This hotel is located right in the heart of the city center, making it super convenient for exploring the town. The rooms are spacious and offer a fantastic view, but unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't great. The staff went above and beyond to assist me during my stay, ensuring a pleasant experience. The dining options were limited, with just pizza available, and the service was slow. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.

The hotel offers brilliant air conditioning and provides an iron board in the rooms, making the stay very convenient. However, the service was lacking with an apparent disregard for customer needs. The location is excellent, close to the city center and within walking distance of the ferry terminal. The dining experience, although including homemade pastry, could be improved. Despite the service issues, the hotel's facilities are satisfying.

The hotel is centrally located, right in the heart of town with easy access to the ferry terminal. The rooms have brilliant air conditioning but lack some comfort in the beds. The service could improve in terms of fulfilling requests promptly. The dining experience offers seriously yummy options, especially the Pork Belly. Despite these aspects, the price is reasonable for the value received.

The location is central, within walking distance of the ferry terminal. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a Sicilian pastries selection available. Overall, the hotel provides a relaxing stay with decent amenities but lacks attentive service.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were equipped with a good iron board and had brilliant air conditioning, which was a plus. However, the service, especially in terms of fulfilling requests, was lacking. The location was convenient within walking distance of the ferry terminal but situated in a busy area.
