Excellent location and friendly English speaking staff. Great a/c! A bit dated which we could already see from pics on website but very clean. Expected more from breakfast and it was a bit lacking.

The hotel is located in the heart of the historical centre of Cefalu and thus is very convenient. We upgraded our room but it was much smaller than expected.

Stay anywhere else
The noise in this hotel is unbearable and unfortunately overshadowed everything else. By 1.30am I had tried everything and asked reception about when the noise would stop & was told "no longer than another hour". Completely unacceptable. If you have a rooftop terrace, then after midnight ensure your patrons & staff taking girls up use the elevator and not the stairs past rooms where people are sleeping. It also sounded like furniture being dragged going on in the room mine above until 3am. I asked the booking agent to speak to the hotel about refunding my second night but they refused then hung up on her! I left anyway and the receptionist tried to blame the music from the pub on the the parallel street...sorry but no. Can 100% recommend Pepito Palace the next street over though, amazingly comfortable bed & pillows, and QUIET! If you want your terrace to be a disco,at least mention this on your site so people can make a choice not to book with you.

Beach holiday in Cefalu
The Hotel is very well placed in a quiet side street 5 mins walk from the town beach and close to the Duomo. The Hotel is traditional. The room was clean with good air con. The bed was comfortable. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was OK but could have had a bit more choice and better stocked.

We were given the economy room which was small, old, depressing and according to the owner needed remodeling. Bathroom was very small, the fan was very noisy.Water for showering was barely warm. View was far from courtyard view, as it was mentioned during reservation.It faced the back facade of another building with fixtures.Some of the staff were unfriendly, including an old gentleman, possibly the owner and a young girl, thin with long hair. Wifi wasnt working, in the room or in the property.they attributed it to the weather.rain??? Coffee at breakfast room was from vending machine. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Ett mörkt möblerat rum med riktigt sköna sängar. Bra funktionellt badrum som hölls rent genom daglig städning. Frukosten var omväxlande och god. Det fanns äggröra, bacon och kokta ägg. Tre sorters köttpålägg och ost. Mer italiensk stil med sötare bakverk fanns också. Färsk frukt av olika sorter. Personalen är väldigt trevlig och pratar engelska. Missa inte den fantastiska takbaren där man kan ta en drink och äta något lätt. Utsikten över havet och Rocca (berget) är väldigt fin. Kort sagt ett hotell som man gärna återvänder till.
