Cefalù hotellit lähellä Lavatorio Medievale Fiume Cefalino

Plussat: Room cleaned daily by lovely Nina. Breakfast is amazing with fresh fruit salad and anything else you desire. And Connie and Veronica with the perfect and helpful service they provided during my stay.

Plussat: Excellent location, near the beach. Nice breakfast and very clean.

Plussat: Great location close to the old town with its shops and restaurants also close to the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. There was onsite secure parking. The breakfast was really good.

Miinukset: Tea and coffee facilities in the room would have been nice as once breakfast had finished there was no facilities for this. The on-site parking was expensive you could park offsite cheaper arranged by the hotel but in full sun.

Plussat: Staff location perfect happy people

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast

Miinukset: 20 euros a night for secure parking

Plussat: Welcome was professional courteous as were staff throughout. The hotel is well located: handy for Cefalu and for the beaches and close to the train station. Our suite was well appointed and the room was cleaned and towels changed on a daily basis by the lovely Nina. We received a complimentary bottle of fizz and a dish of fresh fruit which were nice, The bathroom was good (though see below). The owner/manager drove us in his own car to and from the hotel's sister restaurant where we had a superb dinner. This was a hotel recommendation. Breakfast was mostly good: there was a broad selection of foods that was refreshed often by the staff on their own initiative; and sometimes on prompting by guests. The bar service was very good and the waitress knew how to mix a good G&T and martini.

Miinukset: The following are intended as constructve comments and not major criticisms. Bottled still water was not provided in the room and we were charged for the one small bottle we used from the mini-bar which we felt was a bit penny-pinching. There were no instructions on how to use the fancy spa-bath which was not intuitive and in the end we gave up! On inquiry about an airport transfer back to PMO, I was quoted a price greater than that on booking.com which when pointed out the response to which was met with indifference. A swimming pool, even a small one, would have transformed our experience at this hotel but, to be fair, we knew there wasn't a pool when we booked.

Plussat: Great location, very good breakfast choice and quality, air conditioning works really well. Comfortable bed and big bedroom with balcony.

Miinukset: Service could be better. Most staff don't speak much English.

Plussat: The shower was fabulous The staff were very friendly and helpful The rooms were extremely clean and the hotel is in a great position, close to the old town and also to the beach.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Great location & immaculate - great cleaners! This year we were not charged for the cot so that was a plus. Great cakes for breakfast !

Miinukset: Charging for parking this year - haven't been charged for the last 3 years!

Plussat: What could I not like this place was amazing from the get go. The staff were so accommodating and friendly and willing to go the extra mile to help. The rooms were cleaned to an immaculate standard. The beach is a 5 min walk. The breakfast selection was lovely and the waiting staff lovely and happy and friendly. As it was approaching my 40th birthday the staff left a bucket of bubbly on ice in our room for me

Plussat: Location was fantastic, staff were all extremely helpful.

Plussat: Amazing location for exploring Cefalu, great breakfast and very friendly staff. The remote parking is great, with a taxi service provided to take you to the hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing to mention

Plussat: Staff was very nice and helpful

Miinukset: Our room was the smallest room I have ever had. Very uncomfortable, only place we could open our suitcase was on our small double bed. I would not stay in this hotel again

Plussat: Excellent location. Staff very friendly and helpful

Plussat: Very clean and in a great position

Plussat: Breakfast was simple but everything we like .

Miinukset: Can’t think of anything to be honest . If I was being moaney , then maybe the cold water in the shower could have been more powerful. Not an issue though .

Plussat: Central location. Very clean.

Miinukset: Parking was 800 m off site. Hotel did not communicate beforehand that they are located in a restricted zone for cars.

Plussat: The Hotel is located in the old city where all attractions / restaurants are very close. The hotel provides free parking outside the limited traffic zone with free taxi service to and from the hotel.

Plussat: Great for travellers arriving by car. The hotel has free parking outside the city centre in a secure parking lot – the free shuttle service from/to the parking lot is very well organised. The hotel itself is perfectly located right at the heart of Cefalu.

Miinukset: Couldn't complain about anything.

Plussat: Excellent location for sight seeing, restaurants and shops. Comfortable bed and great strong shower pressure :-) Staff were very helpful we drove from Catania and parked in the designated car park as instructed beforehand. Taxi arrived within a few minutes of us calling on the gas phone.

Miinukset: Our room was overlooking a side street, and was very noisy early morning with waste trucks emptying bins and very rattle as bottles tumbled into the trust. Shouting from men operating the truck also didn't help and this was early around 5.30 to 6.30 not good. Request a room the other side of the hotel!

