Matkat – Ciotta

Kaikin puolin mukava hotelli.

Hotelli on erinomiaisella paikalla vanhan kaupungin vieressä, henkilökunta kielitaitoista ja ystävällistä. Aamiainen on erinomainen. Hotelli alkaa kaivata pintaremonttia, ja suihkussa lämmintä vettä joutuu odottamaan turhan kauan.

We booked this as an overnight stop before flying out next morning. It was such a nice place that we regretted not using it as a base for travelling the area for a longer period.

Vi trivdes jättebra på hotellet och alla i personalen var väldigt hjälpsamma och trevliga. Innergården med pool, jacuzzi och solstolar var helt magisk – en riktig oas mitt i Palermo. Frukosten var otrolig. Ingen buffé, utan maten ställdes fram i generösa mängder. För en skandinav var det ganska mycket sött (croissanter och kakor), men det fanns även salami, skinka, bröd och yoghurt. Rummet var inte superfräscht (men absolut helt ok) och madrasserna var gropiga, vilket jag märkte extra mycket eftersom jag har ont i ryggen just nu. Tror dock rummen kan variera lite. Hotellet var i alla fall väldigt charmigt & trevligt.

This was a fantastic place to stay in Sicily: Not only did it have a pool that we used constantly during the heat wave, but it's also a few minutes' walk from the beach, has AC, and has beautiful views of the island. Palermo is an easy bus ride away, and there are fantastic restaurants nearby. I would particularly like to call out the hotel staff for being immensely helpful. They answered all my questions, were quick to accommodate, and helped to make our stay extra enjoyable. Be warned the rooms are small, like some of the other reviews say, so if this bothers you, just upgrade to a bigger one when you book. I would absolutely stay here again.
