Pros:

The location- very central and close to beautiful Marina beach and the rooftop bar

Cons:

Big Disappointment – This Hotel Ruined My Stay in Cefalù

I’m not someone who usually leaves negative reviews, but in this case, I simply couldn’t stay silent.

I originally booked a standard room. A few days before arrival, I was contacted and told that if I wanted a room with a balcony that wasn’t adapted for people with disabilities, I’d need to pay an extra €10 per night. I agreed – but looking back, it feels like this is just their way of squeezing extra money from guests without being transparent.

The room I received was extremely small, and the shower was so tiny it was barely usable. The balcony was pleasant, but that didn’t make up for the sleepless nights. The rooms have no soundproofing. Every night, there was loud noise coming from the rooftop bar, and every morning I was woken up by slamming doors and noisy housekeeping.

After two nights without sleep, I had to pack my bags at 3am and request to switch rooms. I was moved to an accessible room on the ground floor – much more spacious and quieter – where I could finally get some rest. But even there, I was woken at 7am by loud renovation work.

To make matters worse, instead of offering compensation or even an apology, the owner asked me to pay the balcony surcharge for all three nights – even though on the third night I moved out of that room in the middle of the night. Naturally, I refused.

Breakfast was also disappointing: powdered juices, reheated frozen croissants, machine-made coffee, and a waitress who seemed irritated by the very presence of guests.

The only positives? The location is central, close to the marina beach, and the rooftop bar has a lovely sunset view. But none of that justifies the overall experience.

Bottom line: Avoid this hotel.
There’s no peace – day or night – the service is poor, and their way of handling guests is simply unacceptable. There are plenty of better places to stay in Cefalù – look elsewhere.

La spiaggia ed il mare di Cefalù mi hanno ricompensata.
Pros:

La posizione delle struttura perché è molto vicina alla spiaggia

Cons:

Il bagno era veramente messo male, ci vorrebbe una ristrutturazione. La colazione pessima, dal caffè della macchinetta agli affettati scadenti, poco assortimento, bicchieri di plastica e altro…..

Pros:

Super lokalita v starom meste, hotel s krásnou rooftop terasou a barom

Cons:

Slabé ranajky na 3* hotel by mohlo byť viac doloženého jedla a aj väčší výber.

Für 1-2 Nächte passt gut
Pros:

Unser Zimmer war frühzeitig bereit zum einziehen, der Blick von der Dachterrasse ist wunderschön, nach dem Auschecken gab's noch die Möglichkeit für Gepäckaufbewahrung, die zentrale Lage ist auch äußert praktisch, egal ob man einen Strandtag oder Sightseeing macht.

Cons:

Das Bad war etwas eng, das Hotel verfügt über kein Reisebett für Babys, das Frühstück bestand hauptsächlich aus Industrieprodukten, zum Trinken gab's nur super süße Säfte und schlechten Kaffee - und kein Wasser!
