Pros:

L'emplacement idéal ainsi que la possibilité de bénéficier gratuitement du parking car stationner à Cefalù est très compliqué.

Cons:

L'établissement est dans son jus, les équipements sont vieillots et absolument pas dignes d'un 4 étoiles. Le personnel à notre arrivée était tout juste aimable. De plus l'insonorisation était épouvantable, on entend les colonnes d'eau à chaque chasse d'eau actionnée ! Le petit déjeuner est très moyen, pas de fruits frais, des jus de fruits de mauvaise qualité et des viennoiseries peu qualitatives.
Le prix de notre chambre était exorbitant pour la qualité des prestations : nous avons payé 170 euros pour une nuit.

Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück war für italienische Verhältnisse super. Die Lage des Hotels direkt am Strand gleich neben der Altstadt ist perfekt. Die Zimmer sind sauber. Cefalu ist eine Reise wert. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt.

Cons:

Super, dass es einen abgeschlossenen Parkplatz gibt. Leider ist der sehr klein. Bei voller Belegung dürfte das ein Problem werden, denn in der Nähe des Hotels einen freien Parkplatz zu finden, ist sehr schwierig.

Skvělý nocleh v hotelu s vynikající polohou
Pros:

Přímo na nábřežní promenádě s výhledem na moře a západ slunce, pár kroků na pláž i do historického centra, ochotný personál, trochu retro zařízení, ale naprostá čistota - moc pěkný nocleh v nádherném přímořském městečku.

Cons:

Trochu chybí pár míst pro rychlé parkování před vchodem pro nahlášení se na recepci a vyložení bagáže - místa jsou nastálo zablokována obrubníky. Nebylo to ale neřešitelné, parkování bylo kousek vedle - a vzhledem k nedostatku parkovacích míst u centra pro značný počet ostatních "denních" návštěvníků města to asi jinak vymyslet nejde.

Buenos recuerdos de Cefalú
Pros:

La ubicación es la mejor, y tienen su propio aparcamiento. El personal es muy amable, encantadores todos. Las vistas espectaculares.

Cons:

Se oye mucho ruido de las habitaciones cercanas. Molesta que al meter la tarjeta para abrir la puerta suena un timbre que te puede despertar. Las cisternas también hacen muchísimo ruido

Frente a la playa y muy cerca de la parte peatonal
Pros:

El Hotel esta situado frente a la playa y muy cerca de la parte antigua y peatonal de Cefalu. Tiene aparcamiento exterior, al lado de la entrada. Desayuno muy bueno, cama confortable. Balcón frente al mar en la habitación. El estilo del hotel es familiar, y la decoración es como se ve en las fotos. Un poco de otra época, pero coherente.
