Great service, but the hotel is a bit old
My stay has been excellent. The staff members were friendly, great sea view, and it is very close to everything. Then again, Mondello is not very big. The room is lacking amenities though. For example, there is no hot water kettle in the room. But overall, I think this hotel still gives a good value for money.

I did not like anything about this property. The carpet was dirty, the king size bed was made up of two single beds and it was uncomfortable, the shower was too small, and the toilet paper did not have a place to be hung. I think you should refund my money.

Perfect location- enormous spacious rooms. Super!
Massive room with fantastic view...well partial fantastic to the tiled roof (needs renovation) partial fantastic to the seaside: beautiful sunrises we could watch! Service was great- nothing special but just enough to say that this is what you need for perfect stay: not too much not too little interaction just right. Food- we only had beakfast and after the third day got a bit boring: no greens or much healthy options - not what we had from other 4* hotel breakfast choices but it was plenty and good enough - far from excellent but perfect to start a day with! Needs some update with soft furnishing as well as furniture but all partially done to a minimal effort- I don’t thing any designer consultant participated- yet everything was functional. Superb location- with parking free- what more you want in August in an Italian holiday location !

Great stay!
Hotel is in a perfect location for the beach and local shop/restaurant strip. Also a perfect location for the bus stop to go to the city for very cheap (1.40€ / person). Service was great at breakfast. A special shootout to Lino, he always welcomed us in the morning and would service us by making eggs and espresso, he is very kind! Overall great location, staff and overall hotel
