    The room was quite small and outdated. The shower was good in terms of pressure and cleanliness but you are standing inside a box with a shower curtain. The decor was also outdated. There is no parking next to the hotel. Breakfast was small.

    The location is perfect, you are literally in the center of Cefalu, a couple of minutes walk to the Duomo and the sea plus next to amazing restaurants. There is also an amazing roof terrace, perfect for enjoying a bit of sun in the morning of watch the beautiful sunset over the sea.

    Our standard double room, although comfortable, was very small. It would have felt claustrophobic if we had wanted to spend time during the day.

    We loved the location a very short walk from the sea front and from the cathedral and rock. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. We especially liked the rooftop terrace including excellent service and aperitifs.

    Terrible staff, threatened with fines if I would have left moped nearby others on the street and offered a parking for extra 20€ (FOR A MOPED), after FOUR times asking for iron, we received only promises, but no iron. Could not quickly check us in, and we had to leave our ID cards, which afterwards I had to ask myself to return.

    Originally I booked a economy double/twin room and selected the twin option. This wasn’t available which is annoying of booking that I can select the twin, it’s the reason I booked this room. Eventually we payed extra and upgraded to a triple room.

    Comfortable, in the center of Cefalu where all is within walking distance. Nice staff. Good breakfast. Hotel has an elevator. We parked outside the ZTL zone in the direction of the port.

    The room could have had an uplift. Curtains are falling down so outdated. Fresh paint and new bedding would have made the difference.

    The argumentative owner and bad experience at reception

    The owner was cold, detached and not welcoming. Owner demanded an additional €25 penalty fee for change of date on original booking and after a very heated argument and protecting our case she refused to relent citing house policy. Beware, mistakes in booking with this property are costly.

    It would have been more comfortable to have some umbrellas on the roof top terrace. This would have made for a more enjoyable space in the heat of the day, otherwise all good

    The location of this place was excellent right in the old town and close to restaurants. It was also an easy walk from the train station. The staff were welcoming and the breakfasts very good.

    Hard to fault really, other than the double bed being two singles pushed together. Breakfast ok but nothing more

    Classy surprise package in an amazing central Medieval town position, despite that, fairly quiet street (on which I had a balcony). Friendly helpful staff, well finished and maintained building, good street presence, everything works. The rooftop terrace bar an absolute standout must-do!

    The hotel took care of our rental car - as agreed over phone in advance. It was very stressy to park the car on the side of the narrow street at arrival. Couldn’t the hotel take over the car immediately at arrival - without parking it to the side (to allow other cars to pass)?

    Good continental breakfast. Could have been more fruit (melon!) and vegetables. Nice toaster. Tasty salami. Slices of cheese, wrapped in plastics, were messy to unwrap. The cappuccino was good, but not super duper. All in all - it was a good breakfast. The rooftop terrace with a bar was great. Cosy with some 7-8 tables. The view was fantastic with the sea to the west and the mighty rock to the east. Tasty drinks and very nice staff.
