“Excellent location and superb service, only a stone throw away from all main attractions”
As you walk in you immediately perceive the superior standard of service at this hotel. Every single member of staff is almost anticipating your needs without being intrusive -something you normally only find in good 5*. The location is the best you can think of, right on the Scalinata Alessi, with a few bars/pubs/restaurants, 1 minute walk from via Etnea, Piazza Universita', Piazza Duomo and a wealth of bars and restaurants. Please note that during week-end the 'scalinata' is quite busy with bars customers drinking and chatting outside. Rooms are well sound proofed though, hence you only slightly notice unless you open the window. Should this bother you, you could always ask for rooms at the back of the building. Great breakfast, with some sicilian specialities and the usual highly professional waiter service. . Although parking is rather restricted, the hotel staff will make sure that you don't even notice it - just leave the keys with them and they will find a parking for you at any time, night and day. Only downside is the lack of wireless internet connection (only available via cable at a fee)and perhaps the rooms could do with LCD TV. I have heard that the hotel is expanding at the back and will incorporate another historical building and a courtyard. Certainly looking forward to this development. Excellent for leisure overall and highly recommended to live the soul of the city. Will definitely go back and recommend.
