“Context - the rating is based on this being a 3 star hotel”

This hotel was more than adequate. I noticed some not so great reviews but keep in mind this is a 3 star hotel. Great location! The overall property was clean and orderly and quiet.

This hotel was more than adequate. I noticed some not so great reviews but keep in mind this is a 3 star hotel. Great location! The overall property was clean and orderly and quiet. The staff were pleasant. Don`t be surprised if the front door is locked. This is for security purposes. Someone wasn`t far from the door when we needed to gain access. There is an elevator albeit small. Three of us stood inside it comfortably. That is typical with smaller hotels throughout Europe. Our room overlooked the pedestrian walkway. This area is blocked off from cars. We had to park at a public lot down the street. The rates were very reasonable and the car was perfectly safe. The ensuite washroom was an average size - almost a little large for the scale of the hotel so that was a plus. The bed was firm and comfortable. Air conditioning was adequate. We have had challenges with other hotels but this was fine. Cool air did not blow directly onto us. We turned it on when leaving for dinner and returned to a comfortable room. Keep in mind this was August so we did well. Breakfast was included and adequate. Nothing fancy but we had no complaints. Again - this is a 3 star. We tipped everyone - from the bell hop to the gentleman who brought our coffee at breakfast. See photos!!!

“Not such a great visit!”

I was here for 5 nights for work. Although the hotel is central to all amenities I wasn't altogether happy. I visited during a cold spell in May and the hotel was very cold, especially in the bathroom and the breakfast room. I was informed rather curtly that the heating could not be put on at that … more

I was here for 5 nights for work. Although the hotel is central to all amenities I wasn't altogether happy. I visited during a cold spell in May and the hotel was very cold, especially in the bathroom and the breakfast room. I was informed rather curtly that the heating could not be put on at that time. Only one member of staff was willing to give me some hot water from the bar so I could have a hot drink in my room in the evening. I was quite surprised at the staff attitude as nobody greeted me on arrival or thanked me and said goodbye when I left. I stay in many hotels in Italy and Spain for work and have rarely met such casualness. Most hotels go out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable.

“Fit for purpose hotel”

Spent the weekend with friends for a local wedding. Good and clean hotel near the city centre. Rooms and bathroom are very large. Lot of noise from the streets and breakfast served only till 9am are two downsides. Price is definitely fair. Very friendly hotel receptionist. Fit for purpose lodging!

“Quaint.”

Old town, very noisy. The bath was okay, except the shower was slippery. A double-glass door opened onto the Fiat-wide street below. Don't Sicilians know to stop yelling when people are trying to sleep. The Breakfast room, on the top floor gave a panoramic view of the city. The food was tasty.
