when it comes to staying in Siracusa. It provides everything you need, the staff are really good, and the prices are great for the busy August season. The location couldn't be more practical. The hostel offers beverages for a great price, so you don't have to carry water bottles from the market. The first-level hall even has atriums, so when it rains, the rain enters the hall in the middle while you stay dry on the outside; it's very relaxing and fits with the Greek history of the town.

New hostel located in the heart of Syracuse, Sicily, 50 meters from the train station.

This hostel wants to be a base for all low budget backpackers in one of the most beautiful, ancient and romantic cities of southern Italy, but also for travellers who like to enjoy private rooms at low cost and in a very friendly context.

Open 24 hours, all year round.

You can choose between 4 beds dorms and private rooms, double, twin or single, all with bathroom and air conditioning (dorms and rooms), and tv (only private rooms), and then join the large common areas with music, games and free use of the kitchen.We rent bikes.

In here you will find international easygoing atmosphere and friendly English speaking staff.
