Cosi cosi
Pros:

Il personale è stato molto gentile e disponibile. La posizione era eccellente. La vista sul mare dalla sala colazioni era incantevole.

Cons:

La stanza era vecchia e piccola. In bagno non c'era un posto dove appoggiare nulla. La doccia era minuscola; non si riusciva nemmeno a lavarsi le gambe, si poteva solo stare in piedi. La doccia doveva essere larga meno di un metro. La colazione era scarsa. Almeno c'erano le uova sode.

Moyen
Pros:

La vue depuis l'hôtel.
Son emplacement

Cons:

Le volet ne se fermait pas. La 2eme chambre avait un veux sans volet. La porte de la chambre avait une partie vitrée qui laissait passer la lumière du couloir. Un bruit d'enfer à partir de 5h du matin, le camion poubelles, un 2eme camion pour vider le verre, les scooters...

Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena y las habitaciones al menos que no dan a la fachada son muy silenciosas. La terraza de arriba es espectacular por sus vistas, con mesitas y sillas, pero la comida o bebida te la tienes que traer tu. El personal es muy amable. Y el desayuno está bastante bien.

Cons:

Lo complicado del parking a pesad de pagar 25€. Y lo anticuado del hotel.

Très bon emplacement, rapport/qualité prix, vue exceptionnelle de la terrasse
Pros:

L’emplacement idéal, en face du très beau Jardin Publique, au départ du Centre ville et des rues piétonnes. Le personnel adorable. La vue exceptionnelle de la terrasse, mieux qu’en photos.

Cons:

Les autres touristes malheureusement incorrects et bruyants en prenant l’ascenseur qui donne en face de la chambre, dans le couloir et sur la terrasse mitoyenne.

Pros:

The lady at the reception was delightful and made us feel very welcomed. We had told them of our early arrival time for parking access, but our room was ready too!
The location was the best... easy walk to downtown and the ancient greek theater, and close to the steps that take you down to the beach. Those are a bit of a trek, but totally doable (even for an out of shape 50+ woman)
We paid extra to have a room with a view... well worth it!

Beautiful
Pros:

Very good breakfast, friendly stuff. The room has a stunning view, towards Etna. The hotel has a terrace at the fourth floor, which can be used by any guest freely (you can bring your own beer). Very good location.

Cons:

The room is very poorly noise isolated, the street traffic (scooters and cars) wake you up in the night. Also, the room is small.
The hotel does not have a parking. So you can park your car at a paid parking lot, at 10 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The cost of the parking is 25 euros a night (until next day at noon), reduced from
30, for the hotel guests.