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff , heaps of restaurants to pick from and clean beach

Miinukset: Room size small

Plussat: The location and on the first day the staff were helpful

Miinukset: Staff on check out were very unhelpful

Plussat: Location was great. Staff wonderful. Typical accommodation standards like much of Europe...for me I still need a fan (and I brought one) because the air conditioning never meets my standards and a memory foam topper because the beds are never comfortable enough anywhere. FYI, if you French press like me there is no perculator or the like in the room. Breakfast meh, like most of Europe. Only get one chip keycard which is kind of silly. WiFi great even for VR gaming. Didn't hear a peep at night even with balcony room (but don't wake easy anyway). Parking lot seems seemed secure enough. The beach was awesome! I will go back.

Plussat: We loved the beautiful view and the helpful staff.

Miinukset: No, it is a very nice place to stay in Cefalu.

Plussat: Staff were helpful, hotel was clean, enjoyed the breakfasts, and had dinner at the hotel, which was excellent. The wait staff are very professional. Also, proximity to the beach, shopping and restaurants.

Miinukset: The ac didn’t work properly the last night we were there.

Plussat: Great selection for breakfast and very good coffee!

Plussat: The position is perfect , literally across from beach.

Miinukset: Bed not comfortable, 2 pushed together and kept rolling in. Also would be nice to let people know that there is a charge for beach towels.

Plussat: The breakfast was ok, location great. Most of the staff was very friendly and the hotel had a nice feel to it, sort of oldish, but in a positive way. Everything was clean and kept in very good condition. There are a lot of restaurants, fast food places and a mini market right next to the hotel.

Miinukset: One of the receptionists was unnecessary rude when we took a pack of water in to our room. Apparently, it was against their policy for customers to bring food or drink to the hotel from the outside. Considering the price per room, they shouldn't bother being so ridicilously strict about such things, expecting their guests to buy everything from the hotel. That's not the way things work in 2019 and shows pointless greed over a trivial matter for a dear price in the form of poor reviews online. Other things to consider: - whilst the sea view is spectacular, the balcony in our second floor room was quite small (still adequate, though) - the water pressure in the shower was very poor and the warmth of the water fluctuated a lot - we stayed in a room for three persons, but the room was not even nearly as large as we would have expected - the hotel DOES NOT have a beach of its own - all you get is a 20% off coupon to one of the private beaches with umbrellas and beds

Plussat: Location and most staff were excellent, especially the manager. Breakfast was fantastic. Room very clean.

Miinukset: No pool. Interior of hotel very old fashioned. Male staff on reception desk not particularly friendly or helpful. Air conditioning was very poor.

Plussat: Great location - right across the road from the beach. Absolutely stunning sunsets from the balcony.

Miinukset: Were greeted (or not greeted) on our arrival by a rather disinterested older man at the reception desk - the owner I believe. He waved us towards the elevator and when we asked what room number just said, Second Floor! The other staff were all absolutely lovely though.

Plussat: The breakfast was great, as were the staff down who served us and the view from our room was lovely. The maids who cleaned our room were lovely - always friendly and pleasant. Although very nervous when the manager was around, the staff on reception were lovely and much friendlier when he wasn't there.

Miinukset: The welcome on our arrival was luke warm at best. There was a very sour faced old lady stood next to the reception who looked us all up and down unpleasantly and seemed to make the reception staff nervous, as did the Manager with grey hair and glasses (who was also unfriendly and high handed, refusing to reply in english to my questions which was very disconcerting). When we were shown to our room, the patio door didn't work properly, so for the 8 nights we were there, we could only open one side of these doors and despite this being a family room for 3, there were only two chairs on the balcony and it was a squeeze on there for all three of us to sit out. For a cost of nearly £2000, we felt really short changed. There were unwelcoming signs in the room stating that smoking was prohibited (although this was displayed in an ashtray ...); that no food or drink from outside could be consumed in the hotel room (although the mini fridge was poorly stocked with only one type of each drink and with the prices at least double that of the shop opposite). This is not the normal policy for family friendly hotels. Having normally stayed in 4* hotels for our trips, this felt like a 3* hotel that charged 4* prices and was living on past glories from the 1960s/70s - it needs to decide whether to refurb and continue to charge 4* prices or reduce their prices, policies and attitudes required to make it a welcoming choice for international visitors.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Old Fashioned, air conditioning barely worked, hot water fluctuated, no coffee.tea facilities in room, rule about not allowing outside food or beverage in room, charge for beach towel use, insisted on leaving room key at front desk.

Plussat: Pysäköinti hyvin järjestetty. Ranta kadun toisella puolella.

Miinukset: -.

Plussat: Good hot shower, good location.

Miinukset: Leaving the bags in an unsecure location

Plussat: Nice room, quite small but cosy. Every guest has access to a lovely terrace by the sea. Good location for exploring the town.

Plussat: Great location and the view from the terrace is breathtaking. Right in the heart of Cefalú and a short walk from the beach.

Plussat: Great location. Lovely deck that you could sit at and either have something to eat or drink (byo) or simply drink in the views.

Miinukset: The 47 steps I had to climb to get to my room. Lol. Very difficult lugging about 20 Kilos upstairs, especially on a hot day.

