Posizione e staff fantastici, ma le camere sono un po' datate.
Pros:

Posizione fantastica e staff molto gentile e attento.

Cons:

Il design degli interni, in particolare quello delle camere, risulta un po' datato. Una rinfrescata allo stile e un ammodernamento delle strutture valorizzerebbero molto l'hotel.

Pros:

Perfect location, great view, practically on the beach and in the centre. Very good Mediterranean breakfast, friendly staff at the reception. Spacious rooms and gorgeous balcony. Good parking facilities.

Cons:

They moved us to the room one floor before which was not an issue by itself, but the second one had a strange odour like disinfectant.

Amazing location, clean and convenient
Pros:

Breakfast was good, lots of options. Location is perfect, easily can walk to all restaurants, tourist sightsand shopping. Easy to get to, parking was perfect (outside gated lot). Direct access to the beach and Lido right in front. Hotel is very clean and accomodated 3 people. Nice small balcony overlooking the ocean.

Cons:

Hotel is very dated. Even though 3 people fit, it was tight. Like most European hotels, you need a key to get electricity in the room, but they would not provide a second key, so AC was off every time we left the room and with it being 40 degrees daily, not very comfortable. Although staff was pleasant, the personality could have been a little more approachable.

Wonderful experience
Pros:

I loved the location of this hotel. It was directly across the street from the beach and within walking distance into town. The breakfast was delicious and the service was great.

Cons:

The room was a little dated, and the bathrooms could use some love. The noise level is very high at the hotel due to the location. I used a white noise machine to help with that problem.

Hôtel pas au niveau de ses 4 étoiles
Pros:

- La vue mais qui n’a rien à voir avec l’hôtel, car elle était là avant qu’ils arrivent
- La proximité avec la vieille ville de Cefalu
- Le parking public gratuit juste à côté
- -20% de remise chez le plagiste en face

Cons:

- Ce n’est absolument pas le confort d’un 4 étoiles
- Dans le guide Michelin selon eux c’est un hôtel moderne. La personne ayant mis ce commentaire n’est jamais venue dans cet établissement ce n’est pas possible autrement
- Hôtel vieillot, désuet avec une décoration horrible
- Je pense que c’est un des hôtels les plus mal décoré au monde
- C’est un honte de payer 750 € 00 pour 2 nuits dans un tel hôtel
- Petit déjeuner médiocre surtout le café qui est atroce. Le thé c’est pareil. On dirait qu’ils utilisent de l’eau salée pour le faire
- Vu la très mauvaise qualité du petit déjeuner nous n’avons pas voulu tester le restaurant sur place
- Le personnel est insignifiant, pas souriant et vit dans la peur du patron qui passe sa journée à les surveiller et à surveiller les moindres faits et gestes des clients. Cela met une très mauvaise ambiance dans cet hôte
- Le propriétaire est obsédé par les clés (cartes) qu’il faut laisser à la réception. Il surveille cela de près
- Et le comble est qu’il nous a demandé de nous rincer les pieds à chaque fois que nous allons à la plage et que nous revenons à son hôtel
- Odeur de moisi dans chambres
- Lien corde pour ouvrir et fermer store dur à monter et descendre et fait mal au mains
- Wi-fi marche de façon aléatoire
- Pas de chaînes Tv internationales
- Sdb baignoire glauque avec rideau en plastique
- l’eau du robinet à un goût salé pour se laver les dents
- Terrasse sur le toit horrible dans l’agencement et dans le mobilier avec un climatiseur qui fait un bruit assourdissant
- Pas d’éclairage sur la terrasse
- 3 chaises sur la terrasse alors que nous sommes 4

Celkový dojem hotela hodnotím veľmi pozitívne.
Pros:

Ubytovanie malo výbornú lokalitu vzhľadom na pláž (súkromná aj verejná pláž), vlakovú stanicu - cca 10min pešo, centrum mesta a reštaurácie. Na recepcii aj v reštaurácii bol veľmi milý personál hotela. Veľmi sa nám páčilo, že pred odchodom z hotela sme dávali kartičky od izby na recepciu, cítili sme sa tak bezpečne. Každý deň nám pani upratovačky upratovali izbu - vymieňali uteráky, umývali podlahu a vynášali smeti. Raňajky boli kontinentálne, čiže bolo si z čoho vyberať. Celkový dojem hotela hodnotím veľmi pozitívne.

Cons:

Jediným takým negatívom hodnotím balkóny na izbách, ktoré sme my žiaľ nemali a tým pádom sme si nemali kam dávať sušiť mokré veci - v izbe sa nám žiaľ mokré veci, vzhľadom na vlhkosť, nevysušili.
