    Pros +

    • Cuisine in restaurant was very good. Large room with comfortable beds. Breakfast included international and Sicilian dishes. Appreciated drying rack on balcony. About 15 minutes walk to popular sights. Front Desk staff friendly and helpful.
    • The breakfast was amazing, lots of different types of food - fruits, vegetables, baked goods, etc. The only downfall was that if you didn't get there early enough, the msot part was gone.The rooms are super nice, huge bed, everything was clean and tidy. The staff was also very pleasant, although at times there was some language barrier, as their english wasnát the best.
    • The cleaner who helped me and my children get out the dodgy lift safely.

    Cons -

    • I would like to start by noting that I informed the receptionist during our interaction that I would be filing a formal complaint. Rather than showing concern or attempting to resolve the situation, she appeared indifferent, if not welcoming of it. So, here goes, as promised...Upon arrival, the receptionist was rude, dismissive, and unsympathetic. She incorrectly stated that I had booked a room for one adult and one child, when I had clearly booked for my entire family—my husband and two children. She made me feel as though I had made a mistake and offered little assistance. After two hours of waiting, she finally offered a family room for an additional €250, which was more than the original price. She told me to resolve it with Booking.com, which I found highly unprofessional.I also witnessed her being much more polite to non-Indian guests, which leads me to believe I was treated unfairly due to my race. Furthermore, the room was unclean, with a dirty shower, and the food and service were terrible.
    • Not sure where to start.The room was terrible AC leak flooded the corner of the room only get told that next time I should check outside myself the pipes!Check in was no short of Fawlty Towers where the staff just had no idea what was going onUpon checking in was given option of food which was food recycled from the breakfast No wifi connectivity in the roomsFor breakfast your better of going somewhere down the road During check out you get pieces of paper showing your order & how much extras you have to pay Just an overall bad experience from start to finish

    Good location and comfortable rooms. Most staff were excellent.

    Breakfast was OK but very disorganized - one coffee machine for lots of people.

    7JamesPosted on: 10-15-2024

    Cleanliness.LocationStaff mostly friendly

    Only one coffee machine, which broke down regularly, for a room catering for 120.Very poor access to swimming pool. If in anyway incapacitated almost impossible Very poor bar.

    8GrahamPosted on: 10-9-2024

    Clean,comfortable, spacious room, good balcony, great pool. Great breakfast.

    Just a bit far from town centre.

    8MarkPosted on: 10-1-2024

    Good.room, nice pool, good breakfast. Smart hotel, excellent parking and nice location, not too far from Noto.

    Path to pool was not ideal and scruffy. Pool wasn't open when stated. Bed was two singles connected to make a double.

    10IrenaPosted on: 9-27-2024

    Good location, clean and big room.

    No enough sun beds, staff offered chairs to seat around swimming pool, after intervention in the reception, staff brought more sun beds.

    9CROCIFISSAPosted on: 9-21-2024

    The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, staff was very helpful. Many amenities to this hotel breakfast was elegant and varied. The location and private parking made for a comfortable stay.

    Unfortunately, we could only stay one night so we did not get to use the pool, which is quite a distance from some rooms.

    10BartPosted on: 9-19-2024

    Modern, stylish, comfortable, and well appointed. Large rooms and lobby, pool, etc. Probably the best hotel in town. Decent food in restaurant.

    Very odd layout finding our way to the restaurant. 20 minute walk to main old town area.

    8CherisePosted on: 9-10-2024

    Location is excellent. Family friendly and good value for money.

    Staff need to give more attention to guests.

    7TalPosted on: 9-5-2024

    Great pool and breakfast

    Very old room

    8MeyerPosted on: 8-29-2024

    The room we had was spacious with decent size bathroom and comfy bed. The view was okay, however too hot to enjoy the balcony. A 10 min stroll into the old town which was absolutely stunning. The massive and easy to access parking, was super important for us with our hire car. When I was reading reviews re: this property, couldn’t really understand the comments about the position of the swimming pool - but now agree, the pool access was very strange. Also agree with comments that the hotel lacks personality - it’s not at all welcoming and just needs “something”. Was a pleasant stay and would highly recommend.

    The access to the pool, lack of “personality”.

    9PriscillaPosted on: 8-27-2024

    Very clean and luxurious

    The food from the bar was too expensive

    8HugoPosted on: 8-18-2024

    Staff, Rooms and bedsize. Breakfast and dinner

    No coffee maker in room

    7MariaPosted on: 8-13-2024

    The hotel is located at walking distance of the old city center. Breakfast is diverse and good. Free parking.

    Staff is uninterested and hardly speaks English, hygiene around swimming pool should improve, loud rap music from pool bar is not everyone's favorite choice. The hotel lacks character and is not worth the prices they ask.

    9SarahPosted on: 7-30-2024

    Practically everything the room was spacious, clean and with a great view, the location of the hotel, the parking facilities and above all the staff were very helpful

    The pool water could have been a bit more clean

    8JanicePosted on: 7-27-2024

    Very good breakfast , large rooms and terraces.

    The pool area is abit tucked away , and not easily accessible with toddlers whilst using a pushchair. Pool bar careless .
