Excellent location for beach and Cefalu old town - breakfast good, but not much bacon and egg- had to ask for it to trooped up a lot. A noisy club outside and next door. Music DJ until 3am every night and no handle on outside of door to balcony a problem. Roller blinds good, but no curtains and just a voile and shutters was a little inconvenient. Good location and facilities, clean and tidy Room key a little awkward as took a while to work!

Loud music in the bar opposite. The staff at the hotel were great as is the hotel. However, if you want to sleep before 2 am, forget it. So annoyed with this and the incessant drum beat club music that penetrates the hotel room that we were in. Wont be going baçk. There is no pool in the hotel although there is free access to a Lido 100 metres away.

I want to point out: there are no swimming pool nor hot tub. It was important for me. On another hand, the location is perfect. Short walk from the train station. Mostly, flat. Big grocery store within 600 metras. You can have your breakfast on a terrace, looking on a blue water of the sea. Breakfast very fulfilling.

Nice Hotel

Hotel was located across from the beach and finished to a very high standard. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. Not located as close to the old town as I would have liked but it was a pleasant stroll along the beach to reach the historic sites and buildings.

I can’t believe the reviews on this converted communal home that transformed itself into a Hotel. I have been traveling to Italy for 20 years and this is the first time the reviews let me down. This is NOT a hotel please don’t be fooled by the label.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking was easy, in an overgrown lot next to the hotel. Breakfast was good and caffè great. The rooms are a bit dated and worn down. Meets 3 star expectations though. Not a luxury property but a 15-minute walk from the downtown area and very accessible to the beach. Recommend.

Well located hotel, near the beach where you have free access to chairs and parasols. Swimming pool by the sea a five-minute walk away. Bord walk to get to the very beautiful old town. Very good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Basic room, very narrow bed and mattress too firm. Smashed patio chairs! suggestion: Offer a free bottle of water

Pros: across from beach with reserved sunbeds, walking distance to city center, good breakfast. Cons: rundown rooms: shower rusty, ants in room, broken blow dryer, poorly maintained air conditioner. Amenities not as depicted: no hot tub and no nearby pool as shown. Poor experience: I had 2 rooms rundown as described above. AC was not functioning in one room and flooded in the other room. Staff did address issues. Also there is a cafe/bar that has very loud music playing until 1:00 am which made sleep difficult. NOT FOUR STAR establishment in my opinion.
