Positives: large, clean pool, plenty of loungers and umbrellas. Hotel bright and clean but a little dated. Breakfast was very good, especially the croissants. Pleasant 20 minute walk to beautiful Cefalù along the promenade. Negatives: parking charges not made clear prior to booking - 15 euro per day Charges to use beach at 10 euro per day per person. No shops or restaurants near by.

Before we left for our trip into Cefalu, we were reassured by the hotel that there would be many cabs at the station. There were none. When we called Hotel Tourist for assistance, they said no, and then hung up on us. I walk with a cane and it was tough. They were sarcastic with us when we didn’t understand that the key turned on electrical for the room. After the first day it was better, (attitude) but I wouldn’t come here again. The room was so small, and the area wasn’t good for choices regarding restaurants. Cefalu is amazing but I’m assuming the other places were a lot more expensive. I live in a tourist area myself, and I get it: when the season is over everyone wants to relax. But we felt as though we were bothering them.

If you want wifi in your hotel room do not book this hotel as many of the rooms do not have wifi which was very disappointing when it advertises free wifi in all rooms

A clean, decent hotel with friendly staff.
Clean hotel and airy rooms. Very friendly staff. Putting two single mattresses on a double bed is not a good idea however as it does not help for a very comfortable sleep. And having to go up four steps to get to the elevator, luggage and all is not ideal neither. Otherwise a decent hotel, on the waterfront and only fifteen minutes or so from the centre.

This property was beachfront, and had a nice swimming pool. We walked into the Cefalu city center every night we stayed - it was a decent walk, but not overwhelming. The air conditioning in the room functioned great. We enjoyed checking out the little bars/food opportunities along the beach as well. Overall, a nice, clean hotel in a great location.
