Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Gutkowski enjoys a superb location, just a short, pleasant walk from Syracuse bus terminal and right across from the beach, offering convenient access to the sea and a quieter environment while remaining close to the action and markets. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, especially the Superior Room with its large sitting area, easily accommodating three people; note that some rooms on level one do not have a beach view. The breakfast features a wide variety of choices and the rooftop bar is a highlight, boasting great views and a lovely cocktail selection; however, a few guests have found some bathrooms to be older and not fully aligned with the hotel's overall style.

mixed feelings about this hotel

great locationexcessive noiselimited variety breakfast
the location was acceptable, it was close to many attractions.
I was quite frustrated with several aspects of my stay. The noise levels were excessive. The walls seemed thin, and i constantly heard sounds from adjacent rooms. This made it difficult to relax or concentrate. additionally, the breakfast selection was underwhelming. The variety was limited, and the quality of the food was disappointing. I expected more for the price i paid.
