Excelente ubicación y servicio
Pros:

Perfecta ubicación el la Plaza Stesicoro. Aunque las instalaciones son un poco antiguas están bien recicladas y cumplen su objetivo. El personal es muy amable y servicial y estuvo siempre pronto a ayudar. No hicieron el favor de guardar nuestro equipaje ya que íbamos a Bari y volvíamos a Catania y agregamos dos noches suplementarias sin problema. Excelente servicio.

Cons:

Escaleras amplias para subir con equipaje aunque el personal estuvo pronto para ayudar tanto a la llegada como al dejar el hotel.

Just ok, certainly not a 8.5
Pros:

The staff is very polite, the location is central but there is a lot of noise till late at night.

Cons:

I was misleaded by the high rating of other travelers. No breakfast is served and there is no fridge or mini bar where I could store food to make my own breakfast or cool water. Keep this in mind if you visit in summer. The linen need to be replaced. The towels had marks of previous use. The bathroom ceiling has mold that had been hastily covered with a coat of paint. There are 30 stairs till you reach the reception and no elevator. Avoid if you mobility issues.

Pro: posizione. Contro: pulizia, assenza bidet, movida notturna sotto le finestre.
Pros:

La posizione è molto comoda

Cons:

La pulizia è scarsa. Il pavimento non era pulito bene (in bagno c'erano anche residui in terra ben evidenti), il bagno era molto vecchio, mancava il bidet, e non aveva finestra. In generale non c'è una sensazione di pulizia nè in stanza nè fuori dalla stanza. Ho utilizzato il frigorifero per poter mettere un farmaco e dentro era evidente che non veniva pulito da molto tempo. I tappeti in tutti gli ambienti dell'hotel (non in stanza) molto vecchi e sporchi. In stanza un armadio con dentro un piumone che non so se perché vecchio o entrambe le cose sembrava essere impolverato e non ben sgrullato. Pavimento del bagno non pulito accuratamente. Nel water c'erano le strisce del disincrostante, messo lì e poi probabilmente non pulito accuratamente. Coperte e copriletti vecchi. Sono stata in 2 stelle tenuti meglio.

Pros:

Ήταν πολύ κοντά στο κέντρο,μπορέσαμε και το γυρίσαμε με το πόδια.

Cons:

Από το σταθμο των λεωφορείων και το τρένο μέχρι το ξενοδοχείο,ο δρόμος το βραδυ δείχνει λιγο επικίνδυνος

Parfait
Pros:

J’aime tout chez eux. Le personnel, l’emplacement et le rapport qualité-prix

Cons:

Pas grand chose. Peut-être le manque de cafetière pour faire chauffer de l’eau, un petit frigo et surtout un coffre
