We only stayed one night as we were going to Cefalu to meet friends but we would have stayed here longer if we could as the service was excellent and the hotel was in such a great location. We also enjoyed a free upgrade and had a huge suite with a wrap around balcony. The breakfast was so delicious and such a wide variety of food available, something for everyone!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a great variety and was delicious! The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Only drawback was the shower... both my husband and I, individually, almost fell because the floor inside the shower was very slippery.

The Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The Concierge recommended and booked restaurants for us. The breakfast was plentiful with a huge range of options, we wouldn't choose cake for breakfast but obviously this was popular with a lot of people. Our room needed a refresh and also lacked a lot of basic amenities, such as sufficient long drop hanging space in the wardrobe, and drawers.

Great central location. Modern, clean, superb breakfast options. Polite and helpful staff. Some noise outside, but you are in the city centre after all. Unusual pillows, you’ll see what I mean when you go. But do stay here as we would definitely go back.
