Hotel zwischen Flughafen und Palermo
Pros:

Großes Zimmer mit geräumigem Bad, sehr gutes Frühstück, freundliches Personal. Gute Lage zwischen Flughafen und Palermo.

Cons:

Leider war das Hotelzimmer sehr hellhörig und es gab viele lautstarke Aktivitäten im Hotel (Musik, Gruppen, Schulklassen), wir kamen kaum vor Mitternacht zur Ruhe und frühmorgens ging es dann wieder mit lautstarken Reisegruppen weiter. Es ist ein großes Tagungshotel mit vielen Reisegruppen. Wer Ruhe sucht, sollte eine andere Unterkunft wählen.

Great hotel if you need a venue for conventions but noisy if it’s a holiday residence you were looking for.
Pros:

Kept clean! Easy to find location.

Cons:

Very very noisy, hallways need something to quieten them down a bit and the floors in the rooms are tiled which meant that any and every sound in any room is heard everywhere! We could hear people dragging chairs in their rooms from another floor.
Breakfasts were disappointing after the first visit, exactly the same offerings for the whole week we were there.

Pros:

The hotel is right in front of the beach. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable and the staff is amazing. There is also plenty of stuff to do outdoors.

Cons:

The bed frame was squeaky, most likely due to it being quite old. The furniture in the room has seen better days. The pillows were too thin for me, even when stacking two of them, I had some difficulties finding a comfortable position.
