Hôtel confortable
Pros:

Terrasse sur le toit avec un magnifique vue
Chambre confortable, bien placé

Cons:

Le restaurant attenant était très bon mais ils nous ont oublié pour le dessert. J’ai trouvé cela désagréable, mais ils étaient débordés.

Pros:

Struttura in stile eoliano molto bella in zona panoramica ma centrale e a due passi dalla spiaggia. Colazione con prodotti di qualità e servita in un bellissimo giardino.

Cons:

La soluzione della colazione a-la-Cart preserva la qualità ma limita molto la scelta e la rende un po onerosa. La sera le camere sul corso rischiano di diventare un po rumorose per via dei tavoli del ristorante, ma chiudendo gli infissi il rumore non dà fastidio.

Hotel con encanto y excelente ubicación
Pros:

La ubicación. Está en una calle de tiendas y bares con mucho encanto pero poco ruidosa. A 5' andando del puerto de Santa Marina. Debajo tiene un restaurante muy bonito aunque el servicio a veces un poco colapsado por la gente.

Cons:

El desayuno a la carta no era muy abundante, aunque estaba bien de precio. Los baños se podrían mejorar, sobre todo la potencia de la ducha. Le faltan algunos detalles para subir de un 8 de nota.

Hôtel de caractère, confortable et bien situé
Pros:

Hôtel de caractère, à 500 m du port, sur une rue piétonnisée
Chambre meublée à l'ancienne, vaste et calme, bien climatisée
Excellent petit déjeuner dans un jardinet ombragé à 15 m
Personnel agréable et francophone

Cons:

Le rapport qualité - prix est un poil élevé
La navette électrique pour les transports vers le port était payante: un peu mesquin vus les tarifs

Nice spot in Salina
Pros:

Very good location: not completely in the town middle, with a nice Lipari view from the terrace. Hotel’s restaurant is very good. Decoration.

Cons:

The beds were very uncomfortable; an aspect that clearly needs improvement to match the rest of the hotel's quality. Breakfast also left something to be desired: it was necessary to select the menu the day before (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but there was total inflexibility for changes on the day itself (for example, we were refused a bowl of fruit for a child).

Lovey staff and evening restaurant. A bit bohemian but lovely stay.
Pros:

Lovely old home. It is a long walk uphill with bags to get there from the ferry. Very nice staff and delicious restaurant next door. Close to the sea for swimming.

Cons:

The bed is too short. The breakfast was very mixed up getting our order straight. The sink in the suite does not drain. The bathrobes need updating.
