What a great find. Hotel decor a little outdated but really it added to its charm. In a great position opposite the beach. Aircon was definitely ok. We had a balcony which was perfect. Breakfast was great. Close to restaurants and to beach. Really happy with all.

A nice clean hotel with an excellent location. Parking is easy and free. The staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast is good and it was nice to sit outside over the road from the beach in the morning. The decor is slightly outdated but this doesn’t take away from its charm. However, the plumbing is noisy and this can disturb you at times.

The hotel is located is a good spot but unfortunatley the air conditoning doesn't work well. Our room was 28c whist the main foyer area was 20c. We could not control the Air Cond as only the reception had full control. We could also hear the other couple in the next room talking. We did tell the reception but all they did was ignore us as they already have our money. I for one will not stay at this Hotel again

Loved staying at this hotel for 3 nights. Reception and restaurant staff very friendly and helpful. Great location opposite beach and walking distance to Old Town and many many restaurants and shops to frequent. Comfortable bed. We had a balcony to watch the people on the esplanade. Great breakfast but don’t get to breakfast at 7am as the hot food does not come out until closer to 7.30am. Dinner at restaurant excellent. Dinner prices a fraction cheaper than Old Town restaurants. Parking next door at public parking which is very safe. Hotel validates ticket so no cost. Loved staying at this hotel. High recommend.

Great view if you have the Oceanside room. Comfortable room and above average size. Close to all amenities!Downside was that the advertised AC was clearly misstated because there was zero air flow! Other better options for less $$$$………..

Really dissappointing experience recently in this hotel in Cefalu. It is very dated in terms of decor but clean. The main issue was the quality of the breakfast and more importantly the poor customer service overall... Management is not focused or cares for the customer experience in the slightist... Much better hotels a few minutes up the road away from the town... this stay almost ruined a precious family holiday....

Nice hotel, we enjoyed staying here. The concierge, Giuseppe, was terrific the whole time, from checking in until we departed. Very pleasant and helpful. Located across from the beach and a short walk to the old part of Cefalu, we didn't need our car at all while we were there. We enjoyed our stay.

The hotel was very nice on entry, the rooms were clean and well prepared. It was hot on this date and the air conditioning was not functioning. We learned the hotels AC unit was not on, although there was a language barrier, it appeared the AC unit is turned off in the low season. Very disappointing considering this was a factor in why we chose this hotel. We had a long travel day and wanted a quiet night in with room service. Also learned this was not available. Robes were also not available contrary to the Expedia ad. Their website and Expedia ad should reflect these conditions. We sought and paid for these things specifically and were disappointed. Will not stay here again.

This is a large, modern hotel with a spacious reception area and restaurant. It's right across from the beach, and if you get a note from the hotel the beach will give you 20% off on the cost of renting a beach chair (16 euros instead of 20 for two people). The reception area had many signs about COVID restrictions, but nobody seemed to be enforcing them. I was a little put off by the signs in the room telling you all the things that are not allowed (No outside food in the rooms! No doing your laundry in the sink! No washing out your bathing suit in the bathroom!), but the room was pleasant and clean, with air conditioning. We had a sea view. The breakfast buffet was good, but it was annoying that we weren't allowed to sit at the best tables in the outdoor restaurant because those were reserved for lunch. They weren't marked "reserved," so we were embarrassed when the staff made us move after we had already sat down (this happened to other guests as well). The hotel is in the modern part of town, but just a few blocks from the much more scenic old town.

A well kept hotel. A bit quaint and all the better for that. Staff were excellent - reception, cleaning, restaurant (breakfast). Suggest getting a room with a view out on to the sea. Breakfast was no great shakes but that's not uncommon in Italian hotels. Would stay there again.