Plussat: The view from the terrace, which is pictured, is superb, as is the view from the room. The breakfast, although taken at a cafe a short walk away was good, if basic.

Miinukset: The bathroom was awful. Although the shower worked, and was hot, and it was clean enough, the bathroom was 'divided' from a small kitchen, and the rest of the accommodation by a folding door, which didnt close and had innumerable 'gaps', so its isolation from the room and kitchen was non-existent. This was a major issue. There were 50 steps to get to our room, and although reasonably fit, i am retired, and i found this a little too much. If we had wanted to use the kitchen, which as i have said wasnt really sufficiently separate from the bathroom, and was tiny, the charge was an extra 5 euros a day. needless to say we didnt use this. The second bed was a very uncomfortable sofa bed in the sitting room. Overall the standard was poor. It was a real shock having come from a stunning place in Agrigento. We asked to move, but were uncertain as to whether the other rooms would be any better, and anyway we were told it wasnt possible., and that we'd asked for a view, and we had the best view, which was remarkable.

Plussat: Perfect location

Miinukset: Breakfast wasn't includes in the price even though it's advertised as a bed and breakfast

Plussat: Very good location and nice views!

Plussat: Breakfast was at a nearby cafe where we were given a voucher, coffee was great.

Miinukset: As Im not a lover of sweet things for breakfast, I would have preferred bread and cheese but...hey I'm on holiday so not really fussed!

Plussat: The big terrace from which you can see both the sunset and the sunrise

Plussat: the terrace

Miinukset: the breakfast arrangement - the first morning they ran out of certain items, it was crowded, and not very nice

Plussat: The breakfast was so nice and the staff was so friendly

Miinukset: It is not easy to find the parking area and the entrance from there

Plussat: Valitsimme tämän hotellin vain ja ainoastaan siksi, että lähellä oli rautatieasema. Hotelli oli tavanomainen majoituspaikka esim. liikemiehille tai pariskunnille. Mitään luksusta ei hotelli tarjonnut, huone oli meidän kamoille aika ahdas, mutta perusasiat kuten palvelut ja aamiainen toimi hyvin ja sänky oli miellyttävä nukkua.

Miinukset: Näköala ikkunasta oli tylsä parkkipaikka, mutta emmehän näköalan takia hotellia valinneet. Vanhasta kaupungista löytyy sitäkin idyllisemmät näkymät ja kivoja ruokapaikkoja.

Plussat: I liked the hotel itself very much. For anyone arriving in or leaving Cefalù by train it is ideally placed. Despite its closeness to the station, it is quiet. It has a very pleasant and relaxing lounge area and throughout the hotel there is an very fine series of paintings of Cefalù by gathering same artist, which gives it a distinctive appearance. The staff are first class in every way.

Miinukset: No suggestions

Miinukset: Facilities need updating.

Plussat: Staff very helpful and very kind.

Miinukset: I know I reserved an individual room, but, the room was very humid and the smell was horrible. I didnt care because it was just 1 night, but they need to consider open AC or windows even if the room has not been occupied for a long time. Staff was the best

Plussat: The people running the place and especially the people working there made our stay a stay to remember! Ranging from the nice owners to the helpful guy at the reception, always willing to help with a huge smile - even at inhumane times at night. To the cleaning lady who was postponing her cleaning session every morning for us, yet leaving the nicest and cleanest room for us every day. And to the lady who brought us coffee for breakfast even tho we arrived late every morning, always smiling. All these people made this hotel an amazing place to stay at. And even if u spend most of the day out (what we did basically) - every day starts with a breakfast and ends in a comfortable bed after all. Some other facts: The location was amazing too (cheap pizza fast food place close by - opens till 12 midnight), main station 1 min walk, beach 4/5 min walk, city centre 10-12 min walk. Highly recommended !

Plussat: Helpful and friendly staff, balcony to hang wash, nearby grocer.

Miinukset: No cups in bathroom and an extra trash can would have been nice.

Plussat: Free parking and good location; an easy 5 minute walk to shops, restaurants and beach; and the centre of town is just 10 minutes further on; the room was quiet, clean, comfortable with a/c and fridge; buffet breakfast with plenty of choices; the staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent with fine choices.

Miinukset: Towels in room were stiff and rough; as though still embedded with soap when hung out to dry. Room got no sunlight.

Plussat: Staff

Plussat: Three streets away from the beach. Free parking. Right infront of train station and accessible to restaurants and shops.

Miinukset: Bathroom and shower are too small. Our neighbors were too loud, slamming doors and shouting, we literally watched the TV series with them. No proper quiet hours were reinforced.

Plussat: The hotel was good value for money. We chose it because it was near the railway station as we were arriving by train from Palermo. However it is very well located as it is only five minutes walk to the start of the old town and ten minutes to the seafront, beach and promenade.

Miinukset: Nothing. It was good value for money.
